April 2009 Planners Available

by Charlie Gilkey on April 2, 2009 · 7 comments

Yet another month birthed with irony, as I completely forgot to update the planners last week. But they’re available for download now!

Release Notes:

  • SXSW took most of my focus last month, so there was no progress on either revising the current planners or creating more.
  • I’ll probably complete the planner that compliments the Freelancer Workweek this month. I’ll probably spiffy up the Freelancer Workweek during that time, but there’s a lot in the air this month – bear with me!

April. Spring is upon us, and there’s a new energy in the air. What big projects have you been waiting to start? Feed off the energy of Spring and get them rolling!

Okay, enough talk – the planners, already!

The Freelancer Workweek

Interesting, Just tried it using Firefox, and it works just great. Not sure, why but the issue seems to be limited to IE and Chrome. . .

I am using Chrome as my default, but I get the same issue when I switch over to IE7. I have not tried Firefox. . . but will.

The error that I get is this: It returns a 404 error and attempts to connect to this URL: http://www.productiveflourishing.com/wp-content/up...'s_Guide.pdf

This is what I see when I hover over the link: http://www.productiveflourishing.com/download/Prod...

Not sure what is going wrong, but I will let you know if I see the same issue with Firefox.

@Catherine: Thanks a ton! It's nice to hear that it helped you get out that series - they've been helping me of late, as well.

@Mary: I'm pro-metaphor mixing and all about the delicious diversity. :p Thanks for letting me know you like them.

@Darkgarage: Thanks for letting me know about the link. It downloaded just fine for me - what browser are you using?

Thank you for providing all of this information. I just started reading your site recently and have really enjoyed diving into your content.

One thing, it looks like the link to the Productivity Planners User Guide is broken. . .

I found you through Naomi at IttyBiz. I love, love, love your planners. Thank you so much for making them and making them available to us for free.

The freelancer workweek planner helps me juggle the many irons I have in the fire right now (how's that for mixing my metaphors?). I'll be sure to come back and let you know how it worked out for me.
