Now this is exactly what I would consider to be a true Plan With Me! I love watching how you're managing all this. I also love that you have broken away from the sort of traditional weekly and monthly planning. I don't really do weekly or daily planning in the strictest sense. I do maintain a to-do list, usually for a week or two, adding as I think of things. This was very cool. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
I am just starting my journey, and I found your channel when looking up how to choose a word of the year. Lots of people say WHAT it is or WHERE to get ideas for it, but you explained HOW to think about it (connect to goals). Thanks for making these videos that so clearly explain the thought process behind how to populate your journal.
Most welcome! 😄 glad that you get value from them. A lot of the time it’s hard to explain a “why” or “how” more thoroughly, so I’m glad that came across 💪💜
About the meal planning; what about putting down 14 different dinner ideas on the fortnightly planning page - then check them off as you eat them. This way you are eating the food you have purchased, but you are flexible on the days.
Thank you so much for this! I have been searching for people who plan quarterly and I stumbled across you - so much of your content is exactly what I needed right now, especially about the bujo method vs system, and about cyclic and quarterly planning. I can't wait to see where this goes!
What I found interesting was instead of migrating the tasks, you would go back and check them off later (meaning if you wrote it down wednesday and did it friday - you just checked them off of Wednesday's list). This might be interesting for me. My journal is a little bit more like Ryder Carroll's - but I add color and decoration. I don't do weekly spreads or fortnightly spreads. I think your spreads are gorgeous and I have used some of the monthly's in the past. I will be following along to see about this cycle and fortnight idea. Maybe it is time for a change in how I do things.
I've been pretty busy, so I had to watch this in chunks over 3 days, but i loved this! I appreciate seeing your thought process in actually using your spreads, especially when things don't work exactly as anticipated! This is what makes you stand apart from other RUclipsrs!
I have only been journaling for a month and a half and I am obsessed! I started with a bujo but that simply wasn't enough. I need to journal, write, recollect, record, and reflect every single day! It brings me great peace and joy! I think I've been working my way to common placing without knowing it. Thank you for such a wonderfully honest and insightful video!
Hey Jashii! Love your content. Your Alistair method for weekly planning changed my work task list planning and i love it!!! Your fortnightly planning is an interesting concept but i couldn't help but critique the duplication aspect. It doesn't seem feasible or sustainable. Maybe consider keeping the "calendar cycle" as reference for actual top tasks done and dailys for planning. You could have your preplanning in a task like/ to do column/ table/ Alistair with your trackers section. Im writing this from 23minutes into the video so you may have pointed out how you want to change it for your next week.
I appreciate your talking us through your daily planning process. What was most essential to me at the moment is your time blocking at the beginning of the day. I'm going to incorporate these blocks into my daily planning, too. Thank you for the inspiration!
Action list work: you could do a number on the side of each item in order of the items that you do, and then add them into your daily list as a line of action items n - m where m is the last thing you complete if a different number. If just one item is used then action item n would be a way of noting the number of the item you have done/ added that day. Just a thought.
The ones I used this year were savings total, weight, food obsession, recently enjoyed movie, song, TV show, book, game, something I recently tried, accomplished, phrase I use a lot right now, problem, looking forward to, nervous about
Giving secret santa on february is normal for my group of firends. We are busy and live away, so it's hard to get everybody together 😅 It's nice to see the process of filling the spreads and all the thoughts of what things are working or some changes made. It's good to plan the spreads ahead, but it is also good to being able to change and adapt.
For sure 💪 that’s why I like my dailies; I can just fit other bits and pieces in around them when I want to make a list or anything else 😝 very flexible!
I love this idea! I especially love the fortnightly system as I find that a singular week always feels disconnected from uh progressing time so the idea of visualising two at a time is perfect! How did you find that this system worked for you?
My question is, how do we come up with so many goals when we're a stay at home housewife 😅 my income earning is from online surveys and my days look generally the same. I wanna keep using my journal but I feel like it's just repetitive and don't know how to go about it. I'm thinking about cutting out the weekly spreads but don't know if I should. Any thoughts? This video was super helpful 😊
I'm retired, so I have similar issues. I really don't do goal planning. At this stage of my life, I'm mostly just enjoying what comes along. My only real goals anymore are traveling to specific places. I don't know that I'm ready to put any plans together for those, or if I just want to wait and see if some sort of weird opportunity turns up.
Maybe plan some different events for each month or write down some ideas you want to add into your current routine. Or you could plan meals/write down different cleaning schedules for each day
Even for other people who may not have creative jobs (i.e. a cashier, bus driver, etc.), the goals can be things that are not career related. You can explore new things - make a goal to learn to cook a new meal every so many days. Learn a new craft (knit, crossstitch, woodburning, gardening). Do something altruistic - tutor / mentor a young person; or make meals for elderly people. So that the journal may not be a reflection of your financial life; but rather a reflection of your growth as a human. By the way - I work from home as an online tutor. Other than scheduling my students- my journal is nothing to do with my career.
I think the question wether your journal feels repetitive or your life. If it's your journal: Yes, definitely cut the weeklies! Anything that isn't of use to you can be removed from your journal. Maybe try to switch to daily rapid logging and only plan ahead in months? That might even lead to you taking more time for monthly setups to make them more fun for you to use, if that is something that helps you. If it's your life that feels repetitive I think one of the other commentors already gave really good tips for that: Set goals that have nothing to do with the things that need to get done. Explore new hobbies or activities. Reflect on wether you like them or not. Set goals to learn something new like a language or a craft. Maybe get back into old hobbies that got lost in time. And most importantly in this scenario: Allow yourself to dislike something you try and replace it. Novelty makes your life interesting, and it comes with exploration which includes "fails" 😊
I wonder if putting up/down arrows, for the time blocks you end up doing out of order, might make sense, instead of crossing them out? To indicate that you did do the thing that day, just not in the planned order? For me, at least, I would find that less discouraging, I think, but that may just be a me-thing 😅
Hey so I have also started with looking four weeks ahead at the time because months dont make sense for me :D And then dailies behind that. So much easier to follow :D
Also, if you plan for a block of work for a, bx2, and then c, d; and actually do them in a different order on the actual day, is that important for you or is it important that they were done? I recognize that the blocks are a set number of hours, at least I think so. So it’s a way to balance the energy among activities that you want to do and not overdo things. Just a thought for considering.
I loved this, getting to see how you use your planning tools is so neat! Your theme for your first cycle is so pretty too! (Also, I promise I wasn't being creepy but I noticed PCOS Research on your goals spreads. I also have PCOS and I can recommend some books if you're interested! I am also sending you some hugs and good energy, if you'd like, it's different for everybody, but I know it can be very frustrating.)
Thanks for sharing this first week in your new system. When you say goal work did you mean specifically work from your goals/action list? Or from your goals course? And how is that separate from your regular work?
When I say "goal work" I mean working on my goals, so doing things off my actions list 😊 Just so happens that at this point, I'm in particular working on the goals course (which getting that released is one of my Quarter 1 goals...it's all very meta 😂) Regular work is just the typically video making, community engaging, etc. that I do on a "usual" work day 💜
It's roughly 2 blocks before lunch/1pm, 2 blocks after lunch/1pm, and then the block after dinner. Though I'm thinking I might split that into two blocks too 🤔
Those are the blog posts over on Archer & Olive 😊 As part of the Ambassador Team, I make one every month 🤙 e.g. my latest one came out a couple of days ago: www.archerandolive.com/blogs/news/how-to-prioritize-your-tasks-with-the-prioritisation-matrix
Yeah I wanted to have the goal setting stuff separate so I didn’t feel restricted in how many pages I could take up, and also bet a bit more messy with it (I find that harder to do in my everyday journal 😝)
Your bujo setups are so clean and amaing ToT I don't think I currently should have a weekly spread (mainly because I'm in a gap year and barely have any deadlines and events), but damn, I wanna make one everytime I see a video where you have a weekly QwQ
i know this video was posted 11 months ago, but which tombow do you use specifically for the second line highlights, as it is difficult for me to find the colormatch with the codes provided from the pictures. Thanks!!
Thankfully 5 out of the last 6 videos have been under 15 minutes then 😊 I think it’s good to have length variety 👌 this one being more for people who prefer longer videos 💜
@@Beccabombom69That’s what O did 😊 I watched in 20 minute chunks. There was so much in this video and it was all interconnected, a short video wouldn’t show the nuances.

"Trial and iterate" - what a great quote.

First off all, LOVE these type of videos that show the daily use!
Sounds like a cool layout! Might try out something like it next fortnight 🤔
Love love love this video. Excited to hear more about how this style worked out for you as this second week comes to an end.
This new method you have is looking more simplistic/ minimalistic to me. I can't wait to see how you "Jashi" this new fortnightly journal
I appreciate your talking us through your daily planning process. What was most essential to me at the moment is your time blocking at the beginning of the day. I'm going to incorporate these blocks into my daily planning, too. Thank you for the inspiration!
Love the long video!! I also love seeing a different planning style 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! 😄💜
Hi Jashii. I have only just found your channel and you are fast becoming my favourite planner. Thanks for all your great ideas. X
Thanks Arial! 😄 Glad you've been enjoying the ideas 💜

Kind of like as a happened-but-not-here type thing, makes sense! Something to consider for future fortnights 🤔 thanks for the suggestion! 😄💜

Jess, what pen do you use for your journaling? It looks like a great own!
That one is the Paper Mate Ink Joy 😄 linked in the description 💪

I am definitely NOT ready for this... LOL I love this idea, but I am just starting my first journal.

990 for brown, N89 for warm grey 😊
Where did you get the Kraft color dot paper?? I neeeeeed!
That one is from Archer & Olive ( bit.ly/AONotepads ) but I'm not sure if they have any in stock at the moment 🤔
Do you cut the pages or are some of the pages already like that?
I cut the pages myself 😊💜
I’ve just noticed that you missed Jan 5 on your Weeks 1&2 layout, was that intentional or are my tired eyes playing tricks on me?

Roughly two hours, except the last one is just “after dinner” 😛
