Cal Newport's Multi-Scale Planning System
About this template
For quite some time, I struggled to make Cal Newport's multi-scale planning a habit. I couldn't fully wrap my head around the different planning scales, and to me, the whole process of jumping back and forth between the individual plans involved too much friction.
Then, I decided to gather all the information I could get my hands on and condensed it into a Notion system. This has helped me tremendously to finally make planning on multiple scales a habit.
The template includes the following:
- A designated page for the values plan, 10-year-plan, quarterly plan, weekly plan and daily plan, which features a short guide on how to conduct the plan as well as blocks synced between the pages (e.g. you can view the weekly plan directly from within the daily plan page).
- A task storage system which features different task statuses like "Waiting" or "To Discuss" and roles, as well as a guide on how to use it.
- A starting page featuring all of the core documents as well as all the guides.
When helpful for further information, I included a link to the relevant videos and blog posts.
If you like this template, I would be very thankful for a positive review! Likewise, if you have any feedback on how I might be able to improve it, don't hesitate to contact me!
