The Story

Why I made this.

After more than a decade of coaching C-suite executives, I kept hearing a version of the same quiet confession.

"I have everything I worked for. And I am exhausted."

These were leaders who had won by every external measure. Title. Compensation. Team. And privately, they were paying a cost the spreadsheet did not show.

The BX is the answer I wished I could hand every one of them on day one. It is the operating system I now hand to every Premium client and every Women's History Bundle member. And, every year I will release 300 covented copies for sale to the general public, so be sure to add your name to the release list!

It is the planner I built so success would stop costing you the things that make it worth winning.

— JT Crittle, The Career Doctor

JT Crittle
The BX Method

Plan the week.Lead the month.Build the year.

Three rhythms that meet executives where they actually live. Strategic enough for the boardroom. Honest enough for Sunday night.

i.

Plan the Week

A weekly rhythm of priorities, daily lines, and energy checks. Not a to-do list. A leadership ritual. Multi pages to journal, and daily meeting planning.

ii.

Lead the Month

Twelve monthly themes that build the operating system of an executive who can sustain success. One discipline at a time, all year. Multi pages to journal, and daily meeting planning.

iii.

Build the Year

Quarterly check-ins, annual reflection, and a year-end review that asks the right questions — not just what you accomplished, but who you became while doing it. Multi pages to journal, and daily meeting planning.

Twelve Months

Twelve disciplines.

One year. A complete leadership operating system.

Each month contains a theme, two coaching questions, weekly planning spreads, a budget tracker, a family outings page, and a month-end reflection.

What's Inside

More than a planner.

Monthly Theme Letters

A personal note from the Career Doctor opens every month, framing the work ahead.

Weekly Planning Spreads

Daily lines, top-three priorities, grocery list, and a midweek energy check. Designed for Sunday night.

Coaching Questions

Two prompts every month, drawn from real conversations with C-suite clients. Journaling space included.

Monthly Budget Tracker

Income, fixed and variable expenses, savings, and a values reflection. Because money is a leadership conversation.

Family Outings Pages

Because the people who love you do not want your leftovers. Plan the life that makes the career worth it.

Month-End Reflection

What worked, what shifted, what you are carrying forward — anchored by a quote that earns its place.
