How to Use Striving Planner
Striving Planner helps you plan your week around what truly matters — your values, not just your to-do list. Here's how each section works.
Mission
Your mission is the deepest aim of this season of your life. It's not a goal — it's your compass. Write it in your own words and revisit it weekly. A good mission answers: "What am I striving for right now, and why does it matter?" Your mission stays the same across weeks until you intentionally update it.
Vision (Cascading)
Your vision answers: who do you want to meet Allah as? Beyond the top-level vision, the Vision page lets you break it down per life category across 10-year, 3-year, and 1-year horizons. Each level is more concrete than the last — making your long-term aim actionable today.
Life Roles
Define your key life roles — Muslim, Husband, Father, Professional, etc. Each role has its own sub-mission and key responsibilities. Use this to balance commitments and ensure no role is neglected. Link each role to a life category to tie it back to your weekly tracking.
Sacred Six
These are your 6 non-negotiable weekly commitments — your hard lines. Think of them as the things you must do every single week, no excuses. Examples: pray on time, exercise 3x, read daily, quality family time. They stay the same week to week (they're templates). Each week, check them off as you complete them.
3 Big Rocks
Each week, pick the 3 wins that would make this week meaningful. Unlike Sacred Six (which repeat), Big Rocks change every week. They're your highest-leverage priorities — the things that, if you accomplish them, make everything else feel like a bonus. Write them on Saturday and track your progress through the week.
Striving Indicators
Indicators are measurable metrics that reflect your values. Each has a Target (ideal) and a Min OK (acceptable minimum). Enter your Actual value each week. The score shows green (met target), amber (above minimum), or red (below minimum). Track things like: prayers on time, exercise sessions, deep work hours, Quran pages, family hours.
Daily Execution
The daily view shows your day as hourly time blocks from 5am to 10pm, divided into Morning, Work, Evening (Family), and Night. Click any hour slot to add a task with a description, priority (P1-P4), and estimated minutes. Check tasks off as you complete them. This is where your weekly plan meets daily reality.
Weekly Template
Build the routine you want to repeat each week — fill your typical Saturday, Sunday, etc. on the Daily page. Click 'Save week as template' to capture it. The next week, click 'Apply template' to copy those tasks in. The template is a starting point — edit any day after applying.
Annual Goals
Your master list of yearly goals organized by life category. For each goal, set a target value and unit (e.g., 50 books) plus an optional frequency. Track quarterly progress (Q1-Q4) inline — the % shows total progress vs. your target.
Settings & Categories
In Settings, manage your life categories (like Worship, Family, Health, Work, Self, Impact). Each category has a color and an optional weekly hour target. You can reorder, rename, add, or remove categories. Your profile name and preferred language (English or Arabic) can also be updated here.
