December 2008 Planners Available

It’s time to pick up December’s Planners. I’m changing things up a bit in the hope that these updates become more useful for new and old readers alike.

A few quick notes I’d like to point out:

• I’ve included a User’s Guide for the Productivity Planners. I understand that those planners are fairly intimidating at first and wanted to give some pointers to help make the transition. The Guide is just text right now and is pretty ugly, but rather than obsess over making it pretty and new, I wanted to throw it out there and see if people liked it. I’d appreciate any feedback regarding the usefulness of the guide.
• The half-page version of “The Productivity Jumpstarter” is included in this month’s updates. Again, use it freely, but feedback is very much appreciated on this version.
• I’ve had several people ask me about the Freelancer planners. They’re up next unless another design hits me and I absolutely must get it out. Thanks for the pokes and nudges and please do keep them coming.

December is a great month for dreams, but the holiday mindset makes it a hard month to start and complete big projects. Take the month to dream big and finish some of the smaller projects - and while you’re with family, friends, and loved ones, think about the projects and the domains of your life that support who you want to be. Let’s come out swinging in January!!
