Great Video. Oh my Goodness the little boy at the end was a little Darling !!!!!!!!!

[@glendalsamuel]

Keep at it, my dear. I enjoyed your first video on the system and applied it. It helped much during a period of studies for me. Love this video as well. Your efforts are not in vain. Keep on keeping on! God bless you.

[@timeandtideplans]

Thank you so much for the encouragement!! ❤️

[@danidelyon7093]

This all makes sense to me! Thank you for posting this video. Lots of good ideas. I love organizing my life with 3x5 index cards. In fact, I’m obsessed! 😊

[@timeandtideplans]

I’m so glad others find the system just as helpful as I do!!! Thank you so much for the comment.

[@LilCraftyNook]

Yay! Someone else who read S.H.E.!! Loved ❤❤❤their books. I wonder if Pam is still with us. I know Peggy passed away quite a while back.😢 I make greeting cards so have plenty of cardstock. I think I would ruin paper too quickly.

I love your videos. I’ve been using She system for years!!! I have six kids. This system is a game changer! I love your take on things ❤. Love from Maine

[@timeandtideplans]

Hello from Washington! Yay!! That's so awesome. Thank you for the nice comment ☺

[@janeukraine]

very interesting! I read a little bit of the S.H.E. book because I learned of it from the Fly Lady, but I didn't conceptualize that it would be as useful as you've demonstrated. I'm so glad you made this movie!

[@timeandtideplans]

It's my pleasure! Thank you so much for sharing how you came about the method.

[@yvonnewsd]

You have been so helpful and a joy to listen to. Thank you for taking the time to post these wonderful videos. You have NO idea how much I appreciate you. ❤

[@Janice54]

I downloaded these and love them...because I'm going to start on January 1 / 24 - I decided to use the year space for my mood...I might rethink it, but I like the idea...

[@Jane_Snow_]

Thanks for sharing your ideas. The storage cards are genius! ❤

[@timeandtideplans]

Thank you for the kind feedback, I am so glad it was helpful!!

[@sandylawrence3704]

I’m excited to start this! How do you plan your homeschooling? I feel like you would have a good system for that😊

[@timeandtideplans]

Yay! This was the first year we aren't homeschooling since my son was in first grade! When I homeschooled I planned out units that followed the suggested topics for the grade level and would use Trello and/or my planner to compile the plans and resources. It was way too much. I wish I would have moved everything over to index cards much earlier - that would have helped on days they were sick, etc. and we didn't get to the plan. I would have shuffled the cards around and been good to go.

[@sandylawrence3704]

@@timeandtideplans thanks! I am new to the cards (I bought the get started set yesterday) but I’m wondering how it would look to put things into cards. Would you have a card per child per subject?

[@AzureCarter-h6z]

Where did you get your mesh pouch and what size is it?

[@timeandtideplans]

I use a black mesh case that wasn't intended for index cards, but it works! Its this one amzn.to/3uLWoED - I use the others to store my pencils, highlighters, and coloring supplies. I use either the A5 or A6 pouch.

[@thebudgetbee9694]

Do you have a video talking about your favorite self help books?

[@timeandtideplans]

I don't - however, the books that inspire my actions still to this day, that I have cards for are from The Artist’s Way, Sink Reflections, The Miracle Morning, Zero Waste Home, and obviously Sidetracked Home Executives. A couple others that have shaped me are The War of Art, Master Key System, and the Bible. Do you have any favorites?

Thank you so so much! Now off to check your shop ❤

[@nancys.100]

Luv that boox!

[@301jules]

Can you make 4x6 size cards?

[@timeandtideplans]

Happily! I’ve had someone else request a larger size as well. I will work on that over the next couple of weeks and let you know when they are ready. Thanks for asking!

[@dgraham4966]

I'm curious what % of most peoples day is recurring tasks for cleaning and maintenance vs. project progress and one off tasks and activities.

[@timeandtideplans]

That's a fascinating question!

[@writenov8n]

Do you really need a card to remind you to make your bed? Not executive material.

[@timeandtideplans]

🤣 such a good point. Many of the cards are used more so as motivation. Moving a card for something that is little to no effort you have already done gets the snowball rolling for the day.

Hope you can get yourself some self esteem so you don’t have to look for fast fading ego hits to inflate yourself

[@vanlifebayou]

I am an adult with ADD so yep, I do need that card b/c it not only makes me focus on that task, but I am rewarded by moving it to the next day. This is a blessing. I am going to add my Faith & Bible study section!!! I created them but not printed yet. You are awesome!!!
