The relationship between personal regulation and mental health has gained strength in market research and in people’s routines. A study released by VEJA Saúde, conducted by researchers at the University of Connecticut (USA), indicates that daily chaos and disorder in people’s lives depletes cognitive resources and affects the brain negatively, impairing concentration and increasing feelings of pain and restlessness. According to the survey, clutter, whether in physical space or in organizing daily tasks, sends signals to the brain that there is unfinished business, generating a state of constant alertness that increases stress.
Thus, with the aim of unifying organizational, psycho-educational and therapeutic practices in one scheme, Editora Garden announces the launch of Ser Planner 2026. Edesian Sousa, Director of Editora Garden, states that the launch redefines the idea of personal planning by treating it as a tool for emotional care, not just productivity.
“Ser Planner was born from the understanding that organization and mental health go hand in hand. When we build our routine with awareness, with space for work, rest and self-care, we provide the mind with predictability and reduce anxiety,” explains the professional. “Organization is also an act of mind care. It transforms inner chaos into clarity and purpose,” he adds.
Designed to promote emotional balance in daily life, Ser Planner 2026 combines planning, reflection exercises, therapeutic writing, self-knowledge, and emotional support.
In addition to yearly, monthly and weekly views, the planner features psychoeducation resources, such as self-assessments, habit trackers, art therapy, well-being checklists, the Wheel of Life and questions that increase awareness of patterns and emotions.
For Edesian, the planning habit can be more emotional than productive. “Planning isn’t just about goals: it’s about meaning. When we write down what we feel and define actions aligned with our values, we create a logical routine. Ser Planner 2026 is designed with this philosophy: combining organization with reflection breaks that help the user reconnect with themselves,” he analyses.
Planning as a self-care tool
In a fast-paced, hyper-connected world, organizing yourself can become an active practice of self-care, as professionally highlights. The director adds: “Planning slows down with the goal. Opening the planner, breathing and writing down what is necessary becomes a ritual of presence. It is a way of taking care of time, emotions and dreams.”
The planner is produced on pollen paper, with a hard cover and a palette of neutral colours, enhancing the welcoming proposition through the graphic design. Ser Planner 2026 is part of the Embelezar a Vida collection and is designed to give you peace and make planning a pleasant moment in your routine.
The Garden launch focuses on integrating design, content and emotional purpose. “Every detail of the planner is designed to accommodate you. The design, the content, and the purpose that guide it. Ser Planner doesn’t just want to help with routine: it wants to help the user live with more intention and lightness,” says Edisiane.
With the launch, Editora Garden wants to reposition personal planning as an emotional health practice, suggesting that organizing the year is also an opportunity for self-care, awareness and balance.
