My guest says it so well...

I am a business owner, wife, and mom to three boys. I have always wanted to own and grow a business, that is my first passion. My second passion is planning and knowing what I can do. Finally, my last passion would be learning and teaching history, especially American history.

I discovered goal planning just recently but it took me forever to find the right teacher and way. I am willing to figure things out and research until my answers are answered. Sometimes I go down the rabbit hole of researching and researching for hours at a time.

After finally having my first son, I got a degree in Business Management. Then I got my real estate license to see if I could do it and be a business owner. In my last year of being a realtor, I started a YouTube Channel called Working Mom Plans, tried to grow it but it didn’t feel like a good start. So earlier in 2020, I deleted that channel and created a new one, still using Working Mom Plans but as of June I finally changed it to something I feel is me. I am a nerd in many things, planning, computer games, books, learning everything, and crocheting.

How to Use Notepads in Your Planning Regimen

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.
