I hear you: you've got your todo list.

now think about opening it

feeling overwhelmed? (be honest)

Here's a solution.

Leave last week's baggage behind.

Start fresh each week.

carpe
diem weekem.

or copy the example markdown below

Feeling less overwhelmed now?

Good.

Come back next week to start again.

or have it emailed weekly:

No ads, no spam, no bullshit. Just a clean slate each week.

This will look better in a markdown editor

  • I’m going to list my yearly and weekly goals.
  • I’ll start a new doc each week, the old stuff will still be around if I need it.

Still wondering what this is?

It's just a markdown (fancy text) template file. Your blueprint to start the week.

Each Monday morning open a new weekly file in your favorite markdown editor.

(and archive last week's file)

This tool is just to make the starting-a-new-file part easier.

I hope you find this system as helpful as I have.

Is this for you?

  • You want to get more done and feel less overwhelmed.
  • You want a free and open solution that can't hold your data hostage.

    (It's just a file)

  • You don't want to be locked into a specific app, system, or company.

    (It's just a file)

  • You want flexibility that works for you, forever.

    (It's just a file)

  • You prefer a solution that works on any platform or device.
