The Hitchhikers Guide to the Plannerverse - Episode 93


How to plan your year in advance. 

We sometimes see people panicking about what planner to use, what size to use next year. Planners and inserts seem to come out earlier and earlier every year. People worry about not leaving it too late to get their inserts or planners for next year.

In this episode we challenge you to think about what you actually need for the forthcoming year, using your experience of the past year and any knowledge you have about events and tasks and goals for the forthcoming year.

Hopefully by the end of the episode you will have put together a plan of action for yourself in the next few weeks to start early in getting ready for the new planning year.

Thank you to our new Patreon supporters in helping bringing you this episode.
