WEEK 7 · TASK 1
Plan Your Sabbath
A 24-hour disconnect protocol. What's in. What's out. Commit on paper.
Sabbath without a plan becomes Saturday plus guilt. Today: build the protocol so the day can actually deliver what it's for.
Action checklist
- Decide and write down:
- Start time (e.g., Saturday 6pm)
- End time (e.g., Sunday 6pm)
- What's IN — worship, family meals, walks, naps, rest
- What's OUT — work email, side projects, AI tools
- Emergency exception — what counts, what doesn't
- Tell your wife and kids the plan. Make it visible.
- First Sabbath this week. Imperfect. Show up anyway.
CAPTAIN'S NOTE
Sabbath isn't earned by a productive week. It's commanded so the captain doesn't become his own god.
SCRIPTURE SIT
Exodus 20:8 — "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy."

WEEK 7 · TASK 2
Saturday Captain's Audit
Review the week with AI. Pick ONE anchor for next week.
A captain who can't audit his own week can't lead anyone else's. Today: a structured weekly review, AI as scribe, you as decider.
Action checklist
- Open Claude. Paste any notes, captures, and journal entries from the week (no PII).
- Ask for a 5-point summary:
- What did I actually ship?
- What did I avoid?
- Where did I show up as captain?
- Where did I drift?
- What's the ONE anchor for next week?
- Cut the AI's read. Keep yours.
- Write the ONE anchor on paper. Put it where you see it Monday morning.
SCRIPTURE SIT
Lamentations 3:40 — "Let us test and examine our ways, and return to the LORD!"

WEEK 7 · TASK 3
Teach One Person One Thing
Walk one brother through one thing you learned. Watch him do it once.
The bootcamp doesn't end until you've handed it off. Multiplication is the test of mastery. Today: pick the brother, pick the thing, do the rep.
Action checklist
- Pick ONE brother — a friend, a man at church, a colleague — who needs this.
- Pick ONE thing you learned in this bootcamp that he can use.
- Schedule a 30-minute walk-through (in person if possible).
- Walk him through it. Watch him do it once. Don't take the keyboard.
- Send him the link to family-captain.html. He starts where you started.
THE GRADUATION
A captain who hoards the playbook isn't a captain. He's a hobbyist. Multiplication is the commission.
SCRIPTURE SIT
2 Timothy 2:2 — "What you have heard from me… entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also."
