Weekly planning

How asambl builds your week through a short conversational ritual that ends as real calendar events.

Your weekly plan in asambl is not a form to fill out. It is a short conversation, the weekly ritual, that turns a few honest answers into a sequenced week and then into real calendar events. Nothing is locked until you approve it, and you can edit the draft at any point. If AI is off, the ritual still organises your inputs into a structured plan.

The ritual runs as four moves.

1. Choose the parts of life that matter

At setup, and any time after, you turn on the life areas you want asambl to plan with you: Health, Finance, Relationships, Joy, and Mind. Life Planner is always on, so you always have a place for the week itself. Turn areas on when you are ready for them and off when they are not relevant. The plan only ever covers what you have chosen.

2. Run the week

When you are ready, you start the ritual with "Plan your week" and answer a few quick prompts:

  • Which week you are planning
  • Your energy going into it
  • What worked last week
  • Your capacity for the days ahead
  • Your top three priorities

These are short answers, not a wizard. They give asambl enough to draft a week that fits the reality you are in rather than an ideal one.

3. Review the draft, area by area

asambl drafts a sequenced week and shows it to you as one card per life area. Each card lists its suggested blocks and the reasoning behind them, so you can see why a block is there before you keep it. Alongside the cards sits a capacity ledger: planned hours, free time left, and any clashes it has spotted.

You accept the areas that fit and skip the ones that do not. As you do, the week rebalances live, so the ledger and the remaining blocks update around your decisions. Nothing here is committed yet.

4. It becomes your calendar

The blocks you accept land on your calendar as proposed events. You review them once more, make any final edits, and accept. At that point they become real events, colour-coded by life area and synced two-way with Google Calendar, so a change in either place stays in step.

The plan on your calendar

You stay in control

Across all four moves, you are the one approving. You can edit the draft, skip whole areas, or rerun the ritual. Your vault stays on your machine. When AI is on, only the prompt for that request goes to asambl's managed AI endpoint (hosted on Azure OpenAI), and it is not stored long-term. When AI is off, the ritual still takes your inputs and organises them into a structured plan you can put on your calendar.
