Professionals and self-managers using the Franklin Covey system
Sunday evening weekly planning session to align upcoming week with long-term goals
The Franklin Covey Weekly Planning mind map template adapts Stephen Covey's time management system into a structured weekly review and planning tool. It covers 4 core phases—Reconnect with, Review Last Week, The Big Rocks, and The Rest—with 18 nodes guiding users through mission alignment, role reflection, and priority scheduling. Designed for professionals and personal productivity enthusiasts, this Franklin Covey template helps users identify 'The Big Rocks' first and commit them to the calendar before adding optional tasks. Key nodes like 'Mission', 'Values', and 'Roles' anchor the weekly reconnect, while 'What went well?' and 'What could be done better?' drive continuous improvement.

Quarterly review of personal mission and role priorities before setting weekly Big Rocks
After a chaotic week, using the 'Review Last Week' branch to identify process improvements
Open the template in Xmind and customize the Reconnect branch by editing the Mission, Values, and Roles nodes to align with your personal purpose.
Review your previous week's performance and then identify your high-impact Big Rocks goals for each role to ensure priority tasks are scheduled first.
Populate the remaining nodes with optional tasks and save your mind map to serve as a consistent guide for your weekly productivity review.
The template includes 4 main branches: Reconnect with (Mission, Values, Roles), Review Last Week (planned vs. done, improvements), The Big Rocks (priority tasks to calendar first), and The Rest (optional tasks). It contains 18 nodes total.
Start by reconnecting with your mission, values, and roles. Then review last week's wins and lessons. Identify your Big Rocks—key goals and next actions—and schedule them in your calendar first. Finally, add optional tasks to The Rest.
Yes, the template is available on Xmind's template marketplace. You can open it in Xmind desktop or web and edit all nodes to fit your personal or professional weekly planning.
The Big Rocks are non-negotiable priorities that directly support your goals and roles—they must be placed in the calendar first. The Rest contains nice-to-have tasks that are optional and can be done if time allows.
Absolutely. The 'Values' and 'Roles' nodes are placeholders—you can rename them to reflect your own core values and life or work roles (e.g., parent, manager, learner).
