\chapter*{Introduction}

\begin{multicols}{2}

This document is part of a never-ending search for the perfect planner. 

My goal was to create a planner where I can plan my days, weeks, and entire year ahead of time as much as possible. In addition to a regular planner where I can make note of everyday life events (i.e., medical appointments), I also wanted a way to incorporate annual goals into my weekly plans. I believe the reason so many new year's resolutions fail is that we simply forget about them. If you want to achieve something, you have to keep that goal in front of you. I also wanted a place to reflect on my progress on those goals, both on a monthly and on an annual basis.

Prior to this year, this was contained in a single document. Several notable changes have led this to being version 2.0.0, most notably: 

\begin{itemize}
	\item The research on goals and habits has been moved to a separate document (``Notes'').
	\item The annual and monthly goals and reflection pages have been moved to a separate document (``Annual Goals''). This makes it easier to refer to them when planning your weeks.
	\item Tables have been reconstructed entirely using the \texttt{tabularray} package for greater consistency.
\end{itemize}

You are welcome to download the pdf of this planner and use it. You can also customize it by forking or downloading the package and making whatever changes you may want. All of these documents have been written in \LaTeX{}; only the most basic working knowledge of that language should be required to make basic changes.
