      Hey I enjoyed the vid! Just a little tip, google is smarter than you and actually gives an option to grey out done tasks: go to settings -> view options -> reduce brightness of past events. It greys out all past events tho, so you may want to keep your system if you find yourself lagging behind the schedule, but you shouldn't with proper time boxing. Hope that helped :)

      Don't bother, just do what you feel like when you feel like
      Having a fixed schedule of how you're supposed to spend every minute of your free time is labouring and really pointless.
      Honestly, if you need a schedule I would personally just do something like this. If I'm supposed to study today, so say I'm gonna study 2 hours this day. When I sit down to study, I check what time it is, and then take a break whenever I feel like, and check the time. Do that until I reach 2 hours, and just stretch it if needed. No rigid time boxes, no nothing. Just do it whenever you feel like, but set a time minimum

      That sounds exactly like what I need. Setting everything to a an always fixed time is mostly not possible for me. Do you have to enter the things every morning anew? Or could you go into some detail how you do it in the calendar? Thanks:)

      @@Seb00lean well my workflow is a bit different than what soul showed here. I have 2 lists, a daily and a weekly task list. Every day I move some tasks from the weekly to the daily list. so let's say i wish to do unit 1 of electronics today. I'll add this to my daily list but also create a sublist for this task which in this case includes the individual topics i wish to cover. Then, I add all these subtasks to google calendar such that i set the name of the google calendar event to each subtask. in this case, that would be all the topics of unit 1 i wish to do.
      i manage all my lists in this open src app called obsidian. a lot of making daily and weekly lists is assisted by the plugins inside obsidian.

      I got a notification from my app to have a glass of water and do some calf raises while I was typing this 😂
      The app isn’t ready yet, but it’ll be free when i release it.

    Gcal is great for ADHDers, it's minimalist so it doesn't overwhelm you, plus it integrates with other google products.
    I don't time block like shown here since it makes me stressed out, but I have been using it for years for it's reminders (now merged with tasks).
    For classes, doctor appointments, friend hangouts, dates when a new season of a beloved tv show comes out etc. I use the Event option, and for things like watering my plants and running errands I use tasks everyday. The task stays as a notification on my phone and I don't swipe it until I actually do the thing, so I never ever forget to do anything I need to do.

    I can understand such system can help temporarily. What you are proposing is "life-boxing" and I've done just to feel bad for not doing what I forced myself to do. I think people looking for a more permanent solution should look into habit tracking using a journal or just using a simple digital or in paper list. Start small and feel what works for you and what doesn't and adapt. Be water!

    Bro you are soooo good. I thought you would have atleast 100k subs, but I was astonished to see your subs. You are so underrated.
    Here are some tips to make your channel stand out:
    1. Your channel logo and mascot are very similar to the popular channel @easy . Consider changing them first.
    2. Always ask for likes, comments and subs at the middle or end of the video.
    3. I personally like @this. guy's way of asking for likes, comments and subs. His approach is short, simple, and unique. Take some inspiration from him.
    4. Mention your channel name in your videos. For example, "Being productive is Soul simple!"
    If this helps, please give a shoutout to my channel, Cubezz. I'll be uploading more content for my followers quite soon.

    You're so funny😂. Thank you for this productivity hack. I'm also using google calendar but I just put task in it and I dread it day by day not ending up doing it. However, your idea of turning those tasks into emojis was great. I'll go try it out. Thank you for this video❤❤.
