We all go through phases ~ sometimes it’s the perfect brush, sometimes a pen, sometimes a piece of software, or even a random household item that sneaks its way into the process. Right now, mine is my Clever Fox Planner (but it's such an important tool for me to keep everything in order when chaos is a wrong date or plan away). What’s the tool you’ve been reaching for the most lately? Drop it below 👇 and let’s see what everyone’s obsessed with right now!
