Everyday tools
The small things
take up headspace too.
Routines, birthdays, the shopping. Keep them close to the plan, with a different tool for each kind of thing.
A place for your routines.
Build a programme for the habits you want to keep up. Give them a repeat pattern and an optional time window, then track what you actually did.
Your habits and their history are personal. Turn Habit Builder on when you want it.
Remember the date.
Plan what comes before it.
Keep birthdays and anniversaries in the diary. A reminder gives you a chance to act, delay it or dismiss it. When there is something to do, add the task to your plan.
Remember the date. Find time to choose a present.
Illustrative exampleA shopping list can just
be a shopping list.
Keep items and amounts in a named list. Share it with selected adults in your household, tick off purchases and archive the trip when you are done.
Link a list to a calendar event when it helps. Buying the groceries can take time in your plan; every item on the list does not need to.
Use the parts that make your day easier.
Start with your calendar and tasks. Add projects, habits and other tools as you need them.
