The planner graveyard

0–4s

“I've quit every planner I ever bought. So I built one.”

Vertical 9:16 static medium close-up. A 31-year-old Brazilian man with light-brown skin, dark curly hair to his ears and a short beard, wearing an olive overshirt over a black tee and a woven bracelet, at a standing desk in a small coworking room in the evening, city lights through the window behind. He drops a stack of five half-used paper planners onto the desk with a thud, fans them out with one hand, and looks into the lens. Static camera. Warm desk lamp against cool blue city light, natural skin texture, phone on a tripod at eye level, unpolished talking-head feel. He says: "I've quit every planner I ever bought. So I built one." No captions or on-screen text. (Generates 5 s — trim to 4 s in the edit.)

Why it works

The founder shares the viewer's failure instead of lecturing them, so the product feels built for them. The mechanism (one text, not a list) is a real point of difference from every planner they quit, and the closing line invites a relationship rather than a sale.

Hook variants to A/B test

  • “Five planners, all abandoned by February.”
  • “I'm bad at planners. That's why I made this one.”
  • “Every planner assumes you'll remember to open it.”
