The Day of the Week and Date sections are an easy way to use your planner as a journal and record of your performance and activities. 

The Top Priorities section prompts you to focus on outcomes over activities, so you can clarify what is most important for you to accomplish that day. It sets you up to achieve three attainable wins no matter how chaotic your day may become.

Longevity prompts you to practice five key habits that studies have shown are likely to help you improve longevity, retain cognitive performance, and achieve a happier and healthier life. Move reminds you to get at least some exercise every day in whatever way works for you. It also leaves the amount up to you, but creates a daily win and a habit you can build on. Floss reminds you to floss your teeth at least once per day, which studies show not only improves oral health but also may help reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline or dementia. Eat Vegetables is another attainable win that sets up a habit of eating nutritious fuel for your body. Read or Reflect prompts you to take a few minutes for your mental health, to lose yourself in a story or learning something, journal, or just center yourself and breathe. Connect with Friend or Family reminds you that studies show that people who maintain close, positive relationships with friends, family, or other groups have fewer health problems, live longer, and experience less depression and cognitive decline later in life.

Schedule allows you to list appointments or activities that are on your calendar for the day. The write-in times give you flexibility to use whatever increments you prefer to schedule your time. To-Do List allows you to record non-priority activities you hope to fit in, even if your day develops unexpectedly and you have to focus on completing your top three priorities. Personal Tasks sets space for you to note items that might become distracting thoughts as you try to complete your other work lists for the day, so you don't forget to pick up groceries, water your fern, or get your dog those special treats.

Deliberate Practice is what studies show is necessary for you to develop expertise in something. It involves focused and specific effort in both Existing Skill Improvement (something you want to do better, even if you already do it well) and New Skill Practice to extend the reach and range of your skills.

A glimmer is a moment where you experience a sense of joy or well-being, like the smell of coffee brewing, a hug from a loved one, or hearing a favorite song. Today's Glimmer prompts you to look for glimmers daily. The more you look for them, the more will appear to you, which positively impacts your wellbeing and mental health.

Finally, For Tomorrow allows you to note items you might not be able to complete that day, but want to remember to do after you complete your day and get the rest and relaxation you need to recharge for your next day of productivity.
