Frequently asked questions

Why does rest need planning — shouldn't it just happen?
In theory yes, but in practice many people are so used to being busy that 'rest days' fill up with chores, errands and admin, or are spent feeling guilty for not being productive. Planning rest intentionally — and identifying the kinds you actually need (physical, mental, sensory, emotional) — gives you permission to take it and protects it from being eaten by tasks. Rest isn't laziness or a reward earned only after finishing everything; it's essential maintenance that makes sustained energy and wellbeing possible.
Is it really free?
Yes — no email, no sign-up.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes — print as many copies as you need.
