0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Best Laid Plans.
0:11.1	This is your host, Sarah Hart Unger, and this is a podcast where we talk all things planning
0:15.6	and planning adjacent.
0:17.5	Today is going to be a planning adjacent episode, and I'm going to give you a confession,
0:22.5	which is that this is the second episode I've recorded for this week.
0:27.0	I did the first one, and it was some deep thoughts kind of relating some of the personal
0:32.0	development reading that I'm currently reading to planning.
0:36.1	And honestly, I decided that I didn't want to air it.

1:12.2	that justice. And I'm still not sure I could do that justice. So instead, you are going to get a
1:17.2	real talk and behind the scenes episode from me because I think that this is the perfect time of
1:23.5	year to take a little break from specific planner content, even though this is a planner
1:28.2	related podcast, and get a little meta and talk about how this podcast came to be.
1:34.9	How does it actually work?
1:36.6	How do I plan the details?
1:38.0	How do I track things?
1:39.3	All the things kind of associated with best laid plans.
