The Bridge
= 22 eight-hour days per year where the business is not using you as its inbox, escalation queue and memory system.
The Bridge batches decisions from Emma, Sarah, James, Robert, Michael and Paul into one morning queue, with sources, confidence scores and audit trail attached.
Use that time for family, strategy, client relationships, or simply not working every Sunday evening.
