Hey planner friend, I'm Heather. The founder & Chief Planning Officer here at Sprouted Planner.
If you would have asked me what I'd be spending my 30s doing, it certainly wouldn't have been "making planners." But you know how the story goes:
Girl meets planner in college...
Girl falls in love with planners...
Girl thinks she found the planner of her dreams...
Planner falls short in her time of need...
Girl creates her own planner...
Classic.

After having my first baby, I was having a hard time adjusting. When it finally started clicking, my dad was diagnosed with ALS and it felt like my world came crashing down. You see, my dad was one of my favorite people, and we've always had a very special bond. So, this 2-5 year death sentence was earth shattering.
On top of it all, I went back to work, moved, bought a house, and moved again. All of this within 10 months. It was hard keeping my head above water.

My dad died 2 years after his diagnosis, and is the hardest thing I have been through.
The planner I had during that time did not serve me well since I wasn't goal setting, or tracking habits, or keeping count of how much water I consumed in the day. There is nothing wrong with those things, but I had zero capacity to do them.
Even having them on the page added to the overwhelm.

After going through life changing events, I learned what was truly important:
BEING INTENTIONAL, TAKING THE TIME TO REFLECT, SIMPLE SPACES, and PEOPLE.
Knowing there are so many others out there who need a minimal yet meaningful planner, I created the Sprouted Planner.
Its name was inspired by the Jack Kornfield quote: "Be mindful of intention. Intention is the seed that creates our future."

Every planner is made to serve you in any season of life.
While the prep pages help to name what and who matter, the planning layouts are minimal and unlabeled so you can plan in a way that makes sense you. No death by water tracking here.
Our signature planners (Daily, Weekly, and Hourly) are rooted in the four pillars of Sprouted Planner: Intention, Reflection, Simplicity, and People.
