Sunsama alternative
The Deliberate Week or Sunsama?
Sunsama is a mindful daily planner for knowledge workers — it pulls tasks from your work tools into a guided day. The Deliberate Week runs your whole life by the week, measures where you stand through three wheels, remembers over time in the Ledger, and never gamifies.
The practical difference
| Feature | The Deliberate Week | Sunsama |
|---|---|---|
| Planning rhythm | Your whole life, planned by the week | A guided daily plan for knowledge work |
| Starting point | Direction, three wheels, weekly loop, and existing life systems | Tasks brought in from work tools |
| Memory | The Ledger keeps a private history of your weeks | Focused on planning the workday |
| Hard weeks | Kits provide step-by-step structure | Daily task and calendar planning |
| Gamification | No streaks, scores, or missed states | Mindful planning rather than a life-measurement method |
