The Weekly Planning System Behind 4 Weeks Off a Year

Posted

My weekly planning system takes 15 minutes every Sunday — and it's why I can take Fridays off and 4 weeks a year without my laptop.

I'll show you the exact system: the Sidekick notepad layout I use to map appointments and limit myself to 3 tasks per day, plus the Obsidian template that syncs it all digitally with Todoist and Fantastical. This isn't time management theory — it's the actual sheet on my desk every week.
