The Bather Planner

A six-month, undated planner designed for creatives

Welcome to The Bather Planner

This planner was designed for women who make things, and who want to stay connected to that work over a long creative life.

You’ve probably learned a great deal about your individual field over the years. But very few of us are taught how creativity actually works—or how to build a life that supports it.

The Bather Method grew from that gap. It’s rooted in the psychology of creativity, and shaped by creative women’s lived experiences—our real, messy, in-the-midst-of-everything creative lives.

Unlike most planners, The Bather Planner does not revolve around the calendar. Instead, it revolves around your creative life.

There are no hourly grids here. No time blocks. No pressure to account for every minute. Instead, you’ll find a weekly rhythm—a place to review your creative goals, choose a few meaningful creative actions, care for your mental health, and reflect on the best parts of each day.

Since this is not a typical planner, I recommend watching the tutorial on how the planner works so you can get the most out of it. (You can find it below.)

May this planner help you return to yourself and your work, again and again.

I’m so glad you’re here.
