Superheroes Need Super Organization: Planning and Planners for Librarians

Juggling patron programming, reference questions, and other projects? Struggling to get things done? Sounds like a job for some super organization! Our heroes show off how they stay (relatively) organized for work while being pulled in all directions by distractions, deadlines, and difficult patrons. With planners, project planning tools, and stickers, they organize a multitude of job responsibilities, projects, and programs. After trying out almost every planner system on the market, our heroes will share their knowledge, experience, and examples to save you time, headaches, and massive amounts of frustration. No one system or set up works for everyone, so try out different planner layouts, project pages, binders, and more to find your next tool to fight back the chaos in our hands-on planner petting segment. Explore a wide range of options including bullet journaling, project planning worksheets, the ubiquitous post-it note, commercial planners and DIY home brews, and more!
