From the Pages

Turning Monday chaos into a working system.

Strategy Director, Lagos
“The strategist who stopped losing ideas.”

Maya Okafor leads brand strategy for a consultancy in Lagos. Her days are split between client calls, creative reviews, and the quiet thinking required to connect them. The problem was never a lack of ideas — it was keeping track of them.

IN THE PAGES

How the planner actually looks in use.

Sunday planning, one page at a time.
The weekly spread — priorities before hours.
Thinking on paper, in the margins.
Numbered notes, indexed and findable.
Finding the thread again, months later.
Roles and goals in a single spread.

Their system

Three habits that hold it together.

01

Sunday reset

Ten minutes to close the week, name what mattered, and carry the rest forward.

02

Notes with an address

Every idea lands on a numbered page and gets logged in the index.

03

Three that count

The week starts with three outcomes that define what done looks like.
