The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Plannerverse - Episode 30

Form Following Function

So you have decided on the size of your planner, but how do you decide what other features your planner needs.

When we talk about planners in this episode we aren't just referring to ring bound planners because other forms of planners can also have various storage options in their covers as well.

    1. Agreed, and given the journey I did in June to get there I was quite determined! Poitiers to London, London to Rotterdam by air instead of Poitiers via Paris to Rotterdam by train because of the train strike!
