Welcome to the spring semester! The inaugural podcast explores that nostalgic feeling of new school supplies with a research twist. Rebecca and Alexis dive deep into four tools for managing research.

There are tons of daily and weekly planners on the market. I (Rebecca) look for one that has a lay-flat binding, a monthly lay out at the start of each month, and one spread for each week, plus plenty of margin space, extra pages, or both throughout for to-do lists, goals, and progress tracking, and meeting notes. Some other factors to consider are the size of the planner (especially important if it needs to fit in a bag), page thickness (bleed through vs. added bulk), cover material (is it sturdy enough for the way you plan to use it), do you want extras (stickers, motivational quotes, boxes for all kinds of information) – and which ones do you really NOT want.
