Keep It Simple Sweetheart (KISS)

This popular phrase was coined by Kelly Johnson an engineer from Lockheed and used in the mid-1900s by mostly military personnel. Now often used in tech. industries and in advertising design. In non-commerce, it's heard as an off-the-cuff remark to express one's opinion that what is happening is too complex or "too much". 



Simple vs. Easy article from Idea to Value Podcast by Nick Skillicorn

What is simple isn’t always easy.



Julie K. from Plan2Create is my planner GOALS! Or at least I really like her style. Form and function collide for a fantastic fusion of planner goodness. #colorcode



Acrostic Poems by Jessica McWilliams

Stunning

Ideas

Made

Purposefully plain,

Like but not limited to this

Elementary refrain



Creative

Operations

Made to mind-boggle &

Perplex,

Like but not limited to

Ending this poem with an

X



Equipped, effortless

Adept and agile,

Seldom seen a struggle

Yields all the while



Hence, only a half-hour had the hack;

Arranged an acrostic, under attack

     Hurried Artistry by Jessica McWilliams

Rendered his rhetoric, rushed his rhyme;

Doublets deduced in double-time

     Redeemed Design by Jessica McWilliams

Season 4, Episode 1

It's the start of a solo season showcasing planner basics, product trends, pretty stuff, productive stuff, and more.

A recent trend I'm seeing is an oldie but a goodie yet it feels fresh and disruptive at the same time.

It's notepads! 


Maybe notepads can be less fuss? 
Maybe notepads can be cheaper? 
Maybe we just want to rip out pages, crumple them in a ball, then light them on fire when the week is over? 

Whatever the case, notepads are making their resurgence with style. 



Wanna start a convo about notepads? Head to Planner Lifestyle fb group

Page Eleven Paper Goods (Wake Up and Work Daily Notepad)

Beespoked (Tear off Notepads)

My guest says it so well...
I am a business owner, wife, and mom to three boys. I have always wanted to own and grow a business, that is my first passion. My second passion is planning and knowing what I can do. Finally, my last passion would be learning and teaching history, especially American history.

I discovered goal planning just recently but it took me forever to find the right teacher and way. I am willing to figure things out and research until my answers are answered.  Sometimes I go down the rabbit hole of researching and researching for hours at a time.

After finally having my first son, I got a degree in Business Management. Then I got my real estate license to see if I could do it and be a business owner. In my last year of being a realtor, I started a YouTube Channel called Working Mom Plans, tried to grow it but it didn’t feel like a good start. So earlier in 2020, I deleted that channel and created a new one, still using Working Mom Plans but as of June I finally changed it to something I feel is me. I am a nerd in many things, planning, computer games, books, learning everything, and crocheting.
