Booklist Review

Spooner gives planning a whole new dimension, plus artistic flair and joy. Forget calendars, print or electronic; instead, Spooner recommends a combination of cerebral and creative approaches to arranging schedules and tasks. At play are various creative materials, like pens and notebooks as well as different formats for plotting (daily-weekly, monthly-quarterly-yearly). Readers will also ponder Spooner's tips for overcoming obstacles to remain dedicated and diligent planners. The variety alone of planning methodologies enumerated might make readers take a nap, but Spooner offers choices. Track habits or time. Maneuver between meal, work, and student responsibilities. Or divvy up tasks related to family, home, personal growth, entertainment, and/or service. The illustrations and 11 step-by-step examples (with color photographs and supplies, time, and difficulty indications) are charming yet daunting in terms of time expended. Applause for this first-time author who's got no time to spare: she also homeschools her five children. Appended with resource lists, fonts, and templates.--Barbara Jacobs Copyright 2018 Booklist
