#102: Resources for further study on effective planning

We didn't just invent our method out of thin air. Behind it lies a lot of honest work, original research and professional literature over the course of three years. In the beginning, certainly not with the aim of creating our own diary, rather to solve our own problems. However, we believe that sharing is caring .

Continuous education

We believe that The Journal method will bring a system into your life that you can adapt to your own needs. Quality planning should not tire a person, on the contrary, it motivates performance and helps in the realization of our dreams.

But we haven't eaten all the wisdom in the world. Not to mention that there is always room to learn more and grow. Before we decided to include something in the Journal, we tried it ourselves and tested it with users. The journal is therefore a diary built on data. That's why we wanted to add some recommendations to the Journal, where you can find inspiration, interesting information and other methods and tips that will help you. And it wasn't really easy to choose just a few.

We've read dozens of books, listened to dozens of hours of podcasts, and studied countless blogs. We want to share the best of them with you in this article. Just be careful not to get dizzy from the amount! :)
