As a personal rule, I don’t ordinarily share any sort of crowdfunding campaigns here on the blog. Today, though, I’m breaking that rule because I wanted to share with you guys a project my friend Kathleen is working on and I think since so many of you are planner addicts (myself included), you can get behind this idea. It’s in its final days on Kickstarter and this is the kind of planner that many of us can benefit from.
I’ll let Kathleen tell you a little more about herself and her project:
I’m Kathleen Celmins, and I blog in a variety of places. I’m new to the Stacking Benjamins team, and that and For Profit Blogging are my primary platforms. I got into blogging through Frugal Portland. Essentially, I’m a writer/designer/marketer who wants to teach other people how to tell their own story.
- Those who feel like they’re running on a treadmill and not actually getting anywhere.These people are running 100 miles an hour in 27 different directions, and they don’t feel like they have anything to show for their efforts. The Remarkable Year will show them that they did a lot more than they thought, and will encourage them to keep up the good work.
- Those who don’t plan their days hour-by-hour. Or if they do, they’re planning using a calendar app that helps ensure they make it to meetings on time.
- Those who aren’t always looking for a new app. In today’s ever-connected world, some people seek to step back from technology. And what better way than to write down the major and mini-milestones in a beautiful book you write yourself.
- Those who want to journal, but are intimidated by a completely blank page. It’s often easier to respond to prompts instead of starting from a blank page. Writing prompts make it simple to jot down the important pieces of your week.
That sounds like a great way to feel accomplished through the year. I am a keeper of many unfinished to-do lists that are always overwhelming. This sounds like a nice change.

I love the idea of this. You can look back and see all that you accomplished which is probably great for the psyche. I cant even keep up with my regular to do planner (haven’t touched it in months), but this would be awesome for someone who loves writing lists, crossing them off and documenting everything!

I like this idea. I do feel like it might stress me out though…that puts a lot of pressure on the end of December, trying to formulate these goals!
However, I do know that I bought an Emily Ley planner this year and I won’t do that again. I think I might be past the point of $40-$50 planners…

I do not fare well with yearly goals. It’s too long for me. I’m still interested in it. Does she have photos?
Sounds pretty cool!

I tried to go without a paper planner last year for the first time in over a decade. It wasn’t a good look for me. I need it, and I *like* it. The only app I use for organizing is the stock Reminders app on iPhone, because it syncs with my computer so when I’m writing a blog post and remember I need bananas I can put it right on the same grocery list I use on my phone at the grocery store. This sounds like a really awesome product! And funny, I was just having a twitter conversation about planners when I saw this post 😉
I have to have something tangible in my hands; I can’t get used to Calendar apps or organizational apps. Great idea and good for her!! Wow!
