The Hitchhikers Guide to the Plannerverse - Episode 55

Keeping up to date

There are many sources of information about planning out in the world these days not just books but videos, blog posts, Instagram etc etc. Keeping up to date with new ideas is a job in itself.

We attempt to give you some ideas on how to cope with information overload and share with you how we keep track of information to read later or make reference to at a later date.

If you have ideas for future episodes please send them to steve at philofaxy dot com
