Today marks a new chapter for Plan With Laur. I have some news! This is a project that has been in the works for months and I’m so excited to share with you today. Plan With Laur physical products are here! Y’all, I made a planning pad! Co-created with my friends over at bloom daily planners, you will soon be able to purchase a pad and plan your days like I plan mine.
When I talk about my mission and goal as a planner and content creator, fundamental to that mission is helping others. It’s truly what I love to do. If a year ago you told me I would have created a pad or, frankly, a physical product of any kind, I wouldn’t have believed you. I respect and love all of the talented entrepreneurs who have created and built sticker shops, planner accessory companies, and their own planners from the ground up. I just didn’t see that in my future. But with a lot of help and encouragement from my friends over at bloom daily planners, we co-created a product that I hope helps you every single day. Here’s everything you need to know!
The pad is a 6 x 9 undated daily planning pad. For an idea, 6 x 9 is slightly larger than the A5 size. It slips perfectly into a 7 x 9 (or larger) planner. And if you keep a hole punch around, I opted for the undated option because you shouldn’t be tied to using the pad each day (though I support this, of course :D). My intention for the pad is to complement your daily planning routine, not replace it entirely. With 80 tear-off sheets, there’s plenty of room to plan!
The front page is completely guided. It’s how I plan my day. This system is one I hope will help you reclaim your time, achieve your goals, and, hopefully, live a life that you love. There are sections for top priorities, appointments, goal progress, affirmations, a water tracker, to-do list, reminders for later, and a reflections section with sub-bullets for today’s wins, today’s takeaways, and gratitude. Using the planning pad–especially one with many sections–is an invitation to adopt what you like and ignore what you don’t. I believe in functional planning, which means there’s no pressure to fill out every section.
The back of each page is left blank. This was intentional. There is a bulleted to-do list section, a vertical lined section, a blank space, and a horizontal lined section. Feel free to use each section (with colored in headers) for stickers that best suit your life, or get completely creative. Everyone’s reality looks different. Whether you are a corporate employee, a stay-at-home parent, a caregiver, or all of the above, I want this pad to be functional. Your use of it can change day to day. If you prefer using the front, or just the back, there’s no hard feelings. We just care that you use it!
On Wednesday, June 2 the planning pad launches for pre-order, retailing for $9.95. Orders will ship this July! I want to thank the team over at bloom daily planners for their invaluable contribution to scoping, designing, and producing this planning pad. Our collaboration is the latest in bloom’s Give Back product line. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will go directly to Girls Inc, an organization where girls learn to value their whole selves, discover and develop their inherent strengths, and receive the support they need to navigate the challenges they face.
Let me know if you have any questions – I look forward to planning with y’all on this pad in the very near future!
