KC’S CREATIVE PLANNER

Have you ever heard the saying “failing to plan is planning to fail”? Well, it rings true. You don’t need to plan every detail to perfection, but getting your ideas down on paper and creating an outline of what and when will save you time and simplify showing up!

I like having this creative planner on hand so that I always have a place to jot down ideas when inspiration strikes.

Having access to my files wherever I go, a current backup of my work, and the ability to easily send and share files with clients is SO important to me. I trust Google Drive to deliver all of these capabilities and so much more.
