90-day plan

Ninety-Day Less-Hostile Life Plan

A ninety-day contact plan for stopping leaks, installing anchors, repairing systems, and building durability.

Cover of Build a Life That Doesn't Eat You Alive by Pierce Kastleton

What this tool does

This is not a transformation challenge. It is a ninety-day contact plan. The goal is visible, boring relief: fewer leaks, stronger anchors, repaired systems, and a life that is harder to knock over.

Use a ten-day leak stop. Write the truth, choose the top three consequences, and take one boring next action each day.

Bad-week version

Use it when

  • You need more than a bad-week reset but less than a five-year plan.
  • Your life has multiple systems that need repair across money, space, work, rest, and people.
  • You want a quarter plan that does not rely on heroic motivation.

How to use it

  1. Days 1-10: Stop the leaks by writing the current truth and touching the items that worsen fastest.
  2. Days 11-30: Install anchors: daily basics, weekly money contact, calendar review, and a restart card.
  3. Days 31-60: Repair the systems around home, work, relationships, admin, rest, and attention.
  4. Days 61-90: Build durability by reviewing what works, reducing what does not, and making your strongest systems smaller and repeatable.

Worksheet version

Copy these prompts into a notebook, notes app, spreadsheet, or the nearest envelope that is already judging you.

Common traps

  • Making ninety days into a personality contest.
  • Choosing seven arcs instead of a few.
  • Mistaking intensity for importance.
