Decision Making Micro SOP

Decision-Making Micro-SOP ( “O-Z-E-D-R Loop” )

Field	Content
Purpose	Give every teammate a 2-minute loop for deciding what to do next without waiting for leadership.
Applies to	All individual work inside the Learning-by-Doing boot-camp and live production work (Reddit, Ops, etc.).
Owner	Each Operator (you).
Success Signal	You always know exactly what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and can point to a fresh deliverable & timer entry.
Red-Flag Rule	*If you’re ≥ 10 % uncertain about what* or why, STOP and re-run this loop from Step 1.**

Step-by-Step§

#	Action	Tips / Tools	Deliverable
1. ORIENT	Zoom all the way out. Ask: “Where am I in the system?”. • Open `README_Bootcamp.md` → identify current Phase A-E. • Check Trello personal board Inbox / Q-columns for anything flagged URGENT.	Oracle-GPT prompt: `"Where am I in the boot-camp? List my open phases & blockers."`	Phase name (e.g. Phase A) written in your Clockify description.
2. ZOOM-IN	Inside that phase, locate the next unfinished step/SOP (e.g. `A-2 Device Focus Setup`). Read the mini-goal + proof-of-done.	• Use GPT: `“Summarise step A-2 and the output I must attach.”` • If GPT gives a Canvas, reply: “Text only.”	New sub-tab in your Google Doc named A-2 Deliverable (empty for now).
3. EXECUTE	• Start Time Doctor timer. • In Clockify: create a fresh entry titled `PhaseA – A-2 Device Focus`. • Do the work; keep Telegram open for “Ping when done”.	Focus Mode → DND on phone (Phase A-0 rule).	A tangible output (file, screenshot, config, etc.).
4. DOCUMENT	• Paste the output or screenshot into the matching Google-Doc tab. • Add bullet notes: “What went well / blockers / time spent”.	Google-Docs ➜ Tools ▸ Preferences ▸ Enable Markdown → `⌘+Shift+V` for clean paste.	Updated Google-Doc evidence hub.
5. REPORT	• Drop your Time-Doctor PNG + Doc link into Oracle-GPT with: `"Create daily report JSON using these artifacts (▼)."`. • Copy the GPT summary → post in Telegram (Done with Step X — ready for next).	Keep a second GPT tab as “Report Helper”, separate from the Oracle.	Daily report message posted; link lodged in Daily Reports tab.

Exceptions / Branches§

Situation	What to do
Blocked ≥ 5 min	Use Blocker escalation template in Telegram.
SOP asks for BitLocker but laptop is Win 10 Home	Skip, note the gap in Challenges bullet.
Urgent client ping interrupts loop	Pause Time-Doctor → create new Clockify entry “Client Hot-Fix” → run loop for that item, then resume.

Reference Prompts§

Orient

I’m at <Phase>. Show me unfinished steps (max 3) with proof-of-done bullets.

2. Zoom-In

I want to execute <Step-ID>. Give me: goal, 3-sentence why, and exact deliverable format.

3. Report

Using the Time-Doctor PNG + Google-Doc extract below, draft the End-of-Day report
in the standard schema (summary, hours, links, blockers, next-step).

Checklist (printable)§

I know my current Phase and Step.
Timer running in Time Doctor.
Clockify entry matches phase/step.
Deliverable pasted to correct Google-Doc tab.
Telegram “Done with Step X” message sent.
Daily report posted.

Why this loop matters§

More clarity → fewer stalls → more billable hours → bigger bonus. Follow it until it’s muscle-memory; tweak only if a better, explicit SOP replaces it.
