Weekly planner template
A weekly planner as a board: This Week, Monday to Friday, and Done. Put everything the week holds in This Week, then drag each task onto the day you'll do it. When a day gets too full, you can see it, and moving a task to Thursday is one drag.

The 7 columns
What each one is for. Rename, reorder or add columns whenever the work needs it.
- This Week
- Everything you want done this week that doesn't have a day yet.
- Monday
- What you'll do on Monday. Put the most important task at the top.
- Tuesday
- The same for each day. Keep it to what fits in the day.
- Wednesday
- Leave room in the middle of the week for what comes up.
- Thursday
- Finish what's started this week before adding anything new.
- Friday
- A good day for the weekly review and planning next week.
- Donecounts as done
- Finished. Counts as done. Archive it before you plan the next week.
Plan your week in 15 minutes
A short routine for the end of each week, or first thing on Monday.
Look back
- Archive everything in Done
- Move anything left on the weekdays back to This Week
- Ask why it was left: too big, too vague, or not important after all?
Collect
- Add everything on your mind for next week as cards in This Week
- Check your calendar for meetings, deadlines and travel
- Check Focus for anything due or overdue on your other boards
Plan
- Pick the 3 tasks that matter most this week, and give each a day
- Fill each day around the meetings already in it, leaving some time free
- Drop or move what doesn't fit, rather than squeezing it in
Each morning
- Check today's column and put the most important task at the top
- Move anything that won't happen today to another day, now, not tonight
How to use the weekly planner
-
Step 1
Empty your head into This Week
Everything you want done this week, one card each. Don't decide days yet.
-
Step 2
Give the important tasks a day first
Drag your 3 most important tasks onto days, then fill around them. A day with 4 or 5 cards is usually full.
-
Step 3
Time-block if you like
To block out time, put it in the card title, like "9 to 11: draft the proposal", and order the day's cards by time. The board has no calendar grid, so the order is the plan.
-
Step 4
Move tasks, don't carry them
When a task won't happen today, drag it to the day it will. If it's moved twice, it probably needs splitting or dropping.
-
Step 5
Review on Friday
Use the checklist above. It takes 15 minutes and makes Monday easier.
With your AI agents
An agent can help you plan the week: gather what's due across your boards, suggest a day for each task, and move cards when your plans change.
Agents connect over MCP or the REST API, on every plan, and act as you.

Keep it working
- Plan fewer tasks than you think you can do. Something always comes up.
- Weekends: add a Weekend column before Done if you plan your weekends too.
- Use priorities for the few tasks that really can't slip, so they stand out in each day.
- Keep the same board week after week. Archived cards stay searchable, so last week's work is easy to find.
Questions

Can I print it?

Can I use it as a time blocking template?
Yes, in a simple way: write the time in each card's title and order the day's cards by time. There's no hourly grid.
