The Placemat Process in Law of Attraction Toolbox is a placemat process app for Android. You make a placemat with two lists, “Me” for things you will do and “Universe” for things you hand over, and move tasks between them as you go. It lives in the Games tab of this manifestation app and is for anyone who wants to feel less weighed down by a long to-do list.
What is the Placemat Process?
The Placemat Process was introduced by Esther and Jerry Hicks in the teachings of Abraham. You create two lists. The “Things I will do” side is for what you want to do or must do today. The Universe’s side is for everything else you would like taken care of. The app says the aim is to get unstuck by entrusting some tasks to the Universe, which releases resistance and gives the Universe permission to help with ease. Read more in our guide to Abraham-Hicks and five of their practices.
What you can do with the Placemat Process
- Create as many named placemats as you like.
- Add tasks to the “Me” list or the “Universe” list.
- Tick off tasks as they are done.
- Move a task from one list to the other.
- Rename, archive, unarchive or delete placemats.
How to use the Placemat Process on Android
Create a placemat
- Open the Games tab and tap Placemat Process. This opens the “Placemats” list.
- Tap the + button. In the “New Placemat” box, type a name where it says “Enter a name…” and tap Create.
- The new placemat opens straight away. Its name is in the top bar. Tap the name or the pencil icon to change it (“Edit Placemat Name”).
Add and manage tasks
- On the placemat you will see two sections: Me (“Things I’ll do”) and Universe (“Things I let the Universe handle”). On a phone they are stacked, with Me on top. On a tablet they sit side by side.
- Tap the small + button in a section. A box titled “New Me Task” or “New Universe Task” appears. Describe the task and tap Add.
- Tap the checkbox beside a task to mark it done. A done task is crossed out.
- Tap the three-dot menu on a task and choose Move to Universe or Move to Me to change its list, or Delete to remove it.
Example
Say your placemat is “Tuesday”. Under Me you add “Send the invoice” and “Go for a walk”. Under Universe you add “The client replies kindly” and “A parking space near the office”. If you notice you are gripping a task too tightly, open its menu and choose Move to Universe. This is only an illustration. Fill in your own.
Tips
- Put on the Me side what you want or need to do today, then put everything else on the Universe side.
- The key is letting go of the need to control everything. Focus on what you can do and allow the Universe to handle the rest.
- Check off tasks as they are done so the list shows what has already moved.
- Use the Information icon on the Placemats list or on a placemat to read the app’s full explanation.
Where your placemats go
Placemats are stored in your account and always listed on the “Placemats” screen. When you leave a placemat, the app saves your changes automatically. Tap the three-dot menu on a placemat to Archive it, and use the archive icon in the top bar to see “Placemats (Archived)”. There you can Unarchive or Delete a placemat. Saved entries are stored in your Law of Attraction Toolbox account, so they can sync across your devices when you are signed in. The sign-in screen also notes that guest data will not sync across devices.
