There's as many different planning styles as there are people who plan things. Whatever makes you happy - from a cheap notepad and that crappy ballpoint that you got from a tradeshow to a super high end paper planner to the notes app on your phone to a synchronized set of digital planning tools.

If it keeps you on track, then it's good enough, and good enough is perfect.

I'll keep y'all updated on the Aura Estelle though!

Happy Planning!

So for today's #BlaugustPost I'm gonna talk about PLANNERS.

I've been a Hobonichi Cousin devotee for the last two years, and for the longest time it was exactly what I needed. But I'm finding that I don't use the daily pages as much as I'd like - and in fact, some weeks I don't use them at all.

I have a layout in my weekly that covers all the big stuff, and then work stuff is going in our PM tool.

So let's go planner diving.

I have big emotions, but I also have big hugs.

There's enough to go around.

/fin #Blaugust2023 #BlaugustPost

Which I suppose is one of those privileges afforded to a middle aged lady.

Perhaps this is my #BlaugustPost today

That I love with my whole heart, in all the different ways that you can love, and that many of those loves bring me to tears. I celebrate Esther day wholeheartedly, but in a way, every day is Esther day for me.

I haven't done a Compliment Bomb for Mastodon yet, but maybe I'll do that once I'm home.

Please know that if you need a hug today, I have one for you.

I didn't set out to write a post thread here, but as I am categorically incapable of shutting the fuck up? Well, here we are.

So I'm tagging this as a life update, thanking you all for your patience as I deal with a week where I worked 35 hours in three days and tried to prep for my first significant vacation in over a year.

To wrap up - if you were getting on a plane to go camping, what's one item you'd not forget to bring?

Because the rest of us are out here *looking for* those moments when other players surprise us. Even if some days it means that we have to put up with the annoying guy or (heaven forbid) be bored because the thing going on isn't our cup of tea.

It's collaborative and cooperative. Means you gotta collaborate and cooperate.

Otherwise?

Quitcherbitchin'.

Alright - I'm behind on Blaugust, largely because I both got a new boss and then went on vacation. My Mastodon time is much more limited.

That said! Here's a crankypants #BlaugustPost about roleplaying in an MMO (but it's applicable to TTRPGs too).

Please know that this is just me being cranky, etc etc. I don't hate you. I'm just tired of having this same argument over and over again.

Welcome to Blaugust2023 - I'm going to be blogging here, using the hashtag BlaugustPost (so y'all know it'll be a threaded post) as well as the usual Storytime hashtag if I'm doing a longer narrative.

Today is for introductions!

So hi! I'm Anna!!

@OffFleekGeek @belghast @rakuno @jaedia #BlaugustPost is shorter! And possibly more obvious what it is?
