Hi, another reader of Tony Robbins? Here's how I do it:

(setq planner-plan-page-template
      "#authz ddliu\n* Purpose\n\n\n** Ultimate Vision\n\n\n** Ultimeate 
Purpose\n\n\n** Yearly Goals\n\n\n** Quarterly Goals\n\n\n* Sub Projects\n\n\n* 
Tasks\n\n\n* Timeclock\n\n\n* Accomplishments\n\n\n* Notes")

I customized the plan page template like that, So I can have yearly
goals and quarterly goals for each project. This is the "big view" for
one project.

And I have

,----
| */* #A1 _ 10m summary today and plan tomorrow (LifePlan)
|
| Sunday #A1 _ 1h weekly summary (LifePlan)
| Sunday #A1 _ 1h plan for next week (LifePlan)
|
| %%(let ((m (extract-calendar-month date))
|        (y (extract-calendar-year date))
|        (d (extract-calendar-day date)))
|   (equal d (calendar-last-day-of-month m y))) #A1 _ 2h monthly summary 
(LifePlan)
| 
| %%(let ((m (extract-calendar-month date))
|        (y (extract-calendar-year date))
|        (d (extract-calendar-day date)))
|   (equal d (calendar-last-day-of-month m y))) #A1 _ 2h plan for next month 
(LifePlan)
`----

In my cyclic task. So besides the everyday plan/summary, on weekends
or end of a month, I look through (some of) the plan pages and write
notes like "last week summary", "2005.03 plan" to keep my trend.

This is less automatic compared to Sacha's solution, but works pretty
good for me :)

Another choice might be using etask to keep the "big view" but I
haven't get myself used to it. And etask is slow on my old 866
notebook... :(


Wish this helps,
