Episode 101 / Do you want to be more organized in 2022? Do you love planners, calendars, and notebooks? Then this week’s episode with author and creator of The Author’s Planner, Audrey Hughey, is for you. If you’re not a fan of planners, don’t tune out. Audrey has a great perspective on making your plans work for you so that you’re not stressed out. We chat about what to do if you’re not a planner, how to handle it when plans change, and getting specific with targets so you can meet your goals. And Audrey introduces us to erasable pens–what magic is this?

Show notes:

• How Audrey set up a library of videos to help authors with their marketing
• Why Louis L'amour is an inspiration for her in her writing
• Why Audrey focuses on freedom and fulfillment instead of a financial number as her measure of success
• “Planning Fallacy” – why we don’t allow enough margin in our plans and how to account for delays and unforeseen interruptions 
• The difference between a goal and a target
• How The Author’s Planner grew out of Audrey’s need for a way to organize multiple areas of her life
• Why Audrey prints out her targets for each year and puts them in her office
