our story
and why we do what we do
How did it start?
The idea for Liveli Planner was born out of frustration.
Sarah Gould-Stotts, creator of Liveli Planner, was working a corporate job with a hectic travel schedule and trying to manage a household of three (her, her busy husband, and her very needy but adorable Westie, Molly). Sarah was frustrated that she couldn’t seem to find a day planner or time management tool that accounted for everything she had to think about in a given day.
She tried printed planners, she tried apps, she even tried creating her own system in Excel. But nothing could really do all she needed it to do to make her life feel more manageable. So one day, during a conversation with a friend, she expressed this frustration and her friend felt the same way too. That was the light bulb moment when Sarah decided she should just build a better way to manage time herself.
With a background in meeting and conference planning and project management, and a passion for all things organization, she started working on what would come to be known as Liveli Planner – the best friend she wished she had for managing all of her sh!t.
Why We Built Liveli Planner?
Women have a lot going on.
Women are multitasking all the time. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, women divide their time across 6 different categories, while men divide their time across an average of 2. Sound familiar?
But most time management tools don’t work for women.
Time management is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. A woman should not have to tailor her time management style to her tool. Her tool should be tailored to her.
Women deserve a better way to manage their time.
Because of everything the world relies on women to do, we deserve a time management tool designed just for us. One that connects all of the dots.
That’s why we built Liveli Planner…
Liveli Planner was designed by women for women. It syncs with the technology you already use. And it is customizable to what’s important to you.
…your best friend for managing all of your sh!t.
Liveli Planner is available online whereever you need it. It keeps track of your checklists, notes, and reminders, alongside your calendars. And it keeps everything you have to think about in a day in one place.

We thought the best way to break the ice with anyone who thinks we could be friends was to make a “mix tape.”
