Dear Woman:

We know that you’re ready to win your new school year! It will be a busy year for you as you strive to maximize your year by maxing out your days! You have a ton on your plate, but now you have a secret weapon that will help you manage the complexities of your day-to-day life, helping you stay Book’d & Balanced. You’re a winner, and this planner is a special tool that was carefully crafted to help you win.

If you’re reading this letter, it means you’re invested in taking ownership of your time, sowing into your mental real estate, and increasing your knowledge. Life is a continuous climb to make ourselves, our families, our schools, our campuses, and ultimately, our world, better. We aren’t perfect, but we are winners because we will never stop. We are relentless about growing into our purpose and launching others into theirs. And with a lot of intention, a lot of planning, and a lot of prayer, this school year will move us closer to realizing those dreams. Are you ready? We are too.

At Book'd, we have a few simple philosophies:

We believe in treating each day as a precious date with destiny- meaning missed opportunities are not taken lightly. We want you to be prepared, because your dream life requires your A-game.

We believe in living in the moment, but growing from the past, and strategizing for the future. Your Book'd planner was designed to not only help you manage the challenges of life, but do so with style and grace.

Last but not least- we're all about the details, and more specifically, we're all about your details. Your planner was created with you in mind- your unique needs, your unique schedule and lifestyle, and your unique priorities and responsibilities. We wanted to give you our best, because the world needs your best. Your planner is your highly customized roadmap to living a Book'd & Balanced life.

Whether you think you have enough money, resources, or support to get your plans off the ground, we want you to understand that you have an abundance of the most important resource- time. Your Book'd planner was created to help you use your time intentionally, and use each precious day as a stepping stone to ascend toward your dreams.

As you strive for excellence, your 2023-2024 Book'd Academic Planner is your perfect companion.
