March 2009 Planners Available

It’s time to pick up the planners for March. I almost got them out early…

Release Notes:

• The Weekly Productivity Planner has undergone very minor aesthetic revisions. It’s mostly spacing and block issues, but it’s a little prettier.
• The User’s Guide is up-to-date and sexier! I updated it to match the DPP’s new design and dropped into something that’s the start of my ebook design. As always, I appreciate feedback.
• The Freelancer Planner is…out for review! In case you missed it, I released a draft version earlier this month. It’s been downloaded over 400 times in a couple of weeks, making it the most successful new design launch to date. Yay!

I need your help! I’m reviewing these products to determine which I should launch as a hard product for sale. It’ll be a spiffy, hardy notebook laid out in an intuitive manner and will be in the sub-$20 range. The trouble is that they’re competing for my attention. This is where you come in: which series would you like to see first? Which is the most helpful? Your voice counts! Please voice your preference in the comments or by sending me some feedback email.

March is an exciting month. For many of us, winter is passing and we’re looking forward to spring and summer. Our energy is waxing due to more sunlight, and our future seems fresh. What can you do this month to catapult your momentum?

Okay, enough talk – the planners, already!
