A Personal Day Planner for Work, Study and Family: Five Real Days

People ask me who Aimgod is for. The honest answer is: anyone with a day. A personal day planner is not a tool for one profession. The same short list works for client work, for a thesis, for a startup and for a family with two kids, because every one of those days has the same shape: a few things with a time, a few things without, and one or two that matter more than the rest.

Below are five real days from the demo. You can open any of them live and move things around. Nothing is saved, so break whatever you like.

A personal day planner, one list per life

Each day uses the same three ideas.

• Spheres. A colour for every part of life: Clients, Design, Health, Family. The row takes the colour of its sphere, so a glance at the list tells you what kind of day it is.
• A time in two taps. Tap the time and a ruler unfolds. Slide, let go, done. Tasks with a time go first, the rest keep the order you gave them.
• Steps. A task that is really three tasks gets subtasks, and the row shows 1/3 until it is done.

That is the whole system. The five days differ only in what goes into it.

Creative work: a designer's day

Three spheres do the work here: Clients, Design, Admin. The morning starts with a logo review for a client, the afternoon is a moodboard with three steps, and the lunch walk has a time of its own so it does not get eaten. Invoices sit at the bottom without a time. They will get one when the day shows a gap.

The compact view fits more rows on a laptop. The rest of the day is the same as in the full view.

Freelance: five clients, one short list

A freelancer's day is a day of switching. Aimgod does not fight that. It puts deep work first with a fixed time, then a discovery call, then a proposal broken into Scope, Timeline and Price. New business gets its own sphere, so at the end of the week the dashboard shows whether sales got any hours at all.

The main goal for now sits on the right: three retainers by December. It is there every morning, which is the point. See three horizons of planning for why a goal belongs next to the day.

A founder's week

Founders live in the week more than in the day, so this one is the week view. Workouts repeat on their own, sales calls have times, support replies and investor updates land where there is room. The weekend holds a family lunch and a bike ride, in their own colour, so they are as real as the Monday call.

Drag a task to another day and it moves. Open one and give it a sphere. The week is the same list, laid out seven times.

Study: lectures, an essay in steps, a shift at the café

A student's day is a mix of fixed slots and long tasks that never fit in one sitting. The lecture and the café shift have times. The essay is one task with steps, so "write 500 words" is a row you can finish today, and the rest waits without nagging. The gym with a friend is in the Body sphere, because a day without it is a worse day, and the colour makes that visible.

Family: school runs that repeat, shopping as steps

A parent's day is full of things that happen every day. The school run repeats on weekdays and is done before the list is even opened. Groceries and meal prep is one task with the shopping as steps, so the list stays short. The freelance hour has a star, because it is the one block that is only for her. The large text view is on here, which is what I use on a phone held at arm's length.

Which one is yours?

Probably two of them. Most people's days are a mix: some client work, some study, some family, some body. That is exactly why spheres exist. You do not need five apps for five parts of life. You need one list where each part has a colour, and a week view that shows whether the colours are in balance.

If you want to try, the demo at aimgod.com opens without an account. Tap a task, drag a time, give something a sphere. If it feels calm, why I built it this way explains the rest.

FAQ

Is Aimgod a personal day planner or a team tool?

A personal day planner first. Your day, your spheres, your goals. Shared spheres for small teams are on the roadmap, and the week view already works well for planning work with others.

Can I use one planner for work and personal life?

Yes, that is what spheres are for. Work, Health and Family each get a colour on the same list, and the day filters by sphere in one tap. The dashboard shows which spheres get your time.

Do I need the week view to plan my day?

No. Most days are planned in the day view with one short list. The week view is for the moments when you need to see the shape of the week: what repeats, what moved, and where the gaps are.
