Hey, welcome back.

Think about the last time you made a proper plan for the next few months, felt good about it, and then actually followed it through to the end.

For most people that memory is pretty vague. Not because planning does not work. Because most plans are built for nobody in particular and therefore work for nobody in particular.

I spent a while trying to fix that problem. Here is what came out of it.

Most planning templates are designed to look complete. Quarterly goal sections, weekly reviews, habit trackers. The issue is none of it is built around your specific situation.

When you are trying to land your first freelance client, you do not need a five-year vision section. You need to know exactly what to say in an outreach message and how many to send this week. When you are building an automation system, you do not need a branding exercise. You need to ship one working workflow before the month ends.

A template built for everyone fits no one. You spend the first few minutes adapting it to your reality and eventually realize the adapting is more work than just figuring it out yourself.

The planner covers five paths: service or freelance business, newsletter, digital products, automation systems, and remote work. Each one produces a genuinely different plan because each one has a genuinely different set of priorities, tools, and first actions.

The logic underneath all five is the same. Prove the model before you scale it. But what that looks like week to week is completely different depending on where you are starting.

It also asks what holds you back most. That question shapes the weekly habit it recommends at the end. Not a generic morning routine but something specific to your situation and the thing that tends to slow you down. Research on implementation intentions by Peter Gollwitzer shows that for difficult goals, completion rates jumped from 22% to 62% simply by deciding the specific steps in advance. Vague intentions rarely survive contact with a busy week. Specific plans do. That is what this planner is built on.

Things I have built for subscribers that are worth having alongside your plan:

See you next time.
