Regarding life with little ones: my first two babes were 15 months apart and many days were overwhelming. A very wise woman told me to ask myself every morning what absolutely HAD to be done that day. A lot of days it was just "keep the kids fed and clean and wash a load of diapers." Like you said - lower your expectations! And days when I did that bare minimum, I told myself it was a successful day.
This was SO HELPFUL. I've done time blocking before, but never with a monthly or weekly brain dump list. Also, I am one of those people who likes to cram as much as possible into each block. For some reason, hearing you say "we always think we can do a task quicker than we actually can" actually made me only block out one or two tasks for each time period. The first day doing this and it's the first time I felt productive and NOT overwhelmed. THANK YOU!!!
Wow can I just tell you how helpful this video has been! Watched it a few days ago and I started writing out a monthly to do list, especially all the big projects I think I'll do someday but never find time. I was already doing the block schedule before so I started to schedule half hour bits within that of work time to tackle those to dos (before my kids wake up,during baby's nap, when my husband gets home and one after they all go to sleep.) I've discovered 2 extra hours daily to get the "someday" stuff done! And when it's scheduled in for just half hour here and there it's a whole lot less overwhelming to tackle the small piece of a project rather than finding time to do the whole thing
Yes Kallie ! Master list, weekly calendar, and once weekly I had a sitter for three hours. That’s when I blasted through errands. No in and out of car seats, wasting time on car trips, etc. Your method eliminates most lists and sticky notes too. Brilliant !
As a stay at home mom with 4 kids I felt like I was always overwhelmed. The oldest was into sports. Every single available sport, he was there! The next was into music. Instruments, vocals, writing, etc. The younger boy was my "computer geek". My only daughter was into sports, beauty pageants, art, etc. I always felt like I never got anything done. My husband would come in from work and ask, "what did you do today?" And I rarely had an answer. To do lists made it feel even more overwhelming until I implemented my "Ta-da list". On those days when chaos reigned; ball practice, music lessons, cheer practice, I was a part time substitute teacher/aide, I kept the books for my husband's company, etc., I found that if I kept a list of all the little things I did during the day that weren't on my master to do list, (i.e. running to the store for a sick neighbor, helping the little girl next door braid her hair (she lived with her single dad who was clueless about her hair, etc) I had a better picture of how much I actually did during the day. I never realized how much I did. 5 minutes here, 15 minutes there add up.
This video has been so helpful! I’m a first time Mom of a 5 month old and also work part time away from the home. I haven’t had a chance to sit down and lay out my monthly or weekly master plans BUT even having a mind set of time blocking has helped me TREMENDOUSLY this week!!
I’m not sure how true or credible this is but I recently read that while making lists try not to have more than 7 or so things on it at a time. The theory behind it is it can feel overwhelming seeing each and every thing we have to do thus ultimately shutting down. And that has happened to me countless times. This helped me so hopefully it can help someone else too 🤓
I stumbled upon this video. And its like it was meant for me, I'm pretty unorganized and my life is a mess. Well anyways I didn't notice right away that this was on June 2, which is my birthday 😅 i think the universe is trying to tell me something
My first baby hated all baby carriers and was a high needs baby, I constantly had to hold her and could not even go to the bathroom😱 It was very hard and now I think I should have lowered my expectations for sure.
The things you said were very very very much on point. It's the way to do it you have to block things for times for things and even down time it's so true and when you do it that way you do feel more accomplished when you get some of that stuff done so point on point on I totally agree
This was great; thanks. "Lower your standards." Oh boy, absolutely. If they are little, or if they are in college and home. Since Covid-19, my time alone to get things done has disappeared. My husband is a college professor, so he and my 2 sons were/are home doing their college classes online. My entire normal work at home experience - toast. And yes, I absolutely remember the baby days. Expecting less of yourself, your household and asking for help is vital. And realize that, as Mom, you are the glue of the household. Glue doesn't get privacy and days off. **sigh** no.
this is the first time that time blocking has made sense for me!! i feel like the 830-900 always felt very stressful especially if i wrote it down and then it didnt happen at exactly that time
I love this video, my little girl is turning 4 this year and I have yet to get a schedule for productivity in order. I'm trying and your videos for decluttering, and being productive is so helpful. :)))
Thank you I am getting all kind of ideals. I need to get a few things. I will let you know how it works. You are such an encouragement and I really need that right now. May the Lord richly bless you
If 14:35 if you could make another video on any updates on your planning routine? This is a great video very informative I am going to try this method is kind of hard for me to organize but I have to this year
You intuitively explained the Keller Williams Realty “411” method (4 weeks- 1 month- 1 year is what it stands for). Do you mind if I share your video with my students in my lessons?
Didnt know it had a name ( time blocking) I've been doing it cause of my ocd 😂 I make lists. I have a notebook thats says Lists on it. I always do what I can, I have a disability and the rest will get done tomorrow. I enjoyed your explanation
Master running list Makes sure nothing falls through the cracks, prevent the feeling of overwhelm Time blocking- scheduling out the master list into my day Be realistic with your time blocks Life happens we get distracted Life is going to happen and you need to give yourself flexibility You want to set yourself up for success so that at the end of the day you feel accomplished and not defeated Put most important tasks in distraction free time blocks When things don’t go to plan Just reschedule for the next block/next two blocks/or tomorrow
Hi! Thanks for this wonderful concept. Just curious, what goes on in one notebook and the other? Can they be consolidated so we’re only using one? Thanks
I thrive on a schedule... however I have a new born a household a business and a small farm ... the newborn has thrown a wrench in the whole schedule thing 😂 but thanks I'm gonna give this a shot I LOVE PAPER it's kind of a weakness 😂😂
Awesome tips! Thank you so much. New subscriber here. Love your content 🙂 I’ve heard that instead of labeling “to do list” and swapping for “accomplished “ list puts a more of a positive spin in our brains 🧠 since we might get discouraged at looking at a long “to do” list. Have you tried or heard of this?
#AMWORKSESSION #question what are some of the early 5-8am work session tasks that you find move the need forward the most with your business? I see you’ve put editing and designing thumbnails but curious what else you do to move the needle most in your biz? Also what you’ve found to outsource or hire help for? Would love to hear other fellow mamas biz owners on what they do for their WFH biz when kiddos are sleeping still? 🫶🫶🤍🤍
If you ever feel resentment toward young children who get in the way of your getting things done, take a moment to think ahead to a time when your children might live hundreds or thousands of miles away and when you might only get to see them, at most, a few days a year. Cherish their childhood and never forget that their mental wellbeing is directly related to the amount of quality time and attention that they get from parents/guardians. Never feel guilty that you stopped in the middle of a work task to have a precious moment with your loved ones. On the other hand, you can be creative with combining work and childcare: I used to read history books and encyclopaedias to my boys to put them to sleep and they both developed exceptional vocabularies and had wonderful diction from an early age.
Wow. You are a bright and smart young woman. It’s a talent to be able to talk through your thoughts (and ours) the way you do. I’m a new fan! Your channel is unique and helpful. Good work!
“A body in motion, stays in motion” - What a fantastic concept! 👍 I have told myself this multiple times since you used this in previous videos. It makes a huge difference on the weekends. When I get up in the morning, I started one task, power to the next one, see something else that needs to get done and do it. As long as I don’t sit down on the couch, I can continue to build on the momentum for at least three hours. Once I sit down and turn on the tv, game over. The morning is always my most productive time period. When I decide to sit down, I can relax and do nothing for the rest of the day but I feel good as I accomplished what I wanted earlier in the day.
If I DO end up on the couch, I make sure to set a timer for 15 or 20 minutes. When it goes off, I have to get up and do something/anything. I get a lot done in little bites.
Another good tip to be productive when you don’t feel like it is to time your tasks. So if you dread having to vacuum, just get what you can done in 10 to 15 minutes then stop when the timer goes off. This is from the Flylady system. 👍
I'm 52 years old and have found the older I get, the harder it is for me to get things done. I want to thank you. You've helped so much. I just started this on 4/15/21. It's all ready changed my life. I feel like I've actually completed so many things in like 3 days. Two days I worked 9 hours.
Fellow lefty! My brain has tabs inside of tabs inside of tabs in my brain. I’ve always had a hard time finding anything that works the way my brain works. My “brain dumps” need to be categorized. 🙄
This was SO helpful! And I watch/read jillions of time and productivity things - because I have ADHD & the overwhelm can spiral very quickly! - but this is the MOST helpful video I’ve ever seen. I appreciate you.
@@CassieWinter ❤️ Well I'm sure they would be, if I may or may not have forgotten them 🥴 I took notes even, but things are deleted from my brain without my knowledge sometimes 😮 and I can't find which notebook I wrote my notes in. 😅 But it's kind of you to ask! I'm sure I'll find them soon!
@@ShePaints Haha. That's a normal experience, especially with ADHD. 😊 Here's a reminder to stick a post-it note to your monitor (and/or bathroom mirror) so you don't forget.
At the beginning of the video it looked almost like you had a different notebook and maybe a similar to the concept of the bullet journal. Can you make a video showing your “planner” in more complete detail? I like that you use just a regular notebook and I have thought about it before and bought on and then had NO idea where to go from there. I’m NOT creative so those type of videos help me SO much 😇🙌🏼🙏🏼
I don’t have children but I work from home, my boyfriend has an ever-changing schedule and travels for work, and I have two 50 pound dogs. Despite working from home, I feel less productive regarding my house chores than I did when I went into the office every day. This looks like a very promising idea. I appreciate you sharing these ideas so much! I feel like “take a shower” will be among the first things blocked in.
My house chores has fallen behind as well during this pandemic. I meal prep on the weekend, so I don’t have to work a lot in the kitchen during the week. I use the extra time do some of those house chores after work or on my breaks at work on the days I work from home. Has kept me sane.
I have seen tons of productivity videos and tips over the years. I have been searching for something that would work with kids for so long. This is the best productivity video ever! OMG! She gives examples, the idea itself is amazing. Also it’s so simple I don’t need to learn how to use an app or computer program.
Took me 3 days to actually watch this video, but my god so glad that I did! This was so helpful; way more than the 2 productivity courses I paid for and multiple books on the subject I've read. The way you explain it and perfected it to actually fit into your life is amazing, thank you so much for sharing! This could not have come at a better time for me, 'cause I have soooo much to do this summer.
This is amazing, finally a system which is not overly complicated and doesn't take hours to figure out how to even set it up! Thank you so much. I am wondering about one thing: since you write your master to do list by month and then go from there to make your weekly schedule, what do you do for the next week when you start making your plan for the next week, and many new to do's came up? Do you simply add them to your monthly master list, every time a new to do pops up?
Hi, could you do a step-by-step video of how you lay out your notebooks it would help a lot with organising my time as standard planners overwhelm me; and trying to do it myself just overwhelms me because it feels like I'm walking in blind. Please & Thank you :) Plus this video was very helpful
I’ve watched this video twice. What is in each notebook? Why not write it in one book? Do you not plan out the week, or just one day at a time? Also, do you not write anything on the left side of the page? Sorry for all the ADHD questions!
This might be silly, but I am setting up my notebooks now as I have felt very out of my routine since moving in August, Can you explain how you are utilizing the two notebooks? I know you have the master list, weekly, and daily portions but is one notebook solely for the daily time-blocking and the other for the master list and then the weekly lists after the months? I am overcomplicating this I am sure but I just thought I would ask. Thanks!!!
Maybe try the master list in one notebook and then the weekly and daily in another, so that when you're filling out your weekly list you can have the master list in front of you for reference, without having to flip back and forth as much each week.
Really appreciate this! I’ve been totally overwhelmed and need to get some structure. This is a perfect combo of organized but not overly complicated! Thank you!
@@thatpracticalmom Please please please, I've went through your vid's twice searching for a erasable note pad you talked about. Any chance you could send me the name of the company you get this notebook that can wipe away pages to reuse? Thanks so much 🙏
Great stuff!! You are effectively applying the Agile Project Management methodology. Master Running List = backlog. Time Blocking = iteration planning.
Love this! Key words, a "running list" lol feels like things are never done. It reminds me though how blessed I am to have what I have and do what I do.
Hey, i found you only a few days but I'm gonna call it... you're my favourite RUclipsr now! 🤗 i love your advice, your style of delivery, your personality. 👍👊
"A body in motion stays in motion." I guess high school physics can be practical! 😁 I'm not a mom yet but I'll file this video away for when I have kids!
I write my calendar by hand instead of typing on an electronic device because I remember things better if I actually write them down. I'm a new subscriber and have found your videos very helpful. Your ideas are great and you are charming. Cheers from the Pacific Northwest! ~catherine
I love this! Have you thought about trying bullet journaling? It helps me keeping track of my all the things I need to do and I also find it relaxing and therapeutic setting it up and filling it out.
Sitting here after writing all my reoccurring bills down and preparing to start my RUclips channel but I can’t seem to get off RUclips instead of being productive hahahha
You produce great videos! Love the tips. A tip to young moms: be easy on yourself! I wish I had worried less about being productive and enjoyed my young children more. Having said that, DO spend some of your valuable energy on teaching kids to help clean and work together as a family. With sports and extracurricular, it can seem easier to just do it yourself, but that’ll bite you later! Again, love your tips!
Kallie, I've only just recently discovered your channel and I love it ! I was wondering though : does your husband help around the house? It seems like you're the one who has to do all the chores...
Check out the Legend Planner Hourly Pro planner on Amazon. It’s basically this whole format laid out in a beautiful planner that helps you track everything! It’s been completely life changing for me!
it helps to create a master list of chores, budget, menu ideas and receipes, a fridge/ freezer pantry inventory, a quick daily to do twice a day for 20 minutes, a master monthly grocery and household to buy, a wish list, a holiday gift planner, a birthday chart by month- i did a bullet journal for that stuff..alexa gives a reminder for meds, a screen off alarm, and a to do list with to buy. i also have an alphabetical file of paperwork. i love your stuff!!! keep it coming sweetie. u go girl. i would speak a little slower for us taking notes- but it's okay i can slow ur speed. u have a sweet little family- and ur realistic.
Regarding life with little ones: my first two babes were 15 months apart and many days were overwhelming. A very wise woman told me to ask myself every morning what absolutely HAD to be done that day. A lot of days it was just "keep the kids fed and clean and wash a load of diapers." Like you said - lower your expectations! And days when I did that bare minimum, I told myself it was a successful day.
So true- I have days like that, too.
Good advice. I just found out i'm pregant and I have a 9 month old !
@@Rosiecat677 that is such a wonderful gift to your children.
@@Rosiecat677 congratulations hope it all goes well!!
Thank you for this ❤️

I love love love this. It’s not complicated! There’s no fancy ass planner or hard to remember system. This is what I needed
That was my thought too! Just a simple plan.

Watched it a few days ago and I started writing out a monthly to do list, especially all the big projects I think I'll do someday but never find time.

I use similar tactics to keep myself sane. Jordan Page from Fun Cheap or Free has some fantastic videos about the Block Schedule.
Oh gonna check them out
As a stay at home mom with 4 kids I felt like I was always overwhelmed. The oldest was into sports. Every single available sport, he was there! The next was into music. Instruments, vocals, writing, etc. The younger boy was my "computer geek". My only daughter was into sports, beauty pageants, art, etc. I always felt like I never got anything done. My husband would come in from work and ask, "what did you do today?" And I rarely had an answer. To do lists made it feel even more overwhelming until I implemented my "Ta-da list". On those days when chaos reigned; ball practice, music lessons, cheer practice, I was a part time substitute teacher/aide, I kept the books for my husband's company, etc., I found that if I kept a list of all the little things I did during the day that weren't on my master to do list, (i.e. running to the store for a sick neighbor, helping the little girl next door braid her hair (she lived with her single dad who was clueless about her hair, etc) I had a better picture of how much I actually did during the day.

I would love to see specifically work from home tips as a lot of us are facing that including me.

I really appreciate your tips and hacks.

Schedule gaming and scanning receipts!
AM a college student /dog mom to 1yrar old pup with lots of energy. Plus I work too. Let’s see if this helps!
Thanks for the video. What do you think of the FlyLady cleaning system?
Nice! And yes I’m drinking coffee watching but first coffee!
Master running list
Makes sure nothing falls through the cracks, prevent the feeling of overwhelm
Time blocking- scheduling out the master list into my day
Be realistic with your time blocks
Life happens we get distracted
Life is going to happen and you need to give yourself flexibility
You want to set yourself up for success so that at the end of the day you feel accomplished and not defeated
Put most important tasks in distraction free time blocks
When things don’t go to plan Just reschedule for the next block/next two blocks/or tomorrow

She gives examples, the idea itself is amazing. Also it’s so simple I don’t need to learn how to use an app or computer program.
Love the channel - maybe think about ideas for Meal Deals for people on a Budget? Wishing you the best
Julia Pacheco has tons of great videos for you, also frugal fit mom has great content too. Best of luck :)
Took me 3 days to actually watch this video, but my god so glad that I did! This was so helpful; way more than the 2 productivity courses I paid for and multiple books on the subject I've read. The way you explain it and perfected it to actually fit into your life is amazing, thank you so much for sharing! This could not have come at a better time for me, 'cause I have soooo much to do this summer.
Omg this is amazing I’m SO GLAD
This is amazing, finally a system which is not overly complicated and doesn't take hours to figure out how to even set it up! Thank you so much. I am wondering about one thing: since you write your master to do list by month and then go from there to make your weekly schedule, what do you do for the next week when you start making your plan for the next week, and many new to do's came up? Do you simply add them to your monthly master list, every time a new to do pops up?
Hi, could you do a step-by-step video of how you lay out your notebooks it would help a lot with organising my time as standard planners overwhelm me; and trying to do it myself just overwhelms me because it feels like I'm walking in blind. Please & Thank you :)
Plus this video was very helpful
I’ve watched this video twice. What is in each notebook? Why not write it in one book? Do you not plan out the week, or just one day at a time? Also, do you not write anything on the left side of the page? Sorry for all the ADHD questions!
Can you please provide a link to where you got the hanging baskets you keep your notebooks in. I love them!
Why not try the office supply store or go on line to one and order it. I hope you don't mind I said this for I am going to do it
This might be silly, but I am setting up my notebooks now as I have felt very out of my routine since moving in August, Can you explain how you are utilizing the two notebooks? I know you have the master list, weekly, and daily portions but is one notebook solely for the daily time-blocking and the other for the master list and then the weekly lists after the months? I am overcomplicating this I am sure but I just thought I would ask. Thanks!!!
Maybe try the master list in one notebook and then the weekly and daily in another, so that when you're filling out your weekly list you can have the master list in front of you for reference, without having to flip back and forth as much each week.
And then just put your daily blocks between each week. I hope this tip helps.
Really appreciate this! I’ve been totally overwhelmed and need to get some structure. This is a perfect combo of organized but not overly complicated! Thank you!
YAY! I'm SO glad!

Please please please, I've went through your vid's twice searching for a erasable note pad you talked about. Any chance you could send me the name of the company you get this notebook that can wipe away pages to reuse?
Thanks so much 🙏
@@mialeitch1789 thinking it is the rocket book. You can grab an Amazon for like 25 for the notebook size.
Great stuff!! You are effectively applying the Agile Project Management methodology. Master Running List = backlog. Time Blocking = iteration planning.
Love this! Key words, a "running list" lol feels like things are never done. It reminds me though how blessed I am to have what I have and do what I do.
Hey, i found you only a few days but I'm gonna call it... you're my favourite RUclipsr now! 🤗 i love your advice, your style of delivery, your personality. 👍👊
Indeed!!
I love when you said close the tabs out in your brain. This is a pullover I made lol.
"A body in motion stays in motion." I guess high school physics can be practical! 😁 I'm not a mom yet but I'll file this video away for when I have kids!
I'm a young adult with ADHD and your time organising is the first I've seen that appeals to me and looks achievable and helpful!!
Love the simplicity of a spiral notebook. No fluff. Thanks for the tips.
I write my calendar by hand instead of typing on an electronic device because I remember things better if I actually write them down.
I'm a new subscriber and have found your videos very helpful. Your ideas are great and you are charming.
Cheers from the Pacific Northwest! ~catherine
so it wasn't clear for me, 2 notebooks- one for the monthly and one for the weekly tasks?
1 year later… ⏰??
I love this! Have you thought about trying bullet journaling? It helps me keeping track of my all the things I need to do and I also find it relaxing and therapeutic setting it up and filling it out.
Sitting here after writing all my reoccurring bills down and preparing to start my RUclips channel but I can’t seem to get off RUclips instead of being productive hahahha
You produce great videos! Love the tips. A tip to young moms: be easy on yourself! I wish I had worried less about being productive and enjoyed my young children more. Having said that, DO spend some of your valuable energy on teaching kids to help clean and work together as a family. With sports and extracurricular, it can seem easier to just do it yourself, but that’ll bite you later! Again, love your tips!
Kallie, I've only just recently discovered your channel and I love it ! I was wondering though : does your husband help around the house? It seems like you're the one who has to do all the chores...
Check out the Legend Planner Hourly Pro planner on Amazon. It’s basically this whole format laid out in a beautiful planner that helps you track everything! It’s been completely life changing for me!
Kallie this is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much for listening to our requests! You rock!!!! 😎
YOU'RE WELCOME!
The Q & A at the end was very helpful. Was literally wondering each of those
OH GOOD! I'm glad I included it! yay!
it helps to create a master list of chores, budget, menu ideas and receipes, a fridge/ freezer pantry inventory, a quick daily to do twice a day for 20 minutes, a master monthly grocery and household to buy, a wish list, a holiday gift planner, a birthday chart by month- i did a bullet journal for that stuff..alexa gives a reminder for meds, a screen off alarm, and a to do list with to buy. i also have an alphabetical file of paperwork. i love your stuff!!! keep it coming sweetie. u go girl. i would speak a little slower for us taking notes- but it's okay i can slow ur speed. u have a sweet little family- and ur realistic.
These productivity hacks are just what I needed! 💫 Keep rising to be who you want to be! 💫 #keeprising #risingtobe #aswerise #riser #irise
"closing the open tabs in your brain"
Yes Kallie! Luv it. 💞
This inspires me, I barely get anything done in a day but I'm working on it already, your tips are nice ♥
Did you just say, “cathartic?”
Love it!
You’re awesome.
