If you had ordered the non swearing version I would have assumed you’d been kidnapped & it was a coded message for help.

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@waggermama]

😂

[@BethsHappyPlace]

Right?!?

[@jodymarkgraf7625]

😅😅😅

[@jend8759]

And with that comment, I must subscribe. 😂

[@tvdavis]

Just ordered this, because it sounds like someone read my mind! I’m hyper-vigilant with writing things down, checklists, planning, notes…but then I can’t ever MAKE myself “do all the things”, because I don’t WANT to!

[@stamdl]

This is so me! I love lists, and while I do feel better mentally after I’ve sorted my stuff out on paper I stall out in the doing phase. I know my husband is stressed when he makes a list and then I’m in awe as he starts at the top and works right down the list. Magical.

[@MelissaThompson432]

Have you ever heard of PDA/demand avoidance? I discovered it last year and my life suddenly makes sense. I still struggle, but now I know why. I learned about it from Harry Thompson, but there are several channels that cover it. I can only do a thing if I can convince myself I don't care whether I do it or not.

[@NL-hu2ud]

Can I ask how you have found this nook? Useful for you?

[@juliedickson1721]

I do things like set a timer for 1 minute per room. I clean as fast as I can for a minute. Throw what doesn’t belong in that room in the hall. Spend one minute or so putting those things away. Move on to next room. Repeat. It can be amazingly effective. We often think things will take longer than they actually do, then we put things off.

[@eversolooney]

I was all "you dont need more planners", and yet, I think I may need this lol. I enjoyed the alterntive way to get stuff done. Thanks for checking it out.

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

technically it's not a planner so... 🤣

[@eversolooney]

@@CindyGuentertBaldo haha good point!

[@angiejones88]

Immediately smashed the like button and subscribed as soon as you said, "I really dislike Ted Cruz"! Oh, and I also find folding laundry very meditative. I'll be ordering this Anti-Planner and looking forward to your next video! ❤

[@PoissonDemiVide]

Same, girl! (the Ted Cruz thing, not the laundry thing. I hate folding laundry, but not nearly as much as Ted Cruz) ✌️

[@kimberlyh8201]

Would love a video of your thoughts after trying these things! Thanks for the review!

[@sierrakoester1424]

First of all, orange cats are the best!! Second, I would love to hear how these exercises work for you! There are some I'm interested in.

[@Rachaelshaw7]

I could see myself doing this instead of doing the actual thing. Then turn putting it away, feeling accomplished, and not doing the main task

[@wendybowman5871]

This is good info for anyone. It reminds me of some tips from a note taking class my Mom sent me to summer before junior high back in mid80s.

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

RJ took a note taking class too! (it was required in middle school for him)

[@daniellefeder5921]

I have this and love it! I'd also love to see you vlog doing some of the activities because I feel like it will help remind me to use it too lol. It lives next to my desk and I feel like I forget that it's there.

[@ash.pace24]

Sorry if I missed this, but do you have an affiliate link or something? i'm thinking of buying it and i'd love for you to get some kickbacks!

[@iamsarahlarsen]

This seems really helpful. I would love to see video of you trying any of the suggestions.

[@kittenandgoat]

I so need to be conned into being a morning person!

[@theviarflyer]

This is for sure going on my wish list!

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

good old oregon trail. i hope i don't die from dysentery haha

[@welcome2gems897]

Looks awesome what an not so awesome price as well yay great video Cindy xx

[@alicekimpel5469]

Isn’t this one where she hand drew all of it. It’s art plus planer. Even free small boxes you check? Thought this is what was said about it? Anyone know?

[@jessicahudson3085]

Thank you for this video! Immediately bought this 3 min and 30 seconds in lol 😂 feels like the universe is saying: time to get sh!t done Jess

[@1lawn68]

Oh I definitely need this, I'm such a procrastinator 😅😅😅

[@VeronicasShelf]

Okay, so I love the look of this "planner"! (autism and adhd here) If you haven't already listened to it I would highly recomend the podcast "Struggle Care" By K.C. Davies. A therapist who during the last few years found out that she has adhd and a lot of episodes on Self care for someone who doesn't like the popular idea of self care aka "have a bubble bath" and instead talks about how to care for yourself and more when you really struggle. I've loved it so far!

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

i have her book! haven't read it yet because I have a hugeTBR stack but i have heard great things!

[@tiffanybell-horwath934]

Definitely agree. Move it up your list - it's so helpful!

[@kimmuirhead6777]

interested in a vlog please :) sending you positive thoughts for the home dialysis xxx

[@PlannersByKat]

I would love to see a video with you going over how these things work for you. Thanks for sharing. This book is great because it’s not in a typical book. Genius. Need to buy.

[@123kirmizi]

After watching this I was so happy to order this, I order pdf file but it does not open and I have not receieved any email about my purchase. I tried to message but she disconnect the messages so it does not work. I think this is a scam. Ypu should not promote the scams. I am so angry

[@abbylynn8872]

😂😂😂😂😂 Tricking yourself into becoming a morning person. Tell that to my last director that wanted to fire me for not being a morning person being on a team of all morning people. Yet during crisis mgmt me the night owl up for a solid 48 hours working on a system outage with the vendors rotating in and out testing all the fixes. 😂😂😂😂 Its a myth to become a morning person. You can do but the first chance you get you are right back to being a night owl. 40 years later still a night owl.

[@LifeByLyric]

Someone went off on me when I said I hate the sound of "vegan leather" because we don't call tofu "vegan meat;" we call it what it is: tofu. Vegan leather has always sounded dumb to me because leather by definition means animal product. I'm pretty sure most of us don't see a notebook that says it's made of anything not leather and think "hmm, this isn't leather but I bet it's some other animal product." Smh.

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

i never thought about it that way!

[@RobinT346]

honestly I'm vegan and calling things "vegan leather" annoys me too. Pleather or faux-leather already existed. and let's be honest. It's plastic.

[@JaimeHeath]

I feel like I would continue to procrastinate because I wouldn’t be able to decide which method to use to get shit done. LOL gotta love analysis paralysis

[@angelasands1643]

maybe think of it like a bucket list so you will try each one :)

[@teresas.5848]

Definitely would like to see some vlogs using activities from the Anti-Planner, especially the morning person one.

[@ivoryhenson1285]

Same

[@emmafritz4657]

YES! I would absolutely watch a video or series of videos using these activities to motivate yourself!

[@DianeHall-y2y]

I've had the anti-planner for about 6 months. In typical ADHD fashion, I put it out of site and completely forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me I have such a fantastic tool at my fingertips, if I can remember to take it off the shelf.

[@seohiroth7]

A tip I use to remind myself is put it somewhere in the way of something else you do all the time or put it somewhere out of place so you see it more often, like for me I put some things on the floor in front of my door. Me personally, I don't like things just being on my floor, so I remember it because it's out of place.

[@missfl0werstar]

My husband hates spending money but when I told him about this he immediately said I should get one. The hope on his face that I'd finally actually might get things done was priceless! 😊

[@DoubleMcZombie]

I'm here for the Shaggy Orange Goblin cameos

[@sherylw4599]

Emperor S.O.G. ?

[@stamdl]

Wow, this is right up my ADHD alley. I recognized a few of the exercises and methods but I’m always looking for help with my executive function (lack there of). I’m going to purchase one and would love to see videos on anything related to this. Even before my ADHD was diagnosed 6 years ago the only helpful organization/time management books in my embarrassingly large collection were ADHD focused. Silly me was still dumbfounded when a new therapist I was seeing for depression and anxiety zeroed in on underlying inattentive ADHD after a month of sessions. I had only associated hyperactivity with ADHD before this. Game changer!

[@Rivercat0338]

Love the concept. I would very much like to see you try some of these. I've become such a wizard of procrastination that I could see myself doing a bunch of the activities instead of actually doing the thing 😁

[@kimberlyprue2654]

THANK YOU! The term "vegan leather" irks me so! It's pleather.

[@briannab5296]

Both words irk me .. they are just fancy words for PLASTIC. 😂

[@elizabethwickes8672]

I've had this for a year and loved it! It helped me realize that a lot of mess/clutter in one of my rooms was bad because I.... never had a garbage can in one of the most commonly used rooms. Sometimes I felt like choosing the mood was too hard, so I just started randomly opening up the book and kept reopening it to random pages until the activity seemed accessible to my brain and helpful. I was planning on making a new notebook where I try going through all these exercises and maybe make my own versions. Having a list, maybe on the inside, of strategies that help you can be good. This did also suggest the Magnet mac app for window management and that was totally worth it. I want to try and adapt some of these with my kiddo to help him better understand what I mean when I ask him to do certain chores. (anxiety kiddos, am I right?) I also used to race myself to cleaning my apartment, like when I got an unexpected hour at home sans kid and sans spouse, and see how much I can multitask. Start the washer, dishwasher, roomba in the bedroom, vac other rooms, pickup, etc....

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

I once got a tip from a youtube video to put a garbage can in the closet so you can empty your bags and pockets... GAME CHANGER

[@monicac2466]

@@CindyGuentertBaldo omg doing this. Currently in the middle of a closet overhaul!

[@sherylw4599]

So many fantastic tips in this book! Thank you for giving it such a strong “signal boost” - I first learned of the phrase Signal Boost for recommending things you love via Geek and Sundry tv show 2016. I LOVE that phrase… so I guess I’m giving it a Signal Boost. WHOA.

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

thanks for the signal boost about signal boosting! haha

[@barbarawest1205]

Yes, I would love to see more about how you use this workbook and how it's working for you! I'm ging to keep this video pinned at the top of my ADHD playlist so I can watch it more slowly on repeat.

[@LeoGirl80]

I also prefer the term pleather! The rebrand of it is so silly and unserious to me lol. And I definitely remember Stussy as a teen in the 1990s. Lol

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

i was explaning to jess about how you needed to sprinkle gold bond powder into your pleater pants before you shrugged them on haha

[@LeoGirl80]

@@CindyGuentertBaldo Man what a time to be alive lol

I am solid Gen X and we drew the Super S on our three-ring binders and Trapper Keepers and had the fortune tellers in the 70s-80s! So interesting! What is Stussy?

[@maerwynnh]

Also, we just had leather pants, and pleather was for furniture.

[@werelemur1138]

Yes I want to see the morning routine. "Vegan leather" is such a greenwash-y term. It's fucking plastic.

[@DanaSilvia]

My boyfriend just asked what I wanted for my birthday...I now have my answer! I love this so much!

[@k-lingon-berry]

"Vegan leather" is the most greenwashed BS, they keep marketing it as "the more ethical choice" when it's just...plastic. Like sure, avoid animal products if you want, but he trend of vegan products suddenly making using plastics cool again annoys me sm. As for the actual review, I'd love a follow-up video if you end up using things from the book. It'd be very interesting to get "lived experience" with it from someone with chronic illness, plus you always keep things very down-to-earth and realistic with long-term reviews.

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

that's the plan - I think I might try the morning person page next week

[@k-lingon-berry]

Oh, I'm looking forward to that a lot as a night-owl extraordinaire! Thanks for the reply. @@CindyGuentertBaldo

I need another book/planner/stationery-whatever like I need another hole in my head. Yet I just digitally ran and placed an order half way through this video. So many of the strategies in this book will be helpful for me. I can't wait to get it.

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

i knew a lot of them but there was so much there I hadn't considered!

[@stri23]

Would love to see you vlog this process.

[@craftingrubydreams]

I've had this planner since Dani first released it, but never thought of adding tabs to thing things I want to do. I definitely need to go through and do that.

[@j.m.6454]

Same! I just went through and tabbed mine! 😊

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

the key is to not over tab it and totally forget why you put the tabs in. not that I've done this before 🫣

[@craftingrubydreams]

@@CindyGuentertBaldo 🤣🤣🤣

[@marvinjennifercross249]

How to make a reusable diy reusable sheet. Take a laminator sheet and run it through empty. Cut to fit the size of your notebook. I use a paper clip to hold it over my papers and use a wet erase marker to write in it. It wipes off with damp paper towel or wet wipe but doesn’t wipe off by just touching it so you can close the book. Hope this helps someone

[@winterberry3412]

You can also use transparent sticky notes/post-its

[@nikkinach818]

I'm seriously considering downloading the digital version to implement into my planner!

[@Y3w3lz]

That's a good idea... Specially since I'm trying to not bring in more things to the house for the next few months.

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

that's a great idea! i already don't plan to actually write on any of the pages so a digital version would be so great!

[@monicac2466]

I’m considering this too, so I can print off extra sheets for some of them.

[@LauraHelbling]

Thanks for this -- it reminded me that because I have the physical planner (which I've been afraid to write in, haha) I got the PDF for free I believe, so I'm digging it up in my files now!

[@reneeg9507]

Would love some videos on you working through some of the exercises!

This sounds like it was made for me and my wife. We need this. I'd love to see a vlog of how you use it, if you end up doing so. Gonna get the swearing-in version, because that's our sense of humor, too. Thank you for sharing about the anti-planner!

Ok love but how do i avoid spending an hour picking out the activity i want to use to get me to complete the tasks? 😂😂😂

[@n0ibn]

I might grab the digital version. The executive dysfunction with my ADHD is terrible.

[@charitylady7389]

[@CindyGuentertBaldo]

same! i may give that one a try next week!

Thanks for the video... I am dealing with anxiety and depression and seeing this video was a great kick to buy this book. I am struggling with productivity in my life lately and this hits so many issues I am facing. I can also see myself using it with my students.

[@asmith6006]

I went to order it from Canada and the shipping is 60% of the price. I really want to, but I just can't right now. I was hoping maybe I could find it in an actual bookstore. If it's undated maybe I can do it later in the year

[@monicac2466]

I coincidentally bought this yesterday! I’m so excited for it 😍

[@monicac2466]

Also I prefer pleather too 😂

[@monicac2466]

Lack of accountability called me out so hard too 😅

[@KatiesCraftStudio]

I bought this in the fall and loved paging through it. I've already incorporated task BINGO into my life and really find that helpful. I haven't used the book much yet, but I store it close to the couch (which is where I tend to do my best procrastinating) and I expect it will help me a lot as my seasonal depression really kicks in this winter.

[@tvdavis]

I also prefer the term “Pleather”.

I got my Anti-Planner when Dani did her kickstarter - in true ADHD style, though, I haven't actually used it since it arrived! Your video was a good prompt to get it off my bookshelf and start putting it into use :-)

Yes, in answer to your question, it is super awesome. Thanks for the review. I really love this concept. I don’t know anything about the creator, but just based off your review they must be in the mental health field. Kudos to them for developing and sharing. I am here for it. ❤

[@happytrails.]

I'm not sure if I'm getting old, but the font looks kinda small? Need MOAR font and Higher Contrast! Only read ebooks now and every time I pick up a planner or book it seems like they're too low contrast and tiny font. Ugh. Might have to get a large tablet to read pdfs now....

[@seohiroth7]

I use a task manager on my phone for stuff like this and it works for most tasks but some tasks I have had on there for months because there is no actual deadline. I suffer from a lot of these things that are in the book. I am debating on just ordering it right now.

[@MsLrm123]

Progress videos would be great! Really enjoyed the descriptive walkthrough! Thank you!

Thanks for walking us through it! I know most of those aren't helpful for my Executive Dysfunction so I won't waste my money.

[@tvdavis]

@17:07 HELL YES! This, all day, every day! The expectations are completely unrealistic, and trying to explain that just falls on deaf ears. So I end up overwhelmed and frustrated. I cannot wait until my copy of this arrives. Was just walking the dog while listening to Cindy flip through this, nodding my head and getting so excited to use these tips!

Whoa, love this book! Instantly purchased but residing in Canada the exchange from US to CDNI won't allow me to eat for a couple of weeks...meh, it's worth it!

Interesting concept. I liked a bunch of the ideas and disliked a couple. Not a fan of the punishment one, I beat myself up enough thank you. But I would totally watch your experience with ones you want to try. I would give it a try, there are more ideas I like than not. The swearing in it holds more weight for me than it probably deserves 😂 This was fun to go through with you, a nice change from the regular planners. Have a great weekend

[@charlieblackrose]

Pleather is PU or PVC specifically, whereas vegan leather is a broader category that includes a range of leather substitutes, including apple leather and mushroom leather for example :) so vegan leather includes many options that are more sustainable than both pleather and leather. (And many people living a vegan lifestyle probs wouldn't assume that something that is pleather is automatically vegan unless specified too so it's nice to have it written out when it is, makes it easier.)
