Built around you, not your to-do list

Unlike most planners that begin with your tasks, Dare starts with you: your thoughts, your energy, your wellbeing. How your day feels matters just as much as what you get done in it.

I love this planner. I love that it is not dated so that it can be be used for more than just one year. I love that it is not a pressure - don’t fill it in for a month? That’s fine there’s no judgement. It’s a place to be honest with and about yourself. My favourite bits are the morning thoughts and notes, the mini challenges and wish lists. This planner is friend to check in with and in a busy world give myself time to think how I am doing and where I want to be.

My absolute must have! I love the aesthetics of the cover. But I’m even more obsessed with the inside of the journal. It has everything I need from energy tracking to writing down my thoughts.

The planner is beautifully presented and its simple but organised structure makes it really helpful for writing my thoughts, daily intentions, and gratitude, and it only takes a few minutes! Now, instead of waking up and checking my phone, I write in my planner, plan my day and reflect. I do the same thing at nighttime to wind down. I also treat it like a journal 😊 It’s really pretty and nice to have on the coffee table because the colour is great and it’s so stylish! Highly recommend.

After 15 years in the corporate world, I found myself constantly managing life instead of really living it.

I realised I didn't need another planner or another system to keep up with.

What I actually needed was a different relationship with my days. So I designed the planner I wished I'd had - one that cared as much about how my days felt as what I got done.

Why I created Dare

Create space to think clearly

This planner gives you headspace before it gives you structure. Clarity always comes before progress.

Stay consistent and watch the magic happen

Consistency is not about willpower. It is about having something worth coming back to every day. That is what Dare is designed to be.

A full life, not just a full schedule

Life isn't just a to-do list. You weren’t meant to just check off tasks, push through burnout and hope for the best. This planner makes room for the things that actually matter: your energy, your relationships, your joy, your rest.

Starts with you

Most planners ask what you need to do. Dare asks how you're doing first.

Reduces mental load

Your brain wasn't designed to remember everything. Give your thoughts somewhere to land.

Built for real life

Miss a day? Just turn the page. No guilt. No perfection required.

Frequently asked questions

What makes this planner different from others?

Most planners start with your tasks. This one starts with you.

Dare planner brings your ambition and your wellbeing into the same daily practice, without overwhelming you. Everything you need to clear your head, show up for your goals and still have space left for yourself. All in one place, all in around 15 minutes a day.

What practices are included in the planner?

The daily page draws on real psychology and habits research: brain dumping to clear mental clutter, time-blocking for focus, the rule of three priorities to cut overwhelm, gratitude practice, habit tracking and an evening wind-down ritual. Not because they are trendy, but because they genuinely work when they are simple enough to use every day.

How does the planner help with procrastination?

Procrastination is rarely about laziness. It is usually about feeling overwhelmed or not knowing where to start. The daily page makes that easier - a brain dump to clear the noise, three priorities so you know exactly what matters today, and time-blocking so there is a place for everything. Small enough to begin and structured enough to build momentum.

What is the morning brain dump for?

It is the most underrated five minutes of your day. Writing down whatever is in your head before you plan anything else clears the mental clutter that makes everything feel harder than it needs to be. You start the day from a calmer place. Everything else flows better from there.

Can this planner help with feeling more balanced?

That is exactly what it is designed for. The planner makes room for your work, your goals and your life - all in the same daily practice. The wellbeing section means you never plan your day without checking in with yourself first. Social connection, rest, small joys - they are all built in, not bolted on as an afterthought.

How does the planner help support goals?

By breaking big goals into small daily actions and giving you a consistent place to come back to every morning. Progress is not about dramatic effort. It is about showing up for the small things consistently. The planner makes that easier, and it reminds you to notice the wins along the way, not just the finish line.

Is the planner suitable for someone with an irregular schedule?

Yes, the planner is designed to be flexible and adaptable to various lifestyles, including those with irregular schedules. The time-blocking feature allows you to assign tasks according to your unique timetable, and with space for brain dumping and prioritising, you'll find it easier to stay organised and focused no matter how your day unfolds.

How do social life prompts work in the planner?

Our planner includes prompts to encourage meaningful time with loved ones, ensuring your social life doesn’t take a backseat. These prompts are designed to remind you to connect with friends and family, helping you build and maintain strong relationships. By planning social activities, you can create a fulfilling life that balances work, personal time, and social connections.

What is habit stacking?

It is the practice of attaching a new habit to something you already do - so it becomes automatic rather than effortful. James Clear popularised it in Atomic Habits. The Dare planner gives you a simple daily framework to practise it without needing to think too hard about it.

What kind of personal lists can I create in the planner?

The planner has dedicated space for the things that make life worth living: books to read, films to watch, restaurants to try, recipes to make, podcasts to explore, places to go. Plus holiday planning and special occasions. A life well-lived is not just about what you get done, it's about making room for the things that light you up too.

Wellbeing isn't the reward for ambition. It's where ambition begins.
