    I doing a planning reset while watching this and I was writing tips for myself. one of them was “this planner is here to help you not to judge you” and LITERALLY right after I wrote that you said it in the video. amazing

    Liked and subscribed because I have ADHD and this is the only video on this topic that has been able to keep my attention by being both straight to the point, while also explaining the things you're doing. And the aesthetics?? 10/10

    Notes form the video 📸
    1)Brain dump -write down everything which u have to do in this week divide this into •Work •Non-nego -things to do every week •Play-things you like to do this week.
    3)Add theses thing into your calender (my fav).
    4)Weekly checking of those lists in your calendar-UPDATE
    You are all done 👍 good job 💪

    Even without using the specific thing you’re using it’s really helpful to see how to make the work life balance a real thing.. I definitely prefer notion simply because I’m familiar with it and have a todo list task app that’s also a game so it’s motivated me.. and watching this helped me make it work better for me

    Great video, and the app is impressive, I signed in, the one thing missing was a more high level view of my tasks. Like you at the end of the day, I like to have a full task list to peruse and mull on during weekly / longer planning - here I'll add some dot points to tasks so I don't need to remember adding them later - cleaning and polishing the task list as it changes and incrementally adjusts daily

It's funny because before this video uploaded, I started making a plan of all the tasks I needed to get done and then cartegorized them exaclty as you've shown. But then I had some trouble to figure out how to implement these tasks on a weekly timetable. So thank you, it helps a lot 💖💖! I relate so much about "being pulled in all directions" 😂 especially as a student preparing final exams and keeping up with deadlines for assignements while also having to prepare for the next adult life and the competitions for university entrance.
