Creative Energy Check-In (Free)
Most planners tell you what to do. This one asks how you are.
The Creative Energy Check-In is a single-page PDF — a 5-minute weekly reset that helps you:
- Gauge your energy honestly (not how productive you were, how charged you are)
- Name what's draining you so you can contain it
- Identify what's fueling you right now
- Protect one thing that matters this week
- Find your real deep-work window
It's the gateway to the full Creative Desk Kit — or just a quiet tool on its own.
Format: Instant PDF download · print-ready · GoodNotes / Notability friendly · free.
