The Harada Method

How it Works

Plan8 is inspired by the Harada Method—a system designed to turn high-stakes dreams into concrete daily actions. It was developed by Takashi Harada, a Japanese track coach who transformed the worst-performing schools into champions.

The Ohtani Example

From High School to Global Dominance

Shohei Ohtani, the world's greatest baseball player, used this exact method in 10th grade. His goal was to be the #1 draft pick. He built a 'Dream Map' of 64 cells that defined his entire path to success.

"Success is not an accident. It's a sequence of daily rituals."

The Framework

01

The Core Objective

Everything starts with a single, clear, and ambitious goal. Place it in the center of your 8x8 grid. This becomes your north star, guiding every subsequent decision. For Shohei Ohtani, this was becoming the #1 draft pick in NPB.

The 8 Strategic Pillars

Surround your main goal with eight key areas required for its achievement. These aren't just technical skills; they include mindset, physical health, and even 'luck' or character. These pillars ensure a balanced and comprehensive approach to success.

64 Daily Actions

Finally, expand each pillar into eight concrete, repeatable actions. This transforms your massive dream into a set of 64 manageable daily rituals. Success is no longer a mystery—it's just a matter of executing your daily checklist.
