The Mindful Musician's

Daily Planner

Let’s be real: most planners are either too basic… or way too much.

I didn’t need a glorified to-do list. And I definitely didn’t need a full-blown therapy session with every page. I just wanted a planner that got me - a creative brain with 47 tabs open at all times, big dreams, and a business to run.

So I made one.

During my five years teaching music business to college students, I started building this planner with them, week by week. Together, we tested what worked (and what didn’t), until we landed on something that stuck: a tool that blends 5-minute journaling with practical, get-it-done strategy.

Not fluffy. Not rigid. Just clear, supportive structure that meets you where you are - and helps you move forward.

Whether you’re juggling tour dates, day jobs, grant deadlines, or creative bursts at 3am, this planner will help you keep your head on straight and your momentum strong.

It’s part journal, part project manager, part accountability buddy.

It’s built for artists.

It’s built for you.

For Artists Who Want to Stay Grounded While Reaching Higher

This isn’t just a planner. It’s a creative companion - designed for musicians, songwriters, and artists who want to stay on track without burning out.

You’ve got a lot going on. Shows to play, clients to manage, songs to finish, gear to fix, dreams to chase. It’s easy to fall into autopilot - checking boxes, spinning plates, pushing through without stopping to ask: Am I okay? Am I aligned?

This planner is here to help you pause with purpose.

It blends classic scheduling tools with bite-sized check-ins for your body, mind, and spirit - so you can reconnect to your why while managing your when and how.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • A daily layout that helps you filter noise from priority

  • Gentle prompts to help you check in with your energy, needs, and creative drive

  • A simple structure that supports your rhythm - not the other way around

No pressure. No perfection. Just a soft place to land - and launch.

Because when you’re grounded, rested, and clear, your creativity flows louder, stronger, and more true.
