New Year Productivity: Four Life-simplifying Tools to Reset!

[@DiakaMelendez]

What are your favorite tools to stay organized? Comment below ❤

[@FrenchFriesNBrie]

Evernote (you're tempting me w/Notion), Apple Reminders, a paper planner, and a journal--I need a place to process and declutter my brain without cluttering my actual plans for the day. Thanks for the video and the resources; your advice is always practical.

[@DiakaMelendez]

@@FrenchFriesNBrieYou are so welcome! Evernote is good too! Sometimes I use Noteability!

My 13 year old baby girl and I are going to go over our goals for next year, and I'm going to teach her how to use a planner and how to break goals down in small chunks. This year I've decided to utilize the 12 Week Year, and it has been a game changer! I'm definitely doing that again for 2025. Thank you for all you do, and Happy New Year to you and your family 🎉🫶🏾

[@DiakaMelendez]

Happy New Year to you and baby girl!

[@ayeshakeller]

I was anxiously waiting for a new video! I promise I'm getting it together in 2025!

[@DiakaMelendez]

lol let’s do it together!!

[@cathylange7245]

Thank you for another fantastic video! I would love a step-by-step video on how you set up your Notion. I have my first Full Focus Planner ready to go for tomorrow!

[@DiakaMelendez]

I love that you are giving the FFP a try! I’m going on 5 years already. I will see what I can do for Notion. 😊 Pro tip is look at alll the free templates others offer. My templates were all purchased then tweaked to my liking for a few bucks!

[@jr9941]

Happy holidays! My favorite organization tool is my desk calendar and my phone. Simple and has worked best for me. ❤

[@DiakaMelendez]

Love that!

[@jasminelozano9575]

You’re cooked teeth joke killed! You have a beautiful smile so I wouldn’t even worry about it❤ When my dentist asked if I wanted braces a few years back I replied “No I’m good. Im already married.” 😂 if these teeth aren’t bothering him after 15 years, then they aren’t bothering me!!

[@DiakaMelendez]

lol same! My husband could care less!

[@MEDonc08]

I completely agree about the 5am club premise. The paper planner has been my biggest challenge but it's a work in progress.

[@DiakaMelendez]

The 5am Club was so cheesy but once I got past that it was so good!

[@alexisrenee_86]

Love your hair!

[@DiakaMelendez]

Thank you!

[@AnitraSargent]

You inspired me to ask for and I got The 12 Week Year for Christmas. I can't wait to read it!

[@DiakaMelendez]

Love it! Let me know what you think!

[@ihomeschoolmyson]

I really like the planning quarterly suggestion! I have 2 goals to focus on. Planning and setting goals for 3 months seems more tangible.

[@DiakaMelendez]

Love that! Its so much more freeing instead of a bad year you may only have a bad quarter!

[@lisarhoades3559]

Great video! Live and die by my paper planner - and Oura ring. So glad I found your channel

[@DiakaMelendez]

Glad you found me too!

[@jennl3404]

Oh, wow- just found your channel with this video and am thankful to hear your thoughts on The 5AM Club. I checked it out and gave up on it earlier than I probably should have because the tone was so different from what I was expecting. But hearing you say “if you can get past that” helps me realize I’m not the only one who was surprised, but it sounds like it definitely holds some great value. I think I’ll pick it back up and try it again 😀. Thank you, and Happy New Year!

[@DiakaMelendez]

Awesome! Yeah it’s really cheesy but I loved the premise of it. You can find some good nuggets!

[@alesawillis6]

Love all these tools! Perfect for getting ready for the new year! I have the 12 week year book and I plan to start reading it!

[@DiakaMelendez]

Awesome! Let me know how you feel about The 12 Week Year! Happy New Year 🎊

[@jennifergray157]

You are such an inspiration! Keep going! ❤

[@DiakaMelendez]

Thank you!

[@tramichalle]

Thanks for this video ❤

[@DiakaMelendez]

You are welcome! 🤗

[@MysteryViv]

I enjoy being inspired by what others like and use. Thank you for sharing. I have some ideas to investigate from your video.

[@DiakaMelendez]

So glad it helped!

[@chanillhenley]

I’m trying a new planner for 2025. It’s called the Mom Life Planner. It incorporates a budget, meal planning, kids schedules, and personal habits. I’ve enjoyed it so far, but it is a physical planner. I really want to use an electric planner but I just haven’t found anything that makes me feel personally organized.

[@DiakaMelendez]

Oh sounds like a greaT tool! I’m curious to see how it turns out!

[@veritas196]

This is a very helpful video! Thank you! And your teeth are beautiful!

[@DiakaMelendez]

lol 😂 thank you!

[@MrsKams]

Love a paper planner. I’m curious about the Aura ring as well

[@DiakaMelendez]

The Oura ring measures sleep, activity, cycles, lots of things!

[@071619571]

Love your videos. One person’s perspective please eliminate the music! I’m here to learn and the music is distracting and takes away from your message. Thank you

[@DiakaMelendez]

Noted! I go back and forth but they seem so flat without it. I may try my next one without it and see lol! Thanks for the feedback 🥰

[@lesleyhawkins2547]

I came to comment the same thing, and found you'd beat me to it. I had to turn the volume off and read the subtitles.

[@kjw79]

Franklin a planner and it’s founder Hyrum Smiths book on time ‘management’

[@DiakaMelendez]

Thanks for the book idea!

[@kjw79]

I hope you enjoy it! The wordy title is The 10 natural laws of successful time and life management. But the writing style is quite personable and there are nuggets of gold inside. Thanks for your video.

[@JeffbrillzoSinikka]

Great content, as always! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@DiakaMelendez]

I am not familiar with that.

[@dead91alive]

Hi Diaka. I recently discovered your channel. Looking forward to watching more videos. Also, which treadmill is that and would you recommend it?

[@DiakaMelendez]

Thank you! This is the Peloton tread. I love it 🥰 best purchase of 2023-24 but if you don’t do the classes I would go cheaper.

[@dead91alive]

@DiakaMelendez Thank you for replying. 😊

[@elenamartrod7305]

Hiiii ❤

[@DiakaMelendez]

Good Morning! 🌞

[@lesleycastillo1812]

New subscriber here. Do you have a how to use Notion video. I spent an hour trying to figure it out and tried to use templates, but became frustrated and deleted it all

[@DiakaMelendez]

I will see what i can work on! One thing I shared in another comment as there are so many notion templates that are free that you can Google or for a few dollars download one and tweak it to the way you want, which is what I did and both of the templates in this video.

[@iamnyoka]

I love digital planning but something about writing things down hits every time

[@DiakaMelendez]

Just feels more satisfying 🥰

[@tr7339]

The planner...

[@DiakaMelendez]

@@tr7339 curious what planner you use?
