You know that feeling when you open a brand-new planner - full of hope - only to find yourself totally uninspired or overwhelmed by it, the moment you start to use it?

That’s me - every time.

I have never found a planner that works for me. I want something that feels simple and enjoyable to use, while actually helping me to do the things I want to do. But I have always found that traditional planners are simply not designed for creative, busy, slightly-chaotic brains like mine. They’re too grey, too rigid, too boring.

So for some time now I’ve been dreaming of creating Project You life design tools that do work for brains that need simplicity, inspiration and dopamine colours to stay on track and engaged in their plans.

Tools that will help you and me design our lives, plan our weeks, and turn our dreams and ideas into reality (without burning out in the process).

And so in today’s Pep-Talk I dive into the topic of getting things done - and the importance of getting all the to-dos out of our heads, onto a page and into a system.

I invite you to take a look at the systems that you are currently using - what’s working and what’s not - and what you could add to make your system even more effective.

And then I’d love to hear from!

💡 I’ve made a super-quick survey

to find out what’s missing for you when it comes to planning, staying on track, and getting things done and what Project You life design tools and support you’d most love me to create next!

I’m running a live brainstorming event!

If you want to dive even deeper into this with me, join me live on Monday 4th November, 7pm UK time, when we’ll brainstorm together and start shaping what the new tools and system could be. I already have a lot of ideas to discuss with you, but I really want to hear your thoughts and ideas - and what you actually want.

So excited to see what new Project You life design tools grow out of this! 🥳✨🗓️✨
