Today on the podcast we’re starting a series on the 6 Keys to Creativity that inform how I operate.

I suppose a planner doesn’t necessarily have to have a calendar, but it’s certainly helpful. Today’s prompt is to start with your calendar. You don’t have to draw it out yourself unless you want to.
