Life Planning Templates by The Tara Edit

Imagine having one place to plan the big things, keep track of the little things, and make more room for the life you actually want to be living.

Inside the Life Planning Templates, you’ll work through the key areas that shape everyday life, from your goals and weekly routines to life admin, relationships, travel, self-care, experiences, and the things you want to look forward to.

You’ll receive the full toolkit in both an editable Google Doc and PDF format (115 pages), so you can customize it, use it digitally, print the pages you want for your personal use, or do a combination of both.

You’ll be given plenty of direction, inspiration, examples, ideas, prompts, and lists along the way, so you’re never staring at a blank page trying to figure out what belongs where.

The templates are designed to be flexible and easy to use. You can work through them from beginning to end, jump to the section you need most, or keep coming back to them as your life changes. Use them to capture ideas, make decisions, plan ahead, and turn more of the things you want into actual plans.

Here’s an overview of what’s in the Life Planning Templates:

SECTION 1: PLAN THE BIGGER PICTURE

Step back from the day-to-day and think about where you want your life to go. This section helps you plan ahead, get clear on your priorities, and turn bigger ideas into something more concrete.

• Plan your year, quarter, and month

• Set and break down your goals

• Plan for travel, bigger expenses, and personal projects

• Identify what you want more of, less of, and what you want to make happen

SECTION 2: PLAN YOUR WEEKS & DAYS

Bring the bigger picture into your everyday life. These templates help you think through what’s coming, what needs your attention, and how you want your weeks to feel.

• Create your ideal weekly rhythm

• Plan your weekly priorities and weekend reset

• Organize meals, groceries, movement, and wellness

• Plan your days around what actually matters

SECTION 3: LIFE MAINTENANCE LISTS

Give all the practical details of life a place to live instead of trying to keep everything in your head. These master lists help you stay ahead of the recurring tasks that are easy to forget until they become urgent.

• Track appointments, bills, subscriptions, renewals, and important dates

• Stay on top of home, car, personal, and seasonal maintenance

• Keep running lists for things to buy, book, return, follow up on, and handle

• Create simple just-in-case planning for important documents and information

SECTION 4: PLAN MORE LIFE INTO YOUR LIFE

This is where you start planning more of the things that make life feel exciting, connected, interesting, and fun. Build a bank of ideas, then start turning them into real plans.

• Create lists for restaurants, local adventures, travel, events, and seasonal activities

• Plan more time with friends, family, and the people you love

• Capture hobbies, self-care ideas, new things to try, and favorite things to repeat

• Work through what needs to happen to actually make your plans possible

SECTION 5: RESET & REVIEW

Your life will keep changing, so your plans should be able to change with it. Use these check-ins to notice what’s working, catch what’s slipping, and decide where you want to focus next.

• Complete monthly and quarterly resets

• Check in on your goals and priorities

• Notice what you’ve been putting off or what needs more attention

• Decide what you want more of, less of, and what you want to make happen next

Your life is too important to keep managing it from scattered notes, mental lists, and good intentions.

Each section in the Life Planning Templates includes clear prompts, examples, ideas, checklists, and practical planning pages to help you think through the details, capture what matters, and turn more of your ideas into actual plans.

It’s 115 pages designed to help you get more of your life out of your head and into a plan, so you can feel more prepared for what’s ahead and more excited about the life you’re living and building for yourself.

You feel like life is moving quickly and you want to be intentional about how you’re actually spending it.

You have goals, ideas, trips, projects, and plans floating around in your head with no clear place to organize them, and your journal isn't cutting it.

You’re tired of constantly reacting to whatever needs your attention.

You want to feel more on top of the practical details without turning your life into a productivity project.

You want your weeks to feel more balanced, manageable, and thoughtfully planned.

You want to make more time for friends, family, hobbies, self-care, travel, and experiences you enjoy.

You want one place to keep track of what matters instead of relying on scattered notes, screenshots, apps, and mental lists.

You love having prompts, examples, checklists, and ideas that help you think of things you might otherwise forget.

You want to feel more prepared for what’s ahead, more excited about what you’re planning, and be more intentional about the life you’re building.

Planning has played a huge role in creating the life I have today.

I actually started my career as an urban planner (I have a master's degree in urban planning), so thinking ahead, looking at the bigger picture, and figuring out how to turn a vision into an actual plan has always been part of what I do.

When I decided I wanted a more creative and entrepreneurial career, I didn’t have a clear roadmap for what that would look like.

I had an idea of the life I wanted to create, and I started intentionally planning my way toward it. These are some of the results:

This happened through years of setting goals, breaking bigger ideas into smaller plans, looking ahead, managing a lot of moving pieces, making time for what mattered, and continuing to adjust as my life and priorities changed.

And somewhere along the way, I realized I didn’t only want to use those skills to plan my work. I wanted to be just as intentional about planning my life.

That thinking became a huge part of The Tara Edit and ultimately inspired these Life Planning Templates.

I wanted one place where I could look at my life as a whole, plan what was coming, keep track of what mattered, and make sure I wasn’t so busy managing everyday life that I forgot to actually plan for the life I wanted to be living.

My hope is that these templates help you do the same, whether you’re working toward a huge goal, trying to make everyday life run more smoothly, planning more experiences, or simply wanting to feel more intentional about how you spend your time.

You deserve to plan for a thriving life, and these templates can help you do just that.

This isn’t another planner. It’s the toolkit that helps you decide what you want to plan for. These digital templates are designed to work alongside any calendar or planner that you use.

The templates help you think through what you want to plan, remember, organize, and make happen, then you can add the relevant dates and plans to the calendar or planner that you already love.

There are fillable areas you can complete digitally, or you can print the PDF for your own personal use and fill it in by hand. You can also use the templates as prompts alongside your existing calendar, journal, or planner.

The Life Planning Templates are a practical planning toolkit designed to help you organize your life, plan ahead, stay on top of the details, and make more room for the things you want to do and experience.

The 40-Day Life Edit Challenge is a guided transformation experience offered a few times per year. Over 40 days, you work through eight specific areas of your life with daily direction, activities, and action steps designed to help you make meaningful changes.

The two really go hand in hand. The Life Planning Templates help you create the structure, plans, and systems that support a thriving life, while the Challenge helps you take a deeper look at different areas of your life and intentionally edit what you want to change, improve, or expand.

If you enjoy one, there’s a very good chance you’ll find the other valuable too, because they support different parts of the same bigger goal: creating a life you’re obsessed with.
