0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Bethleh plans. This is your host Sarah Hart Unger and this is a podcast
0:13.8	free talk for All Things Planning and Planning Adjacent. I am going to do a fun episode today
0:20.4	in part because I myself could use a little bit of a pick me up. I am going to do a fun episode today, in part because I myself could use a little bit of a
0:23.5	pick-me-up. I am on call this week. Things are really busy. I'm already kind of tired.
0:29.5	And of course, the podcast must go on. And I had some ideas for topics. And I have some great
0:34.5	questions to do a Q&A. But I'm not even sure I can get my brain to intelligently answer questions right now.

1:16.3	where there's a little bit of a tangent attached to the item itself. So there are going to be
1:20.4	some bonus items in here. All right. So we will get started. Oh, and I decided to leave my
1:26.2	planners out of this episode. You guys already heard me talk about my
1:30.5	planner stock for this year. You've heard me talk about lots of planners in the past, and I don't
1:34.7	want to talk about any planner that I'm not currently using right now. And so this episode is going to
1:39.3	be focused on non-planar planning tools, as well as some planning adjacent editions. All right, number one,
1:47.8	and this was inspired, probably because I was using one at the time I was brainstorming the notes
1:52.8	for this episode, is the campus notebook. Campus notebooks are made by the brand Kokoyooyo and they can be found pretty commonly.
