BLP Ep #316: 8 Back-to-School Planning Tactics and All About Quintile 4

August 17, 2026

In today’s episode, I confess to my recent planner switchup, and then share ALL of my love for Quintile 4, some “throwback” fall favorites (1990s ‘back to school’ magazine issues anyone?) , and 8 planning tactics for the back to school season.

1996. Also Bjork is timeless.
I absolutely had this issue (Aug 1994). And hey! Today people may be diagnosing themselves with AI, but look – they used to do it with magazines!

(Probably neither ideal . . .)
