about raven voyage
Lindsay Backer
Planning Enthusiast
Raven Voyage is a boutique planning + lifestyle agency owned and operated by me! I am a digital planning aficionado and the glimmer a fresh plan brings me great excitement :) I have a wide variety of interests including animals + nature, sports, fitness + walking, skincare, wellness + fashion, home decor, hosting + entertaining, hobbies, reading, weather, and more!
All products and books showcased on the RV site were conceived by combining my interests with a focus on organization and structure - then carefully crafting each to blend functionality with a calming + beautiful aesthetic.
With 20 years of higher education and work experience, and 38 years of laughing, loving + and enjoying the small things in life, I have honed in what it takes to conceptualize and execute an efficient and successful plan for all of life’s projects.

Raven Voyage symbolizes my passion for planning and deep appreciation of nature. Ravens are one of the only animals (aside from humans and apes) with the ability to plan. They also represent intelligence, foresight and insight. Voyage signifies the start of your planning journey. Applying planning principles to lifestyle activities will help yu make the most out of each and every precious day.

My method
Well planned is only half done
JUST DO
My #1 piece of advice is to put “pen to paper” and get started ASAP. Perfection is not the goal — the goal is to create a draft that can be iterated until you’re able to successfully complete the task, project or objective at hand.
This method can be applicable to nearly any project or bucket of content: curating a skincare routine, drafting your fantasy football roster, prepping to pack for a big trip, creating an inventory system, etc.
PREP reiGns supreme
A well-vetted plan, in whatever form or shape works best for you, will do wonders toward accomplishing your goals and executing your mission. A plan can be as simple as two steps that can be accomplished in 1 day or numerous steps that might occur over the next year or more. The more you practice, the easier it will become.
SMALL BITES
Efficiency is inherent when scope is planned, deconstructed into small, attainable elements and scheduled. With no method for visually assessing what is feasible in any given duration and what is on the docket, you’re more likely to fall behind schedule, miss critical actions or cease to complete a project.
