How I Created a Self-Published Planner in 72 Hours
This week, I launched my second self-published work, The Thriving Life Planner. It was a work that I wasn’t planning on doing this year and in fact, only had it as an idea about a month ago. But then, I got a cold with a terrible cough which would keep me up at night.
In the middle of the night during November, I would write down ideas and play with timelines and outlines to keep my mind on my body’s need to cough uncontrollably. And then, one night, it came to me. It was time to create a planner that did everything I wanted it to do.
The Thriving Life Planner was born.
What I wanted in a planner was a place for my life plan, annual goals and monthly goals, annual and monthly calendars, and daily pages to help me achieve these goals. And I didn’t want to pay $50 for it every quarter like I had been doing.
That is exactly what I created. You can find it here.
How did I go from idea to proof product in 72 hours?
Before we go any further, I want you to know something. I decided that if I was going to pursue creating this as a product that I didn’t want to spend any more than a week creating it. Maybe two weeks if getting a proof back took longer.
