    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    My guest says it so well...

    Hi, I’m Shae’
 a 30 something wife, boxer dog mom to Lennox and Layla amongst many other things. Though I’ve been planning pretty much since middle school, I’ve been in the planner community for about 5 years though most don’t know me. That’s because I am an introvert that talks only when I have something to say. 

    When I’m not planning, I am a full-time Math Coach in the public-school setting. I was able to take the planning skills I’ve learned over the years into how I manage my schedule and time at work. With that, I’d say planning is much more than a habit for me. It’s a skill that has definitely helped me stay organized while allowing me to be creative. That’s one of the main reasons I enjoy the planner community. 

    It’s not only because I like planning, but mostly because I have found so much inspiration from the people in the community. There are some amazing people that bring so much positivity into the world through more than a planner.

    I'm a stay-at-home mom and venturing into homeschool this year for Pre-K. I have been planning and sticker obsessed since middle school and practicing hand-lettering since early 2017. I joined the planner community shortly after and finally feel like I'm finding my path and following my heart. 

    I'm newly into crystals for healing purposes and I like sharing little bits about them on my planner posts.

    August 13th, 2020 was National Prosecco Day, so we are toasting the occasion with a podcast interview! BTW: Save Water, Drink Prosecco! After a decade in social media content/digital marketing, she has learned a thing or two about the balance of life online Constantly consuming content creates a creative block for her, but why? We discuss the harmful and helpful side of the social media hustle. She's drinking LaMarca.  Her planner is a Notiq A5 with Jesenias Printables I'm drinking Chloe. My planner (at the moment) is a stack of post-it notes scattered all over my monitor.

    My guest says it so well...

    My name is Rachel. I started YouTube in 2012 as a hobby to do make-up videos and relax after work. I enjoyed my time doing that and interacting with the small community that grew around that channel. Around the time I started to drift away from being passionate about make-up tutorials I discovered the planner community and purchased my first Erin Condren planner. 

    As I became engaged with the planner community, I purchased my first Silhouette Cameo. My intention was to make stickers for myself, but with encouragement from my family, I decided to open an Etsy shop and list some of the stickers I had designed myself. That was in 2015. 

    Fast forward 5 years and Sticky Situations Co continues to grow year-over-year. It has pushed me to grow with my business and re-ignited my passion for YouTube as my channel transitioned from make-up to planners and lifestyle.
