Why I created Her Favourite Self
For years I tried to make cute planners work. Beautiful books, new pens, a fresh start every month. They ended up in a drawer, and the moment I couldn't see them, I forgot them.
What finally worked was simple. I need to see everything in front of me. My niyyah, my deen goals, and the dunya goals I want to chase with purpose, all in one place I come back to every day.
As a mum, my time comes in small pockets. Early in the morning around Fajr. When homeschooling's done and everyone has free time. After the kids are asleep. This board is how I use those pockets to keep learning and keep striving, without losing sight of why I started.
I didn't want to create another beautiful board that makes you feel excited for a day and then sits forgotten. I wanted something you could return to: on your wall, or on your phone when you're not near it. Something that helps you choose a small step and makes room to notice what actually happened.
Not just what you haven't finished.
Sometimes the problem isn't that you haven't been trying. It's that you haven't been giving yourself the chance to notice your efforts.
