Kelly wrote to us asking for us to discuss the following:
I was wondering if there might be an opportunity to do an episode about switching between planner sizes and doing so in a productive way. I know I'm guilty of switching between different sizes when my circumstances change.
It would be great to share ideas and resources for making the transition. I have been thinking of ways that I might do it and thought the process has probably already been successfully by someone else and I am reinventing the wheel.
So if there are resources and ideas that make it easier for myself and everyone else, I'd love to hear an episode about that.
At the stage where I am at now, I am wondering if I should do something like have all my important information typed out in one central location like Microsoft Word where I can edit it from there and then copy and paste to the relevant planner size and print it out so I'm not having to hand write all the information every time I change planner size.
We thought it was a great topic to tackle. We hope you enjoy it too.
