With so much gratitude, a lot of tears, and peace in my heart.

4 more hours until this chapter is closed. - Beka

I'm going to go cry for a minute. I appreciate each and every one of you more than you know. Thank you for loving these products I created as much as I do.

The 12 days of chaos or something.

We are closing. Here's the story.

Last day to order is this Friday at 5pm.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share an update about Beka. After a month of medical testing, we found out that her cancer has returned. She’ll be starting daily radiation treatments again next week for about 6–8 weeks.

She’s doing okay and staying strong, but she’ll be stepping back from social media again for a while to focus on treatment and rest. She’ll still be working, just with a bit more flexibility to work from home when she needs to, and her team has been really supportive.

We’re taking things one day at a time and focusing on what’s ahead. We’d appreciate some privacy while she goes through this next round, but we’ll share updates when we can.

Thank you all for the love, support, and prayers, it truly means so much to us both. ❤️

POV: you can’t ‘just do the thing’ because your brain requires seventeen mini-quests first.

Task chunking is the only reason I get anything done.
“Just update the whiteboard” somehow turns into: find the markers → erase last week’s chaos → rewrite the dates → relocate that one sticky note from the void → question every life choice.

It’s not overthinking...it’s neurodivergent strategy.

Now I’m curious, what’s your “simple” task that secretly has 10 hidden steps?
Drop it in the comments so we can normalize that chaos together 🖤

☕✨ “Stop being a bully and have some glitter.” ✨☕

Who knew the coffee mug I designed 4 years ago would still be so comforting today 🤣

Here’s the thing: surviving cancer taught me my body is not up for public debate. Add ADHD + RSD into the mix, and every nasty comment hits like a highlighter across a blank page. 🙃 It has made it really hard to want to come back to social media...

But instead of letting bullies derail me, I pour that chaos into making planners that actually get neurodivergent brains. Because honestly? Organization and glitter are way more powerful than unsolicited opinions.

So yeah, sip your tea, stop body shaming, and maybe plan your own life instead of critiquing mine. 😉

Hi everyone, just wanted to share that my dad recently passed away. We’re all adjusting to this new normal.

It’s a bittersweet mix of grief and a little dark humor helping us cope. Thanks so much for your support and understanding during this time.

If you need us, we'll be around... somewhere between processing and making a few dark jokes to get through it.

Thanks - Nick (Beka is still logged out of most social media so....I hope you're hungry... for NOTHING)

Due to a family emergency, orders placed yesterday and today will be fulfilled on Monday.

Thank you for your patience and understanding ❤️

I created a coding system for my pen sets, tracking them in both my swatch book and an Excel sheet, complete with links, purchase dates, and end of use dates. Because order is life 😆

How do you guys keep track of your planner supplies?!

Putting the “fun” in functional planning videos 😂🤔

Don’t tell Beka I put that horrible pun on our business page please.

Trying something new this month! I’m editing the voice overs for Beka’s planner videos.

Let me know your thoughts and enjoy the new video!

- Nick

This month our Plan With Me Video is edited and posted by yours truly, the lowly packing boy…Don’t like it? Don’t comment 🤔 I’m putting the FUN in functiona...

Insomnia: 1, Me: 0. Rolling into this Tuesday like a zombie with a massive to-do list, BUT at least I only have two meetings today 🙌. Honestly, this is where my planner saves the day—having my layout ready to go is like a cozy brain hug. Systems, people. They matter.

The real betrayal, though? Eating yogurt with a FORK because I didn’t check the dishwasher situation last night. Safe food? Ruined. Trust? Broken. Send coffee and spoons. ☕️

Can I just say I LOVE when yall ask me questions that let me nerd about why I love to use something or why something is designed a particular way?!

Last night on live, Ashley asked about gel highlighters, and I couldn’t wait to share my current obsession with Mr. Pen Gel Highlighters!

Full post (and video coming soon 🎨) is already out on Patreon…

Hey Mr. Pen…. What does a girl got to do to get sponsored 😂
