A6 Self Care Planner Inserts: Check-Ins, Mood, Sleep and Rest
A two minute pause each day that turns into one kind thing for yourself.
Overview
This A6 self care planner gives your A6 ring binder a gentle section for looking after yourself. It has 32 undated inserts at true A6 dimensions (105 x 148 mm, 4.1 x 5.8 in): a menu of self care ideas, daily check-ins, trackers for mood and sleep, a Sunday reset, monthly reviews and affirmations. The download includes single A6 pages with crop marks and print-and-cut versions that place four pages on an A4 sheet or two on a US Letter sheet.
It arrives as an instant download, and nothing is shipped.
How the A6 self care planner helps you slow down
Your first stop is the menu. Pick from 30 printed suggestions grouped six ways, then arrange your own ideas by how much time you truly have, from five minutes up to half a day. Each day, a short check-in covers mood, energy, sleep and water, how you feel and what you need, so a quiet moment becomes one caring action.
Over weeks and months, mood circles, a pixel year, a fourteen night sleep log and a bedtime routine reveal how rest and mood affect each other. Since nothing is dated, you can reprint the check-in or Sunday reset you like best and start in whichever month suits you.
Who this self care planner is for
- A6 6-ring binder owners who want a full section for self care, mood and sleep
- Busy people who would rather do a two minute check-in than write long journal entries
- Anyone already using general A6 inserts who wants dedicated self care pages beside them
- People who like a tiny planner that slips into a handbag for check-ins on the move
Size, design and printing
- Soft and minimal: white pages with blush pink accents that need very little ink
- Roomy margins so a home printer cuts nothing off
- Portrait pages at genuine A6 size, 105 x 148 mm (4.1 x 5.8 in), with matching wide margins left and right so you can punch on either side
- No dates, so any month of any year works as a starting point
- Cut sheets: four A6 pages on each A4 sheet, separated with two straight cuts, or two on each landscape US Letter sheet, all with cut lines and a 50 mm scale check
- A file of single pages with crop marks, for any paper at home or for a print shop
- Keep them in a binder or on a clipboard, or ask a print shop to spiral bind them

Good to know
- These are print and cut PDF pages built around self care, not a hyperlinked digital planner. The shop's general A6 Planner Inserts and A6 Daily Inserts are separate products, and because this set contains only self care pages, they work nicely together.
- You buy a download only. Nothing physical arrives in the mail.
- Printed colors can differ a little from your screen.
- Personal use only. Please keep the files to yourself and do not resell them.
- Downloads are non-returnable. If a file will not open or prints wrongly, email us and we will help right away.
- This planner is a personal tool for self care and organizing. It is not therapy, it is not medical or psychological advice and it does not diagnose or treat anything.
- When things feel too heavy, please contact a professional or someone you trust.
- A6 binders do not all space their rings the same way, so line the pages up against an insert you already have before you punch.
