When Rachael Werner, a busy mom of three, couldn’t find a planner to suit her style of planning she decided to create it. Inspired by her grandmother’s love of list making, Rachael envisioned a planner layout that was very different from the traditional planners on the market. She wanted a planner where your to-do list could be “sprinkled into the cracks of life” and not be your entire life. A place to be intentional with your time and focus on what matters. So the “spaces way” of planning was born.

After sharing her unique style of planning with friends, Rachael created the first spiral bound Spaces Planner for the 2019 calendar year. Since then, it has grown in popularity among those looking for something a bit less structured. The weekly layout is designed with a combination of boxes or spaces that can be used for various lists and areas of life you need to focus on.  These spaces allow for a more flexible way of planning which can be switched up each week, if needed, to work for you. A few of the spaces are labeled with intentional categories, like relationship, housework, errands, health and personal while others are completely open for interpretation by the user.

We spoke to Rachael to learn more about the Spaces approach to planning, her journey as a business owner and all the exciting new products launching for 2022. Take a listen to our chat below:

2022 PLANNERS

For 2022, there are three beautiful new cover designs for the Spaces Planner including Modern Abstract, Elegant Floral and Classic Black. Each theme is carried out throughout the pages of the planner on the monthly headers and interior divider pages. The planners are dated for 12 month calendar year (January 2022 – December 2022) with additional blank spaces layouts for “Big Plans” plus a lined notes section and back pocket folder. The planners are hard cover with wire-o coil binding in a non-traditional size (8 3/4 x 9 3/4) with 120 gsm paper.

SPACES INTERIOR LAYOUT

NOTES & SPACES 

An exciting new product coming for 2022 is called Notes & Spaces. This product goes beyond your traditional notebook and is designed to be a companion to your Space Planner, or any planner.  It has three sections which are exactly what is says, a combination of notes and spaces. Section one features a condensed spaces layout, section two is lined notes pages and section three is dot grid pages. The book is coil bound with a firm cover, a back pocket folder and 100 gsm paper with two floral cover designs (soft rose and simple stems).

STICKER BOOKS 

Also new for 2022 are the first ever, Spaces Planner Sticker Books. A highly requested product from Spaces Planner users. The open interior spreads in the planner really are a blank canvas to get creative, make the planner your own and what better way to do that then with stickers! There are two different design themes (Modern Abstract and Floral) to compliment the planners. Each book has over 480 stickers with a combination of decorative and functional styles. Of course,  if the stickers are popular, you can expect more to come in the future!
