I made a very impromptu YouTube video . . . I am releasing it even though the video quality is not great but promise that the next time I will work on lighting / sharpness first!

Great episode! Organize 365 also has a medical binder that works for any age/complexity of patient. The Warrior Mama is ideal for parents of kids with special needs/IEPs/complex medical issues. I have all of the binders she sells and have found them to be so helpful. I have one medical binder that has dividers for my husband, myself, and my 2 older kids. I use the Warrior Mama binder for my youngest daughter. The binders themselves are pretty large, and I often take out the relevant pages and put them in a slimmer binder when going to appointments.
Thank you Kristie!!!
Love the idea of getting our household medical stuff more organized. With the online “MyChart” that we have, it helps for tracking certain things, but it’s a hassle to log into and I’d rather keep everything in one place. Lately I have found myself losing track of this stuff, too… like, when was their last physical? How often do they have to go now? Wait, did I order contacts the last time I was at the eye doctor, or do I need to order more, etc. Ironically I was just mulling this over last week, so this episode was timely for me! I’ve been using Google Keep more lately for notes since I keep my Google Cal open all day and it also has the little direct sidebar/link for Keep right there at all times, so it’s very accessible and convenient. I may try making a Medical folder and making a point to keep better notes there.
ooh yes! Assuming that’s very similar to Apple Notes so would be a great option. I agree MyChart can be really cumbersome to pull up on the fly.
A suggestion for the listener looking for a portable migraine tracker – I love the Moleskine pocket daily for tracking this. Small but with lots of room to write for each day, easy to slip into my workbag or even a purse. Discreet cover.
Hi Sarah, I loved the segment on planners for kids! I was wondering if you had any thoughts on a first planner / journal for the younger set. My 5 yo is very interested in my Hobinichi (often abducts it and doodles in it) and I’ve been receiving ads for “My first happy me journal” for ages 3-6. Have you heard of it, is it worth it? Thanks!
Ec Kids planners are super cute:

They are more like glorified sticker books but a fun first product to play with! HappyMe looks very cute but I’ve never flipped through it in person!
Yay for more videos! It is hard to do all the things you have ideas for – glad to see these coming back.
