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.

How to Use Notepads in Your Planning Regimen Apr 30, 2021

Show notes

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.

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.

Amanda Hill - IG @myplannedobsession

I’m a self-proclaimed nerd. I enjoy all things, Marvel and Harry Potter. Coffee is my turn up, I could literally drink it all day. I’m a proud 6 which makes total sense because I’m a Hufflepuff. My husband and I speak in movie quotes. I’ve been married 10 years and have a 17-year-old stepdaughter. I am born and raised in Florida. My mom got me into planning in 2014 and I haven’t looked back. I’ve met some of my best friends through this community. Planning has let me feel the creativity that I was missing before.

My name is Anastasia, Stacy for short. I am a wife of 10 years and a mom to three beautiful girls, 15, 9, and 3. I struggled with infertility with my first daughter and had my last at age 41. I am an accountant by trade but switched careers this year and now work as a Finance Product Owner over ERP and my accounting background has been especially useful in my new role. This new position was a good fit as part of the requirement is to be able to view my team’s workload from a 50,000-foot viewpoint and be able to see the projects that may come down the pipeline and align our time and efforts to support them.

I have been planning since grade school, like most planners, starting with school planners, then a Franklin Covey. In 2015, I discovered the Happy Planner while in my last semester of college, taking three classes and working full-time with a toddler at home.

My hobby is decorating my planner and memory planning, I am an OG scrapbooker. I also have a love for shopping and Starbucks, but desperately need to develop a love for budgeting!
