I feel cheated!! I thought you were doing 6 productivity tools each so was properly settled in, then realised it was 6 in total and it ended 🙄 🤣 😂 Guess i shouldn't make assumptions eh 😂 Great video and i have the 'Make Time' book too - agree with the recommendation 👍 ❤
I’ve also been using daily highlight (tho not with that name). It really does help me make sure I’m doing stuff of value each day, including get rest when I need it!
I think it's called 'eat the frog'? Where you pick the most daunting/dreaded thing, and you do that first. Everything else feels much easier after that, and you don't have it hanging over you like a storm cloud. Also, being able to text my partner that I've got a 'whole barrel of frogs to eat today' gives me a kick 😂
Oh man, I'm in the depths of my system designing! I have ADHD, so I'm desperately trying to figure out a plan /without/ impulse purchases. But man, seeing all the new, shiny, beautiful planners out there... But, I know what I'm doing for productivity stuff. Mostly. I use a half letter disc, so I can change the guts out whenever I want. Currently I need to figure out if I want a weekly with a few dailies sprinkled in, or a monthly overview with dailies... I plan the night before, but 95% of the time I look at it the next day and go "nah!" and do whatever I want. Luckily my life is at a point where I don't have TOO many responsibilities, so it works out. I am trying to nail it down before that time ends... ALSO, I bought Make Time on Jess' recommendation, and I can't wait to get into it!
I use task batching even for final edit of my documents at work and it does wonders, even though sometimes u get bored doing the same things over and over again, still very helpful in time saving
Alaistair log of the columns being the months, and the lines being the names of people with the year of the event. The combination point is a good place to put the date. Works great for births, deaths, and matches. And other things that are desired to be remembered every year for those months. like license renewal dates, and moving to a new place dates, and so on.
They haven't replied yet, but I will. MPs have changed my life. It's the primary tool I personally use to keep the clutter out of my mind and consistently offers insights that I wouldn't have otherwise. Glad they're working for you. 😀
Cool that morning pages worked so well for you! I haven't tried them myself, but I ~attempted~ to read The Artist's Way in August...didn't get all the way through, but morning pages stood out as a cool idea to trial at some point 🤔 - Jess

❤ thanks for sharing this with us all
I like to use task batching when I'm planning our dinner menu. I try to plan meals for the entire month, rather than just one week.

Hahah. Yea I’ve heard of that! And you need a funny saying to laugh especially when you have a barrel to go. -Mark

Yes! I get you. I get bored too but you are right, it just works -Mark
Daily mise from work clean! It has some overlap with some of the things you mentioned, and I wish more people knew about this book ❤
We'll have to check it out 👀 Thanks for the rec!
Lord and Saviour I totally laughed out loud at that one. I’m definitely in a cult
Hey 👋🏾 thanks for sharing. Can you put in chapters?
How do you all do birthdays? I have monthly, week at a glance, daily, future log AND now a perennial little notebook. HELP!!

I started morning pages away from my main life jumble journal. Really revolutionary. Any thoughts on those guys
