Hello and welcome to best laid plans, a podcast about planners, plannings, and all things planning related.

0:16.1

This is episode 12, and today we are going to do two reviews reviews and I'm also going to include some follow

0:22.7

up on prior planning dilemmas mostly with some listener and reader submitted answers.

0:30.2

So I'm very excited to get started with this episode and I'm also excited that some of you

0:35.5

have been invested enough to weigh in on some of the prior Q&As.

0:39.9

That makes me so happy. We're all planners helping each other around here. The first follow-up I wanted

0:46.0

to mention is about the dilemma about capturing event-related to-do items, particularly when one

uses a digital calendar for those kinds of events,

1:26.8

before they even click on them.

1:28.4

But that way they're there, or you could include a Zoom link or you know accessory

1:31.7

information to that event, but the star would indicate that it's there.

1:35.5

So it doesn't get lost or forgotten when it's time for that event.

1:38.3

So I thought that was a great little hack that was submitted by a blog reader.

1:43.3

The second hacks relate to the accessory notebook question.

1:48.1

A listener wrote in and talked about how they don't like the idea of having to rewrite key pages

1:54.1

in the accessory notebook that they keep. Like, let's say they have a page for the year's goals,
