Love that you still include how to follow this system using even just a $1 notebook! 🤗
Agreed!
I just actually had a mental breakdown looking around my house at 2am and trying to figure out what to do with everything, timing, appointments, staying out of my own head, and life itself. It's a lot!!
It helps knowing that I am not the only one crying over here trying to figure out how to get things done
@user-de2dc3fr1b oh honey you're definitely not the only 1, but the fact we're admitting it is a step in the right direction..at least that's what I try and convince myself.
Same here I feel like a crazy person everyday. I want to be better, but just can't get it together 😕
sounds good question is how long can I keep it up?
2 in the morning? Overwhelmed? We should call each other and be overwhelmed together! Seriously, I understand. One step at a time, one pile at a time friend. And sometimes walk away for a bit and just breathe. I hope things get better.
As someone with an anxiety disorder, I do this for each day but I also add in brackets the approximate amount of time it will take me to do that task and add a total time for tasks for that day, so tasks don’t seem never-ending. As I complete tasks, I take that time off my total time so I can visually see it reducing. If I’m tired and unmotivated I look at it and think “well I’ve only got 20 minutes of tasks until I’m done for today so I can do it”. It’s really helped me feel less overwhelmed and makes me less likely to freak out and avoid being productive
are you pretty good at knowjng how ling things take- i have adhd, and things take 2-3x longer than i guess, and i never rember to end the timer at the end of a task if i am trying to figure it out. if anyone has tips for this beyond just giving a generous amount of time and multiplying by 2 lwt me know
thankyou for sharing this, this is a good idea & one i fully intend to try.
@@twinklestar4664I can usually get away with adding half of the original time estimate, but doubling it gives me a buffer between tasks to just relax.
I will try this, because I have also an anxiety disorder and feel overwhelmed pretty easily. thank you. 😊
my favorite planner is my fridge: I use a dry-eraser pen to write what I need to do for that day ! I cannot miss it and I think it's ugly, so I do them quickly 😆 plus no waste of paper 👍
That’s genius! Make your list ugly and in your face to get stuff done to make it disappear 😂
Can I just say you have stunning hand writing
I am the biggest procrastinator you will ever meet! Maybe if I start using a planner, I will actually get stuff done! 😅
I have always done brain dumping. It is the best thing I even make a vision board with sections of my house. I need to do the order I need to do it in. And I put deadlines on them because for me if it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.lol I invented my own planner and I take out pages and tac them on it I just went on the computer made them and printed them out and did it the way it would work best for me all the ones I have tried to buy did not work for how I work. So just go on the computer and print it out. I think it is nice though you have these books for people to buy great idea for income. The past 2 months I have deep cleaned and re organized my whole house and my husband told me to grab the video camra and record all of it so I did he is trying to talk me into posting it. Great job mama❤ I have 4 kids it is defenitly all full time job!!
When I worked in an office I ALWAYS spent the last 10mins of the day writing a list for the next day. It was a powerful tool as I would walk in the next day and grab the list and know exactly what tasks were a priority!
I love that you broke the second day into less specific time chunks. Any time I've tried to schedule out my day, I get hung up on staying on schedule and hit mental roadblocks when I'm behind the arbitrary schedule I've set for myself. I think this is going to help my productivity a lot. ❤️
Sounds like a simplified version of the Getting Things Done Method coupled with time blocking. Nice. And if you recall in the movie, Jack tried to join Rose, but they began to sink, so he got back down in the water.
I feel like the way you explained this was what I ALREADY KNEW, but my life has become so out of control and hectic absolute chaos that I really needed to hear every syllable you spoke, so thank you for keeping it simple for me, congratulations on creating your planner, thank you for explaining how you did this in your 1$ notebook because Im on a fixed income right now and it's about to be my oldest birthday and Christmas so basically I'm broke for the next 3 months. I just really needed this clarity right now so thank you for sharing your brilliance with the world, you are truly appreciated on today when I'm juggling my autistic son, business matters, trying to heat my house with space heaters and sealing windows and doors and just trying to do laundry and Lord willing, be able to shower! Thank you again XoXoX
You are young yet very wise…and funny…and I appreciate you! Thank you !
Went to look at the pre-order and it says Sold Out!...Wow...Congratulations!!! That is so awesome!
The start of the video I was like, yeah I kind of do that, that's how most planning stuff works, but then. Daily spread page, Boom! You have literally blown my mind, to have that in a planner like that.
I've been making daily to do lists on scrap paper for years, to organise my work tasks and meetings, but having it in a planner along with all my personal stuff (and the kids, the housework, the errands etc etc) - SOLD. What a simple but powerful concept.
Also the amount of space you've provided for each thing, and being an undated planner - so smart. This is the first of your videos I've ever watched (came here from the Awkward Mom fyi) and I'm so grateful as I have hit paydirt on Nov 4!
So true! Just start doing and the motivation will kick in. Kind of like the saying goes, " if you want something done, just ask a busy person to do it"....
I love the sectioned columns for all our roles throughout the day! That gives visibility and accountability that each role gets the attention, how cool - thanks Kally!! 🎉🎉❤❤
I got my new planner for 2024 and it really helps to have my monthly tasks/goals, weekly tasks/goals and then every morning choose what gets done that day. It keeps me on track and allows for weird days (which are really quite common)
Love your content… my question is, when do you get a break? It’s great to be more organized or prioritize your time. But when do you get breaks? I always feel in a fog and I am working on my health but there are days I can’t function well. Trying to teach myself some self care so I can continue to pour into my family.
I do something similar, but using my phone’s calendar. That way it’s super easy to reschedule/move the task if I didn’t get to it.
Ok I needed this bad!!!! This will be one of my selfcare purchases. ❤️I buy a different planner every year 😢 trying to find the best one... I can't wait to try this one !!
Preordered 🙌🏻 Can’t wait!
I have soo many notebooks and planners and this is by far the most logical format. You’ve inspired me and although I am very tempted to buy I really don’t need a new planner, I will use 1 of many I already have 😅
Thank you for being an inspiration!! ❤
Love this🎉 congratulations 🎉
Really like the layout of your planner. Similar to what I do in my notebook as well. It’s always been a more effective method for me than typical planners.
I cannot wait for your planner to arrive!! Thanks for the motivation! ❤️
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!! Just subscribed. thank you 🙏
there was enough space for two! agreed
Looking forward to it coming back in stock
I have been using this planner for 6 weeks, and it really has made me more productive. I like scheduling tasks into specific times of the day based on what’s on the schedule for that particular day, rather than just a general To Do list for the day. It makes me more realistic with what I can and can’t get done on any given day and has helped me feel less defeated by all that I did not accomplish. I have peace of mind knowing that the brain dump list can grow but won’t get lost like when I used to jot down notes on a piece of paper or sticky note. I’ve converted a section to be my meal planning area for the week, which then aids in forming my weekly grocery list. The fact that the planner is spiral bound means it can stay open on my kitchen counter without taking up lots of room and actually stays open to the page I want. All in all, I am very pleased with my investment in this planner. Great job, Kallie!
love that you block out your day that way. seems pretty simple and easy to do 😊
I tried to put my email in for notification and it said it was invalid. I was going to buy 2. Thought you might want to know..... Congratulations on tie successful product! We love seeing you succeed! ❤️
Love this walk thru of your scheduling approach, new planner and biz life as a mom! High fives and thanks for sharing!
Congrats on your first planner!
Love for scheduling holiday cooking too🥧🍗🥣🥤🍽
Life changing video - thank you ❤
I really appreciated the story, I would love to hear more of your journey. Your awesome!
Wow! this planner is VERY thought out and I wish I had seen this video earlier to grab it, I did sign up to be notified for when you have more in stock.
As a new mom I literally have not been able to stick to a schedule and stay on top of things or how to pick up and this planner couldn’t have been put together by anyone but you! So excited to get one as soon as they are back in stock. 😊 BUT in the meantime thank you for sharing how we can do this with $1 notebooks, so I will do this while waiting 🤗
Congrats on ur new product! 🎉🎉❤❤
I love this video!!! I am getting your planner.
I love the mental dumping concept. I do this on my days off, just write everything down that need to be done in general. So helpful to clear my mind. But I know it's too much to do in one day, so love the second part to get a plan of attack.
Unfortunately I went on my computer tonight to buy this and Norton said that it's a malicious website. Apparently you don't have the security that you need. 🔒 If you get that fixed I'll be glad to purchase it.
Just placed my order! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your organizing method and new planner.
I love your planner layout, and especially your explanation of how you block your time.
This is a great way to schedule. I do like the simplicity & style of your planner and everyone can make it their own. Very informative. TY
What a good point to make about motivation. That describes my experience very well. Thank you.
I’ve been following you since you 1st started your successful journey. ❤ Just ordered the planner! Thank you!
Your planner is brilliant. Congratulations 🎉
So excited to get mine! I jumped on the preorder and have already checked back to see when the expected arrival is. Lol
"Not a valid email" when asking to be notified when planner is on stock. Just subscribed, great stuff. I'm 81 and still need all the inspiration I can get!
I like the pen holder on the front of the planner 🙂❤️🙏🏼✝️🙌🏼🎉❤️
Congrats! I've been watching since the pandemic. You've come a long way! I enjoy watching and trying out your hacks! According to James Cameron, there was room for Jack, but then both of them would have been in the freezing water.
I have tried literally every planner but I think this is the one that's gunna work for me 😃 Thanks!
GREAT information, thank you!
Thanks! Great video! Very helpful!
Awesome video thank you! You have excellent ideas. Thank you for sharing 😊.
I have a 3 week old and i like how you do the wake and nap segment !!
One famous man once said he had a lot to do, but the first thing on his list was sleep. When we lack sleep no amount of planning will help us.
I do the same!!! First brain dumb and then schedule. I have the feeling without my list I don't do anything done but at the same time I don't get frustrated anymore when I don't manage to do everything because I know I will push it into next day or week and it will be done.❤ But because I like not to have clutter, I tear the pages from the previous week before adding the unfinished tasks in the next new week which why spiral binder like yours is great .
Great idea! When I saw the Month at a Glance page, my brain went to the actual month on the calendar so I could see the big picture. I think I will try it out that way. Thanks again! I love your videos!!
I need this but my daughters with children. (One has twin babies)who are employed full time need it more!! Thank you so much. I am going to order your planners. ❤
I pre-ordered mine! I like the open concept of this planner
wow love this! lmao at the wake/nap/wake/nap life. i think this would really help with decision fatigue!
Wish I saw you were coming out with a planner before I had just ordered a new one! But still helpful advice on how to use it!
Congratulations on creating your first planner! I love the concept and layout. I was thinking how I need a good planner for next year. I'm going to pre-order. So excited to try it out
Hi Callie! Lovely video with great tips! Please make a cheaper version of the planner for us too!
She also referenced her $1 notebook option. Hoping that alternative works for you. 🙂
Callie, you are a bright spot in my day! Your just perky enough, but not too perky style is So Appreciated!!!
The "Clean Sink" and "5 Minute Cleans" have made Such a Difference and I can't wait to take this next step!!!
THANK YOU for including your method in a $1 notebook! No paywall for greater effectiveness AND more Peace of Mind!
Karma loves you and So Do I❣️
I’m a digital planning gal. I tend to write things down in multiple spots and not remember where I put things. but this has me intrigued!
Thanks. The blocks idea is was useful, as was the schedule time to schedule
Got the preorder. Thank you!!
I love written lists that I can cross off what I do. Do you teach a masterclass? I saw your IG for your planner! Congratulations! I'm trying to kick off a craft business as a side hustlle, (jewelry and home/seasonal decor).along with working Mon-Thurs and taking care of a 4 year old grandchild. My biggest problem is having time to get the time to do my side hustle. .
Loved the video!! 👏🏻👏🏻 Loved the method!
Just ordered my planner!
Your videos really motivate me ❤
Really hope I can buy this planner in the UK. It looks beautiful and brilliant. In the meantime I can start in a cheap notebook. Thank you for sharing this. Xx
Thank you so much !😊
Personally, I live at least as much off of routines and repeating tasks than I do off scheduled events. I don't execute even daily tasks very well unless I can check them off, but writing them repeatedly would be a time consuming chore. I like a digital app for repeating tasks, connected to a calendar for appointments. If I want to plan out a project or goal, for that I do like a notebook. Just where I am at this point in time.
Omg I know I could just use a notebook but I probably won’t and I probably won’t even stick to this either but I love it and I need it so I preordered 😅 🎉I appreciate all that you do!!
Thank you for making an undated planner. I keep trying to adopt different methods to bring order to my life. It is good to know i can pick up this method or put it down as needed
i actually have been doing the braindump part of this method for a while using the notes app on my phone. I made a poor attempt at scheduling using the Reminders app but it will not be as visual as the weekly spread and timeblocking.
looking forward to trying the planner.
The Notes app is a great tool for capturing things that just come into your head, I use the Reminders app to capture things with the help of Siri, when I can't use my hands like when I'm driving. I hope you can find a method that works for you!
Congratulations 🎉
This is sooo good!! 🙌
I see that you’re a lefty… and therefore, in your right mind!
Congratulations!!
I’ve been using a spiral notebook for planning for about 3 years. I ordered your planner because I like the flexibility of it and having some pre-printed sectioning to make it a little more structured than my notebook and “ready to go” for the week. Thanks! I think you will do well with your planner! Simple, yet flexible and lots of space to write. Question - is the pen holder included or if not, can you provide a link for that?
Order placed❣❣❣
I was hoping you had a hyperlinked digital pdf format of your planner. I use digital planners, notebooks dont seem to work for me cuz I forget everything and use my phone/tablet to plan my days
I love a month view.
One day at at time- but since I work - I need to see what my month looks like with appointments/ kids off school - and then I have 4 personal days
I have to see the whole month so I don’t overwhelm a weekend for example - when I could spread things out more evenly
Similar to your 8 week Christmas 🎄 blocking ;) I enjoyed your part of that series too BTW
Just because i know this.... i always said there was room on the door for Jack! Spielberg actually did tests on doors to see if it would hold both and it didn't. The door couldn't support both. Lol
Nice!!
I am not sure if it's a righty/lefty thing, but I had the same system in my notebook, just flipped to the other side :)
Hey Kallie, I pre ordered a planner and wondering if by any chance will they be mailed before the new year? If possible would like to start the new year on an organized note 😝 Can’t wait to receive!
I’m a night owl with ADHD and I’ve found that the brain dumping in the evenings is really helpful. It’s when my brain is most active so I’m more likely to remember everything I need to do. It also helps me sleep easier, because I don’t have to worry about forgetting tasks the next morning.
I decided to order your planner. It’s a bit pricey, but I have been looking for a sensible no frills approach, and every planner I have looked at just had way too much stuff in it. So, hopefully it will improve my work / life organization. Could I have used the notebook. Yes. But right now I just don’t seem to have the bandwidth to create that structure. BTW, I think it was you I heard the tidy kitchen sink at night, and I started doing it quite some time back. It is really nice getting up to a tidy kitchen with a shiny sink, and I live alone with no one to blame but myself.
Amazing videos rhat have changed my life. Thanks! Do you recommend any tome efficient recipes? I noticed you mentioned slow cooker. I follow all your routines and am doing so well, but I'm really struggling with cooking still. Takes up too mhch time for my liking. I have 2 small children aswell, and I want to spend time with them nit be cooking all day.
You’re awesome ❤
Nice ! I would use it for more then that I think. Week planning in général, meal planning ..maybe monthly budget somewhere and spending spreadsheet
Do you ship in Canada ? 😊
Is the pre-order available to us in Canada?? Excited to get it if possible
‘I’ll never let go, Jack!” *proceeds to let go*
A great system! Simple-so it will work. But comprehensive enough to adapt to home AND business. After years of my own research and 20+ years as a business coach, this is a lot like the system that I found works for me. However, yours is less complicated and I think I’m gonna take the coaching from you on this 😂 Sometimes things don’t get done because we’ve made them overly complex. And your key point is on target: schedule time to schedule! 😊
Please forgive me for trying to add to your to do list, but any thoughts about creating writable PDFs? For those of us who have to share our list with our family or our team, or want to be able to copy and paste things directly into our shareable calendars, I think we would absolutely pay to have access to a great system like this that can go electronic.😊
