    Hi Sarah! Checking in to say THANK YOU for the lovely mug, notepad, and tea towel for the SANta gift swap! I love them and they really brightened a Monday afternoon!

    I wanted to share a capture resource. This is more along the lines of crafting a personal knowledge database. Digital approaches are often the easiest here for longevity and ease of finding saved information. I’ve used Evernote for years, but am recently trying out a new open-source app Joplin for capturing ideas/articles/resources. Both books below are by Tiago Forte He would probably also be a great future podcast interview. 🙂

    Also, a previous Q&A discussed ring vs disc planners. I came across the trick for ring planners of cutting a slit in the punched holes so that they can slide in and out like a disc-bound planner. I love this trick and being able to use beautiful ring planners without having to open the rings very often.

    Tip is in this video by Plans with Bee. I’ve also come across this suggestion by Rana Plans. Both are great resources for ring planning.
