The title page of The Low-Friction Life System, as it prints.

A planning system for people who keep having to start again: the day in three, and the nine things around it that a daily page does not reach.

What is in it

Low-friction planning; Today in three, twenty-four pages; Brain dump and sorting, with a parking lot; Time and transitions; Focus sprints and a body-double plan; Projects without overwhelm, with a waiting-for list; Home resets; Money and admin, with a bills landing pad; Weekly reset; Recovery and boundaries; Notes.

Why this rather than a free printable

Free brain dump sheets are everywhere, and they are genuinely useful: one site alone offers seventy-nine of them. What none of them offers is what happens next. A dump you never sort is a longer list, so this one carries the sorting and the parking lot on pages 36 to 43, for the things that are real but not today's problem.

The day is the part already covered by every free planner, and it is here too, on pages 11 to 34. It is not the reason to buy this. The reason is the pile that builds up around the day: the unopened post on pages 73 and 74, the project that stalled on pages 61 to 67 with its waiting-for list, the week that needs resetting on pages 76 to 83, and the day when very little is possible on pages 85 to 87.

Built to be restarted

Most planners punish a missed week with blank pages, and the blank pages are why people stop. Every page here is written to be picked up mid-year, mid-week or mid-mess, with no streak to break and no set-up to redo.

Format

98-page A4 PDF. Print the pages you need, or write on the file in a compatible annotation app. Working pages repeat so you can reprint them.

What it is not

It is an organisational planner. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment for any condition, and it does not claim to be suitable for one. The note on page 2 says so, and says where to take the questions it cannot answer.
