Activity plan, one week
A week on one landscape page. For each plan, what you’ll do, the smallest version, and when, then how it went, with enjoyment and accomplishment from 0 to 100 and room for a note. The back explains each part and what to try when a plan doesn’t happen.
What matters to me
The five areas of life, each with an example, and room to write what matters to you in any of them. The back lists the 83 values from the Personal Values Card Sort, if you need words for it.
