Sunday is the day the company's stalled decision shows up in full

Sunday is the day the company's stalled decision shows up in full.

Away from the operation, without the phone, it comes back to the owner's mind:

The conversation with the partner that should have happened already.
The bank credit line renewed again, at a higher rate.
The son who is waiting for a date and stopped asking.
The offer left unanswered so as not to have to say no.

On Sunday night it is clear what needs to be done.
On the first business day, the operation swallows everything.
And the decision goes back to the next Sunday.

This weekend it got a bonus holiday.

I have seen this up close, at owners' tables: a decision rarely stalls for lack of clarity. It stalls because it never gets an hour of the working week. It lives on the weekend, and the weekend decides nothing. It only reminds.

Every turn of this cycle has a price. Interest paid, a partner further away, a more tired successor. No one books it in the spreadsheet, but the bill arrives.

My job is to take this decision out of Sunday: sit with the owner, put a number on the delay and hand back the agenda with names and dates.

Which decision in your company only shows up on Sunday?
