How to Plan When Each Day Is Different

[@christamieday4142]

This was helpful! I’m a caregiver for my adult son with special needs and my days are hard to plan. I like the idea of the lists and larger time blocks.

[@khenderson5374]

I really appreciate that you brought up how folks with inconsistent days should use a list system as opposed to time-blocking! I try to do at least 3 things, and then maintain my basic habit trackers. It doesn't get too overwhelming, yet you're still making progress! ^__^

[@amytrieu4920]

Alaina, you UNDERSTAND me so well! Thank you for recognizing that our brains work differently! I don't have a wildly variable schedule, but my energy level varies day to day, which means that I work out, grocery shop, clean, cook, and rest at different times throughout the week. I knew about work blocks, but it just helped to hear your validation that we are all different and therefore need different systems.

[@PaolaTuazon]

I absolutely love your videos, you tackle nuanced topics about how to actually use your planner. These little details are what help beginners like me to create a habit and not get overwhelmed ♥

I'm only 62, but between being retired, suffering from anxiety, and the isolation of the current Covid situation I had no routine whatsoever - everything went out the window and I was spending way too much time watching tv etc. Made the decision to pick a couple of things off the to-do list for the next day, and bingo! I have more energy and my mood is better, just from giving myself the smallest bit of structure to the day. Thank you for the 'push' I needed!

[@emazey5044]

Excellent tips and perfect for my situation! Thank you!

[@tamelise4433]

Very helpful video. I tried to make time blocking work but would get discouraged because every day was different. Thanks for the awesome useful content and not a bunch of fluff with stickers etc.

[@thatstotallythea]

Your videos have been such an inspiration to me as the year closes out soon. I have already incorporated some of your ideas, the black and red pens, wellness tracking, and blocking time/lists to be more productive. Thank you for taking the time to film, edit, upload and publish all of this for us each week. I know it is time consuming and I greatly appreciate your efforts. God Bless! :)

[@LorigZAvonLady]

Thanks for posting to plan your day you need to be flexible and be realistic of your goals for your day

[@Parkitloveit]

The three time blocks + master list sounds doable, thank you!

[@Reina623]

This is very helpful. Thank you.

[@backtoearthcreations]

Your videos have been so helpful to me in getting my life and business on track; thank you so much!!

[@lindawoodfill503]

I have been watching your videos again getting ready for the new year .

[@racm2179]

Exactly what I needed! I have 3 kids under 5. Exclusively breastfeeding my 10mos. old, and have 3 retail shops to manage. You are heaven-sent! Thank you for the things you do. ♥️

[@Thedailytrotter]

As always excellent. Any person who wants to plan and wants to learn some great sensible and most important functional advice. Your the lady I love watching your videos so much. They speak to me because its logical. Thank you

[@lolgriffin3243]

This is so helpful! Thank you ❤

[@Sunshineblazefire]

Thank you! I sort of figure about the work in block recently when looking at a different weekly layout. I was like nah I need specific time but the way you explain it help gain perspective so I'll utilized that method until I can schedule it either dailies with weekend overview or like the time block you've shown. I appreciate that you mention about being flexible and showing ways of how to adapt to it especially since your is clear and isn't clutter on the schedule. I often felt like I need to fill in at least most stuff and I definitely don't recommend it because that's definitely stressful! Lol

[@LadyDewinter]

Thank you! I no longer work, Im retired and so time blocking really isnt necessary for me. But I do like to have a plan for my day. The three blocks method sounds like it will work for me.

[@kandjkraft]

I love the idea of using red ink to indicate what actually happened or didn't happen!

[@tiffanyd.caldwell328]

I need the blocks! Great tip! I'm still struggling to set up a planner that works with my odd schedule and health issues.

[@atmemawshouse]

Very helpful! Thank you! 💕💕

[@Lubbehobby]

Love your ideas. This really helps

[@jtfirewalker]

Oh that’s why time block never worked for me! This was super helpful!

[@Sherriyah]

You my friend are a Planning Powerhouse! ❤️💚🖤

[@letytoscano2773]

Learning so much from you, thank you.

[@alanalumsden5428]

I have four kids 5-9 so every day is different and had no idea how to plan so this is definitely coming at a good time for me.

[@essieves1557]

Absolutely adore your videos and content it's always inspirational informational and an encouragement to get your sh*t together lol. Because of my job my schedule is always a toss up with getting call ins and unscheduled shifts. Thought I wanted an hourly planner but currently working with a vertical calendar. You're suggestions on this video makes me think I'm already in the right direction with my planning since it's TRUE that I cant necessarily plan out my day by the hour might try suggestion of time blocking so I at least have a more personalized plan each day of to dos and priorities what I want to accomplish. Right now I have four lists for each day personal goals, work task list, work schedule and eating tracker. I think timeblocking will be an even more efficient way for me to organize everything I want to accomplish in a day. Because idle hands are the devils playground. And I definitely dont want that. Thank you again for all your content you make planning and organizing your schedule fun and inviting. Definitely an inspiration. Keep up the job work. Sincerely

[@FarzanasLaw]

FANTASTIC VIDEO!!!!

[@empressofrussia]

This was such a useful video. My day changes often but I struggled to make sure my planning looked like some of the other planning videos I've seen. This assures me that doing what works best for me is the aim. Thank you.

[@wonderfullyjay3490]

Thank God you made this video! I watch your videos and I’m like my two small kids make it impossible to time block!!!! But blocking out times is doable 😍

[@madalenanolascotavaresdeca2752]

I think you read my mind! This came in such an opportune time. Thank you your tips.

[@kjjohnson83]

I SO needed this video. I'm a work from home mom to a one year old and all the standard planning methods have not been working for me. This seems like it might, though! Can't wait to try. Thank you!

[@paigesmith6898]

This has been one of your most helpful videos, yet, for me! Thank you!

[@karenhawkins1275]

These ideas make so much more sense! I am always moving things around when I plan a whole week in one sitting. Adding to your plans the night before is genius!

[@Ree29Ree]

Very informative. 💜 I needed all of this with all the changes that are happening

[@Selena0Izabelle]

I like the Mixing of the Hourly Planner with the lists and the Planning in Black and red. I feel it Could fit my days Full of program changes, make me actually using my planner and Even making my planner Helpful. Thank you :) Btw: I really Love your Attitude and energy

[@VeggieRoseOfficial]

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Thank you so much :) I am so happy that I can help....

[@hazelsalvador4849]

Thank you for the wonderful tips!!!

[@danive89]

Thank you so much for this video. My days are dependant on this around me so it would always be hard for me to plan my day. I’m going to try to use that last tip, hopefully it gets me started towards a more organised day.

[@FineNaturalHairandFaith]

Learning so much from you and recommending you to anyone who will listen lol! My days are unpredictable right now since Covid but I’m still using the hourly because I need the structure and know life will return to normal where I will need it some day. I am however time blocking for appointments, creating etc and then I will do a general block where I get my to do’s ✅ I do plan my entire week but also the day before...the week has things I know I need to do as well as routines. I add other stuff night before too. This works great 👍🏾

[@paulahunte1903]

awesome video!

[@DazzlingStar07]

Can you share your planner when you travel? Like what's the routine like at Grandma's place? Or you visit your mom's place and staying there for a while? I find myself in bit of a bind to find a routine whenever I travel and especially get back into a routine after the travels

[@ambreenmahmoodkhan6570]

I thought I was doing my planning wrong but you showed me how to improve it. Last tip was the best. Thanks

[@thenerdyelephant1098]

Coming thru with the topics!

[@BeverlyLeeCreates]

[@LadyPrick]

I dreamed about this video so loooong time. Thank you! 💕All my days are different cause of my little 7 month son so planning is really difficult. I mean "was difficult" until now))) Best wishes from Russia 🎄

[@debbielee93]

Perfect!

[@triciaalleyne2673]

I hate the hourly I find planning that way is sooooo hard but it’s because my days are unpredictable and I hate structure vertical was easy so 6 months later I am still on the struggle bus but I bought the planner stupse

[@hairdebi]

I've been looking for the video you mentioned in the stream where you use the morning noon and evening to make time specific list. I can't seem to find it.

[@Talkinglife]
