0:00.0	Hello and welcome to best laid plans. This is the podcast where we talk all things
0:13.2	planning adjacent and this is your host, Sarah Hart Unger. Today I'm going to bring you a
0:18.2	Q&A episode because they are accumulating. And I have a lot of really
0:22.1	fun requests for planner matchmaking. So I wanted to share those in case you are starting to look for
0:27.0	your 2024 planner stack. And I have the news that I just ordered three kind of random
0:35.3	requested planners for some review episodes coming up so you'll have lots of lots
0:39.5	more options to think about in the future. But for now, I wanted to get cut up on questions
0:44.2	because I got so many great ones. So here we go. We're going to be doing some matchmaking,
0:49.7	some thought about planning retreats, and thoughts about carrying around your planners and some other stuff.
0:57.6	So without further ado, here we go. The first few questions are all about matchmaking. So here's

1:17.8	It was larger, lefty-friendly, so no spiral, and fit nicely in my bag, also due to no spiral. I don't
1:24.4	love that there's no monthly tabs like in the spiral version. It's not easy to flip
1:28.2	from month to month, which I do very frequently. I suppose there's nothing really wrong with it,
1:32.7	but I'm interested in a change. I really like the idea of plum paper since long term,
1:37.5	it seems like it could save time with being able to upload recurring yearly events to be pre-printed.
1:43.3	I also like the customizable ability for the side
1:45.8	columns and hours shown. However, it's spiral-bound, which is a deal-breaker for me. So must-haves include
1:52.8	soft-bound or lefty-friendly, large size, the Aaron Condren is 8 by 10, and that's been great,
2:00.1	month tabs, and an hourly layout.
