There is no way i could do that routine. I have to work really early and make sure i do for my ill husband before I leave for work.

Dealbreaker is that they start the week on a Monday instead of Sunday.

This is one of your best videos, Rachael! Awesome concept and explanations!!! ❤

I work in a public school as a support professional so my initial thought was that I’d follow a similar cycle as you, but actually I think summer stretches out too much without things to do and work on (since I don’t usually work during this period or only do some half days at camp for a few weeks). Jan/Feb is always the craziest time for me since part of my role is filling in as a sub as needed and it is needed as that is when all the crud is flying around and there are never enough subs to cover it all. I really think that is my best time for rest when it comes to personal projects/side hustles, because I’m just too shattered from the day.

If you ever wonder why parents of young kids are highly strung and can't remember anything, this is why. We don't have the luxury to follow our own seasonality and getting decent sleep is unachievable. We therefore become burnt out and frankly, crazy....

Love your content - it’s so unique and very helpful

Such a smart video. I'm so visual and really enjoyed all the graphics. I "think" like this.

I haven't been in school in decades but I maintain the actual new year is the end of August, when school begins. Even if you don't have kids, so many other industries are affected by the usual school schedule. January 1 is just wannabe new year; it happens in the middle of the real cycle of society.

Good advice - great reminder that I am still on the academic cycle even as a retired teacher as I write and illustrate a book.

For monthly cycles, can use the 4 phases of the menstrual cycle (follicular, ovulation, luteul and menstruation) or the moon phases (new, waxing, full, waning) to figure out best energy times for doing vs. resting.

Currently in my fall/crazy period at work, so I'm just trying to make it till August when my winter starts and I can go on vacation😅

I'm in a weird phase of life. I feel like I've been going back and forth between spring and summer. I'm starting a new job, so I don't know how to break out of this.

Thank you 🙏 A much needed and wanted video. Especially for us side hustlers. Great tips!

this is liiiiiiiiterally genius!!!!! one of my imposter syndrome things is feeling like i was never accomplishing anything, but what actually kept happening was people kept coming in with last minute things for me to solve, taking away from planned tasks!!!!!

My husband used a paper calendar when we met because there was no internet yet. For our entire marriage, his calendar was THE LAW when we made plans or appointments. Sadly, when he died 6 years ago, I was so used to his calendar that I had no routine. It took me most of the first year to make a routine for myself. I had to figure out how to plan. Now, I put my appointments on my phone and then add them to my planner as soon as I can.

I can't imagine having more than one planner. I've been making my own planner using a variety of RUclips channels for guides. My health has been a problem lately, which means having to replan when I'm "back on the wagon." I use a vertical weekly view and divide it into 6 blocks for computer work, memory writing, managing and organizing my home, and my faith and fitness areas. As a young wife and mother, I followed the Slob Sisters with their Basic Week Plan and Activity list, which involved putting everything to be done on 3 x 5 cards and rotating them through a file box. This kept my house clean and allowed time for my family and for me. Now, this is transferred to my planner, which is a little more portable.

Personally I would treat the work block as being at work, inclusive of the meetings, interruptions etc if you're at work, you are working. So I ignore that till I get to the office ☺️ I've pretty much ditched TV, putting my phone down is my next step. Although the euros over here is such a temptation and is interfering with my bedtime My opinion is that I'm so engrained with what society says is normal that putting myself 1st seems unnatural, I need to buck the trend and get comfortable saying 'nah, I went to bed' when asked did I watch the football or something else Ive set my phone to 'Do not disturb' between 8pm and 4am, generally my wake up time. Evening exercise, depending on how close to bedtime, will affect when you can get to sleep too. Also the cold shower will also affect getting to sleep I have my cold shower 1st thing regardless of when I exercise Hope some of that helps, there will be bits you need to grow in to so keep plugging away and it'll become easier esp the cold shower I can now do 3, 4, 5 minutes with worries 😊

I tried to cousin for two years (my first Hobonichi in 2021 and this year) and I like it very much but I agree with you the smaller planters feel a lot more natural. I have been using a weeks now for a few weeks and I really like it. This is my first time in a weeks and I'm really hoping it will work even though it's much smaller, but even if it doesn't work out, I think I'm gonna get in A6 next year instead of a cousin, but hopefully the weeks will be large enough and I'll order that for next year instead.

Love this! Thanks so much !!

You are wonderful- thank you so much for all you share!

4000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman. Life changing. Great video Rachelle, thanks for the suggestions. GTD changed my life as well.

The key to making quarterly planning work for me is limiting my main projects to three and only scheduling those. Those are the "big rocks," everything else goes where it fits. All of them have vague but defined deliverables. So for editing a book, I'll give each sequence 2 weeks. The details of what I do weekly I'll plan the week before. I work in 30-minute Pomodoros and keep track of those. Over time, I know how long I'll work on a main task each week, which helps future planning. But I'll leave days open for planning that day; I only know the week's goal in advance, and that goal's based on the quarter goal. This has worked for about 2 years now.

I hope your employer doesn't watch this video. Then they will know you were working on RUclips during the hours of your day job. 4:31

Such a silly comment but your hair is so long now, it looks lovely! Thank you for creating such helpful and thoughtful content every week <3

I believe that every RUclips routine can be modified to suit your lifestyle. Somebody below even says that the 90 minutes of focused work doesn’t have to be all in one sitting. I mean, You can accumulate like half an hour there and another half an hour somewhere else and another half an hour somewhere else for example.. Also, I think that his lifestyle can probably work if you’re somebody who wakes up early like at 5 AM. If you wake up just before it’s time to wake your kids up and do their whole morning routine with them, then you’re screwed. If you wake up just before it’s time to get ready for work, you’re screwed. A lot of people just go to bed early and then wake up early so that they could have time for self-care, or to do a few extra chores early. So, while that would take time to get used to, it can be done that way.

Me working a graveyard shift 😫

Only now have I really gotten to planning. I just use the monthly planner since Daily planning is just too specific. I just need to know whats due when. I don't care to know what hour I'm doing it nor the specifics of it. But now I don't know what to do with the pre-printed daily planner sections. I don't need a to-do list since I just use a sticky note on the monthly planner spread. I know this video was 11 months ago, but I need ideas.

I have to be at work at 6am. The sun is not even up when i wake up most days. And i only get a 30 minute lunch break. I have just enough time to eat and pee. This routine is pretty unrealistic for most people, I think.

I only discovered this video today - BUT I AGREE: Different styles for different times! As a student, very much artsy and maximalist, for work I love minimalist and for personal/hobbies I love scientist meets artsy

This is geared towards writers: Around the Writer’s Block by Rosanne Bane. It looks at brain science to solve various kinds of writing/creative resistance you’re having in being productive. I found it fascinating and really helpful! 📝

I like a weekly planner. I have a monthly calendar for my family. I use a checklist for daily routine activities. If I need a more detailed list, I use a sheet of paper. Kathy B

Just wanted to thank you because this video really, really helped me with my overwhelmed state! Since I started a daily schedule, I have felt more in control of my to-do lists and have actually been more productive (and calm)! I have been able to prioritize tasks more effectively, and be more realistic about what I can accomplish during certain slots in my day, because I was able to see the amount of time I had available. It really was the missing piece in my system!!

Most of the workers are not productive anywhere between 13 to 25 hours a workweek. The most important question is: are you managing to get your important things done in the productive time remaining for you? If not, then it might be the productivity issue...

My problem is the opposite of "I am so busy and don't think I have time for stuff." I'm childfree, don't have local friends, set my schedule at work (flexible remote gig), and generally don't have many responsibilities to other people. I have all the time in the world to do what I want with my day, which seems like it should solve the problem of "I don't have time for the things I want to do," right? Nah. 😅 It's still surprisingly difficult to do the things that I want to do, but I know it's a mindset issue. Therapy is helping a lot with it. Something I've tried doing with my bullet journal is making a "needs-based" daily spread instead of grouping all the things I want to do into one to-do list. So I'll write a header with a need like "create" or "move" and write down the task that fulfills that. It has helped, but with any change to our lives, it's taking a bit of time/learning for me to commit to the things that I want and need to do for myself.

❓who is “Michele b”? Just wondering if she does videos like yours, because your videos are so, so helpful, and, if someone out there is doing videos similar to yours, I don’t want to miss out 😊.

This is a great video! I took notes. I have been floundering since I finished my masters degree and have had trouble finding a job. However, half of this video is an ad for Akiflow, who has no iOS, MacOS, iPadOS integration. Though, you can use a calendar of your choosing. Tic Tic also has task and calendar integrations. I will just stick with my cousin and apple calendar. I refuse to give private information to google, and I am in the process of de-googling my life.

I hate the type of washi tape that you have to peel the backing off 😭😭 it's so annoying

I always look forward to watching your videos.

Thank you so much. I will time track too because I think it will help a lot with improving my planning. Normally I only use Eisenhower, Eat that frog and Ivy Lee. Have a great start into your week 🍀

Please do not have 'music' playing in background. It's very distracting; especially when speeding up video. It seems before you only played it in intro?

So many great tips, so good 😊😊

Love you grl from India

I thought the whole point of plannertube was... planning. Usually in a planner. Because one has plans. Didn't you do a whole bunch of Hobonichi planner hauls? I must admit, I am very, very confused.

I once heard someone say that writing down everything and getting it out of your head onto paper means there's nothing in your brain, which allows you to use your brain for creativity, not remembering. Of course I still remember things, but I don't have to do so. My only problem with planning is when I plan ahead, I usually get seriously ill, which prevents following those plans. When I menu plan, the food in the frig ends up spoiling unless my daughter takes the food with her. I know we lived by my husband's calender for 32 years and it really worked. Somehow though, my plans fall apart; maybe because it's just me trying to move the mountain. Thank you for your videos and your advice.

I think I need the health log to track when I wake up in the middle of the night to empty and/or change my colostomy bag due to accidents. If I drink any fluids the bag fills up and MUST be emptied immediately no matter how tired I am. Currently I have a planner I created on my computer for myself based on others I've seen here on RUclips.

What planner/ journal is this?

Thank you for making me realize, it doesn't have to be that hard or complicated❤
