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.
