    Great video. I’ve recently started bullet journaling. I’ve struggled with effectively using planners and journals my entire career. Bullet journaling has helped change that. Now I want to start setting goals and journaling my progress on reaching those goals. I believe the full focus planner would help me in the next step of my quest for a higher level of productivity.

    Yet again, another great video!
    I like the idea of the Full Focus Planner, ESPECIALLY the workday shutdown. I have a 22mo old son and a 3mo old daughter who deserve a lot more attention than I've allowed myself to give. Working from home, even before it was "mandatory", I find myself picking up "one more thing" before closing out my workday - only to return back to the home office once everyone has gone to sleep, to get a jump start on the next day. So my goal this summer is to finally organize my priorities (two kids under two, wife, work, and studying for an IT certification for my professional development).
    Long winded, sorry - but all all that aside, found your channel a little before my fist kid was born and your videos have definitely helped me realign the chaotic way that I organize my day, so THANKS! I appreciate the passion you put into your content and to helping all of us here!

    Really interesting approach Matt. My summer goal is survive...
    ...Just kidding (though a little bit serious). Really it is to take my sketchnote courses to the next level.
    They started off as a way to share the resources I had been delivering for the teachers in my school but with more people. I kept dabbling at them when I had a free moment with a "someday maybe" idea of making a video course.
    Well, over the Christmas break my wife went to her folks and I plowed through recording all the videos I could in the couple of days I had free. I got them done, edited and sheepishly put them out into the world! I've had some positive comments and so it has really encouraged me to peruse some of the other ideas I've had for materials.
    The only issue is time.
    Juggling a full-time job (and my wife is too), with a kid who can no long go to nursery, some further education and not to mention everything COVID... it's not an easy time.

    Man, this is still one I'm struggling to understand. I know simply trying it out will help, but I just keep thinking to myself (with whoever I watch show how they jump back and forth from analog to digital), "why not just use one or the other?" I guess the answer is because digital is distracting and more precarious than analog. But then I guess, why use digital at all? I understand it's nice to be able to collaborate with others if your work does that, but it seems like having a little white board to carry around would be better than a phone with Notion. IDK. Not a comment on you Matt, just where I'm at lol. Keep it up and maybe someone down below has some examples. Best.

    • @MattRagland
      @MattRagland  Год назад +1
