☀️ About this channel
This channel is all about designing an intentional life, simplifying your days and getting things done.

[@chanelh1972]

I keep my personal lists on google keep on my phone and they're all color coded, categorized and ordered by priority. They include: goals, bucket list, gratitude, journal prompts, errands, affirmations, my accomplishments, things I need to hear, favorite memories, places I want to visit, things to look forward to, strengths, things I want to work on (mentally, life, physically), quotes, life lessons, workouts, and lists of things to do when mad/bored/sad/upset/down/depressed/anxious. I review them constantly, edit them and change them during low impact cardio workouts like stationary biking or elliptical. Then at work I have work dump/to do lists and my top three work priorities for that day.

[@muchelleb]

Love this! 💛💛💛 sounds like you have things sorted af.

Try to do baby steps💗 Break everything into small cunks. Also it’s really easy to feel overwhelmed when there’s a lot on your to do list. Listing the to dos from most to least urgent/important usually helps me.

[@faysmith7274]

I have a list called the procrastinating list. I pop everything that comes into my head and I pop them on there. So freeing

[@amywoolsey6591]

Excellent! I love Notion also. I use A, B, or C to delineate priorities for my action items. A = Working on Now, B = Up Next and C = Not on my radar yet. This helps me clear my mind of all things "C". It also gives me a short term picture that includes what I plan to do next. Most action items are, of course, in C, but once I'm done with my A items, I move B items to A and review the C items to see what should be moved to B.

[@elisha_kl]

you’re almost at 400k! congrats ☺️💗 so proud of you

[@mrandisg]

Mind. Blown. 🤯🤯🤯🤯 The second you said Notion was free for personal use, I had to pause the video and check it out. I'd heard it was a great app, but I mistakenly thought it was for iOS only, and I'm a Windows and Android girl. So when I clicked the link, I was instantly blown away. My jaw hit the floor several times as I watched the demos of what Notion can do. I immediately signed up! (And subbed to your channel, btw. 😁) I have never, ever seen an app that is so all-inclusive. It's the Swiss Army knife of apps! It's my dream planner, that fabled "unicorn" planner that we planner addicts fantasize having. Or I should say planner/journal/binder/sticky note/list pad/EVERYTHING app! I am beyond amazed. The biggest reason I'm so excited about this is because I have ADHD. So, while I love love love planners and organizers of all kinds, not many of them will work with my brain, and even if I find one that does, my brain will eventually get tired of it and reject it. The only two paper systems I consistently come back to are traveler's notebooks and bullet journals because I'm always able to adapt them to my current needs. However, even they have a tendency to stop working, especially if I'm struggling with my mental health issues (I also have depression and anxiety). Now, I am fully aware that this app is not a cure-all for every single problem I have with executive functioning. It won't magically make me a better person. But it WILL satisfy my craving for a way to bring all my scattered thoughts together in one place. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! 💖

[@bradblackwell948]

4:35 you've spoken to my soul, it's time for me to get that goat off my someday/maybe list and in my backyard

[@F0reverblessed]

Absolutely! A list gives you a good idea of what your day/week is going to be like. It also holds you accountable because you can physically see all that needs to be done rather than having it all in your mind. From a self love content creator to another; great video Muchelle. Loved these tips! 💗

[@Natalie-ng5wt]

Following this video, I downloaded Notion, and at first I found it really hard to work with on my phone. I was so ready to give up, but I decided I needed to change my approach in life (where my laziness gets in the way of creating the life I want - sidetrack!). I opened Notion on my browser and tried again. I was able to download your Life Dashboard - shoutout for starting us off, Michelle! Then I began adapting this to suit my life. You do have to give this a decent amount of trial/error/practice before deciding on it, but it's a game-changer! My hope is this tool will help me to live my life more intentionally, rather than tumbleweed-ing along like I have been (which actually stresses me out more!). And I really think it will ❤️❤️

[@LifeEllen]

YES! I found Notion through you and it was love at first sight!!!

[@bethjloveswax]

Yaay, makes me so happy! 💛

[@newyorkification]

I'm so overwhelmed by the thought of this. It probably is very helpful but this is college level planning and I'm at a toddler level of planning. Where would you start if you never had planned anything before? Where would you start if it all seemed terrifying. It all seems so permanent and in stone, with no way out, no allowances for clumsiness or fear. No changing your mind. It probably isnt as bad as I'm making it seem but I so want to make this planning thing work.

[@muchelleb]

I totally feel you, this is definitely me after 4ish years of figuring out how to organise my life. I’d start with one big master to do list that you store somewhere thats easy to access and add to - iphone notes, google keep, whatever works. Then I’d have a notebook (I’m defs a physical notebook gal when it comes to planning my days) and every day just write down three to dos from your big master list. My sister is newer to planning and that’s where she’s started and she’s finding is super helpful (it’s also where I kicked off for sure)

Hi Michelle, your content is incredible. I have been following you for a few years, and I am so proud of your growth. I am a singer-songwriter doing all of her own stunts (marketing, videos, music, branding, etc) as well, while having a full-time job, so I know how much work you put into this. I use Things 3 because of you, just bought your Notion templates, and will be getting the Life Map soon. I seriously appreciate all of your hard work, consistency, and visuals. The Life Map Collective website looks great. Congratulations, lifelong fan! - Marlo

[@tanya-xoxo]

10:45 omg, big ah ha moment. If you brain dump you will feel uncluttered and free to do things, so true for me. I try to hold everything in my head and get paralyzed by "I have so much to do" and nothing gets done. Once it's out on a list, there is a sense of freedom. Never thought about it that way but it's so true.

[@alinabelousova]

I was literally reading all of your to-do lists :))

[@whoisappie]

So over the past year i haven't been that organized with to-do's, life goals, etc. Very intentionally, after having traveled for half a year I just wanted to live a little more relaxed and I only did the things that I felt necessary (writing down little to-do's but no weekly reviews etc. or any future goals) Today I was on instagram and someone said in their story the sun is going into virgo today and we might feel like being more intentional, goal setting and making lists. I thought nahhh, I'm good. Then I watched a few youtube videos that were somewhat on this topic (because I do like learning about it) and now I'm like hell yeah, I'm gonna slowly and gradually get back into a more productive/intentional lifestyle. Starting with only one goal for the next 3 months, instead of 3 what I'd usually do. This video was motivational and helpful to get more organized again :)

[@Alyseshelby]

Hi Muchelle, I would love to know how you balance spontaneity and sticking to your routines like the weekly review. My partner is very spontaneous and we often get last minute invites at the weekend, like this Friday our friends invited us to camp out on their farm. (Lots of goats there btw!) It's great but it means we get back late sunday night and then I feel like I'm playing catch up to get the week on track.

[@regulargorgeous]

This is fabulous. I am a big fan of writing “things” down. I feel like it creates a sense of importance and significance. And I have 4 journals full of goals, to-dos, and things I want aka perhaps! I’m gonna try Notion! Thank you for the coupon. P.S. I use a binder for a “capture tool”

[@meadowwalk]

I wanted to mention that I was inspired by your KonMari clear out. Of course, you were doing just clothes, skin care, and a few books. I have a whole home, everything from kitchen appliances to bedding etc. But the clothes inspired me. I tagged you on insta with my photo. I actually dragged out EVERYTHING and cleared it out. A whole car full went to the thrift store yesterday. Now I cannot wait to do my books. Thank you!

[@chesterdavis27]

I desperately need something like Notion because I am managing a job hunt, a fiction project, a nonfiction project, various goals, and all kinds of self-improvement stuff. I've also been inspired to adopt a goat. I think I now have 7 capture tools, four paper and three online. Ugh!
