It's so nice to have you here

The 20 starter years is the time it takes to build that big life you want. A life where you have consistent daily habits. A life with a strong career path. A life with deep connections to friends, family, and maybe also a partner and children - if you want them. A life where you have the confidence to live independently as an adult.

Not only can have it all, but
plan to have it all.

 

Our Founder

Angela Shaw

I founded The 20 Starter Years Planning & Stationery brand for people who plan to have it all.

Behind the brand is my story.

A stack of linen planners with the golden edges of the pages facing out - stacked from brown, beige, sage, blue, navy, pink to fuchsia (bottom to top). You can also see they each have a matching elastic closure

gold-edged 120gsm want-to-write-on-me pages open next to you while you work
