Yearplan Introduces a Focus System Designed for Clarity in a Distracted World

Yearplan, a productivity brand originally launched through Kickstarter, has introduced the Yearplan Focus System — a physical-digital ecosystem designed to help people maintain clarity, prioritisation, and meaningful progress in an age of constant noise and distraction.

In an era often described as “brain rot,” where attention has become one of the most valuable and fragile personal assets, traditional planners and productivity apps tend to emphasise schedules, task accumulation, and surface-level organisation. Yearplan was created to address a deeper issue: the gradual derailment from one’s path caused by fragmented attention and competing demands. Many people understand their goals, yet struggle to keep them visible, relevant, and protected in daily life. Yearplan approaches this challenge through a system built around selective attention, intentional prioritisation, and sustained clarity.

At the heart of the system is a card-based design that separates vision, planning, daily action, and reflection into individual elements. Instead of asking users to manage their entire life inside a single notebook or app, Yearplan breaks focus into clear, purposeful components — allowing each card to serve a distinct role and be used independently or together, depending on the moment and context.

This modular approach makes it easier to narrow attention naturally. When a simple reminder is enough, users can carry a single Day Card. When working at a desk, key cards can be placed directly in view using the system’s wooden dock. By physically anchoring priorities into the environment, the system keeps focus visible throughout the day while requiring only brief, intentional interactions rather than constant engagement.

The Yearplan Focus System was shaped and refined through a successful Kickstarter campaign, where it earned Kickstarter’s Backer Favourite badge — a distinction awarded to creators who consistently receive high satisfaction and positive feedback from their backers. Early supporters highlighted the simplicity of the form factor and the sense of control it brings over time, noting how easily the system integrates into everyday routines without becoming overwhelming.

“It’s intentionally kept simple, so it never feels like a daunting planner,” said a representative from Yearplan. “It doesn’t demand your time. You can engage with it in seconds and still see exactly where you stand — your priorities, your progress, and what matters most — all at a glance.”

While minimal on the surface, the system quietly incorporates proven principles from productivity and behavioural science, including visualisation, goal definition, reverse planning, time blocking, effort tracking, reflection, and maintaining a clear connection to long-term direction. These elements are embedded into the structure of the system, making them intuitive rather than instructional.

The physical system is supported by thoughtfully designed accessories that integrate naturally into existing workflows. The folio functions as both a protective case and compact desk mat, while the wooden dock also serves as a phone stand — keeping digital tools accessible but intentional. Designed with a small footprint, these elements help the system remain present rather than forgotten.

The Yearplan app complements the physical system by reinforcing focus and alignment. It visually represents a user’s willpower through a circular meter, gently nudging awareness throughout the day, and allows users to lock distracting apps with a single tap to create fully focused time blocks. The app is designed to support intentional digital use rather than encourage passive consumption.

Building on its community-driven origins, Yearplan is preparing to launch its 2026 Focus System campaign on Kickstarter as part of an ongoing, yearly initiative focused on community-led awareness, distribution, and long-term impact.

As interest grows in mindful productivity and tangible systems that counter screen fatigue, Yearplan reflects a broader shift toward protecting attention and living with intention.
