How To Create Routines In Your Planner

[@packnetadaija]

One thing that I adopted from another KZbinr was to come up with a high, mid, and low energy morning routine. Basically come up with different routines depending on your energy level for the morning, sometimes I have a good amount of energy and will do a high energy morning routine sometimes I don't feel well and will do a low, but either way, you have some type of routine

[@historyturtle20]

Oh wow that's really smart, thank you for sharing. I never thought about creating multiple routines based on my energy levels.

[@mschrisfrank2420]

My morning routine: Yoga With Adriene video, meditation, coffee, morning pages, get dressed, brush teeth, and go to work. Evening routine: stretches, Calm magnesium supplement, read, meditation, lights out.

[@beew584]

I love yoga with Adriene, just started. And found this channel yesterday lol. Loving the organization tips too!

[@michellearakawa1282]

You just gave me an epiphany. I have morning and evening routines that i have recently figured out--and it has made life easier, believe me. What I was stuck on was putting my day job (I teach English at my own little school in Japan) and my art business I want to create into my life. Health, home--pretty much set. Now I get it--I need to figure out routines for those two areas of my life, as well as my money routine. I keep trying to cram stuff in randomly and it never works out completely. I can't wait for future videos. This series is super helpful. Thank you!

[@LifeWithJessieLee333]

This was refreshing, I’m a physical planner person. I’m becoming confident in transitioning to a Digital One

[@TheReducedsodium]

I love this. It also feels like a really friendly strategy for dealing with mental illness as well.

[@bottlesofchris]

I am not much of a routine person, I generally do what needs to be done... within my nature lol. For 2021 I am hoping to get into a cleaning routine. I hate cleaning and everytime I put it on my to do list, I procrastinate which leads to a bigger more daunting mess to clean. I simply want to break it up into smaller daily tasks so that I dont spend entire weekends cleaning. I've never planned a routine before so I am interested to see how I will develop and incorporate it into my daily plans. I'm loving the series!

[@christinaruiz4183]

I have my Spiritual routine (Prayer, Bible study, etc) Self care, Daily chores, and Homeschool.

[@charmedbyme9697]

This is great! I've had planners since I was 20 years old (41 now) and never used them consistently but always felt the need to keep one. This is very helpful. I'm excited!!! Thank you!

[@alanalumsden5428]

I will be watching this video a few times to make sure I don't miss anything. I can't thank you enough for setting me up for 2021.

[@Am_Ende]

Cool. I'm setting up my new bound planner for 2021. It's awesome but it has no routine page so I will set one up on the blank pages, I haven't written my routines down but it will be a good thing to do.

[@SasssyRita]

I fell down the HP rabbit hole and became overwhelmed with how to set these up without creating more work and less time available to me, I’m glad I found you, what was going to be a major destash, I now feel hopeful I can put my planners to use and not waste the good money I spent on them 🙌 thank you

[@patriciakilbourn4323]

I have a mealtime routine. I am disabled and basically live a!one. My routine is to prepare my meal, while the coffee or tea is brewing I take a few minutes to walk around the house, to keep myself from rushing through my meal I read devotional or a non-fiction book, I spend about 5 minutes on c!ean up, and end with,15-20 minutes on an enjoyable pursuit such as knitting or doodling. I allow 30-45 minutes for each meeal.

[@bellaxmorningx00]

I’m in that blissful period between university semesters and my goal during break is to incorporate and further my routines. Your channel is a new inspiration, thank you!

[@michellegallagher8956]

I've just set up my various planners, refined their purposes and combined them in a transformer style. Just now I added to tomorrow's tasks "create a draft of your routines". Sure enough (and this has happened before) you've recently posted this video - just in time for me (us all, of course) to benefit. I'm going to be really interested in how you condense the time of each step of your various routines - my proposed morning one alone could stretch until 5 pm 🤣

[@LizyBethA]

Thank you for sharing! I especially love the suggestion to reward yourself for accomplishing your routine.

[@Themostrelaxedturtle]

I just want to say thank you for this video🌼😊. I have so many things to keep track of that I was getting overwhelmed, I´m trying to figure out a way to put them into a routine and this was very helpful. Will definetly come back to this video every now and then

Family meetings are so valuable! My husband and I used to have weekly family meetings and we need to get back into that habit. I was watching this video while doing the dishes to make the task more enjoyable.

Hi there, new subbie here. Thank you for this video! This has been a lifesaver. I know there are areas where I want to prosper and reached a roadblock, however this video removed that block for me. I definitely subscribed after a few of your videos. The videos are concise, straight to the point, not filled with spam, or the over selling of products. Every product mentioned (if any) is timely and the resources and struggles you discuss are relevant and genuine. This video is truly going to help me maximize the several different planners that I have to become my most productive and happy self. Thank you once again.

[@findingmyplanner-self5216]

Thank you for this. The Planner Routine is the biggest area I want to be consistent with this coming year.

[@TamikaCClark]

I do have routines. Some very unorganized and out of habit. I wake up at 5:30 and listen to my audio Bible then think on what I just heard. Get up out of bed and head to the bathroom. Coffee and think about what I have to do for the day for work and say a prayer.

[@klomax7089]

Great video! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I have routines too and I’ve reenergized them since starting a new quarter. I have a morning routine very similar to yours, but I need to add “Review planner” as the last step to the Morning routine. I like that, AND love the reward piece to add in. YES TO COFFEE!!! ☕️ ☕️☕️ I have a work start and work end routine, and an evening routine. I like how you have a planner for each of the categories of your life too. Mine are Spiritual, Self-care, Financial, Family/Marriage, Intellectual, Work/Career, Social, Home-care 😊. And I despise dishes too, so hubby does them as part of his to-do 😉👍🏽😊

[@cameronheinz3659]

I like your ideas. You’ve inspired me. Please show us what it looks like when you have all your categories written in.

[@suzisaintjames]

I don't see a getting ready for bed routine. You have a get up time, but no go to bed time. A bedtime routine will help you get up earlier. I'm not a morning person either, but I need my alone time first thing and getting to bed early is the key. Also, try getting a cup of coffee a little earlier might help as well. Keep your special coffee time, but, take advantage of a little caffeine early. Remember, plain black coffee or plain, caffeine tea (from tea leaves) won't break your fast. (Some herb or flavored teas will break your fast.) For me, even lemon water will give me a boost but lemon water will break autophagy. ❤🌅🌵😷

My routines are very simple: I have a time like 8 to 10 and there are always the same things in the same order to do: I'm starting with making tea and end with sitting at my office. It's boring, but there is everything inside and I have everything prepared for the day, so I can "rest" in my brain I never forget breakfast or lunch or have to buy something to eat or forget my keys. And the evening routine starts with preparing the next day and ends with time for me.

Hi my name is donna. I have a daytimer planner & ive decided to treat myself to a new planning system because my old one is busting its seems & i dont have anymore room in my 5.5x8.5. The 7 rings cant hold anymore. And i noticed the happy planner has expandable discs so i thought that wd work but i already bought the 2 page per day at a glance refill for 2021. So i cd either buy the mini happy planner & paper punch so i cd put refill i already have in it or give the old daytimer planner with the new refill in it to the thrift shop for someone to buy. The old cover has my initials on it so i was reluctant to give it up. But my daughter said, "mom, how can GOD bless u with something new if u keep holding on to the old." OK, so i guess i got told by GOD & my daughter, lol. Anywho i need some advice. What r the essentials i need to setting up my new mini functional happy planner. I know i need the: planner itself, the cover, the discs 2 inch because i have a lot to fill the planner w/already, & the paper cutter. Is there anything else h wd need? im sorry this is so long.

Hey! I don't think there would be anything that you absolutely have to get. As you start using your planer you will usually think of other things that may help you with your system.
