Give Your Best Hours to What Matters
People depend on you at work, and the people at home deserve your attention too. A calendar full of other peopleā€™s priorities makes it hard to show up for either.
Take Your Week Back helps you build a weekly plan that protects meaningful time, keeps important work moving, and leaves room for real life.
Make Room for Work and Life
A demanding week can still leave room for meaningful work, time with family, and the unexpected. In Take Your Week Back, youā€™ll practice deciding what to protect before your calendar fills up.
What You Will Learn
One — Why capable men can still feel behind
You'll see why adding another planner, app, or round of motivation often fails to solve the real problem, even when you're doing almost everything right.
Two — Build the week before it takes from you
How to protect your standards, meaningful time, professional momentum, and room for the unexpected before your calendar fills itself.
Three — Stop one hard part of the day from owning the rest
The 3 Days in 1 approach — Personal, Professional, and Passion — and how to build a deliberate transition between the different parts of your life.
Picture Next Week for a Minute
Saturday comes. Before the week starts moving, you sit down and look at it. You know what matters. You know what has to happen professionally. You know what needs to be protected at home. There is room for the things you cannot predict. And there is one problem you are going to solve this week in a way that makes future weeks easier.
Monday still has meetings. Tuesday can still go sideways. Someone can still call with a problem you did not plan for. The difference is that the whole week no longer has to collapse every time real life shows up.
Then the workday ends. You close the Professional part of your day. You know where tomorrow begins. You walk through the door and start something new.
Your family does not need a man with no ambition. They need you to arrive.
WHY I BUILT THIS
I Learned to Prepare for Pressure in Professional Kitchens
I spent more than 25 years leading in professional kitchens. Before service, you decide what matters, put things in place, and catch problems while theyā€™re still small. When the pressure hits, you have a system to return to.
During the first week of COVID uncertainty in March 2020, I sat at the kitchen table trying to help my kids with homework while my phone kept ringing. I was there, but my attention was somewhere else. After the establishments shut down and I lost my job, I saw how used to that my kids had become.
Working with a coach helped me bring the same care I gave to planning at work into the rest of my life. That work led to Take Your Week Back.
The Principles Behind the Program
Take Your Week Back draws on The Chefā€™s Code: 6 Rules That Change How You Lead, Live, and Show Up.
- Get Your Mise En Place in Order
- Taste Everything
- Control Your Fire
- Clean As You Go
- Surround Yourself with Support
- Serve with Intention
The program gives you a weekly way to put those principles into practice.
This Program Is for You Ifā€¦
- You want to do meaningful work and have time and attention left for life outside it.
- Your plans tend to disappear as soon as the week gets busy.
- You keep solving the same scheduling problems and want a better routine.
- Youā€™d benefit from setting aside time on Saturdays to plan alongside a community.
Bring Your Real Week
Bring your actual calendar to Saturday planning. Look at whatā€™s taking your time, what deserves protection, and where a better routine could make next week easier.
Use the interactive course between sessions and bring questions to the monthly Q&A.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
In Their Own Words
"These sessions were extremely valuable as they helped me review previous week's results and identify highest leverage priorities for upcoming week. The session provided focused time and were facilitated with high positive energy. Highly recommend these sessions and the facilitator."
Dilip Patel
Saturday Planning Session member
"Working with Nicholas over several months gave me something I didn't realize I needed as much as I did: confidence in my own direction. Nicholas helped me get clear on what I was actually building, trust the path I was on, and move forward with intention rather than hesitation."
Naomi Withers
EMBA, CHPC | Founder, Growth Consultant Services
"I loved the way that our conversations opened up possibility that I didn't have in my head before. I wasn't seeing that, I wasn't thinking about that, and after we spoke, I was able to see options that I didn't see before."

Take Your Week BackA FAIR QUESTION
Why It's Only $497 Right Now
The course is built. Nine modules, sixty-plus lessons, and four interactive planning tools you fill out as you go.
What isn't finished yet is the video. I'm recording a video for each lesson now.
So for this group, the full course, the Saturday sessions, and the monthly Q&A are $497 together. You'll get each video lesson as it's released, at no extra cost.
And I'm keeping it open through December 1 on purpose. A lot of us get paid on the 1st, and I didn't want timing to be the reason you missed it.
MY GUARANTEE
Four Saturdays. Thirty Days. Your Money Back If It Doesn't Change Your Week.
Show up to four Saturday sessions and use the plan. If your weeks don't feel different by day 30, email me at info@cookingphysics.com and I'll refund every dollar.
I can make that promise because I've watched what happens when someone sits down on a Saturday morning and plans the week before it starts.
