  • For 32 years of my life, we lived by my husband's calendar. It was a paper book from the dollar store, but it worked. One day we had a scouting event, my daughter's birthday, and a scout dinner all at once. It was a crazy day, but everything got done. Now with my husband gone and my children grown, I am working on my own method of planning, so your video was a big help.

  • This is amazing. I grew up with this method because that's what my school in Portugal gave us at the beginning of every year. One A4 sheet with the whole year laid out with all our assignments and holidays on it. When I moved to the UK it was so odd to me that students didn't receive anything like this and I've been doing this for years now, specially in uni. Great video! More people should do this!

Every time when I make myself a new routine, I always feel overwhelmed and guilty because there is so much that I want to do, but I can't cause I'm prioritizing other things. Choosing not to make the time means I still have control over what I am doing every day and I'll make time for something else in the future.

I have terrible object permanence because of my adhd so planners were always the worst because of this! I’ve been using methods similar to this and they’re the only thing that’s ever worked for me.

      @KiraFriede@KiraFriede11 ай бұрын
    • @@KiraFriede I believe it was used correctly, as object permanence pertains to many things - objects, people, responsibilities, etc. It's not that we "think" someone doesn't exist when they leave the room, but more of an "out of sight, out of mind" kind of thing, with anything related to object permanence. It's not that we forget they exist or never think about them (which would be FAR from accurate), but we very easily forget about things, including people sometimes, in regards to reaching out to them or doing something that we meant to or wanted to do for them. We know they exist, we just get "lost" in all the other stuff our brains are thinking about - objects to keep track of, appointments and schedules, endless to-do tasks (both big and small), the almost constant flow of random ideas, thoughts, worries, and all the *other* people in our lives!! It becomes so overwhelming to keep it all straight and remember every single thing at the priority level that we should. Our brains think differently, which is sometimes a blessing and sometimes a curse, but everyone who legitimately has it understands how extremely difficult it can be to manage at times. And the symptoms for it, whether for kids or adults, differ for each person as well as the degree of each of those symptoms.

This includes rest time to keep my life in balance, new clients, a new insight, filing taxes (not exactly a goal but I always need the motivation). I can then tell at a glance what goals I have been making big strides with, which ones are getting attention but not moving much, and which are stagnating.

This is fab and I will deffo be trying it out for the remainder of 2023 to increase efficiency. I hope to use this to boost productivity for mundane tasks so I free more time for all of us to have intentional family bond building.

  • I love trying to find new ways to be more efficient and productive. I haven't seen your method or videos until now but... this weekly calendar method is exactly what do at work. All tasks are scheduled and colour code, I can drag and adjust time if need, lunch is blocked out, travel is included, higher priority items are colored bright and when a task is done the task is changed to grey. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

But listening to you, I realized that I was using the tool incorrectly, trying to cram too many things in (like my equivalent of guitar lessons) instead of prioritizing better. Adding this tool to the 3 daily quests, I expect will be a game changer. Thx again.

  • This is so important. I always felt like I never saved time to do the stuff I like, but being intentional about your time makes all difference. " I'm choosing to not prioritize this or that right now" is so much better than " I don't have time to do what I like". Nice video.

  • Interesting take, I’m going to apply this to a very dynamic family setting where there is an unreliable co-parent in the mix. I did the annual method you have accidentally while bullet journaling as well and felt the best when I had that spread accessible. Life has changed immensely since then (a partner, 2 bonus kids and a newborn) and crave that ‘in control’ sense of time and life management. Thank you for this breakdown AND the free template! This is also the first video of yours I’ve seen and intrigued to what else you’ve shared with us on this side of the web.
