Getting started

week.monster is a weekly planner built around who you are being, not just what you need to do.

You start with a clean slate: no sample tasks, no streaks to delete.

Your first week​

  1. Name your identities. In Identity Studio, create the few identities that matter right now: Founder, Writer, Athlete, Parent. Give each one a color and an icon. Mark the ones you can't skip as Core.
  2. Add facets (optional). If an identity has distinct workstreams, give them facets, like Marathon Prep and Strength under Athlete.
  3. Capture. Open Quick Notes and type or dictate whatever is in your head. Don't sort it yet.
  4. Shape. Schedule each note to an identity and a day. For anything vague, use Unpack to break it into 2 to 6 concrete steps.
  5. Execute. Start a focus sprint from the task itself, or open The Café and pick one there.
  6. Reflect. Open Pulse. Carry unfinished work into next week, or release it.

Choose how much of your week to see​

  • Easy (default): your top 5 identities.
  • Let's Go: your top 6.
  • Full Plate: every active identity.

Start with Easy. You don't need to manage your whole life every week.

One habit worth learning​

Everywhere in week.monster, editing works the same way: double-click to edit, Enter to save, Escape to cancel. That applies to tasks, identities, facets and tags.
