Here are March’s planners. I meant to get them out last week, but I wanted to wait until this month’s surprise was ready. Enjoy!
Release notes:
- The reception for the Premium Planners has been phenomenal! Thank you for all the feedback and requests. Speaking of requests…
- There’s now a premium version of the Blog Post Planner and Calendar. I didn’t prep them in last month’s release because I didn’t think anyone would want them. Man, was I ever wrong! Due to near-daily requests for them, I’ve bundled them up and included them on the Premium Planners page. (If you bought the All-In-One Pack, check your email – you got them for free. Thank you for supporting R&D!)
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.

Just thought you’d like to know — showed the freelancer workweek to my boyfriend (who has thus far hated every time-management tool I’ve shown him) and he thought he looked pretty cool.
But he’d like it as an app for his phone. He’ll be getting a Droid in a month or two, so MY top priority is Android rather than iphone.
What serendipity!! I spent all day yesterday (seriously) reading Scribe to the Tribe and some of your other writings. Imagine how happy I am today to find this site, full of all kinds of helpfulness. Is there a link to this site at your new blog? If not, there should be; these planners are awesome. By the way, I got here from Heather’s blog, which I got to by the ProBlogger guest post she did. Thanks!
Thank you for the comment and letting me know how you got here, but I’m confused by what “new blog” you’re referring to. This is my one and only blog.
And I’m really glad you like the planners. I hope they help.
OK, my bad. Had you confused with Scribe to the Tribe’s Charlie Forness. Brain fart, I guess. Result of following too many links in one day. In any case, your planners are still AWESOME!
