Summary

In today's episode, Sarah shares a detailed Planner Peace submission (from a listener who listened to all 250 episodes of the BLP back catalog!) and provides a mini-review of Kendra Adachi's The Playbook, designed to be planner companions for each season, rather than planners themselves! Find The Playbook here: https://www.thelazygeniuscollective.com/merch/p/the-playbooks-bundle or here for a page by page overview: https://otterpine.com/the-playbooks/ Next, a listener with a new baby wonders whether it makes sense to carry her paper planner up and down the stairs vs make the switch to digital.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Best Laid Plans.
0:11.0	This is your host, Sarah Hart Unger, and this is the podcast where we talk all things planning
0:15.6	and planning adjacent.
0:17.5	Today I'm back again with some more planner piece sent in by a listener, some Q&A, and a mini-review.
0:24.9	And just a little bit about how life's going two weeks after I aired an episode where I was,
0:30.4	someone actually described me as having pressured speech, which she's probably right.
0:34.3	I don't speak slowly at baseline.
0:36.2	And I was really stressed out when I recorded
0:38.5	that episode two weeks ago after a full day of clinic. But since then, things have been much
0:43.5	better. I've been sticking to my new personally enforced work schedule, which means this
0:48.0	episode is being recorded a little bit more in advance than usual. And I was going to make a joke
0:52.9	about hopefully nothing big happening in the
0:56.0	planner world that's newsworthy between now and then. And then I actually got an email from the creator

1:11.2	will be more kind of planner related news coming out. She did encourage anyone who loves passion
1:17.0	planner to continue to support small businesses, to continue to share about your favorite planners
1:22.9	because the more we can continue to be loyal to these brands that they weather the storm.
1:27.9	If we really love them and we want them to stay alive, we've got to keep supporting them.
1:31.6	So I definitely plan on doing that.
1:33.4	I kind of talked about how I anticipated that my Hobonichi order next year might be a lot more expensive.
1:39.6	But I love their stuff.
