The system to run your life

Turn your dreams into non-negotiable minimum standards.

LifeWorks connects what matters to you with what you do every day. Your pillars, goals and expected results live on one board, today's actions and habits wait on your dashboard, and Focus walks you through them one at a time.

Good morning, Ana.

Execution Planning Knowledge Alignment Mindset
The LifeWorks dashboard on a sample morning: the clock, a greeting, the chips for today's actions, habits, Day Plan and Day Close, and the five sections.
The dashboard

Your whole day on one screen.

It's the screen you land on: the time, a greeting and a mountain scene that changes with the hour and follows your light or dark theme. The chips along the top open today's actions, your habits, your calendar and your clocks.

  • Today's actions, each showing the pillar, goal and expected result it serves
  • Today's habits, with their streaks and reminders
  • Your Google or Outlook calendar, the weather and clocks for other cities
  • Quick notes, a daily quote and your own mantras
Actions: 1 of 5 done today. Now: Draft the launch plan.

Focus

One action at a time, with the timer on your side.

Focus puts the action you're working on in the middle of the screen, with a Pomodoro timer. Up next lists the rest of today's actions at the time each would start, planned around your calendar events, and today's habits have a tab of their own.

  • Pomodoro sessions with your own work and break lengths
  • Drag Up next into the order you want
  • The time you focused today, counted as you work
  • Memento Mori: rings showing how much of the year, the month, the week and the day has gone by

Pillars

What you do today, tied to what truly matters.

Name up to ten pillars: the areas of your life you won't neglect. Each pillar holds up to three goals, and each goal up to three expected results you can measure. The board draws the chain, and every action on your dashboard shows where it leads.

  1. Pillar Health
  2. Goal Run a half marathon
  3. Expected result Run three times a week
  4. Today's action Book the physio
Health Active

The energy I have for everything else: training, sleep and food.

Reflection

Plan the morning. Close the night.

Two short rituals bookend the day, each opened from a chip on the dashboard, and a longer review closes each week, month, quarter, half-year and year. Everything you write is kept, and you can read it back.

Day Plan: done, woke at 06:40 Day Close: half done, 1 of 3 answered
The dashboard's Day Plan and Day Close chips on a sample day.

Day Plan

The time you woke up, a guided meditation, your intention for the day, what could get in the way, and a quick scrum of today's actions.

Day Close

Three questions: what you're grateful for, what you could have done better, and the first thing you'll do tomorrow.

Weekly to yearly reviews

The Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Midyear and Yearly Reviews ask what you achieved, what to improve, how your goals and pillars moved, how the plan went and what comes next, beside the period's completed actions, habit check-ins and the plan you wrote last time.

Your history

Every review you complete, from a single day to a whole year, kept to read back whenever you want.

Knowledge

A vault for what you learn.

Keep your notes, books, media and courses in one place, track how far along you are with each, and tag them so they're easy to find again. Labs gather them around a question or a project.

Ideas Two mornings without meetings

My best weeks had two full mornings with no meetings. Block Tuesday and Thursday.

The method

Five proven methods, built into one flow.

You don't need to know any of them. Each one shaped part of LifeWorks, so you get the benefit just by using it.

01

PARA

Projects and a knowledge vault give everything you capture a place and a reason to exist.

02

GTD

Every action has a do date, and Focus always shows you the next one.

03

Atomic Habits

Small daily habits, tied to your pillars, with streaks that show your consistency.

04

Bullet Journal

A Day Plan each morning and a Day Close each night: you write little, and it shapes the next day.

05

Mindfulness

Pomodoro breaks, a guided morning meditation and Memento Mori keep you present.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know PARA, GTD or Atomic Habits?

No. Their ideas are built into the screens: you name your pillars, plan today's actions and check off your habits. The methods stay in the background.

How much time does it take each day?

A few minutes for the Day Plan in the morning and the Day Close at night. Everything else happens while you work, in Focus.

Can I cancel or change plans?

Yes, from your account, at any time.

Does it work with my calendar?

Yes. Connect your Google or Outlook calendar and your events show up on the dashboard and in Focus, where Up next plans around them.

Can I use it with my team?

Yes. Besides your personal account you can work in shared accounts, with their own projects and actions. Your pillars, habits and reflections stay in your personal account.

Which languages does it speak?

English, Spanish, French and Brazilian Portuguese. You can switch at any time from the language menu.

In twelve weeks you'll have moved forward, or you'll know exactly why not.
