I posted about this method, a hybrid of whiteboard + calendar where I add entries like post-its, and some connect over time, creating flows. Sharing the digital version.

The setup is a whiteboard split vertically by days and horizontally by lanes for anything I'm managing around work, life, etc. The point is to stay on top of everything I've got running at once, and see what needs my attention today, though it doubles as planning too.

It's simple, but it can get messy as things pile up.

I used it on a physical whiteboard for years, but travel made that impractical (and space limitations...), so I digitalised it. haftio.com

More curious if this aligns with other people's ways of juggling things.

Like a lot of people here, I take notes constantly across a bunch of areas - work, side projects, life stuff. Since I've had many things happening at the same time for a long while, I couldn't just use my diary, so to hold more detail I started using a whiteboard. I divided it vertically by days and horizontally by lanes, one per each area. There, I'd add notes every day on how each area is advancing, like a diary, and some would connect like a flow. (2nd pic)

So just by looking at the board, I can see all the active things I'm working on, what needs my attention that day, and note down what I've done. I do add notes on "future" dates as reminders / planning too. This is the system that's worked for me.

Started as a physical whiteboard I used for years, then I built a digital version when travelling made the whiteboard setup impractical, and to not be limited with space. (1st pic)

Sharing in case it's useful, but also curious how others here handle this: when your notes pile up across topics, how do you keep them separate but still with some sort of time continuity?

As a freelancer my work and life are very much intertwined... I imagine many are in the same situation. How do you juggle it all?
I tend to mainly use a diary and whiteboard (this is just a simplified example), plus a few other tools; what works for you?

Hi, maybe this helps others juggling multiple workstreams at once. Basically a vertical timeline with horizontal lanes per workstream.
Used to use a whiteboard, then excel was the only equivalent I could find, and ended up digitalising this setup - full disclosure.

Just a vertical timeline, with horizontal lanes for the different life/work areas I have going on. Helps me stay on top of things.

Hi All!

Building a visual planner to juggle work and life in one continuous view. You can see where things stand, what needs your attention, and what's coming up, instead of holding it all in your head.

Started as a physical whiteboard setup I used for years. Digitalised it when travel made the whiteboard impractical and nothing online matched.

Who it helps: people juggling many things at once, visual thinkers, ND brains.

Does this resonate with anyone?

Hi All! Sharing something I built for my own daily logging, to manage work and life in one space.

For years I tracked work and life on a physical whiteboard, using a vertical timeline, and horizontal lanes, one per area. Each morning I'd "look left," see everything I'm managing, where I left off, and identify what needs my attention today. I'd do that, and update daily as I go. Kind of a diary, planner and tracker at once.

When the whiteboard stopped being practical, decided to build it. Curious if this way of being on top of things resonates with others. Happy to hear thoughts!

Hi All! Quick build update!

Building a visual planner that helps you juggle work and life in one continuous view. So when you're juggling a lot, you can see where things stand, what needs your attention, and what's coming up, instead of holding it all in your head.

Bit of background: for years I used this setup on a physical whiteboard (vertical diary × horizontal lanes, one per area - example on 2nd pic). It gave me the full picture my paper diary couldn't. But work travel made the whiteboard impractical, and since I couldn't find anything that matched, I recently digitalised the setup.

Who I think it helps: people juggling many things in parallel, especially visual thinkers or anyone who benefits from the whole picture laid out (like me, nd).

Still early, so genuinely curious what people think: does this resonate, and who do you reckon the ideal user actually is? Keen to hear if you see a sharper angle I'm missing, and any general feedback.

The idea: basically a vertical planner divided by horizontal lanes, one per work or life area.

What it solves: Keeping work and personal stuff all in one view - especially when juggling a lot and it's hard to hold the full picture. With Haftio you can see at a glance where things stand, what needs your attention, and what's coming up - across every area.

Who is it for: People juggling many things at once, visual thinkers, neurodivergent brains - that benefit from seeing everything at once with context always visible.

Free to use, and early users keep free lifetime access whatever pricing comes later. Still early, desktop-only for now (mobile on the roadmap).

How I actually use it (for reference): I keep 5-6 lanes (or more) visible: work projects, appointments, reminders, ad-hoc life stuff. Each morning I "look left", see where each lane left off and decide what needs attention. Through the day I add entries as things move. Basically a digital version of the whiteboard I've used for years (pic 2), minus the wall.

Hi All!

Founder here, and a visual thinker who juggles a lot of work and life at once.

Looking for visual thinkers who benefit from organising things spatially, to test a small planning / tracking tool I built for keeping work and life stuff in one space.

The idea: basically a vertical planner divided by horizontal lanes, one per work or life area.

What it solves? Keeping work and personal stuff all in one view - especially when juggling a lot and it's hard to hold the full picture.
At a glance you can see where things stand, what needs your attention, and what's coming up - across every area at once.

Who is it for? People juggling many things at once, visual thinkers, neurodivergent brains (like mine) that benefit from seeing everything at once with context always visible.

Vs other competitor tool: Perhaps Notion, where you can build (and maintain) almost anything, but it can be daunting given the number of features and complexity of the system - this just works the moment you open it.

Pricing: Free for now. Early testers get to keep free lifetime access whatever pricing comes later.
In exchange, just honest feedback - what works, what's missing, what's confusing, and whether it actually helps with life management.

Who it's for: people juggling many things at once, visual thinkers, neurodivergent brains (like mine) that benefit from seeing everything at once while keeping context visible.

What it involves: test the product (free), ideally few days of continuous use, as I feel that's how you'd really get the benefit. Early testers keep free lifetime access whatever pricing comes later. In exchange, just honest feedback — what works, what's missing, what's confusing, and whether it actually helps with life management.

Still early and desktop-only for now (mobile on the roadmap).

How I actually use it: I have 5-6 lanes (or more) visible: work projects, appointments, reminders, ad-hoc life stuff. Each morning I open it and "look left", see what's been happening in each lane, where I left things off, and decide what needs attention today. Through the day I keep adding entries (notes of what I've done, reminders, upcoming things). Basically a digital version of the whiteboard I've used for years (pic 2), but with infinite space.

That said, this is just how I use it, but I'm pretty sure there are many angles, like planning ahead and iterating as you go.

I basically use a large whiteboard divided vertically by days, horizontally by different work and life topics (second pic, first one is just a cleaner version). Helps me juggle multiple things, keep track of what's happening and also plan ahead.

Hi All! ADHD founder here.

Looking for people who benefit from visuals to test a small planning / tracking tool I built for my day to day juggling of work and life in one space.

It's basically a vertical planner divided horizontally by lanes, one per thing I need to track (mostly work and some life admin). Helps me keeps context visible all the time, and I can see everything at once.

Background: for years I used this setup on a large whiteboard alongside my paper planner to stay on top of all the things I need to juggle. Work travels made the whiteboard set up not very practical, and nothing I tried online fully clicked, so ended up relying on excel... which also wasn't ideal... So I built a small digital version, curious whether this shape and way resonates with others.

What you'd do: test the product (free). Share initial thoughts, what works, what's missing, whether it helps on daily life. And optional, would be great if also shared details about your current setup.

Reciprocity: testers will keep free access whatever pricing exists later.

My planning method for my day to day... kind of a complement/substitute for my diary.
It's a vertical planner divided horizontally by different areas.
I use it to keep context visible and stay on top of many things at the same time.
This is just a clean representation of my whiteboard, which is what I actually use daily 😅

So I've always used a whiteboard to be on top of my work and life stuff at the same time.

Basically a vertical planner with horizontal lanes for each area... I am able to keep context and not needing to juggle in my brain.

The second pic is just a digital version I recently made of this setup. Curious if this resonates with anyone else?
