Joy
Rest, media, and travel, treated as things worth scheduling rather than what is left over once everything else has taken its slot.
Joy is the area most likely to be squeezed out, because nothing in it has a deadline. Adding it means leisure competes for time alongside work and training rather than waiting for a gap that never comes.
The page leads with Joy's part of this week's plan, what is coming up and how last week went. Your Media library and Travel sit under On file, and the page has two planners, Joy and Travel.
Your joy profile
The profile holds the things you reliably enjoy, along with weekly targets for how much of them you want. This matters more than it sounds. Without it the planner is guessing at what counts as rest for you, and rest is not the same thing for everyone.
The Joy planner reads your targets when it drafts the week, so an area with a target of two evenings behaves differently from one with a target of five.
Media library
A library of the books, films, shows, music, podcasts and newsletters you are working through.
Titles carry a status: Reading and Read for books, Watching and Watched for films and shows, Rotation and Regular for the things you come back to, Queue for what is next, and Favourite for the ones that earned it. View it as a gallery, as shelves grouped by status, or as a table, depending on whether you are browsing or maintaining.
When asambl recommends a title in a plan and you want to think about it properly, journal about it opens a note for that title alone, so your thoughts on each book or film live in their own place rather than accumulating in one growing file.
Travel
A planner for trips, which are the one part of Joy that has hard dates and real consequences for the rest of your week. Trips are listed as upcoming, past, or on your wishlist.
Each trip holds its dates, destination, and status. A trip marked as an idea is deliberately not treated as a commitment, so a maybe never fences off a week you could still use.
Trips shape the week. A trip overlapping your Monday-to-Sunday planning week is read by every planner, not just Joy. Training plans around it, spending accounts for it, and the week is not drafted as though you were at home.
Schengen day counting. For trips to Schengen member countries, the Travel planner keeps an approximate count of your days against the 90-days-in-180 rule when it plans, so a booking does not quietly push you over.
What the planner does with it
Joy proposes into the week like any other area: leisure blocks, time for what is in your library, and preparation before a trip. It reads your targets, what you have actually done recently, and what is coming up. The Travel planner drafts a trip when you ask it on this page.
Pages you can turn on
Media library and Travel open from this page. In Settings, under General, the Sidebar list adds Media library, Travel and Joy profile to the command palette as pages of their own. Everything described above feeds your plan either way.
Where it lives
Joy keeps its notes as plain Markdown in your data folder: your joy profile, your media library, your trips, your current notes and a log of what you actually did. Plain Markdown, readable in any editor.
