Hello and welcome to Best Laid Plans.

0:11.0

This is your host Sarah Hart Unger and this is the podcast where we talk all things planning

0:15.0

and planning adjacent.

Today is a Q&A episode.

0:19.0

I am excited to tell you this Q&A series is brought to its support from

0:22.6

Jenny Kane, one of Best Laid Plan's longtime sponsors. So if you are looking to enrich your

0:28.1

fall or winter wardrobe with some sweaters, definitely head over to jenicane.com and you will find

0:34.7

some beautiful things there. But this episode has been inspired by many of you who wrote to me with amazing hot tips and questions.

0:43.3

And I just did a giant inbox excavation and unearthed so many gems that I'm not sure I'm going to be able to keep this episode within the usual time frame.

0:53.1

But we will see. We are going to start

1:25.8

time to write this out. So I'm going to share the gist of it with you. This comes from a woman named Sarah, but not with an age like me.

1:33.5

And she is a tenured professor at a big research university. And she's a mom to two kids, ages eight and

1:40.2

11. And she balances research, teaching, a lot of admin in her career as she's currently the

1:46.5

director of graduate studies. And she's also the primary family organizer of her household. And

1:52.7

she does almost all of her planning and tracking on paper and has one of the most comprehensive

1:58.8

systems I've ever seen. So this is a planner

2:02.3

piece that I think is worth hearing about, even if you're partly digital but looking to maybe

2:07.7

do some more things in an analog format in the next year or just wondering if it's possible.
