Version History
Major update: Pivoted to AI Planning Coach. Now live on Telegram (@fourtooneplannerbot). Correct 4to1 Method hierarchy: 4 Years → 3 Months → 2 Weeks → 1 Day. All templates free. Supports Notion, Todoist, Google Calendar, local Markdown.
What This Skill Does
The 4To1 Method structures goal planning into four linked layers: a 4-year vision, 3-month milestones, 2-week sprints, and daily tasks. Every task connects upward through this hierarchy so nothing drifts without a strategic reason. The skill guides initial setup, daily check-ins, weekly reviews, and quarterly planning across multiple backends.
Unlike flat to-do systems, every task is explicitly tied to a higher-level goal, making it visible when daily work has drifted from the original vision.
When to use it
- Setting up a new goal planning system with vision and sprint layers
- Running a Sunday weekly review to log wins and plan next week
- Getting today's top 3 focus tasks based on the current sprint
- Checking quarterly milestone completion at end of a quarter
- Adding a new task and linking it to the correct project and sprint layer
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: What should I focus on today?
- 1Read backend config to identify which storage system is active
- 2Query current 2-week sprint tasks and project priorities from the backend
- 3Identify any projects with no recent progress
- 4Select top 3 tasks, each linked to a 3-month milestone
- 5Append stall alerts and any Not-To-Do reminders
A prioritized list of 3 tasks for the day, each labeled with the sprint project and quarterly milestone it serves, plus any stall or boundary alerts

Accounts, API keys, or tools you or your AI assistant may need to set up while using this skill.
