Welcome to the Deck of Life!

The Deck of Life is a card system designed to help people accomplish daily tasks. Unlike written planners or software/apps, it does not focus on strict organization or energy-consuming tracking, although it works well as an axillary to those systems. Instead it utilizes randomness to make your to-do list endlessly flexible and interesting.

It is a TASK ACCOMPLISHMENT system!

Endlessly flexible for different lifestyles, the Deck of Life provides an element of randomness that frees you to focus on your life, not your to-do list. Six suits of Action Cards cover the primary aspects of a wholehearted life, with individual cards providing instruction and guidance on what to do. You can do simple draws or use provided layouts to figure out their tasks for the day, or create your own layouts.

The options are endless!

This is an example of a card from the Deck of Life (early mockup!). It belongs to the “Home & Hearth” suit which consists of minor household tasks. The card you pull is your task for the day! 

If you are someone who faithfully fills out your planner or bullet journal every day or week and carefully marks off your tasks as “done” or “postponed”, you will probably find the Deck of Life too chaotic for you.

But! If you have a habit of picking up planners and abandoning them just as fast; if you are someone who dreads looking at your daily to-do list because it is stultifying; if you have a brain that likes to color outside the lines; if you work better with a touch of flexibility to your schedule; or if the word “schedule” itself gives you hives…then the Deck of Life is for YOU!

To planner, or not to planner…Deck of Life has you covered!

There are, of course, things you have to do every day, and weekly schedules you need to keep to. The Deck of Life does not have to replace your busy calendar (unless you want it to!) but allows you to keep on your calendar only the highest priority items that are time sensitive.

Instead of waking up every day with your (boring, repetitive, easily ignored) daily list of things to do, you leave specific tasks up to random chance while remaining confident that the important things will get done.
