Today’s episode kicks off with a planner peace segment from @lindyplans, who has been tracking financial data in a $2 notebook for 17 years, following in her parents’ footsteps. So cool and a testament to the fact that methods matter so much more than tools!
Then, I share a listener tip about clear sticky notes (like these).
Then, I answer several questions collected during the month of October, including:
1- Recommendations for MONTHLY planners (without weekly or daily layouts)
Options discussed: Leuchtturm 1917, Hightide via Atlas Stationers, Erin Condren, Ashley Shelly (I use this one!), and the intriguing Midori Double Schedule.
2- How do avoid overplanning AND overtweaking your system? (Short answer: try hard not to mess with things that are working Make changes to you system specifically to address gaps and not just to generally improve or use something that looks cool.)
3- Follows up on how to process info saved in screenshots! In this segment, 3 listeners share how they effectively manage phone screenshots as capture tool.
