What's Inside
Establish your purpose, not just for work but across all streams of your life. By giving each role you play a title (parent, entrepreneur, career role, mentor, etc), and setting actionable goals against each role, you anchor your priorities and set out the actions and reasons to focus on what you care about the most.
Identify your Roles
Set out the roles that define your life.
eg: Career Role, Parent, Partner, Entrepreneur, etc.
Establish Your "Why"
Establish your “whys” to clarify desire and stay committed
6 Month Goals
Set 6-month goals for each role to align personal/professional aspirations, track progress, and monitor accomplishments.
List Out Your Action Steps

Annual Key Dates

6 monthly spreads provide a holistic view of your monthly goals, schedules and reflections.

Offering compartmentalized spaces for tasks and priorities, appointments and schedules, food and fitness, daily habit and sleep tracking, shopping and “not-to-do” lists, the 30 weekly dashboards form the beating heart of the Purpose Planner. Planning your week in this manner does away with catch-all daily to-do lists and gives you so much more scope and scale to visualize what to focus on.

Quick Notes
Use this section to capture any notes, reminders, or doodles, and take a moment to rate your week with the 5 stars included.

Each weekly spread is followed up with two numbered blank dot grid pages to capture your notes, drawings or writing for that week. Offering a blend of both structured planning templates and free form note pages, the Purpose Planner also includes an additional 15 blank pages at the back of the notebook to supplement the 78 note pages within the planning sections.
Notes to Support Your Planning
Use the versatile dot grid note pages to create new tables and trackers, take notes to support your weekly or monthly planning or sketch up your art. Be as productive or creative as needed.
Numbered Pages
Numbered note pages tie back to the Notes Index so you are always in control of your notebook.
Use the templates provided to set out your reading and bucket list activities in advance. By doing so, you are much more likely to prepare effectively and block the time needed to make it happen.

“We are so grateful for this awesome tool to help our participants align more closely to their values.“
“I work at The Command Purpose Foundation, a 501-C3 non-profit that helps veteran women rediscover purpose after serving in the military. The purpose planner has enabled us to better support our participants as they apply for jobs, relocate, and navigate life's challenges more purposefully. We are so grateful for this awesome tool to help our participants align more closely to their values and give them the ability to chart out the next six months. This is by far the best holistic planner in the market!“
Courtney Campbell from PureWow.com
“The result is a handy planning tool that can better help you evaluate what’s most important to you.”
“Filled with motivational quotes, bucket lists, productivity tips and more, this planner goes above and beyond goal setting and scheduling. The Roterunner has a wellness twist, complete with space to enter in morning and night routines, habit trackers and self-care checklists. The result is a planning tool that helps you evaluate what’s most important to you as a human being—and how you should best spend your time.“
Dominique Pariso from NYMag.com
“It goes beyond being a planner, and is really a clarifying tool for understanding how you want to invest your time.”
Author and time-management coach Elizabeth Grace Saunders told us about this planner that combines the scheduling elements you’d want in a regular planner with the goal-setting elements you might look for in a journal. In addition to its gridded weekly (and month and year at-a-glance) pages, this has space for you to write down both your roles and goals as a partner, employee, and friend. It even invites you to track your daily habits according to different priorities, allowing users to tackle their goals in a more holistic way.
FAQ
What makes the Purpose Planner different?
The structure of the Purpose Planner centres around connectivity and holistic planning. Where most planners simply provide space for schedules and activity, the Purpose Planner goes several layers deeper, guiding you to set compartmentalised goals for the next 6 months and then connecting and tracking them across your life, to your learning, rewards, monthly projects and weekly tasks.
It is also laid out to flow the way we work with each month a self-contained section starting with the monthly spread, followed by 5 weekly dashboards separated by blank note pages.
A key feature behind the design is that you shouldn’t have to carry around a planner and a notebook. The Purpose Planner doubles up as both with 93 blank numbered, dot-grid note pages.
What is the size of the notebook?
The notebook is B5 (19x25cm and about 1cm thick). The size is in between A4 and A5.
We chose this size as it provides sufficient space to write without being too big and bulky. The soft cover makes it a little lighter, more flexible and more compact while the hardcover is for those that prefer a sturdier choice.
What is the best way to optimize the weekly dashboard?
The weekly planning spread is at the heart of the Purpose Planner and is designed to be a 1-stop strategy dashboard for the week ahead. We recommend setting out your priorities, daily habits and schedules for the week on a Sunday evening or Monday morning. What this does is give you clarity about your priorities and focuses you on the tasks, routines and relationships that move the needle in your life.
You will find yourself minimising “busy-work” while taking care of those annoying admin items that you typically procrastinate. The weekly dashboard also speaks to you. The sections that are left blank make you aware of the gaps in your life and it’s up to you to fill them in.

- CHCarson H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsYesterdayGreat Planner for Time Blocking and Weekly/Monthly/Daily Planning
I love that each day has a calendar section -- it's perfect for time blocking my day. The planner structure also enables "multi-scale planning" (Cal Newport planning style), with room for bi-annual, monthly, weekly, and daily plans. The structure helps me track what's most important for me to be working on in a given hour, and I've been using it for years!
- MMaddieVerified ReviewerRated 4 out of 5 stars1 week agoPotential is there
I am currently using the planner and have filled it out accordingly. I like it and I would recommend it, but I have suggestions for improvement (for my personal preferences that maybe other people would agree with). I think that in the actual week pages, there should be more day-space. I would prefer all of the “purpose” pieces (habit tracker, to buy, work & career, gratitude & health, etc.) should be smaller or put in the empty pages/space before the week so there’s more space to write details of the days during the week on the actual days. I would prefer to allow for more specificity as well as space for a more detailed to-do list for every day. But other than lack of “day” space, it is great!
Roterunner4 days agoDear Maddie,
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback on the Roterunner planner. It's fantastic to hear that you're finding value in using it and would recommend it to others.
Your suggestions for increasing the daily writing space and condensing the additional trackers are incredibly helpful. We designed the planner with a balance of structure and flexibility in mind, but we understand that some may prefer more open space for detailed daily planning.
Thank you for this valuable insight – it will be instrumental as we continue to refine and improve the Roterunner experience. Customer feedback like yours helps us create products that truly meet the needs of our community.
We're delighted that you're enjoying the planner overall and look forward to incorporating suggestions like these into future iterations. Your input is greatly appreciated, and we're grateful for your support.
- PMPhilip M.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoGreat Planner, but Disappointing Changes
As far as the usability of the planner, I would rate it 5 stars and highly recommend it, but successive design changes have been disappointing and I felt needed addressing. I bought my first Roterunner in 2022, and have since bought one every six months because of how practical and useful they are. However, some changes that have occurred over time have been very disappointing. First, I noticed the quality of paper decreased from a sturdy opaque stationary-quality to a thinner, printer paper-quality. Then, with successive editions, frustrating changes occurred such as the removal of the month name line on the month cover pages, removal of the day lines under the sleep tracker, and the changing of the day boxes on the monthly outline and the day of the week boxes in the “Gratitude and Health” section to circles. This last one was particularly frustrating, as the squares complimented the neat, organized nature of the planner, while the circles are much harder to cleanly fit the day letters and dates into. A few other changes have occurred too, which all make me struggle to understand why. So far, the best version of this planner was the one I bought in early 2022, and each successive change as seemed to be a downgrade. I plan to keep using these planners as they are very efficient, but would appreciate a return to the earlier quality and design as it was far superior.

- KMKrista M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoOn my fourth one!
I'm on my fourth one and I love it! The 6-month reviews are the perfect amount of time to allow you to reassess and readjust. It's also amazing to see how far I'd come - from "look for job" on a task list to "call movers, schedule with HR" at my new job in a new state! I looked at interviews, notes, everything and it seemed like a lifetime ago but just a few months. Plus, I love my task lists to check off!
Roterunner4 days agoDear Krista,
Thank you so much for your amazing review and for being such a loyal Roterunner customer! We're absolutely thrilled to hear how the planner has helped you track your progress and achieve incredible milestones like finding a new job in a new state. What an inspiring journey!
It's incredibly rewarding for us to know that the 6-month format and review process have been the perfect fit for your needs, allowing you to reassess and readjust as you go.

Thank you for being such a valued member of our community and for sharing your incredible success story. We're honored to be a part of your journey and can't wait to see what you'll achieve with your next Roterunner!
- BRBeth R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoRoterunner is the best planner I've ever had!
I got a Roterunner for Christmas and love it! I've already bought my planner for the 2nd half of the year. I love the layout, it's very adaptable and one of my favorite features is the way that the task lists are broken up into different areas of life (i.e. work, home, projects). I will never use another planner!
Roterunner1 month agoWow! This is wonderful to read! We absolutely love hearing how much you're enjoying your Roterunner and that the compartmentalized lists are a game-changer for you. Thanks for sharing your experience. Here's to a super productive and purposeful rest of the year!
