She emphasized the importance of finding a "time management method that suits you" among the 24 hours everyone has each day.
2. About Forte Planner
Forte Planner is designed not just as a tool for writing down schedules, but as a companion for organizing your thoughts and enriching your life. Drawing from Tanaka's own experience of using planners for 25 years, she designed it to make daily life a little "easier and more enjoyable."
3. Future Plans
Beyond planners, the company aims to provide consistent time management services, including apps and digital tools, and expand throughout Asia.
CEO Comment
"I believe a planner is a companion that helps you organize your time and feelings. Precisely because we live in an era where digital is the norm, I want people to use a paper planner to create time to organize their feelings. Through the radio, I was able to convey the joy of finding a time management method that suits you, along with my own 25 years of experience using planners. I would be delighted if you feel that using Forte Planner makes your daily life easier and more enjoyable."
