A PLACE TO COME BACK TO
the planning peace you can always come back to
Planner peace sounds like a finish line. Planirvana™ is somewhere you can leave and find your way back to, as many times as you need.
WHAT IT MEANS
The moment your system feels calm and nothing is yelling at you.
Your week is in front of you. Your tasks are somewhere you trust. You know what dinner is. It never lasts forever, and it just isn’t reasonable to expect it to. The key is knowing the way back
WHY I MADE THIS
I stopped planning for over a year.
My whole setup lived on a device, and when that stopped working for me, I did not switch systems. I just quit. What brought me back was a guided journal, which is basically a planner that tells you what to write. That is why PlanirvanaTM starts with what you actually want out of planning, way before it gets to what goes on your to-do list.
THE FIVE PRINCIPLES
01
Peace is temporary
Your system will fall apart eventually. That’s normal and not a failure!
02
Check in with your system
Every so often, ask yourself what is working. Before it leaves you scrambling.
03
Scroll purposefully
Look for parts you can borrow. A task you had not thought of, a color you want to try.
04
Engineer a rhythm you can come back to
One routine you can restart any day beats five perfect weeks in a row.
05
Function + Flair
Make it work, then make it yours.
HOW YOU GET THERE
The Imperfect Practice
A weekly routine small enough that you will actually do it and forgiving enough that skipping doesn’t derail you. Start with one free page.
