The Manifesto's story

Hello, I'm Mafalda and I was born in a handful of months of 1994 in Lisbon. I'm the creator of the Manifesto Planner, and I'm passionate about the process of becoming our best selves.

The Manifesto's story starts with a chill weekend in Comporta, Portugal. It was a pivotal time in my life when I was really digging deep into the concepts of gratitude, belief, and figuring out what I truly wanted in life. Some call it finding your purpose, others call it discovering your path. It was a time of big emotions, great company, an inspiring book, and a burning desire to create something that would help people organize their lives and cultivate gratitude. So, I took a deep breath, dove into researching the benefits of journaling for mental health, and got to work.

I've always been a word person, but through this process, I learned way more than I ever thought possible. I reconnected with my own writing habit, and slowly but surely, I started to shape the idea of what would become the Manifesto. Today, I'm thrilled to say that the Manifesto is a project that has brought together my personal growth and my professional journey. It's also connected my passion for communication with my favorite form of expression - art.

Designed to be your daily companion on your journey to a more intentional life.

I truly believe that reflection and manifestation can be healing, and that they can help us turn our dreams and goals into reality. If "dreams" sounds a bit too strong, think of it as organization and planning.

The Manifesto is designed to be your daily companion on your journey to a more intentional life. It's a tool that transforms the chaos of tasks into clarity, helping you connect and balance your personal and professional life through the power of writing.

Written in English, the Manifesto speaks the language of Portugal. It connects our heritage of epic expressions to the resilience that defines us.

I believe that each of us has infinite potential, and that the Manifesto is a powerful tool - no tech required - that combines the power of creativity with the strength of consistency.

So, there you have it - the story of the Manifesto Planner in a nutshell. It's a project born out of passion, purpose, and a whole lot of butterflies in my stomach. I hope it inspires you to embark on your own journey of self-discovery and intentional living!

Até já, 

Mafalda
