Wish I'd Known Then . . . For Writers How to Plan for the New Year with Audrey Hughey
Episode 101 / Do you want to be more organized in 2022? Do you love planners, calendars, and notebooks? Then this week’s episode with author and creator of The Author’s Planner, Audrey Hughey, is for you. If you’re not a fan of planners, don’t tune out. Audrey has a great perspective on making your plans work for you so that you’re not stressed out. We chat about what to do if you’re not a planner, how to handle it when plans change, and getting specific with targets so you can meet your goals. And Audrey introduces us to erasable pens–what magic is this?
Show notes:
