Hey Guys! Today's video is on timeblocking in your planner. This is my absolute FAVORITE way to plan. It has transformed my productivity and I have done a couple of videos on how I timeblock in my planner but I thought of some additional tips that I use and I wanted to share.
I like how you said that sometimes we are too hard on ourselves and not being kind to ourselves too. A good reminder to give ourselves buffer and accept that sometimes, we have to plan as we go along! :')
Thank you! Your videos are always so informative. 1) I am obsessed with your handwriting. It is so neat. Mine looks like a 12-year-old. 2) Time blocking is something I had heard of, this video helped me really understand how I could actually use the skill. 3) You make me wish I had more things to schedule and plan! I look forward to more videos.
You live in the real world! This was so realistic and practical, I will try time blocking. Some of the other videos on time blocking has given me the feeling of tutorials on how to totally stress yourself out! Thank you so much.
I love the overflow day idea! I schedule every minute and it's exhausting. I'll implement the buffer and rest times in also and see how next week goes. Tfs these useful ideas 💜
Thank you! You're the only one who explained what it is as I didn't know the meaning. Almost all the others jumped straight to the benefits and didn't explain what it is.
Just a tip - can you have brighter lighting and a closer up view of the planner? It would help to really visualize all of this, as we see exactly how much time you give on specific things.
This is so helpful! Thank you! I bought an hourly planner so that I could be more detailed about the days once school starts. My kids' school is doing a hybrid in-school/remote learning set up in the fall and with that I'm going to have to stay on top of two kids' schedules. I'm hoping this time blocking will work!
I love how you explain your planner setup. I finally understand how to set up my planner. I was getting overwhelmed and wanted to quit. All the different set ups were to much for me. I am a simple planner, I do love stickers. I am a multiple planner person I do know that. Thank you for the inspiration again.
Thank you for sharing this. I used to time block all the time and got away from it in favor of lists. This makes me think I should try it again. Maybe it would help in my productivity.
I am truly thankful for your channel, your videos are direct and to the point. One of the main reason I watch you daily lol also I have made some great changes following your suggestions..
So very helpful. Especially the parts about using one color pen (add color later) and revising. I have a dark grey pen I plan to use because I like the softer color. My planner helps to lessen my anxiety but it also can add to it. LOL. It truly is about perspective. Thank you!
I love these tips! I just got my Passion Planner in the mail on Wednesday but I've been using the printable one from July 12 until Wednesday. And back planned in my PP. What works for me is using the hours as I go through my day because if something I'm doing takes longer than I expected, then I can draw a line to show how many hours I did things for. I'm glad I found something that works for me! I've struggled with Hourly planners for so long because I assumed I had to schedule everything in it right away for every week before I actually got things done. I LOVE watching how you plan, Alaina! One day, I hope to be able to do it like you.
Hi I just got my new Passion Planner too! I use markers to colour code each half hour block showing what u did. Ie did I spend it doing work, projects, going out, family time, or rest. As I build my week I can see by colour what I should devote my time to next.
@@kjw79 I like functional planning. Basically just some pens and a sometimes a yellow highlighter. That's it. But I love a mix of décor and function in my Happy Planners.
Thanks for some great tips. I tend to do a Things to Do list everyday and one can get carried away. This time blocking is great. I’m definitely going to try this method.
I’ve been binge watching your multiple planner videos and I love it! Definitely going to do it. I’m someone I need to compartmentalize everything lol. It’s the only way I can stay organized and sane. I tried timeblocking but didn’t understand. This video helped thank you! I noticed on July 9 it’s said “My Birthday”. That’s my birthday too! Just turned 25 😁
Love this video! Hope I’ll be able to implement your tips. Need to allocate better my time so i can make space for rest and personal priorities. I always get frustrated in the revise portion. I tend to plan daily, but need a better overview of my week. I don’t know if you have considered this, but would love a vlog of your work day or something
Thank you for the video. I started time blocking last year but have strayed away from it as well. I'm trying to get back to time blocking now. I noticed that in your calendar that you had noted 'MY BIRTHDAY' on July 9th? Happy belated birthday!!!
I was looking into this for work. I have so many tasks I have to complete in a day and sometimes I get stuck on one instead of moving on. But I also have to be flexible as well.
Best video ever ! So hopefully I can say I’m kinda like you where I have a big calendar and I’ll write things like work 😒 to do : clean & nothing ever gets done , I have a question where did you get t stickers from ?
Hey I am trying to find a good planner that works for me! I am a full time student and want to start time blocking. This kind you are using looks perfect for me--what is the name of the planner you are using here? Thanks!
I love your content. I feel really inspired and that this particular layout is what I've been looking for. Do you use inserts for your templates or did they come with your planner? I'm struggling to navigate your links a bit haha
Great tips!! Flow day is a great idea!! What kind of happy planner layout do you have? And the middle insert with the days? Thanks for the information!!
Question: What is your pen's name? InkJoy -? I wanted to get the same ones as you but I feel like the ones I ordered are thicker? If that makes sense? I have the Ink Joy 1.0 M . I want to order the right ones. Thanks Alaina!
i love timeblocking ! especially since i've been workign from home. i set up my little schedule to work on certain projects and now feel super overwhelmed.

Where did you get that from?
Where did you buy the planner ?
I think her voice is what calming us
Thank you for this!!! I was the queen of getting planners and never using them but not anymore!!! Your page has helped me so much already

Totally off topic, but you have beautiful hands!💕 Love a block schedule!
Great tip about the overflow and content consuming day...thank you!

Thanks for this. I keep trying and failing in Time blocking! I will try this method!
Love the content and clear presentation of this video. You have a really nice voice.
I really this technique. I do this on my outlook especially at work to get things done. If it's not on my calendar then it is not happening.
I was looking into this for work. I have so many tasks I have to complete in a day and sometimes I get stuck on one instead of moving on. But I also have to be flexible as well.
Me too!!!
Like meal preperation and then having that meal

Hey! It’s the hourly happy planner
The insert is the daily schedule insert and it’s also from Happy Planner

@@TheOrganizedMoney thank you, Alaina!
Where do I get the planner with the rings that allows u to the two papers out and than put them after done?
Do you know where I can find an hourly planner set up for a HP classic?
Hey! The new ones will come out around October from Happy Planner. They only come out around the end of the year
@@TheOrganizedMoney thank you.
what planner is this? I want to buy it and i feel like i clicked on a lot of the links but cant find it
This is a happy planner. You can find it on their website happyplanner.com
I'm curious how far in advance you plan your day. Do you time block a month in advance?
Great tips!
When I put timeframe for my todo list.. i realize that i do not have enough time to get all of the tasks done!
I see got a tattoo on that last week....care to share what u got?
Where do I buy that book u have?
Will need this badly because I need to stop wasting precious time
I had to go from hourly to color block planner. I get too overwhelmed with the hours.
Nice
i love timeblocking ! especially since i've been workign from home. i set up my little schedule to work on certain projects and now feel super overwhelmed.
sza
After kids you can throw all that out the window lmao Great concept tho
