The Wrong Manual Planner - A5 (Storm Grey)

For everyone who spent years trying to run on someone else's operating instructions. Turns out you just had the wrong manual all along.

The Wrong Manual Planner is a compact A5 version of our Day Planner Desk Pad — same structure, smaller footprint, so it travels with you instead of staying pinned to a desk.

What's on each page

Today's Focus — your core focus for today, front and centre.

Things For Tomorrow — potential distractions, parked so they stop interrupting today.

Simple Tasks — small tasks and quick wins, good for when energy or focus dips.

Today's Timebound Commitments — the things that can't be moved or forgotten, with a simple what/when format.

Focus Sprints — space for time-block planning: when, what, how long.

Larger Tasks — two boxes for the big things, each broken down into seven steps.

Notes — thoughts, ideas and achievements, all in one place.

And at the bottom — the reset strip

For when you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or losing focus. Three columns of micro-steps to reset your momentum: Regulate (Breathing Exercise / Drink Water / Move Your Body), Clear (Tidy Workspace / Reframe Thoughts / Gratitude), Restart (Small Next Step / Switch To A Small Task / Small Time Based Sprint).

50 pages. A5 (150x210mm). 90gsm paper. Cover design: a hand-lettered “...Turns out, I just had the wrong instruction manual all along” with a smiley face, on a storm grey cover.
