A former professional organizer, I now eliminate stress for my clients by hosting, monitoring, and maintaining their WordPress sites so they don’t have to worry about security, downtime or performance issues. When I’m away from my desk, I enjoy reading, photography, watching movies, and cooking.

    Hi Janet,

    I love paper planners – so this carnival is really a carnival for me! I will be going through all of these posts to look for ideas.

    Thanks for hosting and thanks for including me.

    Happy holidays!

      I know you’ll enjoy it, Neena! I was happy to see your name on the list, and hope you can join us again next year.

    Great roundup of authors! I use a paper planner, but I’ve never written a blog post about it! Part of the reason why I love it is that I simply don’t want to look at a screen anymore… somehow, the paper feels like a break for my eyes! I love the fact that there are tools for every preference and need these days.

      I’m surprised you haven’t blogged about it! Maybe next year… 😉

    Hi Janet,
    Most people I work with are using their phones for planning their day. I just haven’t been able to do that yet. I am old school and still love writing it down in a good old fashioned planner. Thanks

      A wise woman once told me to “embrace my paper-ness”. I took her advice back then, though I’m currently digital all the way. I think the best system is the one that will help you stay on track.
