Thank you so much for the message - this made my day!! Yay for more videos!!

Do you have plans to post more videos? I miss watching your videos and seeing the PNW.

No worries - Happy to help! First, in your card deck you have cards and dividers. The cards contain the actions you would like to take. Some actions are reoccurring where others are more "project" based. For example, cleaning your floors is probably something you'll do once a week to maintain a clean home. Following up on your insurance call you had last week with your broker next Friday is a "project" card where you may add notes and phone numbers needed - once the project is completed, it's recycled. The dividers help you know when to do the cards, or the action. You have a divider for each date and month of the year. You might have other miscellaneous dividers as well for storing blank cards, or keeping recipes, etc. The dividers are organized so that you have whatever month you are currently on showing up first, for example - July is on top. Then, you have August behind it, September, and so on through the end of 2024. The January divider behind December stands for January of 2025, as does each month we've already gone through in 2024 - February-June. The date dividers function in the same way with the date you are currently on on top, through the end of the month -- in our case, July. The dates we've already gone through 1-24 are placed in front of August. That's the initial setup. I'll share the card shuffling function in a comment following this (first I need to pick up a kid :)).

@@timeandtideplans already so helpful! thank you. I think I'm getting stuck on the "days" to assign cards too as well when they are weekly or monthly. Thank you!!!

Once you have your foundation set up with your dividers, then start by writing all actions you take on a routine basis down on the cards. Note how frequently you take the action - daily, every other day, weekly, etc. Once you have a good start on writing down actions, decide what days of the week you will tackle different actions. For example- Wednesdays I take on administrative work like phone calls, bill paying, etc. if you do these actions weekly, you’ll place those cards on top of the upcoming Wednesday divider, which in our case is the 31 divider. When the 31 divider comes around you’ll take care of all of those cards and shuffle them to the next Wednesday divider, which would be the 7 divider. I use a month card with a calendar on it as reference that I shuffle each day - lets me know that next Wednesday is the 31st when I need to move those weekly cards over, or assign monthly action cards to days at the start of the month. For daily cards you simply shuffle the cards in front of the next day’s divider - from the 25 to in front of 26. For seasonal, annual or monthly tasks you would place the card in front of the month divider until you get to that month. The. Assign each card to a date divider where you will most likely get to it. For example, filing taxes might be something you do on an annual basis. Placing it in front of the February divider might make sense for you. Then as January is finishing up, you assign all monthly/seasonal/etc actions in front of the February date divider that makes most sense. So, for me that would be a Wednesday date divider in February.

That’s so awesome!! There is something so comforting about that show ❤️ thank you so much for the message - I’m so glad you love your deck!!!

Thank you so much for the feedback - I really love making live videos!!

Love Sarah Cannon!!! I’ve heard her talk about it but haven’t checked it out yet - thank you!!

Happily! Thank you for the suggestion. In the meantime, an exercise that has helped me is to track my time. Laura Vanderkam's book, 168 Hours talks about this concept and how to do it for improving your scheduling. With that being said, I still struggle with being realistic about how long things take me (or when it comes to things I do want to do and am putting them off - how little time they actually take). Have your read The 12 Week Year - I know, another book 🤣A tactic you could use from the book is to time block your day. Incorporating a "buffer hour" - an hour of time to take care of what you didn't get done or a designated time in your day where you'll focus on whatever the day brings up you hadn't planned for. I have a video where I time blocked here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYOkeqWGi5iInKc

🙌 just your regular printer paper on everything, but the dividers. They do get wrinkly if I put them in my pocket or my purse for reference. Sometimes they get coffee or food stains if I have them sitting on the counter, but I can just print out a new one if it gets too bad.
