Love the idea of brain dumping and sorting into those lists. Sometimes you need to get it on a sheet of paper and really think about what tasks are actually worth doing and prioritizing the rest. Often times my mind is cluttered with all these things that need to be done but sometimes things aren’t worth the time or other times they might even resolve themselves.

[@PersonalizeMyPlanner]

I definitely can relate to that feeling-especially if I get really sick or some life event happens that causes me to be out of my routines. Brain dumps and categorizing those tasks can be super helpful to get back on track!

[@MariMerriMarimar]

@@PersonalizeMyPlanner yes I agree. Things like that can throw us off a lot so it’s good to see everything written to categorize everything and get back on track.

So good!!! Looking forward to next week...

[@PersonalizeMyPlanner]

Yay! Thank you!

How do I bookmark this video to refer back to it when I'm making my braindump list later on this week? (I don't want to write out my braindump yet)

[@PersonalizeMyPlanner]

If you are using a computer you can click on the "..." button beneath the bottom right corner of the video, then select >Save from the drop down menu. Then you can save the video to your watch later list (or another playlist that you've created).

I don’t understand the purpose of the Not To Do list. There are millions of things I’m never going to do, like become a pole dancer, so how is this list helpful?

[@Wonderwoman79G]

Pole dancing isn't on my to do list either- lol.

[@PersonalizeMyPlanner]

Sorry, I didn't explain it well and should have included an example. Example Brain Dump of What Someone May Think Needs to Be Done/Would Like to Do: Finish quarterly report for work Schedule dentist appointment Plan daughter's birthday party Clean out garage Call mom RSVP to baby shower Read book for book club Organize closet Write thank-you cards for holiday gifts Learn to play guitar Buy groceries Oil change Sign up for cooking class Braindump Sorted Into Lists: List #1: Important but non-time-sensitive projects (Work on this list if you finish list #2) Organize closet Clean out garage List #2: Deadline associated/time-sensitive tasks to be completed today (Broken down into next action steps and automatically added from the brain dump list to Today in your planner) Plan out what days to work on quarterly report for work Buy groceries Text Jayden to RSVP yes for baby shower Finish writing thank-you cards for holiday gifts Bring thank-you cards to the post office Call dentist to schedule dentist appointment Call mom Plan out which day to take car to get an oil change Plan out what days to plan daughter's birthday party Plan out what days to read book for book club List #3: Not-to-do list (reminder of consciously decided non-priorities/tasks that should not end up back on the to do list) Learn to play guitar Sign up for cooking class It's not necessarily about making a list of everything you won't do, rather pre-determining and setting boundaries on those tasks that will sometimes creep onto our brain dump and/or to do lists that maybe we have an interest in but we realistically don't have time for. In this example, maybe the person is interested in playing the guitar, but realistically they simply don't have the time for learning to play the guitar because it is more of a priority to spend their hobby time on reading the book for their book club. Hopefully that makes more sense, but please let me know if you have any questions. :)

@PersonalizeMyPlanner Thank you for the comprehensive list.I'm glad you have a good sense of humour.😊

[@PersonalizeMyPlanner]

@@Wonderwoman79G 😆You're welcome. 😉

@@PersonalizeMyPlanner Thank you so much for taking your time to fully explain the concept. That makes complete sense to not devote time to activities I just cannot achieve in this season of life.
