Using the Apple Pencil on my 11” iPad Pro worked for a long time. “Plans are worthless, but planning is everything.” – Dwight Eisenhowerįor a long time (a couple of years at this point), I’ve done this planning using a custom template I created inside of GoodNotes.
Your day may never go exactly according to plan, but that’s okay – it’s the simple act of planning that produces the intentionality. At the heart of a timeblocking practice is an intentional plan for how you’re going to spend your time. I’ve been fascinated with the topic of timeblocking for quite a while (so much so I convinced Shawn we should make a course on the topic). Our team here at The Sweet Setup put together a short list of our must-have, most-used apps for writing, note-taking, and thinking. We spend an inordinate amount of time sorting through hundreds of apps to find the very best. In this post, I want to share with you the specifics of my hybrid productivity system, the inspiration behind it, and how (and why) it works. This journey took me a few places I didn’t fully expect, but the resulting hybrid system has been working great and has helped me find that elusive sweet spot between intentionality and efficiency. That doesn’t mean I’m ready to burn the bridges and leave everything digital behind, but it does mean that I’ve been rethinking a lot of things recently, including the way I get things done.
During this pandemic, I’ve found myself drawn to the siren song of analog more than ever before. At its core, a screen is simply a slab of glass – cold, sterile, and impersonal. There’s something about using a nice notebook and a fancy fountain pen that inspires joy in a way even the most beautifully designed application can’t. Which is a big reason why I’ve started doing a lot more with pen and paper. I love trying new apps and making my devices dance.īut with everything going on in the world the last couple of months, I’ve also found it to be especially difficult to navigate emotionally.

Baron Fig Planner, The top shows the darker printing of the 2017 edition vs the lighter printing of the 2016 edition. If Baron Fig continues with the same format, I believe I will be purchasing the 2018 model when it comes time to do so. Baron Fig Planner 2017, A slight color difference when you look a the covers side by side.Įverything from my 2016 planner review still applies with the exception of the darker page printing. I am no longer employed at that company so I will not have that issue for 2017. The planner lived most of the last year close to my office window. I suspect it is probably due to exposure to UV from the sun. My old one is a slightly different shade of gray. This is not a bad thing as I found that the 2016 model had rather light printing. The printing in the book is just darker than the 2016 model. The paper is the same fountain pen friendly paper from 2016. So far, from what I can tell, the 2017 planner is pretty much the same except for one detail. I have used it the whole year and have been very happy with it. It was the first ever Baron Fig product I had ever purchased and I found my planner peace. Last year I purchased a Baron Fig planner.
