Oh, the embarrassment – getting the first planners of the year out late! Ah well, nothing to do about slow hotel connectivity, files not syncing, and impromptu trips. Hopefully this won’t become a pattern.
I do have a few release notes this month, though:
- The “Productivity Planner” Series is now called the “Action Planner” Series. They are still the same basic designs, but there have been some tagline changes.
- The revised design for the Productivity Heatmap is still in the works. Some other designs took precedence this month.
Monthly Action Planner
Basic idea: Projecting effectiveness further into the future requires a more holistic view of your objectives.
Use when: You’re doing your month planning and review – this planner can be used with either the Productivity Planners or the Freelancer Workweek.

The Action Planner Series:

The Productivity Jumpstarter

The Blog Post Planner and Calendar
Basic Idea: Brainstorming and planning your posts ahead of time may help you have a more streamlined, consistent, and insightful blog. Your mileage may vary, but it’s worth a shot!
Use when: You’re thinking about what you’re going to write.

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.
