June 3, 2025

(Totally forgot to post this yesterday! Ahh well, it was fun to share about the weekend!)

Show Notes

In today’s episode, I welcome listeners into summer (and southern hemisphere listeners into winter!). Then, I share 10 less common (possibly quirky!) planning habits that work for me, from my typical tracking methods to regular use of “defaults” and strategic use of break times, and more.

I also shares a listener follow up to the new mom wondering how to deal with tasks that come to mind when she isn’t with her planner!

    This show was so fun! I’m a bit of a quirky planner myself, and I loved hearing your approaches! Thanks for putting it out there!

    I am THRILLED to hear that you will be the narrator of your best laid plans book! As a huge advocate of audiobooks, the narrator really can make or break a book. I have loved hard copies of books that I first tried as audiobooks and were just a complete bore. It’s so important (at least for me) to have an engaging narrator and of course, you could not be a better fit. Very excited for you and cannot wait to listen to it!
