Weekly planning

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. Drafting the week needs AI on; with AI off, asambl hands you a blank weekly template to fill in by hand instead.

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: Work and Career, Health, Finance, Relationships, Joy, and Growth. 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

Under the hood, a conductor hands each life area you turned on to its own specialist planner and runs them in parallel, so Health plans training while Finance plans spending at the same time. A conflict check then looks across all of them for clashing blocks and days that would leave you overloaded, and the conductor reconciles those into a single sequenced week. asambl drafts that 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, events you have already committed to that the plan works around, and any clashes it has spotted. The energy level you gave at intake feeds this too, so a low-energy week is drafted lighter than a high-energy one.

You accept the areas that fit, amend individual blocks whose timing or shape you want to change, 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. Weekly plans sit inside a longer quarterly rhythm that Life Planner holds; see Life areas for how the two connect.

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.

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, asambl won't draft the week for you; you get a blank weekly template to fill in by hand, and can switch AI back on whenever you want it drafted.
