Sometimes it's easy to be deliberate, focused, and agile. Sometimes it isn't! To manage the ups and downs, and maximize my productivity I created a custom planner. It was made for pros that juggle lots of responsibilities and work in a dynamic environment. It's based on lessons learned from books like Deep Work, Habits of High Performers, and from my own day-to-day. The weeks where I stick to this planner I am much more productive. If you leverage it, you'll invest about 2 hours per week but the outcome in productivity should have a clear ROI.

There are some great planners out there already, but the useful ones will cost you ~$20+ every 2 or 3 months. So here's one you can print yourself as you go!

You'll need a binder. I like this one because I can combine my planner and a notebook all in one. It's foldable and flexible like a notebook, and comes with plenty of dividers. You may want to attach some strings to it to use as bookmarks.

I no longer use this page, instead, all ideas and tasks get added to into a kanban board on Notion. But the idea of getting everything down somewhere is still relevant.
