What's included

Put yourself back on your own list.

If you are the person who plans everything for everyone else, your planner is full of other people's needs and there is no page with your name on it. The Self Care Kit is a notebook that is chosen for you, not for your to-do list: a place to clear your head, collect what moves you, keep track of what you read, and write, plan or draw freely.

Pre-order: this kit ships about December 10, 2026. Free shipping on US orders of $75 or more.

Disc-bound, lies flat 360°Undated and refillableCream 90gsm paper, fountain-pen friendly90-day returns

Everything you need to start

A Brain Dump page to get everything on your mind out in one go and sort it into four boxes. Inspiration pages for quotes, ideas and your own reflection on each. A Reading List for what you are reading, what you finished and what is next. Then three kinds of free pages in one book: ruled for writing, dotted for planning and sketching, blank for drawing and collage. Five tabs split it into sections that are yours.

A setup you can customize over time

Everything in this kit is undated, so there is no schedule to fall behind on and no guilt about the blank week. Pages lift off the discs: move your favorite entries to the front, take out a page you want to keep somewhere else, or add more ruled, dotted or blank refills when you fill them. The book grows the way you do.

The system behind the pages

Your Perfect Notebook already includes the Big Blocks Dashboards in three layouts, the Daily Task Manager and the Reflection Page. You can ignore all of them, or use only the personal layout of the dashboard: one or two goals that are only about you, with one small step each. The Reflection Page, printed on the back of the dashboard, is a quiet place to notice what you did and how it felt.

Why the kit, and not just the notebook

  • It is chosen for you, not for your to-do list. Brain Dump, Inspiration, Reading List and three kinds of free pages are the kit. There is no schedule in it to feel behind on.
  • Three page types in one order. Ruled, dotted and blank live in the same book, so you can switch between writing, planning and drawing without switching notebooks.
  • Small entries count. One quote, one book title, one line. The pages are designed to be filled a little at a time.
  • Screen-free. A quiet, private place to think that does not notify you, track you or need charging.
  • Ready on arrival. Open the box, set up the discs and begin. There is nothing to configure.

A week with the Self Care Kit

  1. Whenever your head is full. Do a Brain Dump page, then sort it into To Do, Ideas, Remember and Follow Up.
  2. A few times a week. Add to the Reading List or an Inspiration page. Keep it small: one entry counts.
  3. Whenever you want. Use the ruled, dotted or blank pages to journal, plan or doodle. There are no rules about what belongs on them.
  4. Once a month. Flip back through the book and move what matters into a new section.

Who it is for, and who it is not for

It is for

  • Anyone whose planner is full of other people's needs.
  • Readers and journalers who want pages that fit how they think: ruled, dotted or blank.
  • People who want a quiet, screen-free place to think, collect and imagine.
  • Anyone who has bought a beautiful notebook and not dared to write in it.

It is probably not for

  • This is not a scheduling kit. If you need a calendar, goal tracking and project pages, look at the Work, Entrepreneur or Planner kits.

Made to be used, and refilled

The Perfect Notebook is a B5 notebook on cream 90gsm paper that is friendly to fountain pens, with rounded corners and 11 aircraft-grade aluminum discs. Pages lift off the discs and go back on, so the book is something you keep and refill rather than finish and throw away.

A gift for someone you care about

A gift for someone who gives everything to everyone else: not another planner, but a notebook with nothing to be behind on.

Made for the person who runs everything but has no page of her own

The Self Care Kit is for anyone who plans the household, the team or the family and would like one place in their life that is just theirs.

What's inside

Everything in the kit, and what each piece does.

The Perfect Notebook

The Perfect Notebook

The B5 disc-bound notebook that holds everything else. Pages lift on and off the discs, the book lies flat, and every page can be moved, added or replaced later.

The Perfect Notebook already includes its own method pages: the Big Blocks Dashboards (in three layouts), the Daily Task Manager pages and the Reflection Page, which is printed on the back of the dashboard.

The system behind the pages

What you start with

A Brain Dump page to get everything on your mind out in one go and sort it into four boxes. Inspiration pages for quotes, ideas and your own reflection on each. A Reading List for what you are reading, what you finished and what is next. Then three kinds of free pages in one book: ruled for writing, dotted for planning and sketching, blank for drawing and collage. Five tabs split it into sections that are yours.

The method already in your notebook

Your Perfect Notebook already includes the Big Blocks Dashboards in three layouts, the Daily Task Manager and the Reflection Page. You can ignore all of them, or use only the personal layout of the dashboard: one or two goals that are only about you, with one small step each. The Reflection Page, printed on the back of the dashboard, is a quiet place to notice what you did and how it felt.

A setup you can customize

Everything in this kit is undated, so there is no schedule to fall behind on and no guilt about the blank week. Pages lift off the discs: move your favorite entries to the front, take out a page you want to keep somewhere else, or add more ruled, dotted or blank refills when you fill them. The book grows the way you do.

The Icons Method — how progress tracking works

Every Big Block category has its own symbol — the sword in the stone for professional goals, the pinwheel for fun & recreation, the heart for relationships, the racket for body time, the sprout for personal growth, and the crossed tools for skill building. They appear in two places: at the top of every Daily Task Manager page, and in rows of ten under every goal on the Big Blocks Dashboard.

Step 1 — the daily page

Step 1 — the daily page

In the morning, circle the icons of the one or two goals you really want to advance today — not all six. That circle is a commitment. Then, during the day, colour the icon the moment you finish the step — the small, immediate reward for a step actually taken.

Step 2 — the dashboard

Step 2 — the dashboard

Colour one icon in the row under the matching goal for each real step you took — only on the day you did it, never from memory. The empty icons are the point: three empty icons mean three days you did nothing on that subject. That's information, not decoration.

Reading the rows

Reading the rows

Rows that fill quickly show where your energy naturally flows. Rows that stay empty are the method's most valuable output — a mid-cycle signal while there's still time to act. Ten is not the target; it's room to grow. See the full icon language →

Why the kit, not just the notebook

It is chosen for you, not for your to-do list.

Brain Dump, Inspiration, Reading List and three kinds of free pages are the kit. There is no schedule in it to feel behind on.

Three page types in one order.

Ruled, dotted and blank live in the same book, so you can switch between writing, planning and drawing without switching notebooks.

Small entries count.

One quote, one book title, one line. The pages are designed to be filled a little at a time.

Screen-free.

A quiet, private place to think that does not notify you, track you or need charging.

Ready on arrival.

Open the box, set up the discs and begin. There is nothing to configure.
