What's inside

Nothing in the kit is decorative — every piece has a job.

The Perfect Notebook

The Perfect Notebook

The heart of the kit. A B5 disc-bound notebook (6.9″ × 9.8″ — bigger than A5 for real planning, small enough to go everywhere), with thick cream 90gsm paper that is fountain-pen friendly and 11 aircraft-grade aluminium discs. It opens flat, folds back on itself, and opens a full 360°.

Big Blocks Dashboards — three options

Big Blocks Dashboards — three options

The page that runs your cycle, in three versions: the combined dashboard, the Professional dashboard, and the Personal dashboard — professional and personal printed back to back on the same sheet.

Daily Task Manager pages

Daily Task Manager pages

One page per day. Big Block steps at the top — always first — then Priority A and B, People To Call, a Parking Lot for non-urgent tasks, and a Notes box.

Reflection Page

Reflection Page

Printed on the other side of the Professional/Personal Big Blocks Dashboard sheet, so the beginning and the end of your cycle live on the same piece of paper.

Weekly calendar pages refill

Weekly calendar pages refill

The week at a glance, hour by hour, with a deadline box under every day. Place one at the front of each week so appointments and goals live in the same book.

Plastic Index Dividers

Plastic Index Dividers

Durable tabs that split the notebook into instant sections — current cycle, notes, archive — so you flip to the right page without searching.

Clear plastic pockets — 5 pack

Clear plastic pockets — 5 pack

Punched pockets that snap onto the discs. Receipts, tickets, business cards, a folded document — the loose paper of everyday life finally has an address.

Who it's for

The Starter Kit is built for people who have goals and a full life at the same time — and are tired of one crowding out the other. If you have tried apps that you stopped opening, or planners that were too rigid (every page pre-printed and dated) or too empty (a blank book and good intentions), this is the middle path: a printed method that guides you, on discs that let you change everything. Because the pages are undated, you can start any day of the year — there are no wasted months, and skipping a week costs you nothing.

How to use it

Plan · Act · Monitor · Reflect — the loop, step by step.

Plan

Every two weeks, open a fresh Big Blocks Dashboard and choose the handful of goals, professional and personal, that actually matter for the period. A goal that lives on the page stops consuming your head all day.

Act

Each morning, pull small concrete steps from the dashboard into the “To-Do Today / Big Blocks” section of the daily page — always before Priority A and B, because a step toward a bigger goal is the highest-value use of your day.

Monitor

At the end of each day, colour the icons you advanced on the daily page, then carry them to the dashboard. The rows tell you the truth about where your attention goes.

Reflect

At the end of the cycle, turn your dashboard sheet over and fill in the Reflection Page. What you learn there is what makes the next dashboard sharper and more realistic.

How to arrange it when it arrives

Arrange one two-week cycle, front to back. Nothing is fixed; the discs let you reorder anytime.

1. Big Blocks Dashboard

1. Big Blocks Dashboard

Your goals for the cycle. Pick the combined page, or the professional/personal sheet — the Reflection Page is printed on its back.

2. Weekly Calendar — Week 1

2. Weekly Calendar — Week 1

From the included refill: the week at a glance.

3. Daily pages — Week 1

3. Daily pages — Week 1

All seven, one per day, behind the weekly calendar.

4. Weekly + Daily — Week 2

Same pattern for the second week.

5. Blank pages to free write

Notes, ideas, lists — anything.

6. Dividers and pockets

6. Dividers and pockets

One divider at today's page, one at the dashboard, one at the free-write section — and a clear pocket at the back for receipts and loose papers.

The rhythm of a cycle

Closing the loop

When the cycle ends, flip your Professional/Personal Big Blocks Dashboard sheet over — the Reflection Page is on the other side. Fill it in while the cycle is fresh: what moved, what was neglected, and why. Then place a new dashboard on top and set your next goals with what you learned. This is how each cycle plans the next one better.

Carry only what you need

Keep the current cycle in the notebook and archive the rest — unused templates and finished pages alike. The notebook is modular, so nothing is wasted: skip a day or two and the unused pages simply wait. No guilt, no wasted paper.

The Icons Method — how progress tracking works

Every Big Block category has its own symbol — the sword in the stone for professional goals, the pinwheel for fun & recreation, the heart for relationships, the racket for body time, the sprout for personal growth, and the crossed tools for skill building. They appear in two places: at the top of every Daily Task Manager page, and in rows of ten under every goal on the Big Blocks Dashboard.

Step 1 — the daily page

Step 1 — the daily page

In the morning, circle the icons of the one or two goals you really want to advance today — not all six. That circle is a commitment. At the end of the day, colour the icons of the Big Blocks you actually advanced — finished a workout? Colour the racket. Had the coffee with your friend? Colour the heart. Took a real step on a work goal? Colour the sword.

Step 2 — the dashboard

Step 2 — the dashboard

Colour one icon in the row under the matching goal for each real step you took — only on the day you did it, never from memory. The empty icons are the point: three empty icons mean three days you did nothing on that subject. That's information, not decoration.

Reading the rows

Reading the rows

Rows that fill quickly show where your energy naturally flows. Rows that stay empty are the method's most valuable output — a mid-cycle signal while there's still time to act. Ten is not the target; it's room to grow. See the full icon language →

Tips from experienced users

Start small

Your first cycle should be modest: two or three goals, not six. The Reflection Page will tell you if you can carry more.

Start today

The notebook is undated on purpose. Begin today — not on Monday, not on the 1st of the month.

Plan at night

Write tomorrow's daily page the evening before. You will start the day executing instead of deciding.

Mark icons daily

Colour your icons at a fixed moment — many users do it each evening. It takes thirty seconds and keeps the graph honest.

Archive and reread

When a cycle ends, lift it off the discs and store it. Twice a year, reading your old reflection pages is worth more than any productivity book.

Use real ink

The 90gsm cream paper takes fountain pen, gel and highlighter without bleed — use the pens you love.

Pockets are an inbox

A pocket at the back for receipts, one at the front for things that need action — empty them at reflection time.
