0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Best Laid Plans.
0:11.1	This is your host, Sarah Hart Unger, and this is the podcast where we talk all things planning
0:15.4	and planning adjacent.
0:17.5	Today we are going to talk about some exciting spring planner releases because it is that
0:22.8	time of year when all of the planners that start during the summer months start to come out.
0:28.0	And then because maybe I'm thinking a little bit more about those upcoming months and because

1:22.6	which also feels a bit extra. And sorry, I should probably review what the quintiles are once again.
1:28.0	Q1 is January 1st to spring break.
1:31.0	Q2 is spring break to the start of summer.
1:33.5	Q3 is the whole kind of summer break whenever your kids are off if you have kids or just those summer months.
1:39.2	Q4 is the back-to-school season until November 1st.
1:42.4	And then Q-5 is reflection season that November
