Scale Yourself

Scale Yourself is a practical guide to designing a personal operating system that replaces chaos with calm, and effort with leverage. It begins with systems thinking for individuals and shows how to architect a reliable, humane, and adaptable workflow across tasks, information, and decisions. You’ll build a backbone of task management that scales, clean up inputs through information hygiene and knowledge ops, and introduce automations that are observable, reversible, and safe. The book then teaches time analytics and forecasting to match commitments with capacity, decision systems that keep choices consistent under uncertainty, and collaboration practices that reduce meetings while improving clarity. With templates and checklists, focus protocols for different work types, and resilience and recovery systems, you create durable habits and guardrails that sustain performance. Finally, you’ll learn how to scale your system—governing tools, standardizing interfaces, and preserving single sources of truth—so growth feels steady, not frantic.
