[TikTok’s](https://www.techloy.com/tag/tiktok/) newest digital well-being tool doesn’t live inside the app. Instead, it’s a physical planner designed to help families plan their week and talk about screen time together. 

The “For You Calendar” is a paper-based weekly planner created in partnership with stationery creator Linda Tong ([@lindatongplanners](https://www.tiktok.com/@lindatongplanners?lang=en)). It’s aimed at families raising teens in a social-media-first world. 

Here’s how to get it and how to set it up at home. 

## Step 1: Get the planner 

The “For You Calendar” is not sold in stores and isn’t available through TikTok itself. 

To get it: 

- Visit [Linda Tong’s official website](https://lindatongplanners.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorcZGR7VGCVgMgpUlhgtTOj%5FWvRpr-cn96F%5FWyVjCeVJJni3FhC)
- Order the planner for free, while supplies last
- Availability is limited, suggesting a test run rather than a permanent rollout

TikTok has not confirmed whether more batches will be released.

## Step 2: Understand what you’re working with 

This is a weekly planner, not a long-term diary or screen-time tracker. 

Inside, you’ll find: 

- A full weekly layout
- Sections for school, activities, and downtime
- Space to plan intentional offline moments
- Prompts designed to spark conversation, not enforce rules

There are no timers, limits, or compliance checks.

## Step 3: Sit down and plan together 

TikTok’s approach only works if the planner is filled out collaboratively. 

How to do it: 

- Set aside 15–20 minutes
- Parents and teens should be present
- Start with fixed commitments: school, classes, sports, chores

This makes the planner feel shared, not imposed.

## Step 4: Schedule offline time — not just restrictions 

Instead of writing “no phone,” TikTok encourages families to plan what replaces screen time. 

Examples: 

- Family meals
- Study blocks
- Rest or personal time
- Social activities outside the phone

This shifts the focus from control to balance.

## Step 5: Use it as a weekly check-in, not a rulebook 

The calendar isn’t meant to be monitored daily. 

Best practice: 

- Revisit it once a week
- Talk about what worked and what didn’t
- Adjust plans without treating missed goals as failure

Flexibility is part of the design.
