Why Customize?
If you’ve been with us for a while, you probably know that the idea for Golden Coil came from the search for the perfect planner for our mom, Amy Zemp. With seven kids in the house, she had a lot of schedules to coordinate, so in addition to a huge color-coded wall calendar in the kitchen, she also carried a planner with her. Planning has always been important for her and we know that her success came from having the right tools available to her.
We know the same applies to many women and that each of them have different needs and planning preferences. And because finding the right planning tools to fit every person can be difficult, we believe a customized planner can be a game changer for just about anyone. There’s so much to keep track of in our daily lives and everyone needs their planner to work with them, not against them. When you can create a planner with a layout and supporting pages that streamlines your planning process, your ability to succeed at your tasks and goals is made so much simpler.
Plus, having a customized planner ensures more productivity! The right layout really can make all the difference, especially since planning on paper is such a visual process. When you can see your week laid out in front of you in a way that makes the most sense to your brain, you’ll spend less time getting lost in your lists and more time crossing things off. And because you can customize your planner for your needs, you’ll be maximizing your investment. Instead of spending money on a planner that kind of works for you, you’ll get the most out of every single page.
We also believe a customized planner can make your life easier simply by helping you put everything in one place. Before we started Golden Coil, we had multiple notebooks floating around our workspaces. But because our planners have a wide range of options for extra pages, you can combine all of your lists and notebooks in one place. Add pages for budgeting, meal planning, mental and physical health, project planning, journaling, list-keeping—there really are SO many options!
In addition to the benefits of customizing a planner, the high quality of our Golden Coil planners means they’re built to last. The covers are durable and the paper is luxurious and archival, which not only means your planner will hold up all year—it means your planner can become a lasting piece of your history. Whether you intend to or not, you tell the story of your life in your planner. We can’t think of many other items in our family history that paint such a clear picture of the hard work and loving care of our mother than her planners full of notes, lists, and schedules showing everything she did for our family growing up. To us, those planners are priceless. This is why we do what we do—we believe every woman should have a planner that fits her life and tells her story.
