A planner for writers that helps you set boundaries so you can write more often.

What if you could find more time to write WITHOUT quitting your day job and typing frantically until the money runs out? 

It's exhausting to have big dreams in a society that wants us to stay in a tiny box of slaving for billionaires. 

We learned some ways to make it work through years of struggle and trial and error.

The Essential Planner is a system we developed to help us write while juggling day jobs, school, and life demands. We hope it'll help you do the same!

You keep saying you'll write tomorrow...

You add it to your to-do list, along with eight other things.

And every day, it stays there. You never cross it off. You just keep adding it to the next day and the day after that...

No matter how much you tell yourself you'll try harder to write, you never do.

Find more time to write.

If trying harder worked, you'd have published a dozen books by now.

If adding "write" to your to-do list was enough, you'd be pounding out words daily.

Unfortunately, our society makes little room for creativity. So, we need to carve out time with thoughtful planning and strict boundaries.

The Essential Planner for Writers helps you do that with a simple system I learned while balancing writing with a day job.

I wrote over twenty novels while working a day job with untreated ADHD.

Hi, Eva Delaney here. I learned the hard way that balancing creativity with life required constant re-focusing on what I loved, saying no, and accepting that the perfect time to write didn't exist.

I went looking for a planner to help me do all that. Most planners focus on to-do lists, but I needed space to remind myself of my dreams and to cut out the things that pulled me away.

So, I created The Essential Life Planner for Writers.

FAQ

How can I find time to write with a busy life?

It's not easy when our society undervalues creativity (as well as anything that's not currently making money for billionaires).

One thing you can do is find ways to prioritize writing and to cut out non-essential activities that eat up your time and energy. The Essential Life Planner helps you do that.

Most planners focus on long lists of what you need to do. This one focuses on making that list shorter and concentrate your energy on writing.

How is this different from other planners?

It was designed by a busy writer for other busy writers!

I spent years writing, editing, and publishing fantasy/sci-fi books while working soul-crushing and energy-sucking day jobs.

The Essential Life Planner for Writers is based on the tricks I used to balance writing with life's demands.

The planner helps you focus on your passion and set boundaries so you have a bit of time each day to write.
