Pre-Paving in Law of Attraction Toolbox is a pre-paving process app for Android. You pick a time period or an event, answer four short questions about how you want it to go, and the app keeps your statement on the Today tab as a reminder. It is one of the Games in this manifestation app and is for anyone who likes to set the tone before the day, the week or a big event begins.
What is pre-paving?
Pre-paving is an Abraham-Hicks technique. You describe how you want an upcoming period of time or event to go, in the present tense, as if it is already unfolding. The app says it is about visualizing and feeling your desired future as if it is happening now. This page keeps the explanation short and focuses on using it in the app. For the full background, see the guide to Abraham-Hicks and the 10-minute daily manifestation routine.

How to pre-pave on Android
- Open the Games tab and tap Pre-Paving. You can also tap the + beside “Pre-Paving” on the Today tab.
- Under Event, pick a time period from the drop-down. The default is “Today”. If you pick “Specific Event”, a “Specific Event Name” box appears for you to type the event.
- Read the instruction “Answer any of the questions below in full sentences and include as much detail as possible.”
- Answer the first question, which uses your choice: “What are your plans for today? What things will you be doing?” The wording changes with the period or event you chose.
- Answer “How do you want those plans, and things, to go?”
- Answer “How do you want to feel throughout your day? What emotions do you want to experience?”
- Answer “What things would you like to see during and after the event/time period?”
- Tap Save. A celebration screen appears and the entry is saved.
To empty the form, tap Clear and confirm “Clear All Entries?” with Yes, Clear.
Example
Event: “Tomorrow”. Plans: “I have a relaxed morning, then a good meeting at ten”. How it goes: “Everything runs smoothly and on time”. Feelings: “I feel calm, confident and curious”. What you will see: “Friendly faces and a clear to-do list by the end of the day”. Write in the present tense, as the app suggests.
Tips
- Answer in full sentences. This makes them easier to read on the Today tab.
- Write in the present tense, as if you are about to experience your ideal scenario.
- Allow yourself to feel the positive emotions as you write.
- Use it for upcoming events in your day or week, not only long-term desires.
- Pre-paving can also show you limiting beliefs: if you feel you cannot have something, that points to one.
Where your entries go
Your most recent pre-paving entry appears in the “Pre-Paving” section of the Today tab, where you can tap the eye icon to show or hide it. That section can also be switched on or off in the Today tab settings. All entries are listed under Journey > Saved Entries > By Tool > Pre-Paving, on a screen titled “Pre-Paving History”. Tap an entry to open it in “Edit Pre-Paving” and save your changes. 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.
