Hello and welcome to Best Laid Plans.

This is your host, Sarah Hart Unger, and this is the podcast where we talk everything, planning

and planning adjacent.

I was going to do the September Q&A episode.

perhaps they'll still spark some other thoughts. Now, I'd also love it if you add your own favorite

productivity or planning related tips that help with work. So of course, you can find in the show
