The planner graveyard

Every Planner Works For About Nine Days.

Then you have a bad week.

You come back to a screen full of red and a list of everything you didn't do. So you stop opening it. Opening it feels like being told off.

So you go looking for a better one.

It was never the planner. Every one of them assumes today's version of you can do what last week's version could. Some days you can't. Nobody can.

So We Built One That Shrinks Instead

On a bad day it shows you one task. On a good day it shows you the month.

You choose how far ahead you can cope with. Today, three days, this week, this month. It shows you that much and holds the rest back.

Anything urgent stays on the screen. Always.

Nothing is deleted and nothing goes overdue. Same file, same tasks. The only thing that changes is how much of it you have to look at.

Capacity Mode shrinking the task list

Capacity Mode, changing what you see.

And it runs through the whole file:

Tasks Brain Dump Weekly & Monthly Goals & Habits Money Meals & Shopping Movement Time Blocks

Use two tabs or all twenty.

Under the hood

"But… It's Just A Spreadsheet?"

What makes this so special?

01

One Control Runs Everything

Tell it how far ahead you can look: today, three days, this week, this month. It shows you that and holds the rest back. Anything urgent stays on screen whatever you pick.

02

Falling Behind Isn't Recorded

No streaks. No red. Nothing keeping count. Miss a day or a month and it's still just a list, with the urgent stuff at the top.

03

Every Task Has Its First Step

Not "sort the paperwork." Find the folder. The step that gets you moving is already written, so you never have to work out where to start.

04

One Task At A Time

The top of the list is bolded and everything below it goes quiet. You do that one. Then it picks the next one for you.

05

Use Two Tabs Or All Twenty

Tasks and Capacity Mode are the whole system. Money, meals, movement and the rest are there if you want them and invisible if you don't.

06

Nothing To Learn

Every formula is written and locked away. You type in one column and tick boxes. Five minutes to set up, then it just runs.

What changes

"OK… How Will This Help Me?"

You open it on bad days, because there's nothing in it to feel bad about.

You always know the one thing to start, and how to start it.

Coming back after a week off takes one click, not an evening of tidying up.

Appointments and bills stop arriving as surprises.

You can see where the money went without going looking for it.

Meals and shopping get decided once, not renegotiated every evening.

You don't have to become more consistent. The planner just stops needing you to be.

Who is this for?

This Is For You If…

Your planner graveyard is already full

You do well for a fortnight, then fall off and can't face going back

You've been told you're "lazy" or "scattered" your whole life

You'd rather see one task than seventeen

You want structure that survives a bad month

You want something flexible. No all-or-nothing, no shame

Not for you if you want an app that pings you. This is a spreadsheet. It sits still and waits.
The reason

Why I Built This

I built this after abandoning the eighth planner in a row.

They all had the same flaw. Designed for the good weeks, quietly punishing the bad ones. The overdue column grows, the streak breaks, and the thing you bought to reduce the guilt starts producing it.

I didn't need more features. I needed a planner that could get smaller when I did.

So I built one where falling behind isn't something the file can even record.

What to expect

Your First Week

Day 1

Five minutes

Open the file, dump in whatever's on your mind, and set your horizon to Today. That's the setup. The other eighteen tabs can stay empty.

Day 2

One task

The top of your list is already broken into a first step small enough to start. Do that one thing. The planner picks the next.

Day 4

The bad day

You don't open it. Nothing happens. No streak breaks, nothing turns red, nothing moves to a backlog.

Day 7

Coming back

Choose Today and pick one task. That's the whole recovery process. This is the part every other planner gets wrong.

Questions

Honest Answers To Real Questions

No. You type in one column and tick boxes. Every formula is already written and locked out of your way, so there's nothing to build and nothing you can break.

Straight after checkout you'll get an email with your link. One click makes your own private copy, which nobody else can see. You'll need a free Google account, which you already have if you use Gmail. Check your spam folder if the email hasn't arrived in a few minutes.

About five minutes. Add a few tasks and it's running. The other tabs can sit empty for as long as you like, nothing waits on them.

Anything urgent stays on the screen no matter which setting you pick. Shrinking only moves things that can wait, and one click brings the full list back. Nothing is ever deleted.

Nothing. There's no streak to break and no backlog to clear. Open it, choose Today, and pick one task. That's the entire recovery process, and it's the part every other planner gets wrong.

Two tabs are the whole system: Tasks and Capacity Mode. Money, meals and movement are there if you want them and completely ignorable if you don't. Nothing breaks when a tab stays empty.

Yes, through the free Google Sheets app, though it's built for a bigger screen. Most people add tasks on their phone and do their planning on a laptop or tablet.

No. One payment, one file, yours permanently, updates included. No renewals, nothing to cancel.

There's nothing in it that can. No streaks, no completion percentages, no red overdue column. Falling behind isn't a state the file records.
