Yes please

[@jacquelinerogers2997]

Thank you!! That is my problem being too ambitious instead of honing in on what I really want to get done. This has been very helpful.

[@kimberlybarrett8079]

Sometimes I forget to look at my to do list even when it’s sitting beside me. But I’m going to keep going!

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Add an alarm to your phone to remind you to check it at certain times of the day

[@kimberlybarrett8079]

@@TheOrganizedMoney Thank you for responding. Great advice I’m going to do that.

[@lisahook7978]

I completely agree that having more time for focus is SO IMPORTANT! I work 2 full time jobs and until recently I was at both jobs every day and I felt like I was getting nothing done. I rearranged my schedules to make each day a one location day and 1 week in I have already completed SO MUCH!! Thank you for all the tips and tricks to tweaking our schedules!

[@BarbaraBrooks]

Thanks for this! I'm going to put in Alexa to remind me to glance at it. My ADHD has me popping all over the place at times😂

[@randomhodgepodge8902]

Instant thumbs up based only on the title. According to my planner, I cleaned the bathroom yesterday and the dishes the day before!:) Love my planner. Couldn't function without it. Avoiding distractions, yep, my downfall:( That plus I spend too much time with youtube (that's my 'social') and games. Good tips, thanks!

[@alvarobinson5238]

Thank you for this topic, Alaina. I really needed to hear this today as I am setting up my planner.

[@katheryndbutts]

Great video, super helpful! My ADD is major and focus is hard so this was really good, thank you!

[@lindawoodfill503]

I love watching/ listening to your videos . I’m good at time management at work, I go go go lol But home it’s planning with my time around the hubby .( Especially on the weekends when he home and he likes to go somewhere where I am a homebody) .Love your tips !!

[@user-gp7vl3fg6f]

Hello Ms. Alaina, I am watching you from work (yup, I have a job now). Not sure if you remember me but I am CCsellnMK and I did a call with you last year. You gave me such great advice/guidance. I am trying to implement the things you share to make me more productive. That migh be a good video; how to "do all the things"/it's OK if it takes some "time" to manage your "time" (smile). Oh yeah and I see you with your Organized Money Tshirt . . . . yesss!!!

[@user-qo9jw6bv3b]

These are such good reminders! Thanks for another great video.

[@marymellone5548]

Omg. You must be looking into my soul..I’m going to try your strategy..my life organization skills are out of control ..

[@Charyl]

These tips are helpful thx😊

[@StevieBowers91]

Thank you so much for this video, it couldn't have come at a better time! These past few months I have been trapped in a type of analysis paralysis between being a stay-at-home mom, planning our wedding, trying to keep the ball rolling with building my business, house work, personal care.... The works! I would have a list of things that I needed or wanted to be doing for the day, then get caught up in what felt like every distraction possible then before I knew it the end of the day would arrive and I wouldn't have a whole lot, or hardly anything, to show for it so then I would just be disappointed in myself. There would be so much on my list I am ashamed to say I'd procrastinate on even setting up my planner and goals/steps for the month🤦🏼‍♀️😓 thank you so much for your videos, I look forward to each and every one! Wishing you and your loved ones lots of health, happiness and love! 🥰❤️‍🔥🎉👏

[@RightToFreedomGirl]

Stevie: Your health (i.e., healthy food habits, vitamins, proper sleep) have to take priority. Your wedding needs to be REALISTIC - not Hollywood-ish/Celebrity-ish - delegate, delegate, delegate, even if it means spending money - - but MONEY is a stressor so downsize the wedding. Americans focus more on a wedding than they do their own MENTAL / physical health & that's just plain dumb & detrimental. Live smart. A happy you keeps your weight in check (less cortisol which increases waistline) and a less crowded mind means proper sleep time. MAKE YOU your priority, not keeping up with the Joneses trying to construct a Disney wedding. LOVE on yourself, pleasssse. Start off on the "good foot" & that means you looking your best & feeling your best bc you're no longer "trying to do it all". Prayers for you "setting boundaries" for yourself so you can breathe easy. Blessings to you & your union. In Christ, AMEN.

[@lindaf6025]

Thanks for this helpful video and your h8nts and tips.

[@yuki179]

I really love your videos, they help me keep on track an remind myself that I can always restart my time at any given point. I miss the old introduction because I used to say it like a mantra with you lol. I now manage my time with time blocks and hourly trackers and it's not perfect but now I don't miss any appointment with my students. Love your videos

[@fireworks4037]

Lots of good information. I'll watch this one several times. Thank you.

[@TralynnBerry]

I love Deep Work!!! It's one always go back too.

[@victoriabridges1944]

I was just searching for this very topic last night (I’m a subscriber anyway so it’s not down to the algorithm) so happy you posted this today, thank you

[@godsprecious6884]

Great information 😊😊

[@crystalcovington1733]

Thanks so much for this video! I am guilty of ALL of these naughty habits!! I LOVE my planner, but I don't use it regularly & my brain gets distracted easily. I look forward to using my planner again!

[@jayme3557]

This would be great IF I wasn't completely dead tired all day long, every single day.... Ugh.... 😫😢

[@leslieb4553]

My 5 am self is so optimistic while 4 pm me is a zombie!

[@jenniferlegrow504]

I feel you! Once I am done with my 9-5 job I am just done for the day!

[@victoriabridges1944]

We’re all tired, I know this doesn’t help but you’re among (tired) friends 🫠😴

[@jayme3557]

@@victoriabridges1944 I know I shouldn't complain, as I am my dad's caregiver. AND I think I'm going through perimenopause, so there's that to contend with... My body just wants to hibernate until the stress passes 😂

[@victoriabridges1944]

@@jayme3557 I’m sorry to hear that mate. I’m not dealing with half of that and still stressed and shattered! Hope things ease off a bit for you soon 🤗

[@caprispillingtheteaLST]

I love this except I’m a digital planner. Cause that paper will go straight in the trash. Everything goes in my phone, iPad or computer. I need reminders and my Apple Watch does this for me. Love the videos 🎉❤

[@JameeWoodard]

I love time blocking. It is the best way to work for me

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

It really is!

[@MommaWR]

In addition to having a great channel with useful information you also have a ridiculously clean/decluttered space. Do you think you will, one day, go over decluttering to help with creating more time to be productive (less time cleaning) and more mental clarity?

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Yes. I do plan on doing more home content. I did a video on how I keep my desk organized. Here is that video: kzbin.infoQE5gam5xrbI?feature=share

[@carissasimmons1658]

Please stop this 😢, I feel so attacked 😂😂😂.

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

😂😂😂

[@darlenesabatka446]

"Deep pockets of uninterrupted time".....okay so not for stay at home moms 😂😅

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Not right now. I didn’t start doing this consistently until my kids were a little older. But it will come….☺️ seasons change

[@maryannemoll]

The title of this video is personally attacking me. Teeheehee. 😅😅😅

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

😂😂 sorry..

[@k.6160]

This was really good. I have a beautiful planner but not making good use of it, sng we're in the second half of the year. I was just thinking about this during the week 😊📅

[@bjquilts29]

It's about priorities, not "obey". Your intent is good. Your wording is strange. It is my calendar, I am not a slave to it! There is no need to "obey" something inanimate! People are not robots.

[@TheOrganizedMoney]
