The System

Six parts. One system.

Whichever format you use — the printed books or the Google Sheet — Clarity Board breaks your work down into the same six parts. Fill them in on paper or on screen; the method doesn't change.

1

Projects

Anything that takes more than one step. Track it by status — Doing, Waiting, Parked, or Done — so nothing active gets lost and nothing paused gets forgotten.

2

Admin

A running list for smaller tasks and calls that don't need their own project — the stuff that's easy to lose track of otherwise.

3

Goals

The bigger outcomes you're working toward, kept visible and separate from your day-to-day task list.

4

Deadlines

One place for the fixed dates that cannot be missed, so they're never buried in a project note or a random task line.

5

Calendar

Moves you from "what am I doing" to "when am I doing it" — block out your actual week by type of work, hour by hour.

6

Time Budget

A simple review of where your time actually went, by project and category, so you can adjust before next week instead of after.

Now Pick a Format

Same system. Your choice of format.
