A photographer friend once told me that the best camera is the one you have with you. I think the same is true for planners — the best planner is the one you have with you.
In this episode, Kitty and I talk about different types of planners, and what we look for in a planner. We also share some details about the planners we’re actually using.
Planners are as individual as you are. We’d love to hear how to choose a planner, and what’s important to you, so feel free to post something in social media using the hashtag #anywhereist, or leave a comment here.
Scroll down for links to the many planners we discussed during the episode. (Note that some of the links are affiliate links – that means, if you click and end up purchasing, we earn a small commission. Your price is the same either way, so it’s a painless way for you to help support The Anywhereist Podcast!)
During the episode, Kitty and I each describe our own planners, and I promised a picture of mine. Enjoy!

Your co-hosts are Susanna Perkins (Anywhereist) and Kitty Navias.

Susanna’s a serial solopreneur, blogger, freelance writer, WordPress maven, and all-around portable career enthusiast. She developed her anywhereist lifestyle in an act of desperation following the US financial meltdown in 2009. During that time she’s moved 7 times, and worked from hundreds of locations at home and abroad.
Kitty’s a millennial with a lot of creative pursuits — she’s a musician, photographer, and writer. She’s traveled extensively, with plans for a lot more. On the show, Kitty will be providing us with tips and resources to keep our lives under control and moving in a forward direction as we become Anywhereists.
