These ideas will work with all the other tips I've found. However, I have to get them 'on the square'. This was my husband's mantra for making time for everything to be done. You have to plan to plan. One thing I used to do as a Home Executive, was to create and maintain a Basic Week Plan. This included a desk day(2-4 hours), an errand day (4-6 hours), a surface clean day(2-4 hours), a project day (6-8 hours), a deep cleaning day (4-6 hours), and 2 free days (AKA the weekend). Each routine task will fit in one of those days.
The audio on your last couple of videos sounds distorted or like you changed mic inputs. I need a weekly plan and a daily plan. I am moving into sterling ink for their horizontal layout but have a vertical one if I need the time blocking. My day to day changes so much with chronic illness and being disabled, but I have lots of things to keep track of at any given point that a planner or bujo is a must for me.
Thank you so much for commenting this!! ♥ The false title you're seeing is a working title that I use before I pick the real title of the video, and definitely shouldn't be showing up for you, as the actual title ("5 productivity tips I am taking with me into 2025.") is correct in my RUclips back end. After investigating, it looks like lots of RUclipsrs have had the same issue, where some viewers (especially those with foreign language settings) still see the working title. Now that I know the problem I'm working on fixing it - but it may not be done very soon as RUclips makes languages very tricky for some reason 😭 Apologies for the weirdness, I'll figure it out so this hopefully doesn't happen again! Thank you!!
Can you use a notebook/planner as task manager? .... I have a boring job, I don't have hobbies, my life is pretty monotonous, but I love planning, but then, I get bored easily and I have a toxi relationship with social media. I love your videos and i'm curious about task manager and capture. In my mind, it was the same. I'm trying to figure out what I truly need, what truly works for me. I spent too much money in planners that I ended up no using. Anyway, I wanted to say thank you for your videos.
I'm a similar way but yes you can use a notebook/planner as task manager. I bought a sterling ink A6 and B5 (compact ver.) with too many stickers from previous years. A6 is for my, on the go, braindump, task list, my maybe schedules. I use it to it to edit and plan out my days. B5 is my, what I actually did/ what is important. Plus, I want to draw again. I have too many stickers/washi that was a poor habit of mine. So my goal is to use them all up an learning to doodle decor/images I like for my planner. As for social media, I have gotten better over the years due to creating or getting into habits/hobbies, which also adds to my planner of To Do's. I use time limits on my apps ( not as a hard rule) but its just a reminder to get off the phone and do something else, ANYTHING else. I wanted to get into reading and it was difficult at first due to low attention span but Ive gotten better. Since sept ive read 5 books (2 being manga). Goal is 25books for 2025. If you don't care for reading then go for a walk and listen to music, stretch, do a chore youve been putting off, go out with friends, learn to make ur fav. starbucks coffee, drink water, redecorate ur room, just anything and that adds to your planner. Sometimes just reflecting on the person you want to be is helpful meditation. Sure a lot of ppl want to lose weight or eat healthy for the new years but that never last long cause Its not really important to them hindsight. Do you want to learn or like to cook? Then naturally you eat better or at least be mindful of ur eating habits if you learn new recipes or cook more often.
Forgive me for being so blunt, but I’d suggest you need to look harder at the basics before worrying about tracking or managing what you are doing. You use the words boring and monotonous which, to my mind, is the problem, not how you’re managing associated tasks. Perhaps a deeper dive into your life to identify what excites you, what attracts you, what you are curious about etc would be the best starting place for you in 2025. Once you know what you want you can start with a goal - and I can’t stress enough how important it is to make that specific. When you have a goal then go into what that actually looks for you eg - financial security is a common goal, but what does that mean to YOU? Mortgage free? Able to afford a comfortable retirement? (Again, you’ll need to specify what comfortable looks like to you). And, of course, you need a timeline attached - otherwise it stays a dream. Then you need a strategy to get there eg buy a place in an up and coming area so the value, and your equity, grows at a good rate. Invest in a good retirement scheme etc etc. Then you have break those down yet again, and again and again, until you get to the actions you need to take to make it happen. Give a dream a deadline and it becomes a goal, give your goals strategies, milestones and actions and you have a plan. If you have a plan, you will know that everything you do is getting you closer to your goals - and it becomes less about whether the task is boring and all about where completing that task is taking you - and that should never be boring! Good luck.

not sure if it's a auto-translation mistake but the title for me is "RIT 151 taglio finale HD 1080p" (Final Cut)
5 productivity tips I am taking with me into 2025 is the real title!
It's the same silly thing in German, does anyone know how to turn off this autotranslate?
Also in Spanish
