A Book'd woman is always two steps ahead. Know what's on the horizon with the yearly overview calendars for 2023 and 2024.
Thirty-one (sometimes paid) reasons to celebrate. Enough said.
This feature, exclusive to our Book'd & Busy woman, is a treasure chest of literary resources written by business, marketing, and self-help gurus.
Inspired by the desire to progress, this section is for you to seriously consider and log your overarching personal and professional goals for the year. Let these goals shape your monthly goals, weekly tasks, and daily actions. The 2023 goals worksheet is paired with the Book'd & Balanced Goal Wheel to help further refine the elements of a well-rounded and fulfilling life.
We're all about you living your best life, and what better way to seize the day than with a yearly bucket list? Name everything you want to do this year: take that trip, move across the country, or pick up a hobby. Challenge yourself to step up and step out this year!
As Oprah Winfrey famously stated: “Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe.” This is your chance to not only create the vision, but to hold it near and dear throughout the year.
Capture your brand's mood: the colors you like, the fonts in which you communicate, your logo, and brand inspiration.
Use this worksheet to document the essentials of building a brand. What does your brand look like, what does it represent, and who is it for? Map out your brand to a tee.
Mind your business. Literally. Use the yearly business analytics tracker to keep tabs on your income & expenses and marketing efforts to make sure you finish your year the way you start: boss!
Here's where you map out your plan of attack- what you want to achieve and how you'll achieve it. Name how you want to end the quarter and you're halfway there.
Look back at it. Literally. Take some time to assess what worked and what didn't. If it worked, take it to the next level. If it didn't, take it back to the drawing board.
Your 2023 Book'd & Busy Planner is LOADED with everything you need to have a successful Book'd, busy, & balanced year.
Twelve varieties of #BlackGirlMagic for every month of the year. Inspired by the prevailing season, each of our monthly images is a major mood to set the tone for the four weeks to come. The artwork was created by Patrick of Paco May Illustrations.
Don't lie to yourself. You won't remember it. Just use these 2 handy notes pages per month to jot down things that you'll need to stay on top of. You'll be glad you did. Trust us. (P.S. There's some bonus note pages in the very back.)
Get all of your ducks in a row at the start of the month. Payday. Check. Your company conference. Get that blazer out of the cleaners. Your bestie's birthday. Noted. That trip to Zanzibar? Take us with you! Plus we included a spot to plan out your hairstyles. Because, we know.
Just like the monthly calendar- but for all of your socials. Plan out your social media posts a month at a time with the social media calendar to keep your Insta aligned.
Use this page to map out your monthly goals, and then use your weekly big & little rocks to break these goals down into smaller, actionable steps.
The “strictly financial” budget is your place to stay in charge of your finances. Keep a birds-eye view on your coins by tracking your monthly income and expenses. This page is organized by pay period (two per month).
Meal prep just got ten times easier. Grocery shop in style with your weekly grocery list and meal planner. Put it on your list, and then your basket. Pro tip: Tear this sheet out and take it with you on your grocery runs.
Big Rocks are the big tasks that you need to take on for the week, while the Little Rocks are the smaller tasks that take less time or effort. Tackle them in any order you want, just be sure to get them done!
The weekly Spiritual Growth, Physical Activity, Self-Care, and the Call, Email, Follow-Up Sections serve as spaces to list the activities/ intentions that will help you maintain balance throughout your week.
The weekly maintenance is a section dedicated to the things that often fall to the wayside. Keep your home life, money life, tribe life, and self-love life on the up and up by completing the weekly maintenance task for the week.
This is where all the magic happens. Everyday. Show up. Give it your all. Wake up early. Break a sweat. Double check yourself. Challenge ideas. Push yourself. Follow-up. Do something the long way. Say nice things to yourself. Stay late, but stay balanced. Express gratitude. Repeat.
The daily pages are sprinkled with powerful reminders hinged around our favorite kind of excellence- of the black variety.
