3. Turn bugs into action

🎥 Video lesson — video not yet migrated (source Skool video id: b5dd0b90f76b4ea3a71ea34bc66d7e18).

Objective:

Convert last week’s Bug List into clear, bite-sized action steps and a simple weekly routine for steadily removing friction from your life, business, and workflow.

This week is not about fixing everything.

It’s about learning the system for fixing things—calmly, consistently, forever.

You’ll build:

  • A weekly improvement workflow
  • A simple method for choosing which bugs to tackle
  • A way to keep actions small, specific, and non-overwhelming
  • A sustainable habit of fixing 1–3 things per week

Last week you surfaced your friction map. Now we turn that awareness into momentum.

Target: fix 1–3 small bugs per week.

That’s compounding productivity—tiny wins, stacked, with almost zero stress.

Step 1 — Choose This Week’s Targets

Open your Bug List and sort by:

  • Difficulty: lowest → highest

Pick 3 low-difficulty bugs (difficulty 1–3) for this week. They should feel:

  • easy
  • obvious
  • non-emotional
  • quick
  • low-effort

Examples:

  • Clean your desktop (digital)
  • Move your camera tripod to a fixed spot
  • Automate recurring emails
  • Consolidate API keys in one page
  • Remove one distracting phone app
  • Replace a broken cable

This week is about wins, not “courage” work.

** Step 2 — Convert Each Bug Into 1 Concrete Action**

Write a one-sentence action for each bug.

Rule: finishable in 10–20 minutes.

❌ Bad: “Improve my workspace.”

✅ Good: “Mount the laptop charger permanently under the desk.”

❌ Bad: “Fix lead management.”

✅ Good: “Create 1 Airtable view: ‘Hot Leads’ only.”

❌ Bad: “Get in shape.”

✅ Good: “Do a 10-minute bodyweight session tomorrow at 10:00.”

No vagueness. No multi-step plans. No goals. Just actions.

Step 3 — Block Time on Your Calendar

Add 2–3 “Bug Fixing” slots this week:

  • Short: 10–25 minutes
  • Low-pressure hours

Examples:

Wed 17:00 or Sat morning after coffee

During each slot, fix one bug.

You’re building a system.

Step 4 — Track Wins As You Go

Use a simple sheet (columns below). Track to create clarity; clarity creates motivation.

  • Action Step
  • Completed (Y/N)
  • Notes
  • Difficulty After Solving (often drops to 1)

**🔧 Examples **

Business Operations

  • Bug: Clients repeat onboarding questions → Action: Create a 5-question Typeform onboarding.
  • Bug: API keys scattered across emails/docs → Action: Make one “API Keys” page in Notion.
  • Bug: Rewriting the same Slack updates → Action: Save 3 reusable client update templates.

Workspace (Physical & Digital)

  • Bug: Lighting feels off → Action: Adjust key light and mark the position.
  • Bug: Laptop runs hot → Action: Clean vents with compressed air.
  • Bug: Desktop chaos → Action: Create “_Temp Files” folder and move everything in.

🎯 This week’s assignment

  1. Pick 3 low-difficulty bugs (1–3 rating).
  2. Write one 10–20 min action for each.
  3. Block 2–3 short sessions on your calendar.
  4. Track completions in your sheet.
