The week begins
with a draft,
not a blank page.

asambl's Weekly Planner drafts your week ahead, then hands it back for you to edit.

Built from your priorities, your calendar, your energy, and what's carrying over from last week. The time blocks sync to your calendar so the plan lives in your week, not in a document.

02·The Sunday-night problem

Most weeks don't start.
They restart.

You sit down Sunday evening to plan the week and you're staring at a blank page.

Last week's unfinished work has vanished. The priorities you scribbled down on a notes app somewhere are buried. So you start over, listing tasks you half-remember, hoping the right shape will appear. The problem isn't that you don't have a planning system. It's that the planning system starts from zero every week.

A typical reactive week

MTWTFSS

Last week's unfinished work is gone. The priorities you scribbled down somewhere are buried. By Thursday the week has run you, not the other way around.

03·What it is

The Weekly Planner is asambl's planning layer.

It draws on what's already in your week and drafts a full week ahead before the next one begins.

Your priorities. Your calendar. Your last plan. Your current energy and workload. Six sources of context, woven into one coherent week.

i

Drafts a full week, not a checklist

Sequenced time blocks across work, training, relationships, finance, and admin. Not a flat list of tasks.


ii

Adapts to the week you actually have

Energy low? Budget tight? Travelling? The plan flexes around your real state instead of forcing one rigid template onto every week.


iii

Lives in your calendar

Once you accept the draft, the time blocks become real Google Calendar events, color-coded by life area. The plan stops being a document and starts being your week.

04·The planning loop

How a week with asambl
actually works.

The same shape every time: name what matters, draft a full week, edit it back into something you'll actually run.

Step 01

Tell asambl what the week needs to be about

In a short review, you set your three top priorities for the week, mark the available time slots, and flag anything specific (a travel day, a deload week, a tight budget). asambl pulls in last week's plan and your current calendar automatically.

Step 02

asambl drafts a full week shaped to your context

Working from your priorities, your life-area context, and the state you're actually in, asambl drafts a complete week with sequenced time blocks across work, training, relationships, and admin.

PrioritiesCalendarLast weekLife area filesPlanningloopWEEK PLAN

Life area files include things like training logs, key social dates, money rules, and goals you're working on.

Step 03

Review the draft. Edit what doesn't fit

The draft is a starting point, not a verdict. Cut, move, or rewrite anything before you commit. Your judgment stays in charge. The AI never overrides what you decide.

Health & Wellness

Return week. Three sessions, moderate intensity. Push, Pull, and Legs across evenings and Saturday morning. Volume reduced 10 to 15 percent from last block.

Work / Ship

Two ship blocks: PRD draft on Wednesday, product page copy on Friday. No long blocks before Tuesday, so the week gets a soft start.

Connection

One quality block on Saturday evening. Cook together at home (low cost, low pressure). Travel planning conversation slipped in over coffee Sunday morning.

Finance

Tight mode this week. Short money review on Friday morning, no new commitments. Travel budget capped, meal prep over takeout.

Mind & Growth

Daily morning reading, 20 minutes. One culture pick at the weekend. A light week, since recovery from last block matters more than new input.

06·Context, not surveillance

What asambl knows
when it drafts your week.

A richer picture than a calendar app or a to-do list has access to.

It knows what you want this week to be about. It knows what didn't get done last week. It knows whether you're in a recovery week or a builder week. It uses that picture to draft a plan that actually fits, then hands it back for you to decide.

  • Your top three priorities for the week
  • What's still carrying over from last week
  • Your current energy and workload state
  • Your available time blocks and existing calendar
  • The goals you've set for each life area
  • The constraints you've named (travel, recovery, tight budget)

07·Built for

People who already know how to plan, and are tired of doing it from scratch every week.

People balancing serious work, training, relationships, finances, and a real life, all at the same time. People who want AI help drafting the week, but who keep the editing and the deciding for themselves.


Not a workout tracker, a project management tool, or a fully autonomous scheduler. asambl helps you plan; you stay in charge of the week.

08·The conductor

The Weekly Planner
doesn't plan in a vacuum.

It pulls context from each of asambl's 5 life area modules and weaves them into one coherent week.

Your training consistency. Your monthly money review. Your relationships. Your joy and growth. Each one is a module on its own. The Weekly Planner is the layer that brings them together.

09·Common questions

About the Weekly Planner.

01

How is this different from a calendar or a to-do list?

A calendar stores time. A to-do list stores tasks. The Weekly Planner shapes a week (sequenced blocks, real priorities, life area context) and only then writes the result back to your calendar.

02

What does asambl actually know about my week?

Your top priorities, your available time blocks, the life area goals you've set, what carried over from last week, and the energy and workload state you've named. Nothing more. No scraping, no surveillance.

03

Does my data leave my machine?

asambl never receives your data. Your vault is local. If you choose to use a cloud AI provider, only the prompts you send go to that provider, under your own API key.

04

Does it sync with Google Calendar?

Yes. Once you accept the draft, the time blocks become real events in Google Calendar, color-coded by life area. You can also export the week as .ics for any other calendar.

05

Can I edit the draft asambl produces?

Yes, and you should. The draft is a starting point. Cut, move, or rewrite anything before you accept it.

06

What if my week falls apart on Tuesday?

That's part of the loop. Next week's plan reads what actually happened (what got done, what didn't, what shifted) and drafts the next week from there. No fresh starts every week.

07

Do I have to use the AI?

No. The Weekly Planner is structured around a planning process. AI helps draft the starting point if you want it to, but the process works with or without it.
