Projects require a lot of bandwidth, but when your head is full of ideas and decisions, it’s hard to think straight and concentrate fully on the task at hand! It’s a challenge - lack of focus will cause delays and pile on the stress.
The Project Action Pad works as an ‘external brain’ to free up the headspace you need to take action. With your plan on paper, you can swap repetitive thoughts and low-level decisions for productivity. Parking tasks for later unlocks more bandwidth for creative problem solving and innovation too. It’s how you can turn project to-dos into DONES and crush the complex goals that will transform your life.
Here's how
-
1. Project name
Make it easy to distinguish one project plan from another.
-
2. Outcome goal
Pin down your desired outcome with your SMART project goal (that’s Specific, Measurable, Action-based, Realistic, and Time-bound).
-
3.Deadline
Set a time frame to inspire implementation, promote prioritization, and fend off procrastination.

Exactly what I was looking for.
The layout is simple, yet effective. I use this form in addition to my electronic master project list. At a glance, I have to scope of my project on one easy to read and follow format.
For the average household or backyard project, this is great. Space for actions, materials, schedules and goals. Keeps you on target and reminds you if you’re not done yet.
Very often a company says they are one thing but are really something else. In this case, the company name truly reflects their desire to be their Best Self. I had submitted a prior review entitled "Damaged Goods". The problem was that I had ordered a number of items and they came to me damaged because of the padded envelope. I asked to have the Project and Weekly Action Pads to be resent. Those were also damaged again because of the padded envelope. I had contacted support after both shipments and had let them know about this issue.
I just got a surprise package. As you can see it was shipped in a box (with caution labels), there was plenty of packing materials, and a limited edition set of four journals (which I had not ordered but provided as a way to say, "we hear you"), and two completely pristine pads (One a Project Action Pad and the other a Weekly Action Pad).
Wow! Now that's a way to turn a problem into a very grateful and loyal customer. Way to go BestSelf!!!
I have been using the BestSelf journal from the prior order and it's really quite helpful. Thanks again BestSelf!!
I am someone who gets stressed because of all the undone tasks rolling around in my head. This lets me put them down according to the project and then work through them. I'm spending less time switching tasks as I remember them and more time getting work done.
