Weekly Capacity Planner | 4-Page Energy & Priority Planning Tool
A calendar can show you how many hours you have.
It cannot tell you how much energy you will have for those hours.
Some weeks include experiments, meetings, deadlines, caregiving, commuting, recovery, and unexpected problems—all competing for the same limited capacity.
The Weekly Capacity Planner is a 4-page printable planning tool designed to help graduate students, postdocs, researchers, and busy professionals plan around actual energy, priorities, and recovery—not just open space on a calendar.
Instead of filling every available hour, use the planner to decide what truly matters this week, what kind of energy different tasks require, where recovery needs to fit, and what can reasonably wait.
What's Inside — 4 Pages
1. Weekly Capacity Check
2. Priority & Energy Map
3. Realistic Weekly Plan
4. Recovery, Boundaries & Reset
Use it for research planning, deadline-heavy weeks, teaching periods, caregiving seasons, project pushes, recovery periods, or anytime your traditional to-do list keeps asking more from you than the week can realistically hold.
Digital download only. No physical item will be shipped.
You will receive a 4-page printable PDF available for download after purchase. Colors and print quality may vary depending on your printer, paper, and screen settings.
