so what are those special pegs called or whats the item # to look on ikea?

Pronounce words correctly. Thanks

What did you say? Can you pls say it again, that also a native English speaker can understand, what you were saying?!?!?!

thank you for this. I used to use FP in the mid to late 90's. But then I forgot about it. Listening to you, I was surprised how much I had been subconsciously recreating in every planner I have purchase sense. I recently uncovered my old FP stuff and had just decided to use it as a home management binder. Interesting to see how much of this system still works for me....oh the money and time I could have saved from running down the planner community rabbit hole. 🤦🏿‍♀

These videos are EXTREMELY HELPFUL Thank you!

OMG you just blew my mind with your comment being like "it's flexible you could bind it from the top". I am left handed and could not figure out a better solution with my discs and I am going to try this! It would also give me more room and easier to print for my Animal Crossing journal!

Audio is not good at all. Echoes. Sounds like you in a tunnel

Hi. Thank you for sharing all of these tools. Question on your Amazon Affiliate link, should it take me to my home page to shop as normal or take me to your recommended page so I shop your recommendations? Thanks!

We used to have FRANKLIN PLANNERS in the Army when I was a young officer in the 1980s. You ordered them from the Supply Room and they worked great. They were simple and effective. Then Steven Covey came along with his "7 Principles" BS and the CULT known as Franklin-Covey was born. The method is great for bored older ladies who own many cats . . . bored young ladies who spend their time "journaling" about whatever nonsense happened to them that day . . . and effete, highly neurotic people who love pastels. FOR THE REST OF US . . . it's much too broad, too foo-foo, too me-me-me and overly complicated. BTW . . . the hardy Franklin Planner is gone and the Franklin-Covey Planner/System was ubiquitous in the Army at around ten times the cost when I retired. Overall improvement? None. We used to throw out BOXES of unused planners every year. What a scam. Not a single successful leader that I know used it. (I certainly didn't.) So what works? 3x5 cards. If you can't contain your "goal setting" and "time management" in a simple stack of 3x5 cards that you can carry in a pocket . . . you're grossly over-thinking it and you're wasting time. Your 3x5 cards are backed up by a simple calendar so you don't forget birthdays and important meetings. You maintain files for the paperwork that accompanies most projects in our "digital information age" and you toss out the files as soon as the project is complete. Finally, you should maintain a simple diary of daily events so you know who's been naughty and nice and who to send Christmas cards to that year. K.I.S.S.

I really enjoy your video. Thank you for sharing it. For me, it was the push that I needed to make a decision in favor of Ikea. So, thanks again!

Please pronounce Covey correctly. It’s not a long O. Think Dove-y but with a C

Thanks for watching! I am (and was as soon as I heard the recording) aware of the audio issues. In this case, the Audio Rec Level on my Sony camera wasn't set to an ideal level for my Rode mic. And, yeah, I was lazy and didn't record a sample, take the card out, and check it in computer before starting the real recording that day. I guess I could have done it all over again once I heard it, but I didn't know at the time this video would do so well! I have plenty of videos with like 40 views, so perhaps my decision is understandable there. Also, as one might guess by the fact that I just put in this furniture, the room was still somewhat empty but I don't think that made much difference. Even now, I record in a medium sized home office, with decent equipment, a mic boomed in as close as possible out of frame (or even in frame), have added carpet, curtains, and some sound panels, and throw bedding on the other side of the room when I record, too. I've exchanged audio samples with Ali Abdaal's lead editor and equipment expert (who advised me on most my equipment). And my audio is still not great! Though better than this Ikea video, which again I had a setting set wrong. So. If anyone has advice beyond these things, please, I'm all ears! But if you're just saying "your audio is bad"... I know dude, I know.

Really great tips and tricks that are very helpful in making these difficult and time consuming decisions. Unfortunately I did miss some things that were said. In part it was the echo- but for me it was more speech which at times was fast with a fading volume. i.e ~minute 8.50. Replayed several times and could not be understood. I am mentioning this, not to criticize, but so you are aware and can be improve because your video and information is very good. Also it would be helpful to see more demonstration of the thing which you are describing. Thank you for this and I look forward to other videos.

Thank you, great info.

Shame she recorded in a room with echo. Most off putting 😮

I'm considering ordering and customizing one of these and you give here very good tips that I didn't even think about when using the planner. Don't worry about the audio, it could be better but I'm not even native and I can understand you perfectly.

Loved this video. Covey is actually pronounced Cuvey. He is an Utah native and that is how we pronounce his name.

Thank you so much!

Buy an external microphone and place it close to your mouth when recording videos. Pity, the audio spoils the good information.

The audio is not great, kind of an echo, annoying.

I love your characterization of the FC system as “mature.” That is the perfect description, as it’s so time-tested. Also, there are spiral bound and now even traveler’s notebook binding options on the Franklin Planner website - not just ringbound.

Great video! I’m considering getting back into the FC method. I used it in the late 80s/early 90s when I discovered it through one of their time management books called First Things First. btw, Covey is pronounced KUH-vee. 😉

The Franklin Covey 'system' isn't really a system but a bastardized combination of the FranklinQuest system (stolen from Charles Hobbs' 'Time Power') with its daily A-B-C prioritization and the Covey '7 Habits' weekly planning system from when the two companies merged (word is that Covey's business didn't run too great). They shoehorned some elements of Covey's system into the Franklin Planner (that is itself a copy of the Day-Planner), making up for a really weird combination.

Thanks for this! It’s nice to hear

Really enjoyed this video. I subscribed and look forward to watching others. Thanks.

So what I don’t get is how tasks that must be done (housework, meal planning, lesson planning, etc) are related to my values?? I mean, values or not, some things have to get done to stay afloat or to not lose one’s job,mor to not end up as a train wreck, right?

That’s so cute

Oh the sound what a shame

❤

Covey is pronounced KUH-vey. 🙂 There’s also another step before identifying values and goals - developing your life mission statement. The values and goals flow from that. Franklin has a mission statement builder on their websites and in their Starter Kit inserts, and in their books.

I found the Eisenhower matrix in college and it was a game changer because I thought everything was important

Re. SMART goals: the R stands for Relevant, not Realistic. I’m not quite sure how “Realistic” crept in; it is a synonym for Achievable, so would be redundant.

It looks like you filled the holes in? Any tips !? Please :)

The content of this is good, but I wish I could hear you better.

Your home looks so clean and organised already, before the spring clean... :-)

Thanks for the inspiration ❤

Great video thank you!

I am also really happy with the Arc Puncher. Very sturdy, and it seems to fit with many other disc binding accessories.

The toys that Need repair - exactly!!😂

Wow. Me again. I can‘t believe you donˋt have more subscribers yet. You won‘t believe how many times I typed in „GTD for moms“ into search machines over the last couple of years.

Wow. This is a whole lot of excellent tips. I wish I had had these 10 years ago, when I restarted working as a teacher (Lots of work hours from home!). I need rewatch this video and take notes.

Excellent summary. Thank you.

ChatGPT is almost never at capacity

Yeah tried that… still no shits given 😅

For the going to bed early part: chronotype plays a big role if people want to/can get up early in the morning. Also, where people are in a timezone, the practicality is affected. 6am in Switzerland is much easier than here in Belgium, closer to the other edge of the European timezone. Simply, the whole daily sun cycle is shifted 1-1.5h later during the day. What do you think about these? And great video with good tips, nice b-rolls and text, I liked it! 🙂 For chapter links, add 0:00, so it shows up as chapters in the video, too.

Fun and good advice!

Hi! Thank you for this video; so many on PAX but not as many on BESTA. We really can't hear on the video nor get it on CC exactly what shelf clip we need to bring that shelf forward, flush over the drawer. (I think it will look cleaner that way and keep dust at bay). Do you have a part number? Or name of part? TIA for your help. Great vid!
