The Bento
Method

The Problem: "List Chaos"

Most productivity systems fail because they are Linear (Top to Bottom). But your life is not linear. Your life is Modular.

You have Health, Finance, Career, and Learning happening all at once. When you put them in a list, things get buried. The solution is the Bento Grid: A visual dashboard where every area of life has a fixed container.

Build Your Dashboard

Imagine your screen is divided into blocks. Click the modules below to "Install" them into your hypothetical LifeOS.

SYSTEM STATUS: EMPTY

The 3 Rules of Bento

  • Constraint is Good: You only get 4-8 blocks. If it doesn't fit in a block, it doesn't exist.
  • Visuals > Text: Your "Habit" block should be a chart, not a sentence.
  • One Click Access: Every part of your life must be reachable in one click from the dashboard.
