The Hitchhikers Guide to the Plannerverse - Episode 11

Planner Fail

You’ve got everything lined up, all the pens and markers match, the stickers are the perfect shade of (insert favourite colour here), the moon is waxing, and Mars is not in retrograde for once. However, you look down at your planner and suddenly NOTHING WORKS! You are in a strange dimension called “Planner Fail.”

In this episode, the gruesome twosome explore identifying a planner fail and more importantly, navigating out of it just in time to note the next episode of HitchHiker’s Guide to the Plannerverse in your now brilliant planner set up.
