Taskling
Free weekly planner template and how to use it
This weekly planner template takes about fifteen minutes once a week. Look back briefly, write down fixed commitments, choose up to three goals for the week, and spread tasks loosely across the days with room to move.
- A short look back makes the plan more realistic.
- Fixed commitments go in first, flexible tasks around them.
- Leave at least one day light on purpose.
The template
- Last week: one win, one thing that slipped.
- Fixed this week: appointments, deadlines, shifts.
- Three goals: what would make the week feel good.
- Monday to Sunday: two or three tasks per day, max.
- Buffer day: one light day for catch up.
- Someday: tasks that can wait.
Fifteen minutes on Sunday
Pick a regular moment, for example Sunday evening after a short Sunday reset. Look back first: one win and one thing that slipped. That small review keeps next week honest. Then enter fixed commitments, choose three goals, and spread tasks across the days.
Keep it loose
A weekly plan is a sketch, not a contract. Give each day two or three tasks at most, and leave one day light as a buffer. When something moves, move it to the buffer day instead of rewriting the whole week. Our guide to how to plan your week has more detail.
Use the week strip on Taskling's Today screen to drop tasks onto days, and let unfinished tasks roll forward to the next day by themselves. See the visual daily planner.
