our story

It all began with one girl and her passion to make a difference.

Hi there! I am Manya, the CEO and founder of notee and I am so happy to see you here. As a creative person with a deep passion for mental health, notee for me is all about bringing my vision to life in pages and to be able to help as many people as possible in the process. Reflecting back to why doing this was so important..

In 2020, the world was forced to take a step back and confront a new reality. The pandemic brought with it an unprecedented level of uncertainty and anxiety, affecting every aspect of our lives. 

As I adjusted to this new way of living, I found myself reflecting more and more on my own mental health. It was during this time that I realised the importance of taking care of myself, not just physically but mentally too. I began to explore what mental health really meant, and how it impacts our daily lives. Through this journey, I discovered the power of mindfulness, self-care, and the importance of seeking help when needed. 

In times of chaos, we just need a moment of stillness to understand who we truly are. That's exactly what I found when I turned to planners and journals.

But as I began using planners and journals to manage my time, I realised something else: they were also helping me manage my mental health. By taking the time to plan my week and month, I was able to prioritise my self-care and make space for the things that truly mattered to me. It gave me a sense of control and purpose during a time when everything else seemed out of my hands. As I worked on myself, I realised the value of serving others through my products.

Over the past few years, I have become more aware and woke, and I continue to observe and empathise with others. In my personal life, I have had to navigate generational gaps and learn to let go, accepting that it's okay to agree to disagree. I challenged myself every day to adopt new mindsets, unlearn the old ones, and embrace the unknown. Journaling became my best friend as I wrote down my thoughts and reflections, helping me gain clarity and insight into who I truly am.

Through notee.in,  I wanted to curate products that serve as a reminder of your mental strength, of your capability to achieve anything you set your minds to, as long as you are willing to put in the effort. My hope is that through the use of these products, you will not only improve your productivity and mindfulness but also gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of yourselves.

I think it’s important for us to remember that finding yourself is a journey that's never-ending, but every step forward is a victory. So if you ever feel lost or unsure of yourself, just take a moment to pause and write down your thoughts. You might be surprised at what you discover about yourself!
