From Idea to Published Planner: Make 2026 the Year You Finally DO IT
Jan 13, 2026
So, you’ve been thinking about creating your own wellbeing planner, health tracker, or nutrition journal for your clients… but somehow “one day” keeps turning into “next year” (sound familiar?). Well, spoiler alert: 2026 is your year.
More coaches, nutritionists, naturopaths, perimenopause experts, health coaches, and illness recovery specialists are turning to self-publishing on Amazon KDP than ever before—and it’s not just because everyone secretly wants to be a published author (though that’s a nice bonus). It’s because having your own planner or tracker is like giving your clients a cheat sheet for life… except legal and totally above board.
Why trackers and planners are hot right now
Clients want structure, support, and accountability. Whether they’re working on gut health, managing perimenopause symptoms, healing from chronic illness, or just trying to build better habits, a custom tracker or symptom journal can become their go-to resource. And your name? That’s right there in the mix, reinforcing you as the expert who actually gets it.
Amazon KDP isn’t scary, promise
Self-publishing has a reputation for being tricky and pricey—but here’s the plot twist: Amazon KDP makes it simple. With the right support, you can:
- Organise your planner or tracker so it flows beautifully
- Format pages professionally without wanting to throw your laptop out the window
- Upload your files to Amazon and make them available globally
- Turn your expertise into a tangible product that helps clients long after their session ends
From nutrition planners and wellbeing trackers, to symptom journals and recovery workbooks, the sky’s the limit. And yes, you can totally sneak in a little humour or your quirky personality while you’re at it—your clients will love it.
Your book isn’t just a book—it’s a business tool
Creating your own planner or tracker isn’t just a side hustle for your bookshelf. It can:
- Give clients a structured way to track progress and symptoms
- Showcase your unique approach and expertise
- Provide passive income (hello, money while you sleep)
- Help you stand out in a crowded wellbeing market
2026 is calling… will you answer?
If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect time,” here’s a newsflash: it’s now. Your clients will thank you, your business will thank you, and your inner book nerd will throw a tiny celebratory dance.
Whether it’s a gut health tracker, perimenopause symptom journal, mental health planner, or client workbook, 2026 is the year to make it real, useful, and beautifully yours.
