Tomorrow

Four page types live in this file: the monthly, the weekly, the daily, and the weekly review. The monthly runs once per month; the weekly once per week; the daily as many times as you'll use it; the weekly review once at the end of the week. A fifth page — the daily planner — is optional, for the hours when you want to time-block. A4 — print at default settings.

Start with the monthly. Three or four most important tasks — what would make this month count. The codes [M1] through [M14] are already there. On Sunday night, pull what matters into the weekly. Each morning, decide the day's one line. End the week with the review — three questions, five minutes.

The diary lives on the desk, not in a drawer. Open by default. A pen close by. If the page is hard to reach, it stops being the system that decides the day.

You'll miss days. Don't backfill — that turns the page into theatre. Don't apologise — the page is a record, not a judge. Write tomorrow's line and continue.

There are no streaks. No badges. No charts of how well you've performed this month. The reward is a year that, when you look back through it, looks like a year you actually meant to live. The line is the practice.

Print the page. Write the line. The rest will follow.
