The 2027 Planner

See through the noise.

The planner for decisions worth thinking through.

A5 dated wire-o-bound planner

What it is

Most planners hold your schedule. This one holds what you notice.

How the practice works

1

Catch it

Write down whatever makes you look twice: a number that did not fit, a comment that stayed with you, a person who went unusually quiet. It takes ten seconds.

2

Sort it into four colours

Give each note one of four colours, so you can see at a glance what deserves your attention.

SignalSeen it, and it matters. Track it, use it.
NoiseSeen it, but it doesn't move the decision. Let it go.
Park ItNew and unclear. Set it aside, then bring it back.
Check ItNew, and you can't tell yet. Ask someone or look into it further.
3

Return to it

Look back over your notes on a steady rhythm. Patterns appear, and a view takes shape that you could defend out loud.

Every week Every month Every quarter
A week inside the planner: a column for each day, to-dos, and the Clarity Pause at the end of the week.

Why it helps

You already notice more than you use.

The problem is not a lack of information. It is two things. There is so much of it that what matters gets buried. And what matters rarely arrives at a good moment. It turns up while you are busy with something else, and it is gone by the end of the day.

The planner gives it somewhere to go. One page holds several decisions at once, so a strategy question, a partnership and a career move can sit side by side without blurring.

10 sec

to catch a thought and write it down.

10 min

of quiet time for the weekly review.

1 page

holds several decisions at once, without blurring.

It will not ask you to do more. It asks you to lose less of what you already noticed.

Why paper

Paper slows you down just enough.

You can catch a thought with a voice note, or hand it to AI in seconds. It gets captured, sorted and summarised before you have really looked at it. That is the problem.

When you write by hand, you choose the words, and the choosing is where you notice what matters. Each spread shows you the whole week at once, so patterns appear without searching. And paper does not suggest, autocomplete or reply.

When you do want a second opinion, photograph the page and bring it to your AI. The planner shows you how.

Who it is for

Anyone carrying a decision worth getting right.

Leaders, strategists and founders, and anyone facing:

A strategy project A market you might enter A partnership you are unsure about A career move A year where something has to change

If you are experienced

It slows down the sorting you already do by instinct, so you can see it.

If you are earlier in your career

It builds the pattern library you will rely on later.

Who it is not for

Routine planning. If your week is mostly meetings and deadlines, an ordinary diary will serve you better.

The illustrations and the reflections woven through the year draw on Japanese thinking about space, seasons and pause. 

About the author

“I’ve spent 25 years in strategy and corporate venturing across the US, Europe and Japan, deciding which ideas deserve investment and which deserve a pause.

I made this planner because good judgement doesn’t come from more analysis, especially in the age of AI. It comes from noticing what you are actually paying attention to.”

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is the planner dated?

Yes. It runs from January to December 2027, and each spread shows you the whole week at once.

What if I start later in the year?

Start with the week you are in. Nothing has to be done daily for it to work: catch what you notice, and come back to it in your weekly review.

Do I need to use AI with it?

No. The planner works on paper alone. When you do want a second opinion, photograph the page and bring it to your AI. The planner shows you how.

Is it right for me?

It is made for leaders, strategists and founders, and anyone carrying a decision worth getting right. If your week is mostly meetings and deadlines, an ordinary diary will serve you better.
