How I designed and created a planner book from scratch (and sold 90 in the first week)
*(Author’s note — this is an article I am re-sharing from a couple of years ago).
A few years back, I wrote an article that went viral.
When (name drop alert) Ariana Huffington shared it to her six million LinkedIn followers, I was struck at how far my own seemingly humble ideas could spread.
My article detailed the daily questions (see them at the end) I would ask myself each morning to help me focus on the things that matter. To give me direction.
Those daily questions shown in the completed planner
After years of being frustrated with my progress and stunted productivity, I had to make a change. Answering these questions every day was the solution I was looking for.
The focus they gave me was dramatic.
They resonated with readers too. As a self-employed content-maker, I’m always on the lookout for ways to increase my income, and making a product out of those daily questions seemed like a good idea.
