Projects

A Project is a long-lived container for work. It acts as a label that groups tasks, habits, chores, and big plans together, and connects the day-to-day work of Thrive to the long-horizon thinking of the Life Plan.

Purpose

Projects represent the major ongoing areas of your life — things like "Personal", "Career", "Health", or "Family". They are not things you finish; they are the contexts in which you operate over years or decades.

In most cases, a small number of projects (one to five) is enough. Projects are meant to be very long-lived — think years, not months. For shorter, more concrete pieces of work, use big plans instead.

Properties

Property	Description
Name	A short label for the project.
Parent Project	An optional parent project, for hierarchical organisation.

Projects also support a note for additional context and tags for organisation.

Project Hierarchy

Projects can be nested within other projects, forming a tree. The maximum nesting depth is 5 levels from the root.

For example: - Personal - Health - Family - Career - Current Role - Side Projects

Relationship to the Life Plan

Projects live inside the Life Plan. They are referenced by chapters, goals, and milestones, making them the bridge between the Life Plan and your operational work.

Every task, habit, chore, and big plan can be tagged with a project. This lets you see all work related to a given area of your life in one place.

Accessing Projects

Open the Life Plan section from the sidebar, then choose Projects from the menu. You can also see projects via project-show in the CLI.
