Frequently Asked Questions
Writing & Tools
How do I write on a black calendar?
I use white paint pens by Artistro — they’re smooth, opaque, and don’t smudge once dry.

Can I erase white paint pens?
Only for a very short window before they fully dry. Gently wipe with an alcohol wipe.
If the ink is fully dry, the easiest way is:
Black it out with a Sharpie → write over the black area again with the white pen.
Understanding the Layout
What’s the circular grid in the middle?
That’s the Radial Habit Tracker.
Use the rectangles to list up to five habits.
Then mark your progress each day by filling in the corresponding radial segments.
It creates a visual momentum loop so you can see consistency grow.
Do I have to fill out the whole page?
Not at all.
The lines are prompts, not pressure.
Start small — fill out a few areas and expand as you get clearer on what actually matters.
How the System Works
How does the Goal Cascade work?
It breaks the year into a structure you can actually follow:
Quarterly Goals: choose 1–3 outcomes for the next 12 weeks.
Monthly Focus: break those down into monthly priorities.
Weekly Commitments: choose the small actions you’ll follow through on this week.
This structure keeps goals grounded in weekly reality, not annual overwhelm.
What is the Community About?
The Refinement Labs™ Community is a free online space for calendar owners and early supporters. The community is hosted through skool.com. We meet every Sunday to set goals, reflect, and build momentum together.
Do I have to make a Skool account to join the community?
Yes, but it’s totally free. Skool is where I host weekly live calls, create guided mini-courses, and share exclusive tools.
Do I need a Refinement Calendar to join the community?
Not right now — the community is free and open.
But owning the calendar makes the experience far more practical and fun.
