Season 4, Episode 1
It's the start of a solo season showcasing planner basics, product trends, pretty stuff, productive stuff, and more.
A recent trend I'm seeing is an oldie but a goodie yet it feels fresh and disruptive at the same time.
It's notepads!
- Maybe notepads can be less fuss?
- Maybe notepads can be cheaper?
- Maybe we just want to rip out pages, crumple them in a ball, then light them on fire when the week is over?
Whatever the case, notepads are making their resurgence with style.
