Free Dream Life Planner (+ Ideal Week Template)

What is a dream life planner?

A dream life planner helps you describe the life you want in concrete terms: how you spend your week, where you live, what it costs and what you have to change to get there.

Most dream life exercises stop at a vision. This one ends with a calendar and a first step for this week.

The 7 freedoms

The planner is built on my 7 freedoms, the parts of a life you design on your own terms:

Read more about each one: financial freedom, time freedom, location freedom, mental freedom, physical freedom, creative freedom and social freedom.

How to plan your dream life

The radar beside the planner grows from today's scores to your dream as you go, so you can see the life you're designing take shape.

The ideal week template

Your dream week is an ideal week: the week you'd repeat if every week went to plan. Start from a template and make it yours:

• The creator week – mornings for creating, calls in the afternoon, weekends for hikes and friends
• The founder week – a day for the team, days to build, an open day for meetings and a Friday for planning
• The location-free week – 4 days of focused work and a long weekend for a Freedom Trip
• My week – closed mornings for deep work, calls only after noon, 60 minutes of movement every day

Each kind of block serves one freedom and takes its color:

Email and admin serve no freedom, which makes them the first hours to win back.

When it's done, add the dream week to your calendar as a repeating week for the next 90 days.

The dream life calculator

What does your dream life cost? Pick where you'd live, and the calculator fills in a month of living costs for one person from my digital nomad locations data, in your currency.

Then add what your dream adds: travel, health, help, tools, insurance, saving and what you love doing.

You see the monthly cost, the cost with a buffer, and the income it takes per month, per day and per hour of work in your dream week. Add what you make today to see how close you are.

Find the gap, then automate it

The gap is the difference between your week today and your dream week. For each thing you'd do less of, pick 1 of 3 moves:

• Automate it with AI – email, scheduling, research and reports, run by an AI system
• Hand it off – to an assistant, a freelancer or your team
• Drop it – most of what fills a week doesn't need doing at all

That's how I think about it: use AI to automate your business, so you can design a life of freedom on your own terms.

The example is my own: my 7 freedom scores, my week from my Now page, and a month in Da Nang. I've been designing my life around freedom since 2013, and I've lived in 18+ countries.
