Welcome to a totally different approach to stewarding your time and beautifully conquering your overwhelm.
God isn’t surprised by the demands on your day.
He hand-picked them.
He’s the One who called you to steward your calendar in this season—and He’s not leaving you to figure it all out on your own. In 2 Peter 1:3, He promises to give you everything you need for a life fully devoted to Him—including enough time.
You don’t need to hustle harder. You need a system that helps you see clearly—so you can steward the time you already have with peace, confidence, and purpose.
That’s why we created the Evergreen Planner.
As homeschooling mamas with hearts for our homes and big visions for our lives, we were tired of planning in a vacuum—juggling separate systems for homemaking, homeschooling, and everything else. So we built a method that integrates all the moving parts of your calling into one customizable planner.
Our proven process will help you to:
- declutter your mind
- get everything out on paper
- organize everything with a balance of strategy and intuition
- quickly identify and solve problems in your schedule
- and graciously pivot with God's Providence
All in a way that honors your family’s unique, God-given priorities.
The Evergreen Planning Method isn’t about squeezing more into your day. It’s about reclaiming your time for what truly matters—and finally following through on the vision God’s placed on your heart.
There IS enough time.
Overwhelmed? In this episode, Shelby and McCauley delve into the profound truth that God has given us everything we need for life and godliness—including enough time.
Throughout this episode, they explore:
- the real reasons why we often feel like there isn’t enough time in the day, despite the biblical promise that God equips us for every task He calls us to
- the time boundaries God built into creation itself, and our calling to steward the time we're given wisely
- practical measures for combatting perceived stress and decision fatigue
- and more!
We need a wholly different relationship with time...
"We are treating ourselves like machines who operate the same way every day, with replaceable parts, and valuable only for what they can do. But we are not machines. We are God’s trees, for whom He lovingly cares. Trees are not the same every day, and neither are people." — Joy Clarkson
Our culture has conditioned us to believe that efficiency matters more than wholehearted connection.
This has deeply impacted our relationship with time. We see our minutes as something to be sliced up and atomized so we can be in the right place at the right time to stamp next right mold on the next right widget.
On Perfectionism
"Uh oh, Elizabeth, be careful. You're sloshing it out."
My four-year-old stops her stirring for a second, processing my words. She sees where a small puddle of batter has splatted on the countertop. She adjusts her grip, then begins to mix again, slower this time.
"It's okay, Mom," she says confidently. Then, under her breath, more to herself than to me, "It's all a part of learning."
Let customers speak for us
My brain on paper. I love the flexibility of this. The simplicity makes it so easy to adapt as the season requires. The foldable/readable Dutch doors are a game changer to see my week AND daily spreads together.
Just enough space to map out your year. Very flexible for each season or need as they change.
I have bought one of these annuals since the onset of Evergreen. I love the size and design… simple and organized. It’s perfect to keep my whole year's calendar of appointments, events, and to-do list at my finger tips. Hope you never stop producing them. Thanks for helping me clearly organize to maximize and doing it in a beautiful way.
I have used these for a quarter now and the system has transformed our days and helped me get the necessary done while plugging in the heart goals I’ve had for years. I’m a checklist enthusiast but this is more than that. Balancing multiple roles can make it challenging to realistically see how much I will be able to get done. With the Classic Planner layout and EGP planning method, I was able to break down important projects, keep up with home care, AND fill my soul with great books, movement, and community. Excited for another quarter!
This is the second time I've bought the light and I absolutely love it. In different seasons of life I feel like I've needed different thing. The classic is great when I need more structure but the lite has been awesome for seasons where i can't find enough consistency for the original but still need help to keep things straight. I jump back and forth depending on the week right now, I'm a brand new mom with a 7 week old and some weeks we need more while others we need less. I love having options for each!
This great little planner has definitely become one of my faves. Lots of space to add notes for each month, and love that it’s not pre-dated, so I can pivot if needed and hop a month ahead or so!
If you’re thinking about the Heirloom, let me tell you it’s worth it! I can keep my Annual and Weekly booklets in it, and two other small notebooks (the “Field Notes” notebooks work great) in the elastic without a problem. The surplus of pockets has essentially turned this into my wallet as well! And it’s delightfully high quality - can’t beat real leather!
As a long time planner/productivity addict, I really loved the idea of the Evergreen planner system, but the Renew course really unlocked it's full potential for me, and it's such a powerful tool for me day to day!
So many of the courses and books I've read have been written by men, and have been geared for people that have full control over their working hours. The Renew system actually works for me as a homeschooling mom who works from home. It helped me actually implement (and review) a lot of the tools that I've learned elsewhere and see how they can fit into my real day to day life.
I really do feel like I've gained my time back and no longer spend so much energy spinning my wheels everyday.
I have been enjoying my London Fog so much! A beautiful blue-grey leather that’s so “happy” and bright to see and pick up. I very much wanted a lighter, cheerful color for my cover and this one really makes me smile. The thick leather is sumptuous, the smell divine, and the way everything comes together is just so perfect - something that makes me grateful I made the purchase every day. Craftsmanship is top notch.
I’m a working mom of 3, and I love this system. I have tried ALLLLLL the planner options - secular and Christian - this is so versatile, so flexible and doesn’t make me feel “pressured” if it doesn’t look perfect.
If you’re looking for a way to identify, clarify, and actually start accomplishing the things God has placed on your heart, then this workbook is for you! Clari and Shelby have created an easy-to-follow, research-driven, step-by-step process for making your big-pictures goals into an actionable reality. Thanks to the ROOTED Goals Workbook, I have finally broken free from the inertia and started making real progress in so many different areas of my home and work life!
I like that the annual planner does not have dates, so I can start it anytime. The dot journal pages are wonderful! It is a great combination of a structured planer and a bullet journal.
Idm using the Annual Planner with the whole system and love it!
I’ve been using the Evergreen Planning System for four months and I love it. It is helping me organize my life. Since going through some health challenges, then becoming a mother, my life has not been as organized as it used to be. :) This system is helping me get my life back in order while being flexible enough to accommodate daily challenges. My favorite part is the dutch door in the Classic Day Planner where I can see the weekly plan as I plan each day. It helps me so much! I love the dot journal pages and the prompts in the daily planner; especially hydration, movement, targets and gratitude. But you don’t have to use them if you don’t want to. The flexibility of this system is marvelous!!

All this fits in the gorgeous leather cover. It is so soft and supple and fits the Classic Planner, the Annual Planer and more! There is so much space! I have an additional small notebook in mine. I use this for taking notes at meetings, zooms and phone calls. The small loops in back are great for adding a pencil, pen and wash tape. A nice little add on purchase is the accessory pack that includes pretty paperclips and a binder clip to help me find the pages I’m using at the moment.
I am so excited I discovered the Evergreen Planning System and I look forward to using for many years to come.
