Does anyone have any good recommendations for an awesome day planner that has different sections to organize daily tasks, daily goals, monthly goals, meal planning, etc.? I have a hard time keeping things straight and often have so many notes in my notes app it's just a lot to dig through.

I like using the Full Focus Planner in conjunction with a task management app called Nirvana (which is based on the methodology of the book Getting Things Done)

I like the Erin Condren planners. They’re a little pricey, but they come with lots of space keep track of everything. I’ve also used Happy Planner before, and they’re a cheaper version, plus you can get goal setting specific ones if that’s more what you’re looking for.

How many married professionals with young families are just sticking it out “for the kids”? Marriage is very dead and has been for a while. Young kids 4 and 1.

I’m so ready to leave… I just can’t bear the thought of doing it to my children even though another part of me feels like wife and I would both be better parents if our lives were separate.

Dyslexia! After having our kindergartener son tested (privately) related to ADHD, we were told he may have dyslexia too (which would explain why he struggles so much with phonics but is amazing at sight words). He has a very high IQ.

Fourth-year associate. I will soon be commuting to Midtown Manhattan to a firm that pays market. From a financial perspective, am I completely nuts to be driving in and parking? Between tolls and parking, it’s going to be close to $10K a year as opposed to the bus/train being between $2500-$3000 a year. Thing is, bus/rail is pretty reliable in the morning (in terms of availability of options), but if I’m working late service gets dodgy and I like the freedom of having my own vehicle (cont.)
