Some people function just fine using a digital calendar such as Google Calendar or Apple Calendar, but most report that they stay on track better with a paper calendar. This is especially true for folks with anxiety, ADD/ADHD, or screen addiction. Plus, there are some unexpected bonuses, including feeling more calm, feeling more accomplished at the end of the day, keeping more agreements, and being less distracted. 

20 years ago, Briana and I could never have guessed that we’d someday be in the calendar business. But our dedication to wellness led us here. We realized that the things that define whole-life wellness – inner peace, healthy relationships, accomplishment, creative expression, prosperity, good habits, etc. – are greatly influenced by how we use our time and attention. 

To have the qualities mentioned above, we must consistently prioritize – and do – the things that feed us. There’s no way around it. But people are finding this increasingly difficult. Technology has given us some great gifts, but it has come at a high price. Maybe you’ve had that feeling (and pushed it away) when you’re in the company of loved ones . . . and you realize you’re all looking at screens instead of engaging with each other. We are overloaded with media and information, more anxious than ever before, and epidemically distracted. 

One of the main reasons people are returning to vinyl records is the recognition that it feels good to slow down and go deeper into the listening experience. The same benefits apply to using a paper daily planner, and this is especially true of ours – The Dreambook – which is designed to help you stay focused and to prioritize the things that have the biggest positive impact on your life. 

Rather than having one more reason to look at your phone – and likely get sucked in – you’re engaging with a physical book. True it’s a bigger thing to carry around, but it becomes a tangible anchor throughout your day. A place to express your creativity. A way to track your goals and positive habits. As thousands of users have told us, the Dreambook changes lives. 

Try it and see for yourself. 

Much love, 

Peter and Briana
