Keepin' It Simple...Sunshine.

I didn't call my self-publishing process Simply Self-Published for nothing. I like things to be simple - as in uncomplicated. I know 'simple' doesn't always equate to easy, but in most cases, the less confusion there is around what to do, the better.

To that end, the two main tools I use to manage my business systems are some of the simplest on the market - a desk pad calendar and a dot grid notebook. Of course there are a butt ton of pens, stickers, and such but those are accessories to the process; completely optional if you will.

Desk Pad Calendar

I have it hanging on the wall in my work area. I use it for planning, tracking, and motivation.
