The Hitchhikers Guide to the Plannerverse - Episode 110 - One planner or multiple planners?


Your life All in One Place? 

We dedicate this episode to our dear friend Ray Blake and his blog 'My Life All In One Place'. 

Should you bring all of your planning, tasks, project management, reminders, notes etc etc in to one planner, or use different ones or even mix things up with digital planning as well as paper planning. 

Sit tight and we will help you through this rollercoaster of an episode.
