Today is officially autumn, so it's time for another review of my planner system. Summer and July are now a distant memory. As the leaves begin to turn, am I still experiencing planner love this September? Yes! Have I made any small adjustments over the past few weeks? Of course! I'd love to think I'm a most productive person and that's why I'm always refining my methods, but I think it's more because when something … [Read more...]

in praise of an alarm
If you know me, you know I am not a fan of alarms ... or alerts. I shut off notifications to apps and email. My phone is on vibrate. My watch vibrates each morning to start waking me up so I don't bash the alarm clock too hard when it finally buzzes. However, some alarms are very important.
