Personal Productivity System

Personal Productivity System — Tasks, projects, goals, notes, habits, a content calendar and a weekly review — as 7 importable CSV databases, two Markdown pages and a printable build guide.

A complete personal productivity system supplied as ordinary files rather than as a hosted template: 7 CSV databases plus a build guide, to import into whatever you already use. Any app that reads a CSV turns each file into a table — a spreadsheet, a project tool, a note app, a database app — and the system works on paper too, which is why the printable sheets at the back are part of the pack rather than an afterthought. The 7 files cover tasks, projects, goals, notes, habits, a content calendar and a weekly review, with 57 realistic starter rows between them, and two Markdown files import as pages: a full build guide and a weekly review dashboard. No app is named anywhere in the pack, because naming one would be a dependency nobody can test. The printable PDF guide is the teaching layer, and it is honest about the one thing every CSV pack has to be honest about: a CSV carries text and nothing else, so every column arrives as plain text and you decide what each one has to do. The guide gives you a table per database saying exactly that, with a translation showing what each behaviour is called in a spreadsheet and what it is called in a database-style app, plus the import order and the reason it matters, how to link Tasks to Projects to Goals, the four views worth having and no more, a twenty-minute weekly review, a maintenance routine, and a page on what to do when the whole thing stops working — including permission to delete the parts you never open.

What's inside

• 7 IMPORTABLE CSV DATABASES: tasks (12 starter rows), projects (8 starter rows), goals (6 starter rows), notes (8 starter rows), habits (8 starter rows), content calendar (9 starter rows), weekly review (6 starter rows) — 57 realistic starter rows in total, so every view has something in it while you build it
• IMPORT THEM INTO WHATEVER YOU ALREADY USE: these are plain CSV files, not a hosted template. Any app that reads a CSV turns each file into a table — a spreadsheet, a project tool, a note app, a database app — with the first row becoming the column names. No app is named anywhere in this pack: naming one would be a dependency we do not control and cannot test. There is no share link, no account and nothing to sign into
• TWO MARKDOWN PAGES: SETUP.md, the full build guide, and dashboard.md, the weekly review dashboard with instructions for rebuilding each of its four blocks as a filtered view of a table you imported — both import as pages into an app that reads Markdown, and both open in any text editor
• PRINTABLE A4 GUIDE (PDF): the teaching layer, and the reason this pack is worth reading rather than just importing
• A COLUMN-BY-COLUMN TABLE FOR EVERY DATABASE: all 43 columns across the 7 databases, each with what it has to do after import and why — written as behaviour (the row name, a single choice from a short list, a real date, a link to a row in another table) and translated on its own page into what a spreadsheet calls it and what a database-style app calls it, because a CSV carries no type information and every column arrives as plain text
• THE IMPORT ORDER AND WHY IT MATTERS: goals, then projects, then tasks, because a link can only point at a table that already exists
• LINKING THE TABLES YOURSELF: step by step for Tasks to Projects to Goals, with the text columns left in place as a crib sheet — CSV import cannot carry a link between tables, so this is a job you do once after importing
• SUMMARIES, AND WHEN NOT TO BOTHER: the three worth adding and the two that only look useful
• THE FOUR VIEWS THAT MATTER: Today, This week as a board grouped by Status, Calendar, and Someday — with the filter and sort for each
• THE WEEKLY REVIEW: a nine-point ritual that takes twenty minutes, and the argument for why it is the system and everything else is filing
• KEEPING IT ALIVE: a maintenance routine from as-it-happens to quarterly, with what actually breaks if you skip each one
• WHEN IT STOPS WORKING: an honest page — an elaborate system fails faster than a simple one, which parts to delete first, and explicit permission to delete them
• WORKS ON PAPER TOO: the weekly review and a week-on-one-page as printable sheets, so the system still runs in a notebook — on the week you abandon the app, or if you never open one
• WHAT NEVER GOES IN THIS SYSTEM: no field anywhere in these 7 databases records a password, a PIN, a one-time code, a card security code or a security answer, and none should ever be added

How it works

The PDF guide walks you through step by step, with ready-to-use wording you can adapt. The included data files open in any spreadsheet and import into most note, task and database apps.
