# 4To1 Planner — AI Planning Coach

> **"From Vision to Action: 4to1"**

An AI-native planning coach that turns your 4-year vision into today's action — through conversation, not templates.

## The 4To1 Method™

A 4-layer strategic planning system. Each layer bridges the gap between vision and execution:

```
4 YEARS  →  Strategic Vision     (Where am I going?)
3 MONTHS →  Project Milestones   (Quarterly Gantt Log)
2 WEEKS  →  Action Execution     (1 Day in a Week sprints)
1 DAY    →  Daily Tasks          (Today's to-do list)
```

Plus two elimination layers:
- **Not-To-Do Projects**: Things you explicitly say NO to
- **Time Wasters**: Daily habits you're eliminating

**Core principle:** Every daily task connects to a 2-week sprint, which connects to a 3-month milestone, which connects to your 4-year vision. **Nothing floats.**

## Quick Start

User says any of these → this skill activates:
- "Help me set up a planning system"
- "I want to plan my next 4 years"
- "Do my weekly review"
- "What should I focus on today?"
- "Set up 4to1 planner"

## Setup: Connect Your Backend

The planner needs somewhere to store plans. Ask the user which they prefer:

### Option 1: Notion (Recommended)

```bash
# 1. Create a Notion integration at https://www.notion.so/my-integrations
# 2. Copy the API key (starts with ntn_)
# 3. Store it:
mkdir -p ~/.config/4to1
echo "BACKEND=notion" > ~/.config/4to1/config
echo "NOTION_API_KEY=ntn_your_key_here" >> ~/.config/4to1/config
```
