The Clever Cactus Story
Cacti symbolize endurance – they survive in extremely hot climates, after all! – strength in the face of adversity, tenacity… succeeding even when it seems impossible. When someone gives you a cactus, it means “You can do it!” Doubly so when they give you a Clever Cactus.
Clever Cactus creator Lisa Hoekstra designed our planners to help people set and achieve their goals. Especially creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone who works from home, like her. She’s made it her mission to help the world find joy in organization, and help people continue moving forward, no matter how big or small the steps.
