Hey, thanks so much for popping in and checking out myLife!

I started this journey back in 2014 after using my design powers to create a planner that didn’t exist.

After running a solo design studio for over twenty-six years the myLife tools have been tested, loved, re-worked, and are a tool that I can mold to fit my life and yours. You can get my design back story here.

The myLife brand began with myDay. It was my take on creating an undated version inspired by the Franklin Covey. I produced a limited 100 planners and used them as self promotion gifts. I was thrilled with the positive reactions I got, but was surprised and hopeful when I started getting inquiries about purchases.

After a year using the myDay, I realized my work process needed more clarity and intention that it no longer offered. I wanted to know at a glance what I achieved and didn’t each week.

The product design has always depended on being able to produce them in-house so with standard printers page sizes I had basic letter and legal sized paper to work with. The legal size provided a little more width but squeezing seven days into two pages on didn't work. So I began by dividing the weekday from the weekend. Creating three columns per page allowed for a free section for each. What was left though was what I was going to do on the first page. So after a meeting with a creative business consultant, she asked me my top three projects I wanted to focus on in a week, and from there the download page was born.

So that year I arranged to produce and sell myDays and myWeeks at a design conference bookstore. They sold out.

The planners have been through many design versions over the years and in a mission to create a product that provides you structure while not overwhelming your process with bold design.

Doing my part to push back against the standards of wasteful production, I produce each planner on-demand. The undated design provides its life to last up to two to six years. Of course this type of production comes at a higher cost per item. Unlike getting books done across the pond in China in massive quantities, which is what you find in your local store, the perceived value would be less. It's just print on paper after all. But for myLife production, its the time and effort for myself to do all the designing, printing in-house, as well as working with local printers to invest in printing offset the bulk of the content that doesn't change year to year. Then setting up the marketing, sales, customer service and when an order comes in, head down to my corner of the basement to collate and bind your chosen cover and the packaged with care and a personal note, shipped to you.

I have found that one in ten people I share myLife planners with totally love and value the design and function. It's not a planner for everyone, but maybe you are one in ten? I invite you to find out. Sign up for myLife to be sent to your inbox and get a free trail of both the myWeek and myDay systems.
