Ep 287: Analog is Trending!

January 26, 2026

Analog is definitely trending, and I am here for it! In today’s episode, I discuss the trend (and evidence that it’s truly a trend), my take on choosing analog when possible, and the unexpected effects on the planner world (!).

one of many of my analog spreads

I also addresses a listener who would like to use more tangible paper tools in her planning system, but struggles with a work system that is all digital.

    Thanks for sharing the article! My analog enjoyment includes the Sunday newspaper, magazines and vinyl records.

    I love that analog is trending! My new analog habit is to have a physical book going at all times. I used to exclusively read on my kindle but when my oldest does his daily reading, I read my physical book. I still prefer the convenience of my kindle but it’s nice to have one physical book going!

    I love this new analog trend. I started writing letters in 2025 and jumped on an analog project to 2026, which is super fun. Glad to see the things from my youth make a comeback.
