# The Ship in 7 Days week

URL: https://gocutline.com/templates/ship-in-7-days/

A launch week for builders: four hours of building every day from 09:00, two hours of design on Monday and Tuesday afternoons, launch preparation on Thursday, and the launch itself on Friday at 16:00, with the gym three mornings.

## Why it works
- **A fixed launch time** makes the week finite. Friday at 16:00 is not negotiable.
- **Design early in the week** so building is not blocked on it later.
- **Launch prep on Thursday:** copy, screenshots, the post, the list of people to tell.

## After the launch
Post the week on the Floor. A launch week with 30+ hours of building is worth showing.

## Use it

## Questions

**Can you really ship a product in 7 days?**
You can ship a first version of something small. The week works because the scope is cut to fit the week, not the other way round.
