Slowing down is a radical act in a world that demands productivity 24/7. The past two years have especially taught us that taking care of ourselves—by being present, by resting, by doing things that make us happy—is not a reward you need to earn, but a daily necessity.


We kept this in mind while designing the Dahan-dahan planner with Empath, a Filipino mental healthcare social enterprise. We had previously designed the Araw-araw planner a couple of years back for busybodies who want to pursue their passions. Dahan-dahan is her little sister—it's the same one-day-at-a-time spirit, but this time with a focus on mental wellness.
