In the past decade we've covered a wide range of topics on the Simple Scrapper blog, in classes, and on the podcast. Going forward we're going to simplify by focusing on one theme at a time. And at the end of every month, my teaching assistant Kim Edsen will join me to chat about our lessons learned and preview what's coming in the month ahead. These will be more casual back-and-forth conversations that we hope will also offer a small peek behind the scenes of the business. This month our conversation overflowed the original time slot, so I've broken it into two episodes running about 45 minutes each. Part 2 will air on Monday, December 2, 2019.

Which planner is the best? You know us well enough to expect "whichever one works best for you." That's just part of the answer we're sharing in today's episode. I'm joined by my friend Alissa Williams, whom you heard in episode #28, to run down all of the planners we've tried in the past decade. We'll share what's worked well and which planners were total fails. If you're still in search of planner peace, this one is for you!
