Save your board
Your board saves automatically on this device, in this browser. To print it, keep a copy, or open it somewhere else, use one of these.
This browser isn't saving your board (a private window, perhaps). Email yourself the link before you close this page, or your changes will be lost.

Opening someone else's board replaces yours on this device, but yours is set aside and you can bring it back from the notice at the top of the page.
The PDF is a printout of everything on the board, usually two pages: the chart, totals, harmonies and X-Factor first, then your story and future-self measures. It always uses the light Paper look so it prints cleanly, and its text can be searched and copied. The image is one picture of the same content in the look you're using now.
The board file is a small file that holds your whole board — every point, harmony, note, X-Factor and future-self measure. It's the surest way to keep your work outside this browser: use it to move to another computer, keep a copy for your next Studio, or send your board to a Remix partner. A PDF or image can't be loaded back in; this file can.
- Click Download board file and keep the file somewhere you'll find it (it ends in
.json). - To load it again, open the Mixing Board, click Save (or Share), then Open board file… and choose the file.
- Loading replaces whatever is on that board now, so download the current board first if you want to keep it.
Files can't be downloaded from this view of the board — the Claude viewer only allows downloads for some people, such as the board's owner. Everything below works for everyone.
Make a printable image of your whole board — chart, totals, harmonies, story, X-Factor and future-self measures — in the light Paper look. Then right-click it and choose Save Image As… or Copy Image. On a phone or tablet, press and hold the image. You can print the saved image or drop it into an email.
Right-click → Save Image As… (or press and hold on a phone).
Your board code holds your whole board in one line of text. Copy it and keep it somewhere safe — an email to yourself or a note works well — or send it to a Remix partner.
- To load it again, open the Mixing Board and click Save.
- Paste the code under Load a board and press Load. A board file saved earlier works too.
- Loading replaces whatever is on that board now, so copy the current code first if you want to keep it.

The green band is where a moment's total intensity feels full but not frantic. Outside it turns amber; past the red lines it turns red.

This clears every point, harmony and note on this board — including your X-Factor and future-self measures. If you might want it back, copy the share link first.
Five tracks. Six moments. One life, remixed.
Set how much of yourself each track gets, from 0 to 20 — five years ago, today, and out to ten years from now.
The board adds the five areas together to indicate a total intensity during each time period.
There is no right answer. Some people will want to keep overall intensity just as high, but with a different mix; others might want more free time in their next phase and look for a declining total intensity.
Watch out for totals that drift too high and might not be realistic, or too low and might feel too thin.
The five tracks
intensity 0–20 eachType a number for precision, or drag on the board. Solo a track to bring it forward and soften the others.
Harmonies
one activity, several needsThere is a free lunch in Remix, and we call it a Harmony. A Harmony lets a single activity meet several needs at once: yoga with a friend (R+M), walking meetings (E+M), an impact project you share with your spouse (R+I), paid work that also has real impact (E+I), or a business with a good friend that does good in the world (R+E+I) — join as many tracks as the activity truly serves. Each one takes its points off the total in the moments where it applies, once for every extra track it joins, and never more than the smallest of those tracks.
The story behind the moves
what changed, or what willBetween each pair of moments, write the moves that explain the shift — the decision, the habit, the person, the project. The chips show which tracks moved and by how much.
What is my X-Factor?
what did you always mean to get to?The thing you kept your eye on is still there — a craft, a faith, a place, a passion. Name it, say why it matters, and describe what it would look like to finally pursue it for no reason other than that you love it.
Put yourself in your future self’s shoes
what would tell you it worked?Picture yourself one year and three years from now. What visible measures would make you confident you hit the targets on your board? For example: walked my son to school two or three times a week; worked out four times a week and lost 20 pounds; earned $X extra from paid advisory work. Think about what would make you satisfied — and where it’s relevant, what others would look for. What would make your parents or your kids say you had really raised R as much as you meant to?
Height is intensity
0 means the track gets none of you; 20 means it gets everything you have. Most full lives run each track somewhere between 6 and 16.
The total is the tell
Five tracks at 20 add to 100 — nobody lives there for long. A total near zero means drifting. The green band in between is a life that is full without being frantic.
Harmonies support your Remix
Where one activity feeds two tracks, you get the intensity without paying for it twice. Finding more of them is often the whole game.
