How to Use Our Planner Pages
My Year Ahead
The first section of the Rainbow Vision planner has been expanded and improved! Divided into 3 parts, it's like a mini visioning and self-development workshop at your fingertips. While many of us like to dive head first into our brand new year, I've gone deeper with this section in order to help bring your best self and most important ideas to the forefront. We can get lost in lots of tedious tasks that make us feel like we're getting something done but if it's for a goal that doesn't feel right.... then we're off track.
My Personal Guide
When it comes to pursuing our dreams, we all need a little guidance. The personal guide section is meant to help you envision a version of yourself that you're learning to step into. Think of it as your fairy godmother, your highest self, your archetypal twin... It's the energy that's asking to come to the surface this year. Dive into this exercise and get clear on what wisdom your guide has in store for you.
A space for business owners
Another addition to the planner is a section dedicated to helping small business owners brainstorm. Using the insights gained from the previous My Year Head and Personal Guide sections, creative movers and shakers can hone in on their unique strengths and bring them to the forefront of their business practices.
My Month Ahead
A wide angle lens of your month. While time doesn't simply start over at the beginning of a new month, week, or year, there is a certain calm that can come from taking a moment to pause. There is peace in knowing that we can always choose our behaviors, how we want to feel, and decide what hasn't been working out too well. Each month hosts this sheet where you listen to your gut and jot down what comes up. Some months may be more ambitious than others, and you won't always feel the need to spend lots of time formulating new goals. Sometimes it's just a quick "whatever comes to mind first" kind of time. Sometimes it's a "let's get this sh*t done" sort of time.
My Week Ahead
My dream of the week: What is the feeling, goal, or dream you have for this week? What word or phrase do you want to encapsulate your experience?
Time to let go of: Resentments, guilt, obsessions, neediness. What are you holding onto that is prohibiting you from moving forward? What can you let go of that will help strengthen your intention for this week?
Focus on: What are the pertinent tasks for the week? Write them all down here and then delegate them to the appropriate days on the adjacent week view page (not pictured)
Get in touch with: Folks that you need to call, email, text, or check in with. Perhaps you're on that list as well?
Money stuff: Anything to do with money or the exchange of resources. Think bills, pending income, barters and trades, investments, money questions such as "how the heck am I supposed to use this stuff", etc.
Projects
The purpose of the Project sheets is to help offer some structure to those bigger projects of the year. Perhaps you’re starting a new business, or you simply want a place to track your personal health goals. Sometimes when we have larger project goals that have multiple phases we can get overwhelmed. This is a zone where you can break that big ol’ project idea down into parts that are attainable and focus more on each part.
Milestones: Are the major phases or parts of your project that must be completed in order to finish the full project. The circles are check mark boxes where you can mark each milestone off as you go.
I’ve included one line for the title of your milestone and then a bulleted list where you can break up that milestone into smaller tasks. There is a space to write in the date of when each milestone needs to be completed so that you can stay on track. Creating time restraints can do wonders for the wild creative mind! Deadlines (even if somewhat flexible) can be your friend.

FAQs
Our limited edition dated planners are released once a year. The dated, 13 month planner includes December-January of the following year.
Preorders for the dated planner are typically available by October.
We also offer undated planners featuring the same layout as the dated version, but instead you write in your own dates. Undated planners are offered year round.
Rainbow Vision designs all products at our home warehouse in Atlanta, Georgia. We work with a variety of printing and book binding manufacturers in the United States for the production of all of our books. For the sanctity of proprietary information we do not disclose sensitive vendor information.
Our undated planners do not have any dates for the year so that you can fill in dates as you go. They do feature a list of major holidays for the current year and following year, as well as moon phases. These lists are located at the front of the planner as a reference.
Undated planners are great for those who want to start a new planner anytime they want, don't use a planner traditionally, or don't want to feel like they've wasted space in their planner if they only need it for certain times.
At Rainbow Vision we are always working on our environmental impact. While being "green" is not a perfect science we are very conscious of where our products are produced and how much we are leaving behind after our items are used and discarded. Here are some ways in which we are trying to do better:
We are partnered with One Tree Planted to plant one tree for every order we receive.
Rainbow Vision planners, journals, notebooks, cards, envelopes, and their backing cards are all totally recyclable (yep, even the front and back covers of the planners and journals!), or compostable. Simply remove the wire coil (made from steel) from your journal or planner and recycle with your paper trash or cut up to add to your household compost heap.
The printer we work with for our journals and planners often uses leftover paper from the mills that would otherwise have gone to a landfill.
Our shipping boxes are all made from 100% recycled cardboard produced by Pratt Plus who has excellent sustainability practices and who have been dedicated to minimal environmental impact for over 30 years.
We only ship our orders once a week in order to help minimize our carbon footprint.
The cellophane sleeves our greeting cards are packaged in are made of a plant-based material and are 100% compostable.
We are always exploring new options to make Rainbow Vision products and processes as sustainable as possible. Any suggestions and ideas on how we can improve in that regard are always welcome!
Because we do not print our books in house we cannot take custom orders for individual planners, notebooks, or journals.
If you are looking to do a collaboration on a large order of notebooks, journals or the like (500 units +) please reach out to us at hello@therainbowvision.com with the details of your project idea and we will be in touch if it sounds like a good fit!
