What do you think? Is the planner community dead? Recently we did a survey asking a variety of questions about how folks feel about many aspects of the community. We asked about how folks are shopping, connecting, and even what is missing. As we bring season 5 to a close this conversation gave us plenty to ponder on, and lots to consider heading into the new planner frontier. As always, we hope you will share your thoughts in our Facebook group or….apparently where people are connecting today…Instagram!
