================================== Dear all, I got myself a new client and will be starting work with them Oct 15. If this works out, it might mean a more permanent position with the company. While this is exciting development, it means that I'll have even less time than I now do for videos. So I thought I'd push this video out before I drown in work. I'm committed to updating my Instagram regularly, though. So, please follow me there (instagram.com/yukikosakamura) if you wanna see my latest planner/productivity ideas!

Dear all, Sorry for going on an unannounced hiatus. There are many reasons I stopped posting videos regularly. The biggest is time. It takes me at least 30 hours to make these kinds of videos, from conceptualization to testing and drawing the layouts to recording multiple takes. Unfortunately, due to my other commitments, it is no longer possible for me to devote such a significant amount of time to producing these videos. I am still committed to producing videos, but can only do so sporadically. I hope you understand. If you want to see my latest planning ideas, please drop by my Instagram (instagram.com/yukikosakamura/). I post much more regularly there, at least once a week. Wishing you all the best, YukikoPlanner Flipthrough (Jan - Apr 2018)Yukiko Sakamura2018-05-05 | I think there might be something wrong with my microphone. The volume of this video seems softer than usual. Sorry! I'll try to see if I can get another phone to record my videos.
