Solopreneur Time-Blocking System

## CONTEXT
As a solopreneur I am client work, sales, marketing, admin, and management all at once, and my week constantly collapses into reactive firefighting. In 2026 the freelancers who thrive protect time for growth, not just delivery. I want a weekly time-blocking system that fits my real energy patterns and ensures business-building never gets crowded out by billable work.
