Episode 61 - Paper Planners: Why Writing It Down Beats Digital, with Sam Smith of Hello Time

In this episode Kathy meets a fellow planner obsessive.
Sam Smith, founder of Hello Time, couldn’t find a paper planner that worked for her, so she designed her own. They get into what belongs in a planner and what to leave out, why vertical or horizontal layouts matter, and why planning is worth it even if you’re tempted to just crack on.
Kathy explains why her working life runs in ClickUp but her thinking happens on paper.
She also covers the research on writing by hand: it helps your brain take in, summarise and remember information. Rewriting your to-do list makes you decide what still matters. A finite page also shows you quickly when you’ve taken on too much.
Sam gives a creative’s take on how a planner sparks ideas and connects dots in a way a digital list can’t, and shares tips for setting one up and sticking with it.
