    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!

    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.

    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!

    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 ^_^

  • @katv1195
    @katv1195 18 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    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.

    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!!

  • @demonheart13
    @demonheart13 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    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.

  • @PevarAvel

    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'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!

  • @saranades74

  • @MorwenaMath
    @MorwenaMath หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    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.

    • @JashiiCorrin

    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.

  • @thedirtygardener

    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.❤

    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.

    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!

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 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!!

    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 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 :)

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.

    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.

    • @JashiiCorrin
      @JashiiCorrin  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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!
