The Planner Experiment: The Second Quarter
Here we are. It’s the end of March, the end of the first quarter of the year. A good time to review our progress and create new goals for the next quarter.

I’m glad I did. There’s nothing wrong with my reading gluttony. I should not have imagined IContinue reading “Realistic Goal Setting vs. Creative Chaos”
See into the future: No more missed opportunities

A new year, a new project I have an exciting new project for this year inspired by a tweet from Julie Reeser (@abetterjulie) asking about end of year processing and planning.
