I lost three clients last year to missed Fridays. Time blindness made every week feel like walking on ice. This board shows me exactly what's urgent without the panic. Four weeks in and I haven't missed one deadline. My brain finally has a system it can follow.

I have a drawer full of abandoned planners. Beautiful ones. Expensive ones. This Google Sheet is ugly but it works. The energy zones are genius because I can pick tasks when I'm fried instead of forcing myself. Still using it after two months which is a personal record.

Missed a €8K client deadline in September. Rock bottom. This system pulled me back. The visual countdowns work with my time blindness way better than calendar notifications ever did. Three months later I'm rebuilding my client base with zero anxiety about Fridays.

No fancy app. No complex features. Just a board that tells me what to do next based on how my brain feels right now. I work in waves not schedules and this is the first system that gets it. Setup took eight minutes. Been using daily for six weeks.

Calculated I was losing about 15K per year to missed deadlines and lost opportunities. Six weeks in and I've completed four projects on time. The ROI is insane. Should have found this two years ago.

The 90-second reset is what sold me. When I get distracted the board just shows me where I was. No guilt. No restart. Just back to work. It expects me to fail and that's why it works. Used it through a chaotic week and still delivered everything.

Stopped counting how much I spent on productivity coaches and apps that didn't work. This simple sheet does more than all of them combined. The color coding for energy levels is so obvious I can't believe nobody else does this. Seven weeks zero missed tasks.

The shame of missing deadlines was killing me. Clients would ask for updates and I'd avoid emails. This board keeps me accountable without making me feel like garbage. I can look at Friday's tasks on Monday without panic. Confidence is slowly coming back.

Used to start everything the night before. Burnout was real. The automatic buffers in this system force me to see deadlines coming early. Haven't pulled an all-nighter in five weeks. My work quality improved because I'm not exhausted.

I start ten things and finish three. Always been that way. This board doesn't try to fix me. It just shows what actually needs finishing right now. The prioritization happens automatically. I just pick from the red zone when I'm low energy. Brilliant.

Thought I'd have to abandon Notion and Trello. Nope. This board just tells me which tool to open when. It's like GPS for my existing mess. Finally all my tools work together instead of competing for attention. Game changer.

When I missed deadlines I'd disappear from shame. Lost more clients from ghosting than from being late. This system keeps me visible and accountable. The communication templates helped me stay in touch even when behind. Rebuilding trust now.

Traditional planners assume I have same energy all day. I don't. Morning fog is real. This lets me match tasks to energy and suddenly I'm productive even on bad brain days. Why did nobody think of this before.

Usually abandon systems because setup is overwhelming. The guide had me running in ten minutes. Screenshot by screenshot. No confusion. Used it while my brain was fried and still got it working. That alone is worth the price.

Friday panic was my normal. Every week. This board shows me Thursday what needs finishing Friday. The visual countdown means my time blindness doesn't ambush me anymore. Slept peacefully last three Fridays. Revolutionary.
