Hello and welcome to Best Laid Plans. This is your host, Sarah Hart Unger, and this is July of 2021.

And as I mentioned, I am going to be taking a little bit of a break from new episodes during this month.

However, I thought it would be really fun to bring you some of our greatest hits from the archives.

We may not have, you know,

piles and hundreds of archive episodes, but there are still some really fun past episodes and

guests that I would love to re-share with you from previous months. So I've picked four of my

favorites and we'll be airing them this month before I am back with brand new content in August.

So here we go with our first previous favorite episode.

Hello and welcome to Best Laid Plans.

This is Sarah Hart Unger and you are at the podcast where we talk about all things planning and planning adjacent.

Today's episode is going to be all about the quintile.

Now, those of you who are familiar with my work on other podcasts or have been listening

for a while, you may know what I'm talking about when I say quintile.

However, this is not a word that has made it into the mainstream vernacular, so I guess I

will do a little bit of an introduction here.

So I have decided that the year should be divided up instead of into four quarters, as is more common, into five quintiles.

And the reason that we're doing this episode today is that for me, the end of my first quintile is right around now.

I'll talk about why I say around now because there's not really an exact date this year, because it depends

on my kids' spring breaks, and my kids have two different spring breaks. So anyway, but most of you

as this airs are also headed into quarter to if you plan by quarters. So since we do align this time,

as we might at other times, and we might not at other times, I thought this would be an

opportune moment to have this discussion.
