What this is

• A structured audit drawn from genius zone and zone of excellence frameworks, adapted for working professionals
• Built for people who are operating well and want to find the next layer of leverage in how they spend their time
• Distinguishes between competence, excellence, and genius, and shows you where each lives in your current week
• Surfaces the high-leverage work you are systematically avoiding, and the lower-leverage work you are defaulting to
• Designed to be repeated quarterly to track how your zone shifts as your work changes

How to use it

A short walkthrough of the four zones, how to honestly categorise your work, and the most common mistake people make when they try to identify their genius zone for the first time.

What to do with it

1. 1 Download the audit and list every recurring task you do in a typical month
2. 2 Categorise each task into one of the four zones, being honest rather than aspirational
3. 3 Identify the tasks in your competence zone that are crowding out your genius zone
4. 4 Choose one competence-zone task to delegate, eliminate, or restructure within the next two weeks
5. 5 Repeat the audit every three months to track how the balance is shifting
