The Story Behind MY LIFE
Hi, I’m Naomi.
MY LIFE started with my brother, John.
After our parents died, I became John’s caregiver and guardian, and I found myself managing more and more of the details of his life—appointments, activities, schedules, responsibilities and changes.
But eventually I started asking a different question:
How much of this could John participate in planning for himself?
Visual calendars, pictures, simple words and accessible planning gave John more information—and a bigger role in his own life.
That experience, combined with my 32 years in education, helped shape MY LIFE.
I created this planner because I believe the person whose life is being planned should have a meaningful role in planning it.
John inspired MY LIFE. But this isn’t John’s planner.
It’s yours.

Educator • Caregiver • Guardian • Creator of MY LIFE
A planner designed for the way real life happens.
MY LIFE is an accessible, visual planner created for teens and adults who benefit from a simpler, more flexible way to plan their lives.
Write in it. Draw in it. Add stickers. Use photos. Ask for help. There is no one “right” way to use it.
Because this isn’t a planner for someone else to use about you.
It’s your planner. Your life. Your plans. Your choices. Your way.

Who is My Life for?
For people who want a bigger role in planning their own lives.
MY LIFE was created for teens and adults who benefit from a more visual, flexible, and accessible way to plan.
It may be a good fit for someone who:
✓ Likes knowing what’s happening and what comes next
âś“ Benefits from pictures, simple words, stickers, photos, or reminders
âś“ Wants to participate more in planning appointments, activities, routines, and responsibilities
✓ May need support with planning—but still wants their own voice and choices
âś“ Wants a planner that feels adult, not childish
Independence doesn’t mean doing everything alone.
It means having a bigger role in your own life.
Why is My Life different?
More than a planner.
MY LIFE was designed for participation—not perfection.
Traditional planners often assume the person using them can read a lot of text, organize information, remember dates, write in small spaces, and figure out what to do next.
MY LIFE takes a different approach.
âś“ Use words when words work.
âś“ Use pictures when pictures work better.
âś“ Add stickers, photos, drawings, or reminders.
âś“ Ask for help when you need it.
âś“ Change the way you use it as your needs change.
The goal isn’t to plan like everyone else.
The goal is to have a way to plan that works for you.
