Thank you, I feel that you’re one of few content creators who shares new and fresh ideas and ways of thinking about journaling/tackling problems. My journal looks very different compared to the classical bujo and it’s very nice to get more tips for alternative ways of planning one 😊 I’ve stuck with annual calendars for different topics, but quarterly sounds very interesting and could work for me. Also, thank you for your newsletters! They’re a very nice break in my otherwise dry flow of emails, and I appreciate reading your thoughts, tips and encouragement!
Im perfectly happy working with the months regardless of when they start but what an innovative idea for people who don’t resonate well with a traditional calendar structure.
You are my new favorite idea person. Thank you. I’m an elementary school librarian and I’m continually struggling with lesson plans when we have so many partial weeks. I’m going to use some of these ideas to help highlight the most essential content I need to share by quarter. I know this might not make sense, but trust me, you’ve helped my chaotic brain solve a problem.
I have been using this system since trying out the 12-week-year. I actually start close to the 21st of December as I like my 12-weeks to align with the season starting with the winter season :-)
I just began my first bullet journal this month (Dec), and naturally went with a "quarters" system, because I was actually striving to find a system that aligned with a more seasonal perspective (from the solstice to the equinox, etc) - a nature-based framework, if you will (I am a Nature Therapist, former biologist, and life-long nature-lover). I'm really enjoying your channel, by the way, and would love to see some videos about how to make cohesive spreads and layout across a quarter/season. I'm focusing on getting the hang of bullet journaling first, before I worry about making it about the aesthetics, as well.
Thank you for making this video, I've always been curious about the cycles you mention when planning your journals. Makes so much sense to use cyclic planning!
I love this idea! I will definitely try it out! But I change a little bit: if you START with a „reflect Week“ on the 30.12.2024, the chapters are a little more similar to the „normal months“.
Many large companies use an “accounting” cycle of 4-4-5. Every week starts on the same day, tasks are always due on the specified day in the cycle, and items that are “quarterly” are done in the 5 week month.
I adopted this system for my bullet journal when I got back into it (after a few months of not having one for the first part of 2024). Works extremely well for me, aligns with my goals a lot better and keeps me on track. Also doing a version of your gamified system for next year, certainly been getting a lot of good ideas from you after I came across your channel!
So visually freaking satisfying. Thank you so much for demonstrating this visually! You made it finally make sense why monthly planning doesn't work for my brain!
Interesting idea and perfect for my workout planning, as it‘s usually suggested to have an off-week after an 8 to 12 week fitness programme. I will try this!
I am so happy, so thankful, that you made this video (not that I don't appreciate EVERY video you make because ohhh I do), but I've been curious about the idea behind cyclic planning ever since I've started watching your videos. Everyone has different needs, and while at first I couldn't wrap the concept around my mind, this explanation really broke through. You articulated in a better way than I have, but I have struggled with time management (I will throw shade at ADHD for this, but I take responsibility for it...even though I don't want to 😤) and for the past few years, I've told others that I have "time anxiety". I hate the way the calendar year is set up, there are always a million ideas and goals floating around my brain at once so when I think of something specific I want to work on and then realize how much time has passed...I panic. I panic, depending on the severity it brings me to tears, and I feel like I can never catch up on anything. When my patients say, "Time flies by"-they aren't exaggerating. If you're not fully mindful of it, and/or you're working with a structure that doesn't work for YOU, it's too easy to *blink* and next thing you know the week/month/year has came and went. I want to give cyclic planning a go for the upcoming year. I'm actually excited to try this-thank you, Jess ❤
So when you first mentioned this system, the idea of having four quarters plus a week at the end of each reminded me immediately of the online racing game iRacing!! They structure their seasons every year in the same way - each season has 12 weeks, and Week 13 is basically 'do what you want week' with random track/car combinations and not as much focus on driver rating and results. It's more just for fun, and a way for the devs to implement any new content and tweaks for the next season! So in a way it ends up being very similar to your system ^_^
I love the idea I also like the "leap days" method which has 28 days a month and 0 to 3 leap days. So the 28 days are spread out so things occur in spans with breaks and may or may not align month to month by date. For example Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day would be leap days in December, so the actions for days 24 to 28 of the month leap the holidays and move to 27 to 31 December. (This is an old method I learned decades ago and I haven't seen it anywhere in bujo-land ☺). There's also another method based around rotating fortnights, which works well for people paid fortnightly.
I've decided that my year will always look like this season 1 : week 1 season 2 : week 14 season 3 : week 27 season 4 : week 40 If there's a week 53 it will be added to my reset week : extra vacation days!!
I just love watching and listening to you. Your voice is just so soothing! I've been watching since you were still teaching. I left for a bit but have come back and oh my has your channel grown! Congrats! You are so creative and motivating, you truly deserve it!! 💗💗
Jess, I really love your videos, your logic & your thoroughness. I love that you share good ideas in downloads. I especially love the way you end your videos with a reference or a link to another one, because it really helps when I'm binge watching & journalling at the same time. Very logical - very YOU!
Happy to learn even more about cyclic planning and seeing a concrete "tutorial" on how to approach it! You developed a really cool system, thank you for sharing! :)
Hi Jess! I've been binge watching your videos for the past week and you're giving me so much inspiration on how to use my planners for 2025 as well as some old journals I didn't know how to use! I love this system and I definitely wanna try it out for 2025! My job takes up so much of time that I feel like I never have time to focus on my goals, so I hope using the cyclic planning is gonna help me find the time to work on them
I love how this turned into a rant on the calendar system we use. There's a rabbit hole on alternate calendar proposals and nerd topics on calendar systems! not that any of it shields you of the reality of our current flawed system... sigh anyway, love your content!
This sounds like a rabbit hole I would like to dive into. It would be great way to procrastinate the load of tasks I have at the moment. Oh...wait. Seriously though, I'll be taking a look...sometime! Thanks for mentioning it.
I played a lot of harvest moon as a kid and I loved the 4 week seasons and did not understand why months weren't all 28days. So when I started planning, I plan everything in the first 28 days and the other days are bonus days. Mystical lost time that is outside time and space. On leap years I plan for the first 29 days to reflect the extra time EDIT: to confirm, the extra days are not just wasted. I unfortunately have a habit of never relacing or doing the little things for myself, these are the days for myself. No chores beyond don't be a slob, not appointments, no nothing but stay home, remeber to check over the next 28 days, and enjoy being alive. I usually binge a lot of TV and actual books during this year.
Loved following your cycling planning over 2024. It changed everything for me too! I adapted to me by adding the cut week by reuniting it in the previous/future month. The cut week that has >3 days in a month, the week will go in it. It does not solve the number of Sunday per month, but I always round it - a month with 5 weekends I’ll do reset on the 3rd weekend. Game changer for me too. Also noticed that it was how my brain work in a regular basis 😅
I could listen to you for hours. And probably have done since I found your channel. Bet you were a fabulous teacher but how lucky we are to have you on YT instead. I really like your approach - probably because I recognise your thought processes in myself. Thanks!
I've been doing quarterly planning for several years now (using Sarra Cannon's HB90 system), but I love this idea and I think I'm going to incorporate it into my plan for 2025. I too have found that having calendar-monthly reviews is a pain because they often fall midweek, so a 4- or 6-week review cycle makes a lot more sense. I don't use a fancy bullet journal, though, as I find it a time sink, so I need to work out how to fit cyclic planning into a printed planner. Thanks for the inspiration!
What an interesting, yet totally sensible, routine! I think this may actually work better for my late discovered neurodivergent brain where the months literally slip away (esp since being self-employed). I want to sink into this and see how it can make a difference. Thank you so much for sharing and walking through your process. Game changing!
I was already assigning my monthly tasks to weeks 1-4 every month before your first video about this. So cyclic planning instead of monthly made a lot of sense to me right from the get-go! I've tried it since April now and am loving it! For the upcoming year I will be making a slight change though and just do 4 week blocks without an extra week. I wasn't really doing a reset week as is (my work resets tend to be at irregular times and then often more than a week long), but instead just tacking on a fifth week every once in a while. But also because I get paid every two weeks, so even for my financial planning 4 week blocks makes sense.
I also have strong feelings about how our calendars are structured. Looking forward to trying this 💙 hope i can keep this. I personally start my calendars on Saturday so i am not surprised by whats coming up on a Monday 😂
My job actually runs on 4-week periods. As an accountant, it tickles my brain. When you started planning this way, it made me very curious about doing it myself. Since I haven't set up my bujo for 2025 yet (eeek!), I may just do that next year. Thanks for the deep dive! PS - Every time there is a bonus week in the calendar, they absorb that week into Period 13 just to start fresh with Period 1 of the following year. We actually did this for 2023 into 2024; P13 2023 ran from Nov 27 to Dec 31 (5 weeks), so that P1 2025 could start fresh on Jan 1.
I am coming back to this video to say that I used your date range calculator to plan my 2025 year adding in extra rows for each of the weeks of the cycles and and an extra column for some seasonal notations I need for my schedule and it is a thing of absolute beauty. I have always been a quarterly planner but have been struggling for a couple of years because for life reasons I need to start my year as starting at the end of Jan/ beginning of Feb. I have been trying to figure out how to overthrow the months and shift 'my' new year for a while but your idea of experimenting with your new planning system last year gave me the inspiration to try to fit Jan into my 2023 Bujo before starting my Nujo in Feb 2024... this video clarified why I was still having trouble with my planning and I am super excited to set up my 2025 bujo using the new schedule... I will keep all my backward facing New years spreads and reflections in the previous notebook and all the forward facing setups and plans in new 2025 notebook. Thank you so much for continuing to share all your tweaks and experiments, even when they do not work the way you plan they are inspiring and helpful.
Jess, thank you for this. I am contemplating making a different kind of cycle because my life is run by semesters and summers because my kids are in school. Dec 30-May 25 - 21 weeks May 26 - August 10 - 11 weeks August 11 - December 28 - 20 weeks I’m contemplating coming up with 5 week cycles. There are still 2 extra weeks but those could be transition / reset weeks (great for the week when the kids go back to school on a Thursday). Would love to hear your or anyone else’s thoughts! I do use a digital calendar so I don’t usually map out my calendars in my journals. August 10 -
I switched to Quarterly planning based on your suggestion (13-week periods) with the 13th week being my reset week. This has completely changed my life and outlook. I work my rear end off for 12 weeks and take the 13th week and “chill” (review, reset, self care, etc). I find myself looking forward to #13 and really push myself because #13 is a built-in treat. Thank you!!!! Edited to add: being in Ag, the 52 weeks are set by the industry so I don’t even have to worry about that. Such a nice brain break.❤
My best friend and I were talking about this exact thing because we've seen bits of it in your videos! We were hoping you'd make a more detailed video about it so this comes with a perfect timing for the new year🎉 I'm combining the reset weeks with my vacation days for work so I'll have the whole week off to fully reset 😊
you are literally a freaking genius... this is literally absolutely genius... it aligns perfectly with the academic calendar and everything... I think you just changed everything for me
Living in Israel, I follow the Israeli calendar. There are 12 month, some have 29 days and some have 30. The week starts everyday on Sunday. And ends on Saturday. 6 days a week for work, and Saturday complete relaxation.
You inspired me to implement a very different view on time. I still use month descriptors, but I only use Monday starts (so December started on the 2nd for me and will end on the 29th). This way some months include 5 weeks, but I'm fine with that because I think in quarters or week-by-week. In that sense I eliminated months... I combined future and monthly logs into one big calendar, because whenever I arrived at the end of a month, I had pretty much no idea about whatever was happening in the upcoming month. Out of sight out of mind thing. This way, I see how everything is filling up, I'm not overwhelmed by any upcoming months. And I can use the "out of sight out of mind" thing to actually concentrate on one week and not just shove tasks until the end of the month. That monthly task page was always a pain in the back of my mind. Also, my future me problems page is being used more since I do migration on certain tasks much more often. Not sure if I explained this well, but it seems to work with my brain. Now I'm figuring out how often I want/need to do reflections.
Jess, please fix the 7 days a week problem next 😂 been struggling recently to divide my layouts equally 😂 Often weeklies will have an extra notes space or whatever. But I want an even division of the whole page for the whole week 😂
Your comment about 12 x 28 = 364 and having a bonus day was the heart of the calendar reform movement with the League of Nations. It didn't pass for various particular reasons (religious freedom being one of them), and a good documentary dvd to this event is "The Wandering Day," which you can pick up through an Adventist Book Center, with the success perspective being that it didn't pass. As a Seventh-day Adventist, the preservation of the 7th day being Saturday is essential for me (so Sunday start is what I use), but the cycles and reset week notion, which you built for yourself is actually something I immediately related to. In my church, we already use quarters with 13-week cycles for our lesson structures and calendar planning already. So week 1 and Quarter 1 of 2025 starts on Sunday, December 29, 2024. There's nothing new under the sun, as the saying goes, but sometimes the light refracts through the gem at a different angle. ❤
I love this! And every month should start on a monday, with the same numbers of days and weeks, totally agree. This calendar chaos must be tamed! Decided to mock it up in excel and print it, because I don't trust myself with math, and was like hmmm, something's not quite right... Realized I was giving myself a reset week after every month, instead of every quarter. 🤦♀ Though that does sound appealing, maybe Lazy Me has something there. So I decided to make every 4th week slowdown week. Or maybe should just time everything to my menstrual cycle. Since that dictates my energy. Return to calendar chaos!
You probably already know about the Kodak calendar -- 13 28-day months, all starting on the same day of the week -- but if you don't, it's a fantastic bit of history about a recent (ish) large-scale calendar experiment.
Thank you!!! I have been anticipating a video like this for so long (AKA since I found your channel in September this year, lol). Cyclical planning works better with my paid work too because I don't have a consistent schedule (it's flexible and I choose when to work-a double-edged sword), so seeing whole weeks consistently is really helpful.
cyclic planning reminds me of the calendar system in Stardew Valley and it's something i've always wanted to implement into my schedule one way or another. thank you for sharing the video!❤😊
This idea is very interesting! I may try it for 2025. I usually give myself the "first week" (full or not) of the year off (I'm a freelancer, so I can more or less decide my time off) to rest from the chaos of the holidays, and do a "reset", so I think I would like to do the reset weeks before the cycles instead of at the end, and start the first cycle on the first Monday of the new year.
I just realized… I use my 13th week as a ‘reset & refresh’ sort of week. That would be the perfect spot to put a self-care bingo. Hair care, massage, nails, etc.
So, my everyday journal is set up seasonally, holding the three months associated with the weather outside my window. But I have a gaming journal that uses cyclic planning, with the week starting on Tuesday because that's when events reset in the game.
Hi! there are a kind of "calendar" used by mayans that is exactly what you're saying about the 13 months and a spare day, ita called tzolkin. i organize myself using the gregorian calendar, but usually write down in which day or cycle of the tzolkin we're in 😁
I have thought about doing something like this since you started sharing your journey on cyclic planning - and 've been thinking about how it could work w/the wheel of the year. since I already have my bujo set up w/regular old months for january and whatnot in '25, I have time to experiment/think on it, but just wanted to say, I appreciate that you are always thinking about ways to iterate on what works for you and make it even better!!
It’d be cool to see it aligned with that! I know some people who used cyclic planning this year started calling it seasonal planning instead and aligned it with the typical seasons 🤙
I started doing this method years ago but fitting it to suit me as a teacher. So my blocks are divvied up into Terms, with the two weeks of holiday after each term, then 6-7 weeks for the summer holidays at the end of Term 4. It feels more organic that way as that is how my time is structured usually anyway.
I love the process it took you to figure out this type of planning. I plan fortnightly because a week is too short and a month is too long, lol. Much less brain cells were used for mine.
The Bahai calendar has 19 months each with 19 days and 4 or 5 days left over. Still not divisible by 7 but at least each month has the same amount of days. Lol
@@JashiiCorrin I'd gotten as far as grumping about how the different lengths months have being annoying, but not to a solution yet - thank you VERY much for this video!
I guess I'm doing something similar to this without even realizing except I follow what week it is in the year. A few months will have 5 weeks, for instance January 2025 from week 1-5 (30 Dec - 2 Feb), but most months will be 4 weeks. February 2025 continues with four weeks, week 6-9, between 3 Feb - 2 Mar and so on.
Jess, I like the idea of planning in equal amounts of time. How would you handle it when real life interferes with planned life? Like an appointment pops up for which you know the better part of the day will be used, i.e. you're not getting anything else done than the appointment. Yes, I know all to well that real life is quite unpredictable. Yet, I hate it when I have to re-schedule. Perhaps I should mention that I have mobility issues, and attention deficit disorder. 2025 is my fourth attempt at planning. Ok, in fact I'm quite good at planning, I lack at the execution.
I work for a company that uses 4-week planning periods (in the UK - but it is very uncommon), including my own pay cycle, so I have 13 pay days a year! but payday also moves within the calendar month. After a somewhat strange time adjusting, about 9 months in, I became very much in favour of this pattern - they also offset the year a bit so the year starts mid-Jan (Sunday 12th for 2025) - very much adopting this for my personal planning in 2025 :)
This reminds me a lot of the 12-week-year way of planning, have you read it? I like a lot the way you connect it to setting up your bujo. Will you elaborate some more on your reset weeks? I’d really like to know more about it. Thanks a lot for all of your videos, I really like your content :D
Thanks! 💜 I’m hoping to be a lot more intentional about reset weeks next year. While they worked well this year, I always felt I had to reinvent the wheel when it came to planning them out. Would be nice to have some kind of a set routine to follow with them and also honour them as time off from my work 🤔 when I decided to move to cycle planning, I hadn’t read the 12 week year yet, but I ended up reading that this year and thought it was nice that it aligned well with the planning style I decided to go with 😄 the book itself wasn’t my favourite though. I felt that the author bought a very…interesting energy to the way they talked about planning and getting things done 😝
This is such a unique way of looking at the passage of time. I wish it would work for me but my job is so calendar/date focused (payroll) that this wouldnt work and doing this for just personal would confuse my poor little brain 😂 Maybe one day!
Interesting video, although i must admit that personally i could not care less about that whole weeks/ months subject. I just write down my goals for the month and get them done😅
Now I'm curious if your cyclic quarters are what businesses do when looking at stocks, and how a company looks at their year (fiscal quarters). I doubt businesses have a bonus week 🤔
Thank you. I'm going to give this a try as I want to work on my business more seriously and I think this well help promote that. Plus I need to branch out more and try new things. I am wondering how it will work with budgeting though as most things re finance are monthly. Any tips?
I try to log my financial stuff once per cycle, just using the regular calendar dates. Everything in there is calculated on a monthly basis (for totals in income, expenses, etc.) but because I don't do a lot of financial planning outside of just recording in and out, it hasn't been too much of an issue for me 💜
How do you say you're taking back the original moon-linked calendar followed by people around the world before the Vatican changed it to benefit them without saying it? Way to go Jess. Love it.
While the idea is great - and really, I would love to be able to implement that - unfortunately a lot of things orient themselves to the current calendar system, so many that staying in that system is just much easier :/ But I started, years ago, to set goals and similar things in weeks. I am doing a lot of things based on weeks rather than the month... so, I kinda already do your system (just only the actual goal- and task-planning) in parts, but do the overall overviews, finances and things like that on calendar month basis xD I think, having such a dual system is probably not the best way, but yeah, what to do. Thanks for sharing your idea!
This is very much like the system outlined in the book titled 12 Week Year, but what you describe here might be “better” because you account for all the nuances of the calendar. You did not talk about holidays, though. Does it affect productivity to work on a cycle through times like the winter holidays or back to school?
Jess, have you read The 12 week year? I think is pretty much what you explained, I haven't read it yet so I'm not sure what else could I get from the book. Regarding that extra week, according to my Samsung phone calendar, the year 2026 will have 53 weeks 😂.
I ended up reading that this year as people suggested it when I first talked about cyclic planning 😄 It was...okay 😝 I felt like the author bought quite a "dude bro" energy to it which I didn't really click with, and the examples felt very corporate focused. Came off a little "Just do it" and "you're the reason you don't get things done" 😅 But that could just be from my mindset at the time 🤷♀️
@@JashiiCorrinyeah, but in the end its the truth. I stopped sugarcpating stuff and told myself exactly that: you just need to do it, stop looking for an easier and more comfy way to do it and if its not done yet its your fault. Taking complete ownership and stopping to look for a more easy and comfy way was the gamechanger for me in accomplishing my goals!
Depending on how your school year is structured, I would literally just transfer this to being centred around the school terms. I know some school terms can vary in with how many weeks they have, so it might not end up being quite as even a structure as I have, but I would probably do something like splitting each of the school terms into three equal chunks of weeks, and then consider the holiday break as the reset time. When the holiday doesn’t get used fully for resetting tasks, you could consider a part of it to be part of the school term and the preparation that needs to be done for that 🤔 so for instance if the first term of the school year is 10 weeks, you just add on one week from the holiday before the term, and one week from the holiday after the term to make your 12 weeks that you then split into three cycles each with four weeks It would need a little bit more planning, and probably would look different for different teachers depending on how their school structured the year, but there is certainly a way to do it!
@JashiiCorrin thank you very much!!! 💜 I live in Italy and school terms are very much NOT rationally organised. For example my school now has a first trimester (that actually amounts to almost 4 months) and a pentamester (which is 5 and a half months + finals). It's a bit crazy 🤣. But maybe I can work around it.
I tried this and miserably failed 😅. I underestimated how much my brain and my work is fixed on calendar months and calendar quarters. I need to figure out the cadence of quarters first and then see if any tweaks can be made.
That’s how I started - I just designated the last week of every calendar quarter as my 13th week. It was messy at some points but it always puts the last week of the year as a reset week… aka nothing during the week between Christmas & New Year’s Eve.
I do understand your thoughts about having 13 months in a year, but i do have a question: What kind of weekday would this resetday be? Cause it would be a day just standing alone with no week...
Yeah it the 13 month year would have to be a more widely adopted thing if we were just booting that last day to “day off” 😂 my vote is on it being called Nonsday
We have two main communities 💜 one for journaling and planning (which is where we have a section to talk about cyclic planning) and one that is our reading and bookish community The one talked about in this video is discord.gg/qbQnBdk 😄
I love Jess being a persnickety biscuit about the calendar
❤ persnickety biscuit ❤
😂 I just have a lot of feelings 😝
Can we PLEASE get a persnickety biscuit tshirt. Or sticker. Or baseball cap. Pleeeeeeeease.
I am also a persnickety biscuit

@@JashiiCorrin And yet you hate blog posts? You confuse me sometimes. 🤪 (I'm also enjoying the newsletter. 😘)

Idea person fits Jess perfectly, the amount of knowledge sharing that she does is amazing.
I have been using this system since trying out the 12-week-year. I actually start close to the 21st of December as I like my 12-weeks to align with the season starting with the winter season :-)
I just began my first bullet journal this month (Dec), and naturally went with a "quarters" system, because I was actually striving to find a system that aligned with a more seasonal perspective (from the solstice to the equinox, etc) - a nature-based framework, if you will (I am a Nature Therapist, former biologist, and life-long nature-lover).

I'm focusing on getting the hang of bullet journaling first, before I worry about making it about the aesthetics, as well.
Thank you for making this video, I've always been curious about the cycles you mention when planning your journals. Makes so much sense to use cyclic planning!
Glad the video was useful 😄 I’ve really enjoyed cyclic planning this year, and am certainly going to continue with it next year 💪
I love this idea! I will definitely try it out! But I change a little bit: if you START with a „reflect Week“ on the 30.12.2024, the chapters are a little more similar to the „normal months“.
That would work out perfectly for me actually 😅 thanks for bringing that up!
Many large companies use an “accounting” cycle of 4-4-5. Every week starts on the same day, tasks are always due on the specified day in the cycle, and items that are “quarterly” are done in the 5 week month.
Thank you for explaining this! I've heard you mention this and wanted to know more! 🙌
I adopted this system for my bullet journal when I got back into it (after a few months of not having one for the first part of 2024). Works extremely well for me, aligns with my goals a lot better and keeps me on track. Also doing a version of your gamified system for next year, certainly been getting a lot of good ideas from you after I came across your channel!
So visually freaking satisfying. Thank you so much for demonstrating this visually! You made it finally make sense why monthly planning doesn't work for my brain!
Most welcome! 💜 Glad the system appeals to you 😄
Interesting idea and perfect for my workout planning, as it‘s usually suggested to have an off-week after an 8 to 12 week fitness programme. I will try this!
The 13 month year reminds me of the Mayan Calendar. The extra day is called the “day out of time”.
I am so happy, so thankful, that you made this video (not that I don't appreciate EVERY video you make because ohhh I do), but I've been curious about the idea behind cyclic planning ever since I've started watching your videos. Everyone has different needs, and while at first I couldn't wrap the concept around my mind, this explanation really broke through.
You articulated in a better way than I have, but I have struggled with time management (I will throw shade at ADHD for this, but I take responsibility for it...even though I don't want to 😤) and for the past few years, I've told others that I have "time anxiety". I hate the way the calendar year is set up, there are always a million ideas and goals floating around my brain at once so when I think of something specific I want to work on and then realize how much time has passed...I panic. I panic, depending on the severity it brings me to tears, and I feel like I can never catch up on anything. When my patients say, "Time flies by"-they aren't exaggerating. If you're not fully mindful of it, and/or you're working with a structure that doesn't work for YOU, it's too easy to *blink* and next thing you know the week/month/year has came and went.
I want to give cyclic planning a go for the upcoming year. I'm actually excited to try this-thank you, Jess ❤
I’m obsessed by your cyclic planning strategy!! It is so smart! Thank you for sharing it with us 💜
So when you first mentioned this system, the idea of having four quarters plus a week at the end of each reminded me immediately of the online racing game iRacing!! They structure their seasons every year in the same way - each season has 12 weeks, and Week 13 is basically 'do what you want week' with random track/car combinations and not as much focus on driver rating and results. It's more just for fun, and a way for the devs to implement any new content and tweaks for the next season! So in a way it ends up being very similar to your system ^_^
I love the idea
I also like the "leap days" method which has 28 days a month and 0 to 3 leap days. So the 28 days are spread out so things occur in spans with breaks and may or may not align month to month by date. For example Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day would be leap days in December, so the actions for days 24 to 28 of the month leap the holidays and move to 27 to 31 December. (This is an old method I learned decades ago and I haven't seen it anywhere in bujo-land ☺).
There's also another method based around rotating fortnights, which works well for people paid fortnightly.
I've decided that my year will always look like this
season 1 : week 1
season 2 : week 14
season 3 : week 27
season 4 : week 40
If there's a week 53 it will be added to my reset week : extra vacation days!!
Nice way to break it down 💪 Seasonal planning 🥳
Been sitting and working on reading journal setup and my long term journal while watching your videos all day. Since I’m retired. I can do that.
Happy to keep you company for it 💪💜
I just love watching and listening to you. Your voice is just so soothing! I've been watching since you were still teaching. I left for a bit but have come back and oh my has your channel grown! Congrats! You are so creative and motivating, you truly deserve it!! 💗💗
Jess, I really love your videos, your logic & your thoroughness. I love that you share good ideas in downloads. I especially love the way you end your videos with a reference or a link to another one, because it really helps when I'm binge watching & journalling at the same time. Very logical - very YOU!
Haha glad it’s appreciated! 😄💜 thanks Gayle!
Happy to learn even more about cyclic planning and seeing a concrete "tutorial" on how to approach it! You developed a really cool system, thank you for sharing! :)
Hi Jess! I've been binge watching your videos for the past week and you're giving me so much inspiration on how to use my planners for 2025 as well as some old journals I didn't know how to use! I love this system and I definitely wanna try it out for 2025! My job takes up so much of time that I feel like I never have time to focus on my goals, so I hope using the cyclic planning is gonna help me find the time to work on them
I love how this turned into a rant on the calendar system we use. There's a rabbit hole on alternate calendar proposals and nerd topics on calendar systems!
not that any of it shields you of the reality of our current flawed system... sigh
anyway, love your content!
This sounds like a rabbit hole I would like to dive into.
It would be great way to procrastinate the load of tasks I have at the moment. Oh...wait.
Seriously though, I'll be taking a look...sometime! Thanks for mentioning it.
I played a lot of harvest moon as a kid and I loved the 4 week seasons and did not understand why months weren't all 28days. So when I started planning, I plan everything in the first 28 days and the other days are bonus days. Mystical lost time that is outside time and space.
On leap years I plan for the first 29 days to reflect the extra time
EDIT: to confirm, the extra days are not just wasted. I unfortunately have a habit of never relacing or doing the little things for myself, these are the days for myself. No chores beyond don't be a slob, not appointments, no nothing but stay home, remeber to check over the next 28 days, and enjoy being alive. I usually binge a lot of TV and actual books during this year.
Loved following your cycling planning over 2024. It changed everything for me too! I adapted to me by adding the cut week by reuniting it in the previous/future month. The cut week that has >3 days in a month, the week will go in it. It does not solve the number of Sunday per month, but I always round it - a month with 5 weekends I’ll do reset on the 3rd weekend. Game changer for me too. Also noticed that it was how my brain work in a regular basis 😅
I could listen to you for hours. And probably have done since I found your channel. Bet you were a fabulous teacher but how lucky we are to have you on YT instead. I really like your approach - probably because I recognise your thought processes in myself. Thanks!
I've been doing quarterly planning for several years now (using Sarra Cannon's HB90 system), but I love this idea and I think I'm going to incorporate it into my plan for 2025. I too have found that having calendar-monthly reviews is a pain because they often fall midweek, so a 4- or 6-week review cycle makes a lot more sense. I don't use a fancy bullet journal, though, as I find it a time sink, so I need to work out how to fit cyclic planning into a printed planner. Thanks for the inspiration!
What an interesting, yet totally sensible, routine! I think this may actually work better for my late discovered neurodivergent brain where the months literally slip away (esp since being self-employed). I want to sink into this and see how it can make a difference. Thank you so much for sharing and walking through your process. Game changing!
I was already assigning my monthly tasks to weeks 1-4 every month before your first video about this. So cyclic planning instead of monthly made a lot of sense to me right from the get-go! I've tried it since April now and am loving it! For the upcoming year I will be making a slight change though and just do 4 week blocks without an extra week. I wasn't really doing a reset week as is (my work resets tend to be at irregular times and then often more than a week long), but instead just tacking on a fifth week every once in a while. But also because I get paid every two weeks, so even for my financial planning 4 week blocks makes sense.
Very fair 👏 all about people finding planning systems that work well for them, and it’s great to hear that four week blocks is working well for you 🥳
I also have strong feelings about how our calendars are structured. Looking forward to trying this 💙 hope i can keep this.
I personally start my calendars on Saturday so i am not surprised by whats coming up on a Monday 😂
omg thank u for this! i love this idea and i will have to try this with my Kinbor weeks!
My job actually runs on 4-week periods. As an accountant, it tickles my brain. When you started planning this way, it made me very curious about doing it myself. Since I haven't set up my bujo for 2025 yet (eeek!), I may just do that next year. Thanks for the deep dive!
PS - Every time there is a bonus week in the calendar, they absorb that week into Period 13 just to start fresh with Period 1 of the following year. We actually did this for 2023 into 2024; P13 2023 ran from Nov 27 to Dec 31 (5 weeks), so that P1 2025 could start fresh on Jan 1.
I am coming back to this video to say that I used your date range calculator to plan my 2025 year adding in extra rows for each of the weeks of the cycles and and an extra column for some seasonal notations I need for my schedule and it is a thing of absolute beauty. I have always been a quarterly planner but have been struggling for a couple of years because for life reasons I need to start my year as starting at the end of Jan/ beginning of Feb. I have been trying to figure out how to overthrow the months and shift 'my' new year for a while but your idea of experimenting with your new planning system last year gave me the inspiration to try to fit Jan into my 2023 Bujo before starting my Nujo in Feb 2024... this video clarified why I was still having trouble with my planning and I am super excited to set up my 2025 bujo using the new schedule... I will keep all my backward facing New years spreads and reflections in the previous notebook and all the forward facing setups and plans in new 2025 notebook. Thank you so much for continuing to share all your tweaks and experiments, even when they do not work the way you plan they are inspiring and helpful.
Aww I'm really glad the video was helpful for you! Sounds like a cool system you're using with your calendar 😄💜
So glad I clicked on this video! Great stuff, thank you!
Jess, thank you for this. I am contemplating making a different kind of cycle because my life is run by semesters and summers because my kids are in school.
Dec 30-May 25 - 21 weeks
May 26 - August 10 - 11 weeks
August 11 - December 28 - 20 weeks
I’m contemplating coming up with 5 week cycles. There are still 2 extra weeks but those could be transition / reset weeks (great for the week when the kids go back to school on a Thursday).
Would love to hear your or anyone else’s thoughts! I do use a digital calendar so I don’t usually map out my calendars in my journals.
August 10 -
I switched to Quarterly planning based on your suggestion (13-week periods) with the 13th week being my reset week. This has completely changed my life and outlook. I work my rear end off for 12 weeks and take the 13th week and “chill” (review, reset, self care, etc). I find myself looking forward to #13 and really push myself because #13 is a built-in treat. Thank you!!!!
Edited to add: being in Ag, the 52 weeks are set by the industry so I don’t even have to worry about that. Such a nice brain break.❤
I was looking for something like this! ever since my teens I was annoyed by the calendar system. Thank you for the video and resources :D
Most welcome! 😄💜
My best friend and I were talking about this exact thing because we've seen bits of it in your videos! We were hoping you'd make a more detailed video about it so this comes with a perfect timing for the new year🎉
I'm combining the reset weeks with my vacation days for work so I'll have the whole week off to fully reset 😊
Oh that’s a great idea! 💜 actual scheduled break time 🥳
you are literally a freaking genius... this is literally absolutely genius... it aligns perfectly with the academic calendar and everything... I think you just changed everything for me
i agree!
Living in Israel, I follow the Israeli calendar. There are 12 month, some have 29 days and some have 30. The week starts everyday on Sunday. And ends on Saturday. 6 days a week for work, and Saturday complete relaxation.
As a mother who is beginning to homeschool my 5yo. I needed this!!! Thank you! I now have ideas on how to better structure our learning time :)
Oh awesome! Glad it could be useful for you 😄
You inspired me to implement a very different view on time. I still use month descriptors, but I only use Monday starts (so December started on the 2nd for me and will end on the 29th). This way some months include 5 weeks, but I'm fine with that because I think in quarters or week-by-week. In that sense I eliminated months... I combined future and monthly logs into one big calendar, because whenever I arrived at the end of a month, I had pretty much no idea about whatever was happening in the upcoming month. Out of sight out of mind thing. This way, I see how everything is filling up, I'm not overwhelmed by any upcoming months. And I can use the "out of sight out of mind" thing to actually concentrate on one week and not just shove tasks until the end of the month. That monthly task page was always a pain in the back of my mind. Also, my future me problems page is being used more since I do migration on certain tasks much more often. Not sure if I explained this well, but it seems to work with my brain. Now I'm figuring out how often I want/need to do reflections.
Jess, please fix the 7 days a week problem next 😂 been struggling recently to divide my layouts equally 😂
Often weeklies will have an extra notes space or whatever. But I want an even division of the whole page for the whole week 😂
yes please @Jess
Your comment about 12 x 28 = 364 and having a bonus day was the heart of the calendar reform movement with the League of Nations. It didn't pass for various particular reasons (religious freedom being one of them), and a good documentary dvd to this event is "The Wandering Day," which you can pick up through an Adventist Book Center, with the success perspective being that it didn't pass. As a Seventh-day Adventist, the preservation of the 7th day being Saturday is essential for me (so Sunday start is what I use), but the cycles and reset week notion, which you built for yourself is actually something I immediately related to. In my church, we already use quarters with 13-week cycles for our lesson structures and calendar planning already. So week 1 and Quarter 1 of 2025 starts on Sunday, December 29, 2024. There's nothing new under the sun, as the saying goes, but sometimes the light refracts through the gem at a different angle. ❤
That's a really lovely saying! I'ma write that in my journal 💜 Thanks for sharing! 😄
I love this! And every month should start on a monday, with the same numbers of days and weeks, totally agree. This calendar chaos must be tamed!
Decided to mock it up in excel and print it, because I don't trust myself with math, and was like hmmm, something's not quite right... Realized I was giving myself a reset week after every month, instead of every quarter. 🤦♀
Though that does sound appealing, maybe Lazy Me has something there. So I decided to make every 4th week slowdown week. Or maybe should just time everything to my menstrual cycle. Since that dictates my energy. Return to calendar chaos!
You probably already know about the Kodak calendar -- 13 28-day months, all starting on the same day of the week -- but if you don't, it's a fantastic bit of history about a recent (ish) large-scale calendar experiment.
Thank you!!! I have been anticipating a video like this for so long (AKA since I found your channel in September this year, lol). Cyclical planning works better with my paid work too because I don't have a consistent schedule (it's flexible and I choose when to work-a double-edged sword), so seeing whole weeks consistently is really helpful.
Glad you like the idea and that it’d work well for you 😄💜
Hey!! You rolled over 100K and I missed it. Congratulations!!
cyclic planning reminds me of the calendar system in Stardew Valley and it's something i've always wanted to implement into my schedule one way or another. thank you for sharing the video!❤😊
Most welcome! 💜 I haven't played Stardew Valley, but it looks like a lot of fun 😄
I love this. Budget planning also generally run on cyclesm
This idea is very interesting! I may try it for 2025. I usually give myself the "first week" (full or not) of the year off (I'm a freelancer, so I can more or less decide my time off) to rest from the chaos of the holidays, and do a "reset", so I think I would like to do the reset weeks before the cycles instead of at the end, and start the first cycle on the first Monday of the new year.
I just realized… I use my 13th week as a ‘reset & refresh’ sort of week. That would be the perfect spot to put a self-care bingo. Hair care, massage, nails, etc.
So, my everyday journal is set up seasonally, holding the three months associated with the weather outside my window.
But I have a gaming journal that uses cyclic planning, with the week starting on Tuesday because that's when events reset in the game.
Hi! there are a kind of "calendar" used by mayans that is exactly what you're saying about the 13 months and a spare day, ita called tzolkin. i organize myself using the gregorian calendar, but usually write down in which day or cycle of the tzolkin we're in 😁
Oh, that's interesting! I've never heard of the tzolkin calendar before! 😊 I'll have to check it out 👀
I have thought about doing something like this since you started sharing your journey on cyclic planning - and 've been thinking about how it could work w/the wheel of the year. since I already have my bujo set up w/regular old months for january and whatnot in '25, I have time to experiment/think on it, but just wanted to say, I appreciate that you are always thinking about ways to iterate on what works for you and make it even better!!
It’d be cool to see it aligned with that! I know some people who used cyclic planning this year started calling it seasonal planning instead and aligned it with the typical seasons 🤙
I started doing this method years ago but fitting it to suit me as a teacher. So my blocks are divvied up into Terms, with the two weeks of holiday after each term, then 6-7 weeks for the summer holidays at the end of Term 4. It feels more organic that way as that is how my time is structured usually anyway.
Exactly 👏 Makes a lot more sense to have it structured to whatever is the biggest planning "challenge" if that makes sense 🤔
I love the process it took you to figure out this type of planning. I plan fortnightly because a week is too short and a month is too long, lol. Much less brain cells were used for mine.
Fortnightly planning was something I was initially going to build into my system, yeah! I feel you on the week being too short 😝
The Bahai calendar has 19 months each with 19 days and 4 or 5 days left over. Still not divisible by 7 but at least each month has the same amount of days. Lol
Oh interesting 👀 I’ve not heard of that one!
I found you from Sarra's livestream comments, and I'm glad i subscribed!!! This is such a novel way to map out a year, and i want to try it 🎉
Oh cool! Sarra's a gem 😄 Glad you like the system! 💜
This is genius! ❤❤❤
Glad you like the idea! 💜
yeees, I was waiting for this one :D I was not sure what to do with the reset week 😅
I was JUST discussing this yesterday! Talk about serendipity ^_^
Eyyyy! 😄 Obviously on the same wavelength 👏
@@JashiiCorrin I'd gotten as far as grumping about how the different lengths months have being annoying, but not to a solution yet - thank you VERY much for this video!
I guess I'm doing something similar to this without even realizing except I follow what week it is in the year. A few months will have 5 weeks, for instance January 2025 from week 1-5 (30 Dec - 2 Feb), but most months will be 4 weeks. February 2025 continues with four weeks, week 6-9, between 3 Feb - 2 Mar and so on.
Jess, I like the idea of planning in equal amounts of time. How would you handle it when real life interferes with planned life? Like an appointment pops up for which you know the better part of the day will be used, i.e. you're not getting anything else done than the appointment. Yes, I know all to well that real life is quite unpredictable. Yet, I hate it when I have to re-schedule.
Perhaps I should mention that I have mobility issues, and attention deficit disorder.
2025 is my fourth attempt at planning. Ok, in fact I'm quite good at planning, I lack at the execution.
This is similar to the accounting 4-5-4 calendar. Works well for planning.
Nice! 💪 I’ve not heard of that system, will have to check it out 👀
Study calendars for uni etc are also a pain too!
9:48 "Cool, calm and collected" makes me think of a kendrick lamar song, i wonder what k-dot's journal looks like🤪
I do this quarterly planning, too. I use the 13th week in each quarter as “vacation.” I don’t plan anything.
That’s a great way to use it! Then you have intentional built in time off in your schedule, I could definitely use that 😝
02:50 I related too hard to February.
Possibly, there's a different way of thinking about the time perception issue 🤔 It's common in autism to be time >>blind
I work for a company that uses 4-week planning periods (in the UK - but it is very uncommon), including my own pay cycle, so I have 13 pay days a year! but payday also moves within the calendar month. After a somewhat strange time adjusting, about 9 months in, I became very much in favour of this pattern - they also offset the year a bit so the year starts mid-Jan (Sunday 12th for 2025) - very much adopting this for my personal planning in 2025 :)
Oh nice that your work system would align with it too! 😄💜
This reminds me a lot of the 12-week-year way of planning, have you read it? I like a lot the way you connect it to setting up your bujo. Will you elaborate some more on your reset weeks? I’d really like to know more about it. Thanks a lot for all of your videos, I really like your content :D
Thanks! 💜 I’m hoping to be a lot more intentional about reset weeks next year. While they worked well this year, I always felt I had to reinvent the wheel when it came to planning them out. Would be nice to have some kind of a set routine to follow with them and also honour them as time off from my work 🤔 when I decided to move to cycle planning, I hadn’t read the 12 week year yet, but I ended up reading that this year and thought it was nice that it aligned well with the planning style I decided to go with 😄 the book itself wasn’t my favourite though. I felt that the author bought a very…interesting energy to the way they talked about planning and getting things done 😝
This is such a unique way of looking at the passage of time. I wish it would work for me but my job is so calendar/date focused (payroll) that this wouldnt work and doing this for just personal would confuse my poor little brain 😂 Maybe one day!
Yeah thankfully given the flexibility of my work, I don’t have to compete with too many specifically monthly things 😛
Technically, you could go with lunar new year instead of the calendar new year. It should fit your cycle planning better
Interesting video, although i must admit that personally i could not care less about that whole weeks/ months subject. I just write down my goals for the month and get them done😅
Go forth 👌 If that works for you, then more power to you 😄
Now I'm curious if your cyclic quarters are what businesses do when looking at stocks, and how a company looks at their year (fiscal quarters). I doubt businesses have a bonus week 🤔
Ok, you've convinced me. 😁
Aww yiss 🥳
I wll try this year ! it is so smart. Does anybody know about an calendar app that use this system????
Thank you. I'm going to give this a try as I want to work on my business more seriously and I think this well help promote that. Plus I need to branch out more and try new things. I am wondering how it will work with budgeting though as most things re finance are monthly. Any tips?
I try to log my financial stuff once per cycle, just using the regular calendar dates. Everything in there is calculated on a monthly basis (for totals in income, expenses, etc.) but because I don't do a lot of financial planning outside of just recording in and out, it hasn't been too much of an issue for me 💜
@JashiiCorrin
Thank you. I do more of a budget so maybe I just need to drop it in at month end or a set after the reset week. Will think on it.
How do you say you're taking back the original moon-linked calendar followed by people around the world before the Vatican changed it to benefit them without saying it? Way to go Jess. Love it.
Haha 😂 I suppose that’s similar, yes 😊 Not sure how the moon cycles deal with reset week 🤔
@@JashiiCorrin True. It is simply that the original calendar had a 28-day month synched perfectly with the moon cycle and 13 months in the year.
While the idea is great - and really, I would love to be able to implement that - unfortunately a lot of things orient themselves to the current calendar system, so many that staying in that system is just much easier :/
But I started, years ago, to set goals and similar things in weeks. I am doing a lot of things based on weeks rather than the month... so, I kinda already do your system (just only the actual goal- and task-planning) in parts, but do the overall overviews, finances and things like that on calendar month basis xD
I think, having such a dual system is probably not the best way, but yeah, what to do.
Thanks for sharing your idea!
Not even kidding, I did the same 6 hours ago omg 😭
Edit : didn't do the reset week, great idea!
Twinninggg 😈
This is very much like the system outlined in the book titled 12 Week Year, but what you describe here might be “better” because you account for all the nuances of the calendar. You did not talk about holidays, though. Does it affect productivity to work on a cycle through times like the winter holidays or back to school?
I now happily identify as a persnickety biscuit! 😂❤
My brain has been trained to think of seconds, minutes, days, weeks, months and years, I can’t think of quarters!!!!
I dunno...I think you could 😛 Might take a second, but can certainly be done 👌 Of course, you don't *have* to. I just find it helpful for me 🤙
@ I get your method and it makes perfect sense to me, I am going to try to make it work for me
Good evening from Alaska
Good evening from New Zealand 😊
Jess, have you read The 12 week year? I think is pretty much what you explained, I haven't read it yet so I'm not sure what else could I get from the book. Regarding that extra week, according to my Samsung phone calendar, the year 2026 will have 53 weeks 😂.
I ended up reading that this year as people suggested it when I first talked about cyclic planning 😄 It was...okay 😝 I felt like the author bought quite a "dude bro" energy to it which I didn't really click with, and the examples felt very corporate focused. Came off a little "Just do it" and "you're the reason you don't get things done" 😅 But that could just be from my mindset at the time 🤷♀️
@@JashiiCorrin well then I'll skip it for the time being, like if I don't have an already big pile of books to read.
@@JashiiCorrinyeah, but in the end its the truth. I stopped sugarcpating stuff and told myself exactly that: you just need to do it, stop looking for an easier and more comfy way to do it and if its not done yet its your fault. Taking complete ownership and stopping to look for a more easy and comfy way was the gamechanger for me in accomplishing my goals!
Fellow teachers, please help 😅: I love this idea, I want to try it, but I don't know how to apply it, having to follow the school calendar. Any ideas?
Depending on how your school year is structured, I would literally just transfer this to being centred around the school terms. I know some school terms can vary in with how many weeks they have, so it might not end up being quite as even a structure as I have, but I would probably do something like splitting each of the school terms into three equal chunks of weeks, and then consider the holiday break as the reset time. When the holiday doesn’t get used fully for resetting tasks, you could consider a part of it to be part of the school term and the preparation that needs to be done for that 🤔 so for instance if the first term of the school year is 10 weeks, you just add on one week from the holiday before the term, and one week from the holiday after the term to make your 12 weeks that you then split into three cycles each with four weeks
It would need a little bit more planning, and probably would look different for different teachers depending on how their school structured the year, but there is certainly a way to do it!
@JashiiCorrin thank you very much!!! 💜 I live in Italy and school terms are very much NOT rationally organised. For example my school now has a first trimester (that actually amounts to almost 4 months) and a pentamester (which is 5 and a half months + finals). It's a bit crazy 🤣. But maybe I can work around it.
Have you read the 12 week year book?
I read it this year after people suggested it when I shared about cyclic planning last year 😄💜
I tried this and miserably failed 😅. I underestimated how much my brain and my work is fixed on calendar months and calendar quarters. I need to figure out the cadence of quarters first and then see if any tweaks can be made.
That’s how I started - I just designated the last week of every calendar quarter as my 13th week. It was messy at some points but it always puts the last week of the year as a reset week… aka nothing during the week between Christmas & New Year’s Eve.
I do understand your thoughts about having 13 months in a year, but i do have a question: What kind of weekday would this resetday be? Cause it would be a day just standing alone with no week...
Yeah it the 13 month year would have to be a more widely adopted thing if we were just booting that last day to “day off” 😂 my vote is on it being called Nonsday
I’m trying it out for 2025
Awesome to hear it! 🥳💜
Yassss! * in autism * 😌
Haha 😂💜 love it
you might be a genius
Is this another community, if so can i join? 😅😅😅😅😅 Sorry for nagging.
We have two main communities 💜 one for journaling and planning (which is where we have a section to talk about cyclic planning) and one that is our reading and bookish community
The one talked about in this video is discord.gg/qbQnBdk 😄
Oh i get it now, but is it age ranged?
@@zarifahsvlogmalaysia7854 Discord requires users to be at least 13 years old 😊
Damn, you're over-thinking it! LOL
But like...overthinking is my favourite sport 😛
Noooo you’re not thinking hard enough. For me, whose job is based on deliverables rather than time spent at work, this is life changing
I love this, but I'm not sure my brain would allow for it...
It took a couple of cycles to get used to it, but I'm so glad I changed over to it 😝💜
