THE PLANNER I DESIGNED, LOVE, AND SWEAR BY
The Ponderlily Planner
Eight years ago, I designed what became our signature planner because I couldn’t find what I was looking for. I couldn’t find a single planner that made space for the inevitable work-tos, appointments, and reminders alongside space for self-care and meaning. Like the talented women I worked alongside, I could never find space for things like yoga as a full-time, working mom of twins. I drew layout after layout, inviting my friends and coworkers to test them out and see if it made a difference. Surprisingly, it did. Ponderlily was born in 2017, and to this day, we’ve helped thousands plan their days with more joy, intention, and purpose.
The Better Workweek
Create a calmer, more focused workweek that helps you make meaningful progress without running yourself into the ground. You’ll learn how to set clearer priorities, manage your time more intentionally, and protect your energy throughout the day. Finish each week feeling accomplished, in control, and able to enjoy the life you’re working so hard to build.
