Who is this for?
The Black Notebook Club is for people who want a simple, analogue rhythm to steady their days and move meaningful work forward. You might be:
- Juggling a busy creative or leadership life and craving clarity you can hold in your hand
- Tired of scattered to‑do lists and endless tabs, wanting one grounded monthly reset
- Ready to escape “always on” noise and build sustainable momentum in focused bursts
- Keen to reflect, plan, and prioritise with a supportive community and light accountability
If you want fewer moving parts, more progress, and a calmer head, this is your room.
What you’ll come away with
You won’t just collect ideas — you’ll build a reliable cadence you can repeat all year.
By the end of your first quarter, you’ll have:
- A monthly paper ritual that clears the mental clutter and sets a focused plan
- A personal toolkit for anchoring priorities, deciding what not to do, and tracking progress
- A month‑to‑month rhythm that survives busy periods and keeps you moving
- A light community of peers who value depth over noise and momentum over hustle
What to expect
A simple structure that blends calm clarity with practical action — all on paper.
- One live sessions per month on Google Meet
- Gentle exercises you can do with a pen in under 10 minutes
- Warm, no‑pressure facilitation and a friendly room
- A repeating cycle of themes that helps you reset, plan, act, and review
Example 2026 arc includes:
- Reset on Paper • Time on a Page • Now / Next / Park • Decisions & Stop‑Doing
- Small Focus Sprints • Half‑Time Review • September Reset

Testimonials
"Beautifully clear, wonderfully simple session for anyone wanting a quick tool for a bit of clarity and forward planning."
- Lily Einhorn, Producer
"Before participating in The Black Notebook Club, my to‑do list was a to‑do web - messy, unclear and not useful... After the session, I realised there can be space for rest and that I deserve to have it."
- Sophie Larsmon, Director
"I was cruising into Christmas, not really thinking about maximising the next two weeks or hitting the ground running in January. The Black Notebook Club nudged me to be proactive... Having a short moment to start on a priority gave me a real boost."
- Bob Willard-Watts, Executive
"It gave me time in my day to stop and think about what was truly important, and what I could either delegate or pick up next month... free from emails and distractions."
- Charlotte Lines, Financial Controller
