Hello and welcome to Best Blade Plans. This is Sarah Hart Unger, your host, and this is the podcast where we talk all things planning and planning adjacent.

Today I have for you an all Q&A episode, which is something I've been promising

for a while but haven't delivered on, so I'm excited to bring you some great questions today.

Please keep the questions coming. This is my plea for more email questions, more audio questions.

However you want to get them to me, I am happy to answer them because I think it's a really

fun way to just share a lot of different topics and they make a really fun episode when I get

to put them all together. So without further ado, here we go. Although I am going to open with

our planner piece segment as I got another planner piece submission. This one came through my blog comments.

Our listener writes, I am finding my planner piece with Google Calendar, To-Doist, and the Aaron

Condren Daily Duo. I feel like I am finally finding my groove after much trial and error with

this hybrid planning approach. Google Calendar allows me to

see the big picture of my family's schedule. Myself, husband, and three kids color-coded to my heart's desire.

To-doists allows me one place for notes and to-dos on the go. Finally, the Aaron Conjran Daily Duo

allows me to pull information from both digital tools and plan my day. It keeps me

on paper throughout the day and more focused that way. We also have an Aaron Condorling weekly

whiteboard displayed in our kitchen. I hope my kids are interested in paper planners too when

they're older. Thank you so much for submitting. I love this. It does sound very similar to what I do,

except replace Google Calendar with maybe a Hobonichi or another weekly planner. But I totally see

the appeal of being digital for your calendar and schedule, but then transferring onto paper each

day so you can kind of set your intentions for the day and just work off of the page. I find it

interesting that you're using to-do us both for notes and to-dos. I've kind of used it for

to-dos, but not for notes. So that's interesting that you're able to get it to work for both.
