0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Best Laid Plans, the podcast where we discuss planning and planning
0:14.6	techniques and all things adjacent. This is Sarah Hart Unger, your host, and I am very excited
0:20.6	because today is another fantastic guest episode.
0:24.7	I know I had said I was going to have guests about once a month, but I thought of a few guests that I was very excited about and didn't necessarily assume that I would be able to get them all.
0:33.7	And they both said yes.
0:34.8	So that's why we have guests fairly close together with Cal Newport
0:38.6	just two weeks ago and Rachel Miller today. So I'm going to introduce her in a second. But first,

1:36.1	And you can imagine we're going to be talking all about dot journaling on this episode,
1:40.3	is that is one of the things she is known for, and we haven't given that much of a discussion
1:44.7	to this more freeform style of planning on the podcast yet. So I have to say that Rachel was
1:50.0	highly recommended by a couple of readers and listeners of this podcast. So I'm extra excited to have her
1:55.0	on. Can you tell her listeners a little bit about how you got into dot journaling in the first place?
