Brands I Use
Here's a curated list of products that I love and use as part of my daily journaling and planning rituals.
Every item here has earned a place on my desk and in my routine — supporting how I slow down, get clear, and make aligned decisions.
These are the tools I return to again and again.

Day Designer
I’ve used Day Designer planners for over a decade. I redesign the cover each year to reflect the season I’m in, but the structure inside has stayed with me through every transition. I use the first two columns to record business and personal tasks, and the third column for affirmations. This planner has been instrumental in helping me turn clarity into action.
Pilot Pen
This is my absolute favorite pen — whether I’m journaling or writing a thank-you note. It flows so smoothly across the page. It’s like a dance.

Journals:
I’m particular about journals. I tend to stay with one for several months at a time, letting the pages fill slowly and naturally. When I choose a journal, it’s about the design, a message on the front cover that speaks to my heart, and paper that makes me want to keep writing. Here are 2 that I just added to my reserves.

File folders:
I use manila file folders to keep notes, papers, and ideas organized once they’re written down. Simple systems like this help me move from clarity to action without overcomplicating things.
