OCCO founders brand header (Ollie and Clare)

We made these because we needed them.

Ollie designed sets for West End shows like Dreamgirls. Clare designed retail spaces for Lacoste, Cadbury and Tanqueray. We both pushed too hard for too long.

Clare was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Ollie burnt out. Then came a depression he didn’t spot for a long time.

An app didn’t fix it. Paper did. We printed our own worksheets to get things out of our heads. Friends asked for copies. That’s how OCCO started.

  • Practical, not fluffy.

    Nothing mystical. Each page has one clear job. Fill it in and you can see what matters.

  • Backed by research.

    In a 2024 study, writing by hand created brain activity linked to memory and learning. Typing didn’t.

  • Miss a day? No problem.

    Everything is undated. Skip a week and pick up where you left off. No streaks to keep.

Questions

Do I need all four tools?

No. Each tool does one job, and you use it when you need it. Some weeks you'll reach for one every day. Some weeks you won't touch it. Most people start with the Morning Mindset Journal. The Toolkit has all four if you'd rather have the full set to hand.

Do I need to be diagnosed with anything to use this?

No. They’re for anyone with a busy mind. No diagnosis needed, and no label on the box.

How long does it take?

The Morning Mindset Journal takes 10 to 15 minutes. The Weekly Planner Pad takes about 10 minutes on a Sunday. You don't need to use any of them every day. They're undated, so pick one up when your head is full and put it down when it isn't.

Will I actually keep using this?

You don’t have to use it every day, so there’s nothing to fall behind on. Most planners fail when you miss a day. Ours are undated, so a missed day costs nothing. Pick one up when your head is full.

What’s the difference between the Priority Pad and the Weekly Planner Pad?

The Priority Pad is for a day when everything feels urgent. You plot your tasks as urgent or important, so you can see what matters. The Weekly Planner Pad holds the whole week on one A4 sheet, with your goals for the month. Use either one on its own, or both when you need them.

Where do you ship and how fast?

UK delivery is £4.95, or free on orders over £50. Royal Mail, 2 to 3 working days. We deliver to UK addresses only for now.
