Personal Planner

About

Personal Planner was started by Anders Lundberg in 2006.

My wife Paula needed a new planner to keep track of her studies, but after many a trip to the shops she came home whining... "There's only boring planners out there!"

In that moment an idea was born, the idea that was to become the Personal Planner. Having worked in the graphic design industry for 10 years and amused myself developing my own inventions in my spare time, the challenge was too great to resist.

A week later it was ready, a surprise for my wife which went down a storm! A square planner with her name on the cover, a whole year with a colourful 2-page spread for each week, and other clever little extras that you can't find anywhere else. It was a complete success.

And so, on the night of Friday 28th March, personal-planner was live online and Paula wrote a post about it on her blog. With that, the wheels were in motion.

That weekend was one of the craziest things I've ever experienced. Word about the personalised planner spread like a wildfire in the blogosphere and pictures of my planner were popping up everywhere.

Another few years have past and thousands of personalised planners have found their homes. But we'll have to wait and see; perhaps panic has a new face this year?
