Hello, nice to virtually meet you! I’m Sam Smith founder of HELLO TIME and the creator of the HELLO TIME Planner.

I not only run HELLO TIME but I’m still very much a hands-on, creative and branding specialist with over 29 years of unique design experience.

In 2018 after helping others build successful brands, I thought it was about time I took on the challenge of building my own when I founded HELLO TIME after a period of total burnout. I was feeling overwhelmed and trying to do it all. I quickly realised I could do anything but not everything and looked at how I could better spend my time. I searched for something to help me organise my life, but every tool I looked at was either very prescriptive with overwhelming layouts or didn't have enough space. I wanted to fix a problem that no other product could do from my research and experience. But, most importantly, I wanted one place I could keep everything together. So I designed my own, doing a small print run at first to prove the concept.

I successfully turned that overwhelm and focus around by using my planner every day to keep everything together so it's now my vision to help anyone manage the chaos of life through our award-winning planners, productivity pad and notebooks.

The award-winning planner has very quickly become our hero product. The smart, carefully designed layout means organising your life has never been easier. You can easily manage multiple tasks, and stay on top of your work schedule, family time, to-do lists, notes, goals and ideas in one place. You won’t find any gimmicky graphics or unnecessary boxes; our minimal layouts give just enough structure without being too prescriptive.

Having been featured on the Style List by Stylist Magazine, Shortlisted for Diary/Organiser of the Year 2023 & The Gift of the Year Awards 2023, it's becoming the time management tool you won't be able to live without.

Our products are all made in the UK with a commitment to quality, creativity, attention to detail, and sustainability and 97% of our customers, when asked said they would purchase a HELLO TIME Planner again. How amazing is that!
