How it is built
- Three focus areas, not ten: a fourth is usually why one of the first three fails
- Every goal gets a first step small enough to do in January, and a date
- If–then plans for when the plan meets real life, written before it does
- Twelve monthly check-ins of ten minutes, so the reset lasts past February
It's a flat PDF: write on it in GoodNotes or Notability, or print it. It does not have typed form fields. US Letter and A4 are both included. Pairs with the 2027 Planner for the year itself.
