AMEI .... TOP ...

Is there a particular reason you decided to write in English instead of Portuguese? Or it just felt right?

Your videos always stand out, keep up the amazing work.

Your content is becoming very repetitive and all about apps rather than actual strategies.

Paper was really good for me in writing to-do lists and journaling about my life.

why is there so much stack footage in this video? I feel like this wasn't the case last year. Makes it hard to watch honestly. I love your analysis and tips though

Great video. I feel similar...

as a Dutch writer, this is giving me so much hope. I needed that, thank you for posting this and sharing this hard process with us

Random question Mariana, but have you ever tried Dungeons and Dragons? I think you would like it😊

wat is goals ?

I implemented a strict budgeting strategy to track expenses and set clear limits, while also focusing on a smart investment approach. In just six months, my investments grew by over $80,000, boosting my savings and financial confidence. This combined strategy has set me on track to achieve my long-term financial goals.

I love this but its so hard when people suffer from chronic illnesses. I struggle every day to keep up with any habits because simply my body says 'non'. I keep my bullet journal updated but live with guilt that my simple habits of even getting up to walk even 1,000 steps...... Someone needs to write a self help and productivity book for people who have illnesses, there are so many of us and everyone is depressed because they can't get themselves over the hump, especially people with ME CFS, MCAS, Ehlers-Danlos syndromes etc... people want to live and make improvements, it's so hard :(

But why?

This app looks interesting. I started using Astirna New Tab recently, and it's nice to have everything in one place without clutter.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I recently discovered Astirna New Tab, and the way it customizes my new tab page has helped me stay focused on my tasks.

I appreciate your insights on productivity tools. I just added Astirna New Tab to my browser, and it seems promising for keeping my tasks organized.

Interesting alternatives! I’ve tried a couple, but I think I’ll give the ones you mentioned a shot. By the way, I’ve been using Astirna New Tab for managing my tasks and it’s pretty neat.

Really informative! I’ve been looking for a way to organize my time better. I recently added the Astirna New Tab extension, and it helps me keep everything in check during my day.

Hello, so-uh, I'm not really the type of person to comment on videos but I really want to appreciate this. Goal setting is something that I struggle with and is something that I have rooted myself into not doing (mainly out of spite) starting from a very young age. Your video however, gave me a completely new perspective on it and has convinced me as to why I should at least give it a shot and actually work on it rather than getting discouraged by not only the opinions of others but also my own doubts. Perhaps it was the way you explained it. Calm but not slow, persuasive and not forceful or one that's all upbeat and all happy that just-quite frankly, gets frustrating because (although yes, it can be helpful) it can grate on your nerves when you've heard it over and over and over again like its so utterly easy to be happy while you're still at the first few steps and trying to find the right pace. Your approach in goal setting is calm and yet firm that really is a breath of fresh air from all other content that I have encountered so far. So thank you and please keep up the good work! ☺

Phased deadlines (announce to others) Breaking down tasks into smaller tasks Tracking system to visualize all of the deadlines in one place and track progress Smaller tasks - a long list of incomplete tasks - mental stress So record regulars and allocate nicely everything as per your daily checklist Divide into smaller tasks and combine phase deadlines Schedule reminders accordingly days in advance Scheduling tasks when u re at ur best (Peak efficiency) Energy high then deep works like drafting, planning or problem solving Energy dips - answering emails Match colours Create a buffer For block of time to act as safety nets Do sprints with small accountability rewards and short breaks like walk, fav book, coffee break

calendar system .

I really appreciate your channel Mariana. Feliz ano novo :)

Hai maria❤

I've started querying my own book and this is helpful. Hearing your journey and get to know some of the processed used and also hearing about the agent who reach out to you again after the rejection. This is helpful and brings me a bit of hope in my own journey. :) PS. My first language is not English either, so I can relate.

Currently in first trimester and can relate to everything

Appreciate the step-by-step walkthrough, very clear.

Congrats on your pregnancy and thank you for making this video. I am currently 6 months along, and in addition, I've had pregnancy rhinitis, which is basically like having a terrible cold throughout your entire pregnancy. I haven't slept for more than 2 hours at a time for the past 5 months. I was always like you-- productive, making lists, and scheduling my day down to the minute. Now I barely have the energy to get dressed and it's killing me. I'm lucky enough to be a stay at home mom, I can't imagine having a job and dealing with this fatigue and sinus issues on top of everything else. It'ss nice to now that I'm not alone.

producive tips .

I can’t find the templates you mentioned in the video

Can you slow down?? It is damn impossible to follow what you explain!

great editing,and video

The content is nice but you go TOO fast when showing. It ‘s very difficult to follow!

I was very confused about science i am in the city school PARCO chapter you solved my problem thanks 👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you, survived my collage years with the videos now I’m finishing my masters 🤍

Okay, but my problem with calendar blocking is that I don't know whether I fall in hyper-focus mode. Because if I do, I'll spend the whole day doing that one task and if I don't, forcing myself to do the task the entire time I planned for it would be unbearable. On top of that, I also get distraught if my plans or schedule mess up...

IT was really helpful. If you enunciate a bit, I would more easily be able to understand faster like the words 'countdown mode'. Thanks!

Notes: 1. 80% of results come from 20% of efforts. Prioritize high-impact tasks over low-priority ones 2. Use calendar blocking to focus on high-impact tasks first, making them non-negotiable in your schedule. 3. Schedule focused “deep work” blocks of time to tackle important tasks without distractions. 4. Complete tasks that take less than 2 minutes immediately to prevent them from piling up. 5. Group similar tasks together (e.g., answering emails, meal prepping) to minimize mental switching and improve efficiency. 6. Start your day with a calming routine (e.g., coffee, reading, or stretching) to boost productivity and reduce stress. Thanks for your sharing!

Try to use the Motion calendar. It's expensive, but you have a personal assistant with it.

tick tick hacked please

I didn't know you could export to Kindle! I need to see if I can find out how to do that.

Thank you, there are useful hints. However, it seems to me that what you are telling is partly different from what you are showing on the screen at the same time.

We need more videos like this about writing .

Can you please describe more about the plot of your manuscript, that you were mentioning here?^^ 18:40 you were saying this fantasy book is not about productivity. I think it doesn’t matter. Because productivity should affect all parts of one’s life, so in the end the way one produces things, no matter if those things are fantasy books or non fiction books or newspaper articles about transition to non fossile energy etc.

write study notes .

Can you unhide some of your older content, I cant find some of the older videos thats been there since i first found you, particularly the note taking one and i believe you had a handwriting video as well.

I haven't written any larger works yet and I'm wondering how to structure the materials, so this was a very interesting opening to the creation of the work.

This was helpful. Thank u for sharing.

Whoever did the art direction of this video is super talented

Great tips! I'm definitely going to try the "pessimist" approach to time-blocking meetings and tasks-it sounds like a practical way to stay ahead of potential challenges. Breaking down long meetings into shorter ones is also excellent advice. I agree that scheduling meetings during lower-energy moments could be beneficial, but unfortunately, my personal and team routines at work might make that difficult to implement. The quick daily review is truly a game changer-thank you for emphasizing its importance! I've never used Akiflow, though it does seem like a fantastic tool. However, for me, it’s not very budget-friendly. Instead, I use Amplenote, which has been AMAZING. It offers everything I need-and more-for managing tasks, notes, and calendars while time-blocking all my meetings and responsibilities. Since I started using it, I’ve felt it’s more than sufficient for staying organized. Plus, its very generous free plan makes it well worth a try!

Wonderful video Mariana. Your way of explanation is very good. I have been using AmpleNote for this very reason and it serves all my purposes. Your video just reinforced my reasoning. Thank you.
