A collaboration between Tamara Judge & Essi Auguste Virtanen
Four editions of the Connected standard-year planner together, and now our first academic edition.
WHY AUGUST–JULY
The calendar most planners forget.
January is a hopeful date for the world, but if your year actually turns in September, you deserve a planner that turns with you.
1
AUGUST
A gentle run-in
Set intentions, reflect on the summer, and arrive at September feeling prepared rather than ambushed.
2
SEP– JUNE
A coached year
Weekly prompts, personal and professional goal setting, energy tracking and values work that quietly shape how the year unfolds.
3
JULY
A clear close
Finish in step with the academic calendar — celebrate, harvest the lessons, then rest.
INSIDE THE PLANNER

Coaching, on the page.
Every section is grounded in positive psychology — the same evidence base used in Keystone's coaching practice. Use it daily, weekly, monthly. Skip a week. Come back. The planner meets you where you are.
Weekly self-coaching prompts written by a qualified positive psychology coach
Energy tracker so you can see — and protect — your good days
Termly reviews that turn vague hopes into achievable goals
Strengths and values exercises you'll actually return to
Record positive experiences at the end of the month to improve reflection, mindset and wellbeing
WHAT'S INSIDE
Eight ways the planner quietly works on your behalf.
Each tool is rooted in positive psychology and coaching — distilled into something you can actually do on a Tuesday morning.
Strengths
01
Identify what you do best, then design your year around using more of it.
Values
02
Get clear on what matters most so the year's decisions become simpler.
Wellbeing & mindfulness
03
Small, evidence-based practices to look after your nervous system, not just your to-do list.
Goal setting
04
Personal and professional goals broken into terms, months and weekly actions.
Goal tracking
05
Lightweight reviews that keep momentum without becoming another chore.
Energy across the week
06
Notice the patterns in your week so you can plan with — not against — your energy.
Quotes & inspiration
07
Carefully chosen quotes and imagery to lift the page on the harder mornings.
Beautifully designed
08
A hardcover planner that earns a place on your desk — for people who love the physical page.
“Performance shouldn't come at the cost of wellbeing. The planner is the daily companion for that belief.”
KEYSTONE x CONNECTED YOU
A GENUINE COLLABORATION
Two practices, one planner.
Tamara Judge of Keystone Coaching brings over twenty years of evidence-based positive psychology, working with young people, families and independent schools. Her practice is about more than building resilience that lasts — it's about nurturing the resilience, self-esteem, confidence and well-being practices that will serve people both now and in what is currently an uncertain future. That inner strength is what matters.
Essi Auguste Virtanen, founder of Connected You, is a coach and writer who works with sensitive, purpose-driven people who are tired of living in survival mode. Her practice creates space to slow down, reconnect and reset — so life and work can feel honest, sustainable, and genuinely good, rather than another performance to keep up.
Essi has partnered with Tamara over four editions of the Connected planner. From the very first edition, this has been a true collaboration — two practices, one vision — and the academic planner is simply the next chapter of that shared work.
They have collaborated on every edition from the beginning, and this academic planner is the one they both wished existed when their own academic years began.

GOOD QUESTIONS
Anything else?
When will my planner arrive?
Planners ship at the end of July 2026, ready for the start of the 2026/27 academic year. We'll email you with tracking the moment yours leaves us.
Is this only for students or teachers?
No. It's an academic-year planner — anyone whose life follows the school calendar (parents, coaches, students, educators, school leaders, or anyone who simply prefers an August/September start) will feel at home in it.
What does "based on positive psychology" actually mean?
Every prompt, exercise and tracker is grounded in evidence-based positive psychology — the same approach used in Keystone's coaching practice with young people, families and independent schools, and Connected You's approach with their clients.
I missed a week. Will the planner still work?
Absolutely. The structure is designed to forgive missed days and weeks — you can pick it back up at any point without losing your year.
When is payment taken?
Payment for your planner and delivery is taken up front when you pre-order. Paying in advance is what allows us to offer the best possible price to our clients — we're able to plan the print run precisely rather than padding it for uncertainty.
Where do you ship to?
We currently ship within the UK. If you're outside the UK and would like a copy, please email us (hello@keystonecoaching.co.uk) — we welcome international enquiries and will do our best to arrange something.
Do you offer bulk or organisation discounts?
Yes. We offer a discount for organisations buying in bulk — schools gifting planners to their teaching team for September, leadership teams investing in a shared reflective practice, or anyone wanting a thoughtful staff morale gesture. Email us with rough numbers and we'll send a tailored quote. hello@keystonecoaching.co.uk
Is it dated or undated?
Fully dated for the 2026/27 academic year, August 2026 through July 2027, so you can open it and begin without setting anything up.
Can I gift a planner to someone else?
Absolutely — many of our pre-orders are gifts. Order as normal and email us if you'd like it sent directly to the recipient or to include a short note. Please note the delivery fee only covers delivery to the UK.
What if I change my mind after pre-ordering?
We want you to love your planner, so please do take your time before ordering. As each planner is part of a print run, we're unable to offer refunds or cancellations once an order is placed. If you have any questions before you buy, we're always happy to help.
RESERVE YOURS
Start the year you actually want.
Pre-orders are open for three weeks only. Payment for your planner and UK delivery is taken up front — this is what lets us offer the best possible price and plan the print run precisely. Get your copy below.
