It identifies four main planning styles: objectives-oriented, domain and direction, task-oriented, and present-oriented. It encourages reflecting on one's priorities and calling when making plans, and setting up a weekly review to link schedules to goals. It suggests trying a new personal planning system for 30 days to reduce busyness and increase effectiveness.
