Wheel of Founders

Help & Getting Started

Everything you need to know about using Wheel of Founders.

Getting Started Guide

1. Set Your Goal

Your journey starts with a goal. What are you working toward? This helps Mrs. Deer personalize your insights.

2. Morning Plan

Each morning, list your top 3 tasks for the day. Mark one as your "needle mover"—the one thing that will make the biggest difference.

  • Task: What needs to get done
  • Why it matters: Connect each task to your bigger goal
  • Action plan: Choose how you'll approach it (My Zone, Quick Win, Systemize, Delegate)

3. Decision Log

Founders make decisions daily. Log the important ones and why you made them. This becomes your decision-making history.

4. Evening Reflection

At the end of your day, reflect on:

  • Wins: What went well?
  • Lessons: What would you do differently?
  • Journal: Free-form thoughts about your day
  • Mood & Energy: Track how you're feeling

After each entry, Mrs. Deer generates personalized insights based on your patterns. She helps you see what you might have missed.
