Power up: a planner colour palette inspired by Dragon Ball, with hex codes. Gi orange, deep blue, gold and dragon green.

Bright orange, deep blue, gold and dragon green. The colours of a hero who trains hard, eats well and naps without guilt.

A fan-made palette. Anser isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by the makers of Dragon Ball.

Orange and blue, the classic pair

Orange and blue sit opposite each other on the colour wheel, so each makes the other look brighter. It’s one of the strongest contrasts there is, which is why it reads as energy. Orange is on Work here, so a busy day looks lively. If that’s too much for eight hours, swap it with the blue.

Your week in power up

A week in Anser in the power up palette, in the Hand-drawn style, with its six hex codes
The week in the picture uses Anser’s Hand-drawn style (Settings › Appearance › Style), which draws each event as a pale marker wash of its colour inside an ink line. The palette works in every style.

Train, eat, rest, repeat

  • Train in short bursts. One focused hour beats a distracted afternoon.
  • Eat a proper lunch. A big one, away from your desk.
  • Rest before the next level. Nobody powers up on no sleep.
  • Collect your seven. Seven small wins this week, one a day.
