Intro to analog planners and life logs with Shasta Garcia

Build an analog planner that adapts to your needs — an introduction to popular dot journaling techniques. Find the fun and creativity in planning. You’ll learn tools to organize and reflect on your days, months, and year.

For 10 years Shasta has been remixing journal methods and collecting analog tools. She shares it all with you, breaking down the core elements while teaching visual concepts that aid in planning, organization, and reflection.
