There is the person you imagine yourself to be: the self-concept built over years of achievement, identity, and quiet assumption. There is the person you present to the world: the values you declare, the leader you describe, the professional you perform. And then there is the person your week actually reveals: where your time goes, how present you are inside it, and how far the life you're living sits from the life you say you want.
For most high-performing professionals, these three are not the same. The gap between them is where performance quietly erodes, not through incompetence, but through accumulated distance from self.
This diagnostic maps that gap across a full seven-day week. It will not tell you what you want to hear. It will show you what is actually there.
The self-image. The story you've carried long enough to stop questioning it.
Your stated values. What you claim to prioritise when someone asks.
What your week reveals: where your time goes and how present you are inside it.
Your data stays with you. Nothing you enter here is stored, transmitted, or seen by anyone. This is a private self-diagnostic tool. At the end, you'll have the option to send your results directly to Matthew. One click, no friction. A conversation costs nothing.
Allow 45 to 60 minutes across the week, or import your calendar in seconds. The honesty of what you put in determines the value of what comes out.
Map a full week and see how it breaks down across seven categories of life.
Rate the quality of your presence in each activity, not how present you'd like to be.
Test whether your stated values are reflected in how you actually live.
Define your ideal week, then see the distance between intention and reality.
Your Identity Coherence score combines three dimensions: how present you are in your own life, how aligned your time is with your stated values, and how close your actual week is to the week you say you want. The higher the score, the less distance there is between who you claim to be and how you actually live. A week gives you signal that a single day cannot.
Map your week below, one day at a time. Use the template to start, then edit and add what's missing.
No category selection needed. The diagnostic categorises everything for you.
Please label all time blocks before calculating.
For each area of your life, rate your typical quality of presence. Not how present you aspire to be. How present you actually are.
1 = going through the motions 7 = fully immersed
Please rate your presence in every category before calculating.
Enter up to six values that genuinely matter to you. Not the ones that sound impressive. Yours. The things you would defend. The things you'd feel compromised without.
Examples: integrity, family, excellence, courage, growth, service, honesty, freedom, loyalty
Set the percentage of your week you would ideally allocate to each category. Your actual figures from Step 1 are shown alongside. The total must reach 100%.
This isn't about being realistic. It's about being honest with yourself.
If what this diagnostic surfaced felt true, the next step is a conversation. No pitch, no pressure. Just a look at what the data shows and whether there’s work worth doing.
