TikTok's new "For You" Calendar helps families connect and build positive digital habits

The start of a New Year is a natural reset. It's a time to create routines, plan activities, and check in with one another. We know these moments matter—especially for families juggling busy schedules.


That's why this January, TikTok is partnering with small business creator Linda Tong Planners, @lindatongplanners, a talented artist who hand-illustrates stationery that makes organization both fun and accessible, to launch the "For You" Calendar. This physical weekly planner is a space designed for families to connect each week to plan, reflect, and have open conversations about how they spend their time both online and offline—from activities to time "for you." It gives parents and teens a simple way to talk about building balanced digital habits, whatever that looks like for them, alongside the plans they're already making.


We want the calendar to be as accessible as possible for families, so we've partnered with Linda Tong Planners to offer a limited number of calendars for free. Families can head to lindatongplanners.com to order their calendar today.



TikTok creators bring the calendar to life

With the start of the New Year and families looking for ways to reset routines, slow down and be more intentional about how they spend their time together, we partnered with TikTok parent creators to show how the "For You" Calendar can fit into everyday lives. @mrandmrsgrit, @mrshannonlanier, @oh.henrys, and @lyndseystamper1 are bringing videos directly into "For You" feeds to share how they approach organization, connection, and balance.


As parents of teens, they show how small weekly moments can create space to pause, check in and actually talk about how families are spending their time—both offline and online. Their stories highlight how they use the calendar in their own homes—from coordinating busy schedules to carving out intentional family time and sparking meaningful conversations around healthy digital habits at home.



Supporting families beyond the app

The "For You" Calendar is the latest resource designed to help families have ongoing conversations about their online experiences and create balanced digital boundaries together. By providing accessible tools that spark meaningful conversations, it builds on TikTok's other resources that promote digital literacy, safety, and well-being, including the Family Pairing tool, Time & Well-being space, and Digital Safety Partnership for Families.


As families head into the New Year, resources like the "For You" Calendar can help turn small check-ins into lasting habits—bridging online inspiration with real-world connection. By blending creativity with simple tools for planning and reflection, families can stay organized, communicate openly, and spend more intentional time together, on and offline.
