Thanks so much for attending my session during Nicola’s event. I hope you found it engaging and helpful without being too overwhelming (because we could all use a little less of that these days!).
To follow-up on our session (and to help keep it simple for you), I’ve written out bullet points and quotes that were used in the session and selected ten posts from PianoPantry.com that might be useful to you. Organization and productivity are some of my favorite topics!
Feel free to contact me if you ever need anything – I love hearing from readers!
