Planning: general šŸŒ‡ Random Planning Thoughts (and Photos) Deserving No Thread Of Their Own

There’s a popular planning-adjacent podcast out there that planners like and support (based on the social media posts, reposts, likes, and comments that I see), and every time I try to listen to an episode that sounds interesting, I get all ā€œI can’t. I just can’t!ā€ A lot of buzzwords, a lot of hand-wringing, a lot of self-congratulatory back-patting, all with a healthy dose of finger pointing at the seemingly obvious albatrosses around the neck of planners. I know what the albatross is, and the host never quite comes out and straightforwardly calls it what it is, instead, the host uses code words and pulls out the ol’ ā€œthe revolution will come from the bottom upā€ rabbit from the hat, and guess what listeners, do I have the org and resources for you to make that happen!
That sounds like a Strong recommendation.
