The gap
You already have the ideas. What you need is a place for them to happen.
Your phone holds the appointments. A notebook holds the ideas. The goals live somewhere in your head, and every week they get pushed to next week.
The Key Planner closes that gap. It starts with what you want, breaks it into goals and milestones, and then puts those actions into real time in your week, next to the school run and the client calls.
“I wanted to plan out some goals for next year and I immediately reached for this again. I don't think I can go back to anything else now!”
Tuesday, planned
- Walk and plan the day
- School run
- Client calls
- One hour on the launch: write the sales email
- Pick-ups
- Monthly cashflow check-in
Example entries.
How the planner works
More than a diary. A planning system, in the order you'll use it.
The planner is built in the same sequence that real progress follows: get clear, set the goal, break it down, schedule it, review it.
-
Get clear on what you want
Self Discover · The Key Statement · The Key Vision
Guided questions about your values, your strengths and what you'd do with no limits. You finish with a one-line Key Statement and a vision page to refer back to all year.
“Working through the pages and setting goals has helped me figure myself out a little more.”Stef C. · New Zealand
-
Turn it into goals
Long term · Medium term · One year · The Key Map
Set aspirational, realistic and 12-month goals. The Key Map then breaks a big goal into the smaller steps and requirements it will take, so it stops feeling distant.
“Particularly like how goals are broken down into actionable pieces.”Key Planner customer · New Zealand
-
Give each month a focus
Goal Planning Blueprint · Habit Tracker · Monthly calendar
Every month opens with a breakthrough goal, its milestones and a to-do list, plus a habit tracker and a two-page calendar with personal, career and people focus areas.
“Habits, weekly, monthly checkin’s are a game changer.”Yvonne Bergstrum · Australia
-
Put it in the week
Monday to Sunday spreads · 5am to 10pm
Two-page weekly spreads with half-hour slots from 05.00 to 10.00pm, plus This Week's Focus, Personal and Follow Up. Your priorities get an actual time.
“Love that the time starts at 5am - so many planners start at 7!”Anni W. · South Africa
-
Review and adjust
Monthly Review · Cashflow · End of Year Review
Each month closes with a review and a cashflow page, so you can see what worked, where your time and money went, and what to change next month.
“Like the review at the end of the month. It makes you reflect on what you have achieved.”Key Planner customer · New Zealand

Customer reviews
The planner people buy again every year.
“I purchase The Key Planner every year. It has everything I need to plan my budget, goals, appointments and daily tasks.”
“I have used a lot of planners and this is the most thoughtfully executed one. So much attention to detail has been applied and the quality is amazing!”
“I have been using The Key Planner now for three years and it keeps my schedule on track. I love to write it down and this planner has it all.”
“I always buy the Key Planner every year, as it makes my life so much more simplified, productive and it has helped me grow in not only my personal life but my business as well.”
“The planner itself is beautiful. As a stationery nerd I can not fault the quality.”
“Love the routine of writing in it every night, I sleep well knowing all my to dos are written down and manageable!”
“The best investment I’ve made for my personal development and this planner helps me keep myself accountable.”
“Love this item so much, have been buying it for the past few years - a necessity in my life :)”

Reviews were collected through Stamped.io between 2018 and 2024 and cover earlier editions of The Key Planner. The 2027 edition is new for this year.
“I've bought planners before.”
A diary keeps your appointments. The Key Planner keeps the plan.
Most diaries give you dates and empty boxes, and leave the planning to you. The Key Planner walks you through it: what you want, the goals behind it, the steps, and the time each one gets. Then it asks you to review it every month.
It also works alongside your phone calendar rather than replacing it.
“I was dubious at first at the idea of reverting back to pen and planner, when I rely so heavily on my outlook calendar to diarise my day, but the two methods really go hand in hand.”
Karen F. · New Zealand
“Daily planners require too much commitment, while monthly is not enough when planning and scheming is fun. The goal setting, habit tracker, and general format and layout are near perfect for me.”
Spiral · Black

Questions
Before you order
When does the 2027 planner start?
Week 1 begins Monday 28 December 2026, and the weekly pages run to Sunday 2 January 2028. You can set your goals before the year starts.
Can I try it before I buy?
Yes. Download the first month free: all of January 2027 as a printable PDF, so you can start planning now.
Which binding should I choose?
Choose Spiral if you want the planner to lie flat on a desk. Choose Hardcover for a sturdy book that protects the pages. Choose Softcover if you want the lightest one for your bag. The pages inside are the same.
Is the inside the same in every colour?
Yes. All four colours and all three bindings have the same 2027 interior.
Is there enough room to write?
Each day has half-hour lines from 5am to 10pm. Some customers write in times, and others use the lines as a daily list. For longer notes there are 20 lined and 20 dot grid pages at the back.
I already use a phone calendar. Do I need this?
Many customers use both. Your phone handles reminders and shared appointments. The planner is where you set goals, break them down and decide what your week is for.
Who prints and ships my planner?
The Key Planner is published through the Lulu Bookstore. When you order, Lulu prints your planner and ships it directly to you. Your order, payment, shipping and any print issues are handled by Lulu.
How long will it take to arrive?
Lulu's normal production time is 3–5 business days, and hardcovers can take a little longer for binding. Delivery time then depends on the shipping method you choose at checkout. Lulu shows estimates in your cart, but they aren't guaranteed, and the busy season before the new year can add time. Order early if you want your planner before Week 1 starts on 28 December 2026.
Where does Lulu ship, and how much is shipping?
Lulu ships to most countries. The shipping options and cost for your address are shown at Lulu checkout before you pay. Traceable methods include a tracking number in your shipping email, and there can be a 48-hour delay before the first scan shows. Untracked mail options can take up to 28 days.
For orders shipped from overseas, your local customs office may charge duties or taxes, which are paid by the recipient.
Can I return my planner?
Because each planner is printed specially for your order, Lulu doesn't accept returns of printed books. Please check your binding, colour and address carefully before you pay.
What if my planner arrives damaged or misprinted?
Lulu will send a replacement copy. Take photos of the problem and contact Lulu Support within 30 days of your order's shipment date, attaching your photos. Slight shifts in page position or variations in ink colour are normal in print-on-demand.
Can I cancel or change my order?
You can cancel within one hour of ordering, from Order History in your Lulu account. If you checked out as a guest, you can still cancel within that hour by creating a Lulu account. Once Lulu starts fulfilling your order, it can't be cancelled or changed. Lulu can't change the shipping method or quantity after you order, and address changes aren't guaranteed.
Does it make a good gift?
Many reviews mention buying one for a daughter, a sister or a new uni student. You can enter the recipient's address at checkout.
