Here are April’s planners. I was going to do some April Fool’s shenanigans, but there’ll be enough of those running amok today already, so we’ll just have a little refuge of sanity here.

The Blog Post Planner and Calendar

The Freelancer Workweek
Basic Idea: Some of us work better to task than to time, and we need a planner that addresses how we work rather than making us fit how we work into it. This is a great one for freelancers and entrepreneurs.
Use when: You’re tired of time-based planners and want to get clarity on what needs to be done.
For more information: The Freelancer Workweek – skip down to “How to Use This Planner” if you don’t care about the design methodology.

If you’d rather not wait on me to update the free planners, you might consider buying the Premium Planners. If you don’t want to buy them, that’s cool – everything but the exclusive designs will be available for free around the beginning of the month.
