Book Vs Movie The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (Replay) The Story Behind the 2008 Novel & the 2018 Movie Are you ready for a little 1940s weepy? The Margos sure are as they talk about the novel The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society that was started by Mary Ann Shaffer who brought on her niece Annie Barrows to help her finish when she became ill. Shaffer spent some time fogged in at the airport on the island of Guernsey which is located by the English Channel. After checking their local bookstore she found out the island was occupied by the Germans in World War 2 and she became obsessed with the idea of placing a historical fiction story based there. The novel is told in an epistolary format and features an array of intriguing characters who come together under terrible circumstances and create their own magical world. Taking place in 1946, London-based writer Juliet Ashton is stymied on what to write after her last book was a disappointment in sales. After starting a correspondence with a group of book club members based in Guernsey she impulsively decides to visit the island and her life is upended by the power of love. The film is from director Mike Newell and at the time of this recording, is streaming on Netflix. So between the novel and the movie--which did we like better?

A question I get asked often is, "How do you plan your day and keep track of everything in an organized manner?" Well, in this week's episode of The Crystal Paine Show, Jesse and I not only share what's saving our lives and talk about books we are reading, but we also give you an insider look into how we each plan our days. Jesse’s time management plan is a little more detailed than mine, but it works for him. He uses his Appigo app, his Michael Hyatt Full Focus Journal, and our family Google calendar to keep his tasks in order. For me, keeping three separate calendars would feel like overkill, but it works well for him. I like using my Google Calendar to brain dump all of the tasks and the activities for those tasks into one place. I share how I use a hybrid system of Google calendar + a time-blocked to do list and talk about why this works so well for me. Oh and I also talk about one tip that makes such a difference that I was a little embarrassed to admit until I saw that Cal Newport does it, too! In This Episode: [00:26] - Welcome back to the show! We share about our recent trip to Georgia, our time at Sweetwater Creek State Park, and my Mastermind one-day event. [05:31] - What’s saving our lives? Jesse: Appigo, his to-do list app. Mine: our electric tea kettle! [07:54] - Jesse’s reading The E-Myth Real Estate Investor. I just finished The Last Christmas in Paris. [11:51] - Today we wanted to share how we plan our days, especially since summer is almost over! [16:24] - With his 3 different calendars, how is Jesse not duplicating work/tasks? [17:25] - Learn why I love using Google Calendar to brain dump my day! [19:00] - While I don’t usually use my calendar for everyday tasks when I’m developing a habit I set a daily reminder. [20:39] - In the evening, I block out my time for the next day. [21:48] - My one not-so-minimalist habit is re-writing my task list halfway through the day and I share the three reasons why I think this is so helpful. [26:02] - Set realistic timeframes for the tasks on your list and start simple. [27:35] - Download my PDF on how I plan my days with Google calendar.
