Why can't I stick to a daily planner?

You cannot stick to a daily planner because daily planners require a daily habit, and habits break exactly when life gets busy, which is when you need them most. Missing one day creates a gap, the gap feels like failure, and most people quit rather than face a backlog. Sticking becomes possible when the cost of missing a day drops to zero. Look for a planner that automatically moves unfinished tasks forward, rebuilds your plan around changes, and treats a skipped day as normal rather than a broken streak. Orby takes this approach on purpose. It plans your week from goals you type in plain language, adjusts around your real calendar, and sends warm reminders without any streak counters or shame mechanics. Consistency comes from low friction, not willpower.
