    Stephanie thank you so much for doing this! I have been feeling so disorganized and scattered in my daily schedule. This video is SO helpful!

    I have watched this video multiple times - to process. You did a great job walking through both the process and the why behind it. When I have tried making my "ideal" week I started with nonnegotiable (morning routine, food, shower, work out etc) and then put in the day specific things (laundry, food shopping, meal prep, etc.) it's the time that I had left over and nothing "scheduled" that overwhelmed me. Evidently I always find something to fill up those blocks of time.... but makes me wonder if I could be using that time more productively/ in a more structured way..

    • @squairdplans
      @squairdplans  Před 4 lety +1

      Definitely! I hope the process leads you to a more productive day. 😁👍🏼

    This video came at the right time! I was just about to sit down and figure out what I could do or change to be more productive! I’m thinking of trying the block schedule and setting up specific blocks for different seasons in my life because my days are different when I’m teaching and when I’m on summer break.

    • @squairdplans
      @squairdplans  Před 4 lety +3

    • @wannaduckfin
      @wannaduckfin Před 4 lety +1

      As a retired teacher I can vouch for how important our schedules/lesson plans are. As a resource room teacher I generally hand with in each half hour for different groups to schedule and rotate. I was totally dependent on a timer. But it was really great training for life

  • @suziehall8063
    @suziehall8063 Před 4 lety +4

    THIS HAS GIVEN ME LIFE!!! I just looked at ordering vertical times sheets to be more productive. I had been using the dashboard layout and I just felt it was all over the place. I found myself forgetting to do things because it was not as structured as I needed it to be. Loving the morning routine. (Thank you for sharing again). I feel with this video (will watch a couple more times) I will finally have planner peace. I will be ordering your vertical sheet this week! You are amazing!!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!

    Love your productivity tips! I'm essentially a productivity/functional planner first and foremost. But I also have a strong creative streak that I'm only now getting back in touch with after putting my creativity aside for many years because life got in the way. So I struggled at first to find a happy medium to not do only one type of planning or the other and have been able to find my decorative planner style. I'm not fully there yet but getting there so your videos have helped me since I found your channel earlier this year. So thanks for your love of sharing & teaching!

    • @squairdplans
