Timeline

A one-page reflective timeline — a look-back, not a plan. Type your moments as "date | what happened" and they lay out down a single vertical spine, numbered in order, with the cards alternating left and right so the whole arc reads at a glance. Map a project's arc, a trip, a year, or a chapter of your life, then close by naming the one thread that runs through them all. A life is a sequence of moments — laid end to end, they show the shape of the story. Leave any node blank to fill in by hand.
