Free “That Girl” Planner — A Gentle Daily Reset for You

A few months ago, I realized something unusual: my planner was causing me stress.

It was meant to help, of course. But every time I opened it, I saw missed checkboxes, blank days, half-finished goals — as if a page could measure my worth. I wasn’t falling behind on life, but I felt like I was failing my planner.

A slower pace that felt more like me.

So I stopped using it. And after a while, I started building something else — a slower pace that felt more like me, without all the pressure. That’s how this That Girl Planner came to life.

It’s not about doing more. It’s about showing up with more presence.

Redefining "That Girl"

We’ve all seen the internet version of That Girl — the one who drinks green juice, wakes up at 5 am, and always seems effortlessly productive. For a while, I tried to copy that image. It didn’t work. And honestly, it didn’t feel like me.

To me, being that girl means something quieter.

It means taking care of yourself in small ways — not because you have to, but because it feels good. It’s choosing slowness over speed, reflection over reaction. It’s noticing your needs, even when life feels busy.

I created this planner for that version of you.

Now that you’ve had a peek inside, here’s a closer look at what’s included — and how you can make it your own.

Inside the Planner

The complete set includes 101 printable pages, designed in A4 size and delivered as a high-resolution PDF. You can print the entire set or use only the pages that resonate with you.

Here’s a general idea of what’s inside — though I’ve intentionally left room for interpretation because not every tool needs a label:

• Lightly structured daily pages to help you focus without overwhelm

• Gentle prompts for morning and evening reflections

• Space to check in with your habits, your mood, and your energy

• Open layouts for planning meals, setting intentions, or simply writing things down 

There are no rules here. Some days, I only use one page. Some weeks, I use none. This planner forgives the gaps and welcomes you back whenever you’re ready.

Why I Made It

I created this planner because I needed something softer. Something that didn’t make me feel like I was always behind. I wanted a space to write things down without pressure — just a quiet reminder to slow down and listen.

I also didn’t want anything overly designed. The layouts are clean and minimal, so they won’t distract from what matters most: your thoughts, your goals, your feelings.

You don’t need a perfect routine to use this. You don’t even need to fill in every box. All you need is a few moments — and maybe a pen.

How to Use This Planner

This planner was structured to be flexible — there’s no fixed method or perfect way to use it. Whether you’re someone who enjoys structure or you prefer a looser flow, you can adapt it to fit your lifestyle.

Here are a few ways to make it work for you:

Start with the Daily Page

Use this in the morning to set your top 3 priorities, sketch out your plans, and gently guide your focus. It’s a great way to begin the day with clarity rather than noise.

Track Habits and Moods Over Time

These pages are perfect for noticing patterns. You can use them to reflect on what’s helping you feel balanced — and what may benefit from refinement.

Check In Weekly

Use the weekly layouts to set a light focus for the week ahead. You don’t need to schedule every hour — just a theme or intention can go a long way.

Use Reflection Pages in the Evenings

At the end of the day or week, these pages give you a moment to slow down and acknowledge where your energy went — and what brought you joy.

Print What You Need, When You Need It

You don’t have to use all 101 pages. Select a few designs that resonate with you, and test them out to discover which format offers the most support.

This planner is here to help you reconnect — not to keep up. Let it be a gentle tool that works with your rhythm, not against it.

How I personally Use This Planner

I thought I’d share a little glimpse into how I use this planner day to day. It’s not a strict routine — just a few gentle ways I check in with myself and keep things feeling manageable.

Starting the Day Slowly

Most mornings, I sit down with the daily page before I dive into anything else. I take a minute to think about what I actually want out of the day — not just what needs to get done.

Sometimes I write three small intentions, like:

• “Stay off my phone before noon”

• “Take a real lunch break”

• “Notice how I’m feeling around 3 PM”

It’s rarely perfect, but that short pause helps me approach the day with more clarity instead of jumping straight into autopilot.

A Midday Moment

Around midday — usually after lunch — I check back in with the planner. Not always, but when I remember. I might fill in a mood bubble, update a habit I’m trying to track, or scribble a thought that’s been sitting in my head. Just a small moment to reset.

It’s become a helpful little break in the middle of busy hours.

Around lunchtime or sometime in the early afternoon, I take a quiet pause and return to the planner. It’s just a brief check-in, but it helps me stay grounded and gently aware of how my day is unfolding.

Here’s how I often use it during this time:

• Check off any habits I’ve already done

• Notice and record any shift in my mood or energy

• Add a reminder I didn’t think of earlier

• Write a single word or phrase to describe how I’m feeling

• Leave a kind note to myself for later in the day

It doesn’t take long — just a moment to breathe, reset, and stay in touch with what matters.

Ending on a Kind Note

At the end of the day, I like to return to the reflection page. I don’t always have much to say — sometimes I just write one sentence. Last night I wrote:

“I kept going, even when it felt slow.”

It wasn’t poetic. But it felt true. And writing it down helped me end the day with more softness than I started it.

Format & Printing Tips

• File type: PDF

• Size: A4 only

• Pages: 101

• Tip: Print at “Actual Size” or 100% scale for best results
