My Weekly Energy & Focus Planner
This planner exists because I was tired of pretending my energy worked in straight lines.
Some weeks I’m clear and focused.
Other weeks I’m mentally loud, emotionally full or simply tired in a way no checklist fixes.
Most planners made me feel like I was failing something that was never designed for how I actually live.
So I made my own.
Why this planner exists
I needed a way to plan that didn’t ask me to override myself.
Not a system built on discipline.
Not another tool telling me what I should be able to do.
I wanted something that would help me notice:
- when my energy is high
- when it drops
- what pulls from me
- what quietly gives back
This planner came out of that need. Slowly. Honestly.
What it is
The Weekly Energy & Focus Planner is a gentle weekly structure that helps you plan with your energy instead of against it.
It is:
- simple
- flexible
- printable
- non-punitive
There are no productivity slogans.
No pressure to optimize yourself.
No pretending every week looks the same.
How I use it
At the start of the week, I check in with myself instead of jumping straight into tasks.
I ask:
- How does my energy feel right now?
- What actually deserves my focus this week?
- Where do I need softness instead of structure?
Some weeks, the planner fills up.
Some weeks, it stays almost empty.
Both are allowed. That’s the point.
Who this planner is for
This planner might be for you if:
- your energy fluctuates
- rigid systems exhaust you
- you think deeply and feel a lot
- you’re tired of turning low energy weeks into self-criticism
- you want structure without self-betrayal
It’s especially supportive if you live mostly in your head and forget to listen to your body until it protests.
What it gives you
Not motivation.
Not discipline.
It gives you permission to plan honestly.
To stop forcing weeks that don’t want to be forced.
To stop measuring yourself against versions of productivity that ignore being human.
Where to find it
A small note from me
This planner is not meant to fix you.
It’s meant to sit beside you while you learn to listen to yourself more clearly.
Week by week. Without pressure.
It’s my first creation like this and it was made with care.
Even When We Pretend We Don’t
A reflection on inner seasons and the quiet rhythms we move through even when life asks us to stay linear.
I’ve realised something about myself that I used to deny. I don’t move in a straight emotional line. I move in seasons and half the time, the season I’m in has nothing to do with the calendar. My mind can be in August while my body behaves like it’s mid-February. A bit chaotic but at least I’m consistent in my inconsistency.
Spring is basically my soft reboot. The moment the sun hits my window for longer than eight minutes, I suddenly think I’m a new woman. I clean things I’ve ignored for months, I promise myself I’ll “start fresh” and I convince myself that this time I’ll keep my life organised. Psychologically, spring is your brain thawing out. That weird burst of energy? Normal. The sudden urge to fix your entire existence in one afternoon? Also normal… just rarely successful.
Summer is when everyone expects you to be radiant, energetic and social. Meanwhile, some of us are just trying not to melt emotionally and physically. Summer exposes everything winter quietly covered with a cosy blanket. Your routines fall apart, your sleep schedule goes on vacation and your brain says “let’s do everything!” and “let’s do nothing!” at the same time. Expansion feels good but it’s also exhausting, like trying to live your best life while negotiating with your own sweat glands.
Autumn is my favourite emotional season. It’s when life finally stops screaming and starts using its indoor voice. Everything slows down. You start thinking deeper, noticing more and strangely craving soup even if you weren’t a “soup person” before. Psychologically, autumn is the season of integration. You’re processing things you didn’t have time for when summer kept pulling you in twelve directions.
Winter is honesty season. No fluff, no filters. Just you, your thoughts and a strong desire to hibernate for three months. Winter gets a bad reputation but actually it’s the season where you understand yourself the most. Your brain enters repair mode. You rest more (or feel guilty for not resting enough), you reflect without meaning to and occasionally you consider moving somewhere sunny… until you remember your budget.
The funny part? You’ll cycle through all of these states many times in one year, emotionally, mentally and sometimes weekly. The body has its logic. The mind has its mood swings. And life has a sense of humour.
So the next time you feel like you’re “not yourself”, maybe you’re just in an inner season you haven’t named yet. We’re seasonal creatures trying to live like machines. And it’s okay to move in cycles which make us very human.
If you enjoy exploring your inner seasons, the Timeless Weekly Planner gives you space to follow your rhythm all year round.
