“I don’t have time for personal strategy planning. I’m so busy that I don’t have time to anything but work.”

Sound familiar?

In this month’s issue of my Personal Strategy Compass newsletter (paid subscription only), I’m tackling the #1 objection I hear about Personal Quarterly Offsites (PQOs). I’ve developed a stripped-down approach called the Minimum Viable PQO (“MVPQO) that takes just 30 minutes – less time than many lawyers I’ve known spend on average telling people how busy they are.

Want to know how to transform your life in half an hour? Our paid subscribers are learning three questions that cut through the noise and create immediate clarity and momentum. [Subscribe now to access the full issue]

I blend proven business concepts (like the MVP approach from “The Lean Startup”) with cutting-edge personal development insights from James Clear’s “Atomic Habits” and Nir Eyal’s work.

Paid subscribers are learning how to weave these powerful frameworks together into a 30-minute practice that creates real results. They’re also getting an exclusive AI prompt to hit the ground running.

Here’s the core insight: You don’t need a full day, or even half a day, to begin transforming your approach to personal strategy. You can start with just 30 minutes.


The biggest barrier to positive change isn’t technology – it’s getting started. We often let perfect be the enemy of good, waiting for the “right time” to begin something new.

Here’s the core insight: You don’t need a full day, or even half a day, to begin transforming your approach to personal strategy. You can start with just 30 minutes.

As someone who has long advocated for the intersection of technology, law, and personal productivity, I’ve found that the most successful innovations are often the ones that reduce friction and lower barriers to entry. The Minimum Viable PQO does exactly that – it takes the essence of the full PQO process and distills it into something anyone can do, regardless of how busy their schedule might be.

With its focus on quick wins and building momentum, the MVPQO provides a low-risk, high-reward entry point to personal strategy work.

In the latest issue of Personal Strategy Compass (available to paid subscribers), I break down the exact framework and give you:

In this issue, paid subscribers get:

  • The MVPQO framework
  • Three game-changing reflection questions
  • A practical AI prompt to get you off to a great start
  • Resources curated to help you move forward

If you’re interested in exploring this approach, you can subscribe to Personal Strategy Compass here. The MVPQO framework is just one example of how I’m working to make personal strategy accessible and actionable for busy professionals.

Remember: Sometimes the smallest steps lead to the biggest transformations. Start where you are, with what you have, even if it’s just 30 minutes. Subscribe here.
