Comparison

Outfit Banking vs Outfit Planning

Banking saves proven combinations for reuse. Planning creates new ones for upcoming events. Both reduce decision fatigue differently.

Side by side

01

Time orientation

Banking is backward-looking — save what worked. Planning is forward-looking — create for upcoming needs.

02

Effort

Banking is low-effort: save discoveries as they happen. Planning requires active thought each time.

03

Best together

Check your bank first. If no proven look exists, plan one. If the plan works, bank it. The bank grows and planning effort decreases.

Questions, answered.

How to start banking?

When something feels great, log it in TRY. Do this for 2-3 weeks to build a useful starting bank.

How far ahead to plan?

A week ahead works for most — batch decisions on Sunday with weather forecasts.
