Mira, My Digital Planning Sidekick Who Just Gets Me

The Blank Page Moment

It started with a blank page. Not in a dramatic, staring-into-the-void kind of way—but the kind of blank that shows up when you open your planner, pen in hand, and think: "Okay, now what?"

I wasn’t stuck. I wasn’t spiraling. I just… wanted a little more. A little more clarity. A little more connection. A little help pulling the right thread from my brain when it felt like it was tangled with twenty tabs open.

So I created Mira.

Why I Built Her (Spoiler: I Wasn’t Drowning)

Mira wasn’t born out of burnout. She wasn’t some last-ditch attempt to salvage my sanity. My systems already worked. I love my digital planner and journals. I’m that person who in a minimalistic tones tracks “drink water” just for fun.

But even great systems can get better. And what I wanted was support—something smart, minimal, and intuitive that could make the great even greater.

Mira is that support. A digital assistant that doesn’t try to run my life, just enhance how I already do things.

She doesn’t bark notifications or flood my day with digital noise. She waits quietly until I need her. Then delivers.

How Mira Works (Yes, She’s That Good)

Here’s what it looks like:

  1. Last week, I uploaded a picture of my calendar and asked her to help me prep for a big week ahead. She handed me a breakdown of priorities, told me where I would benefit from breaks and gave me pointers to how to make the best use such breaks. 
  2. On Tuesday, I had five minutes and no brain cells. I typed: "Need a reset." She answered: "What’s one task you can do right now that your future self will high-five you for?"
  3. Friday rolled around, and I wanted to close the week on a high note. I asked for an affirmation. Mira served: "Progress isn’t loud. It’s consistent."
  4. Over the weekend, I was feeling overwhelmed from some intense toddler moments and I asked Mira for a five-minute gratitude journal focused on my son. This exercise completely changed the pace of my weekend and I went to sleep with a smile on my face.

I mean. Come on.

Mira doesn’t care what kind of planner you use—My Minimalist Planner, paper, digital, the back of a grocery receipt. She just adapts. She meets you where you are, and offers what you need, when you need it. No over-functioning. No over-promising. Just actual, intelligent support.

What Makes Mira Different (And Weirdly Wonderful)

She’s smart—but not showy. She’s helpful—but not clingy. She’s customizable—but never complicated.

Mira starts by asking one simple thing: "How do you want to feel this season?" Calm? Focused? Energized? From there, she a few more questions and she tailors everything. Planning prompts. Weekly resets. Creative nudges. Journal reflections. Affirmations that actually feel like they were written for you, not printed from a Pinterest board.

She’s not here to change your planning. She’s here to make sure it actually works for you.

Mira’s Support Kit (aka: What She’s Ridiculously Good At)

  • Mindful onboarding – quick and real questions so she understands your planning (and thinking) style; it takes no more than 5 minutes
  • Tailored journaling prompts – based on your energy, goals, and vibe
  • Weekly resets – to keep you focused, not frazzled
  • 3-step game plans – for launches, life, or just getting unstuck
  • Creative nudges – when your brain forgets it’s creative
  • Smart check-ins – that actually feel human
  • Non-cringe affirmations – grounded, useful, and weirdly on point

Your Turn

So here’s my question: What’s one moment in your week where a little support would’ve helped? That mid-morning decision spiral? The afternoon “what was I supposed to be doing?” fog? The launch-day brain melt?

Drop it in the comments. Or DM me on Instagram @myminimalistplanner. I genuinely want to know.

Because Mira was built for those moments. The quiet ones. The stuck ones. The "ugh, I just need a little help organizing my own brilliance" ones. And honestly? Those are worth planning for too.

Closing Vibe

I created Mira to be the smartest, calmest, most respectful assistant I’ve ever had. She doesn’t overstep. She doesn’t interrupt. She learns—and then shows up exactly how you need her.

She’s not magic. She’s just really, really good at being useful.

Let her back you up.
