The Playbooks
The Lazy Genius Tool to Making Your Planner Work Better for You
Compact, satisfying notebooks designed to help you see your season, prioritize what matters, and prepare, adjust, and notice with intention—so you can live a life that reflects what’s important to you in every season.
Peek Inside The Playbooks 👀
Inside, you’ll find questions (many adapted from The PLAN) that guide you to view each season and month through a Lazy Genius lens.
With sections to help you sort through projects, clarify priorities, and organize tasks, The Playbooks provide space to handle the bigger picture and details alike.
Use the weekly pages to assess what truly needs to get done now versus what can wait, then turn to your planner for daily scheduling. The Playbooks serve as a holding pen for what matters most.
And because it’s compact enough to tuck into your planner, it’s easy to keep nearby as your season unfolds.
This isn’t a planner—it’s designed to make your planner work better.

The Fall Playbook is September - November, and the Winter Playbook is December - February.
