  • Hi! I'm Aja Dang and this is how I plan and organize my life without crying. Sign up for Notion using my link: ntn.so/ajadangnotion - Trying to balance all the to-do's on a daily basis is really exhausting but here are the tools I use to schedule and plan my week: the DIY'd family white board, Notion, time batching and my MSTRPLN planner.
    It took me decades to figure out a system that works best for me but so far, I haven't had any work related mental breakdowns in a while! (sad flex lol).

    oh i looove TIME BATCHING instead of BLOCKING - new mama here so flexibility and consolidating the same mental wavelength of the same type of task all at the same time is key!

  • @ashuhhleycakes
    @ashuhhleycakes Před 3 lety +4

    I also struggle with time blocking! It’s too rigid for me and I feel like I lose out on ideas and creative thinking when trying to stay in one box. Time batching sounds like such a simple, straightforward idea but something I haven’t fully focused on - incorporating this week. You’re content always speaks to me Aja! ☺️

    This was really helpful Aja, especially as someone who creates different types of content for multiple platforms. A big issue for me as well is physical space. Making time to use my limited space for creating content because it always leaves a bit of a mess and I have to move furniture to get better lighting etc.

    The timing of this vid was excellent for me, I just started using Notion!! I've also tried time blocking but it hasn't stuck, time batching might be worthwhile for me to try out. :)
    PS: love the infomercial-eque intro. So much fun!

    • @AjaDang
      @AjaDang  Před 3 lety +2

      I feel like time blocking is for the highly motivated, super organized. I’m semi-motivated and almost organized so it was just too strict for me
