AI is dead. It’s time to get in “touch” with your calendar again.
‍

Like many of you, we have been watching the ever-accelerating dawn of AI with excitement. And, as a company that has been building smart scheduling software for nearly five years, we recognized the massive opportunity in front of us to meet this moment and go even deeper on incorporating AI into our product.

‍

So we took a page out of Elon’s book and went back to first principles: what do people really want to help them plan their days? What would give them the control they so badly need without the anxiety of knowing that AI is standing right behind them, watching their every move? What would it look like to go backwards instead of forwards? Do you have to go backwards to go forwards? What is forwards? What is backwards?

‍

After months of painstaking UX research, some expensive sessions with teams at Deloitte and McKinsey, and many helpful chats with leading venture partners at top institutional firms, we arrived at a solution that was both elegantly simple and deceptively complex: just stop building software altogether.

Introducing My Daily Planner. It's familiar. It's safe. It's what you used to carry around in your Jansport backpack in 8th grade, but optimized for the distraction-laden reality of our postmodern times. It does everything and nothing. It's probably aesthetically Scandinavian or something.

‍

Reclaim users: we know you wanted a mobile app. But like Steve Jobs once famously said, "If I'd asked people what they wanted, they would have told me 'a bigger Discman.'" And he invented the iPod all by himself! So respectfully...you want this, you just don't know it yet.

Is this for real?

Now, I know what you're thinking. Who would pivot this hard? Why, after years of investing in building the smartest AI scheduler known to humankind, would we abandon ship and essentially remove all the software from our software?

We don't expect you to understand, and you’re not alone in your confusion (we've been screening calls from our investors all morning). But we think that after reading about some of the benefits that come with My Daily Planner, you’re going to see why we went this direction, and why it's such a compelling vision for your calendar:

• Perfect Privacy: Let’s face it – all software is susceptible to hacks and breaches. But My Daily Planner is the only zero-vulnerability way to ensure your weekly plans remain private (unless someone looks over your shoulder).
   
• Unparalleled Battery Life: Not only are batteries bad for the environment, they never last as long as you’d like. But My Daily Planner changes the game by not including a battery in the first place. It’s limited only by your ideas and your ink.
  ‍
• E-Z Time Tracking: Want to know what you did last week? It’s as simple as turning a page backwards. Want to know what’s happening tomorrow? Just do the same thing, but in reverse.
  ‍
• Customizable Color Coding: With our included set of 5 (yes, five) highlighters, you can color-code your calendar to your heart’s content. If you ever change your mind about what colors you like, it’s as simple as buying more highlighters. You can sniff them too!
  ‍
• Focus Mode: No pings, notifications or ads here. Just paper and pen. It’s the only way to get in the zone. Watch your coworkers stare at you with envy as you furiously scribble down your thoughts.
  ‍
• 100% Uptime: My Daily Planner is available 24/7. It never goes down, ever. The only way our SLA gets violated is if you throw your Planner in the trash. And even then, you can dig through the coffee filters and banana peels, wipe it off with a damp cloth, and start again.

These are just a few of the benefits we think you’re going to love about My Daily Planner. And the best part is that it’s easy to get started – with or without using your computer.

Head to MyDailyPlanner.TV and click Order Now to get on the waitlist (supplies are limited!) or if you’d prefer, you can send a check or money order for $19.99 plus shipping and handling to PO Box 34445, Chicago IL, or call 1-800-REC-LAIM to get connected to a My Daily Planner representative.

And, for a limited time, we’ll throw in some freebies:

• FIVE free highlighters to help you color code your Planner
• A free stress ball to help you squeeze away those intrusive thoughts
• A CD-ROM with instructions on how to use your highlighters + links to helpful videos (Flash player required)

We’re excited with this new direction for our company, and we hope you are too. Happy Planning!

Yours truly,
