My simple productivity system

- Hi there, in this video, I will share a really easy system to maximize productivity using only two tools: a calendar and a to-do list. I feel so many people (including me) get hung up on the perfect productivity system and honestly: simplicity is key, so let's not overcomplicate it.
Yours, Kia xxx

Nice to hear from someone who pierces through all the magical productivity systems and boils them down to their core. Besides a task programme and calendar, I also use a note-taking programme for anything that is not a task but may become one (or a project) in the future. Hope you'll make a video about that someday. 😊
Thank you so much! I believe we have a similar system. :) I‘m planning a more detailed video about my to do list coming soon but note taking is a really good idea as well. Thank you for the idea 🙏🏻
@@kiahampel That's great to hear, thank you! 🙏 I am struggling a bit with what should go in the task manager and what in the notes program and how to connect the two. So I'm curious to hear how you've setup your system. 🙂
Just in case you did not see it yet. I uploaded a new video a few days ago „Organizing Work & Personal life“ I also touch on that topic :)
@@kiahampel Yes I noticed, thank you ☺
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 *📅 The importance of a to-do list and calendar*
- A to-do list and calendar are essential tools for productivity.
- The to-do list should have an inbox, prioritize important tasks, and set deadlines.
- Calendars help you schedule important tasks around your appointments and manage your time effectively.
01:23 *📝 Utilizing the to-do list effectively*
- The inbox is where all tasks initially go to avoid forgetting them.
- Differentiate between important tasks that impact your goals and shallow tasks that are less critical.
- Use deadlines (due dates and do dates) to manage tasks efficiently.
04:53 *🗓 Scheduling with the calendar*
- Review your calendar to determine available time slots for tasks.
- Schedule one to three important tasks per day based on deadlines and your current mood.
- Reserve shallow tasks for short, in-between moments, avoiding them during focused work blocks.

Nice summary! 👌🏻
@franknu hit the nail on the head! Great video because you get down to the nuts and bolts of what works, period. Thank you for reminding me that this is all I need! Subscribed!
Thank you! So happy to hear that 🤗
I find over the years that systems are very personal to each individual. Getting ideas is a great start but then some need to be tweaked to how you like it. Yes calendar and a capture area is always essential.
Well said! I believe though it’s best to start with a easy system and than tweak things as you go but don‘t start overly complicated :)
Love this! Great to listen to how you do it
Thanks so much! Please let me know if you have any questions or productivity topics you‘d like to see a video from me that would help you ☺️
That is simply helpful. Thank you.
Glad to hear it! 🫶
Very informative!!🙌
So glad 🫶
Sistemas de produtividade são pessoais simplesmente pelo fato de que produtividade varia de pessoas para pessoa, mas concordo que todos ou a maioria deles se baseia em tarefas e calendário. Eu uso as tarefas para tudo o que preciso fazer. Coloco a data de conclusão e um lembrete para subir uma notificação no dia para não esquecer. No calendário vão apenas os que eu preciso ir ou estar. Em casa evento vai 3 lembrete para duas antes para eu não esquecer. Geralmente 1 semana antas, 3 dias antes e 1 dia antes. O desafio é ter um lugar único para colocar esse sistema para funcionar porque como você disse não adianta ter vários pontos de coleta. Depois de muito tempo eu achei um app que atende esse requisito. E não podemos esquecer das notas porque elas acabam fazendo parte do nosso dia a dia.
100% agree. I think it’s with most things, people are just different and need different things (but with productivity lots of things are made more complicated than necessary 🙊)
And thank you for sharing your system. I like the three reminders 🤗
Thank you! Good system. I look forward to more of your content.
Thank you so much! Quick question, what other videos/topics/inspo would you like to see on the channel after watching this one?
Thanks!
I’m studying English and your videos are good for my study.🎉
That’s amazing! I always watched my favorite tv shows in English. This helped me so much to learn the language.
I really enjoyed this! Simple reminders about task management, but important. Thanks!
Thank you, so happy to hear this!
Quick question, what other videos/topics/inspo would you like to see on the channel after watching this one?
@@kiahampel Perhaps something about managing large projects (with multiple steps) workflow, and the ability to keep it simple enough to keep it moving along.
This was great thank you!
Glad it was helpful! 🫶
This was a really empowering and inspiring video. Thanks for the reminder to go back to the basics!
Yes true! And I believe if this works you can always build on that, but it should always be the starting point :)

Great video ! Subbed ! I think u will have a million on day 🙌
Wow, thank you! I hope you are right 🤞🏻🤞🏻😂
simple yet very helpful video. looking forward on your upcoming content. thank you
Thank you! Happy that you are here 🫶

I also came to the same system.
But I don't agree that a todo app must have deadlines functionality. That's exactly what a calendar is for.
You may use a plain text file for todo.
I'd also add that there should be a 3d thing - the knowledge base. That's where you store your thoughts, progress, results from your work, etc...
I totally agree with the knowledge base. I use notion and you?
For me the deadlines really help but without this your are right, it would be even more simple 🤝
Gutes System. Danke :)
Freut mich, dass zu hören :)
Pink Bee Productivity recommends a backlog of task dumps, then sort later (less mentally taxing)
I think I might do something similar. Have you seen my video with my „weekly planning routine“?
Good video and good channel. Thanks for producing in English too.
Thank you that’s so nice to hear 🫶
Ha ha .... Your story and my story are the same ! .... I watched so many videos on productivity but ultimately ended up using - Notes app & Google Calendar .... The less the better is my mantra now .... Keeping things simple yet focussed should be the goal isn't it ! .... So yes it's a minimalistic yet effective way of managing everyday work and also I try and maintain a pen paper diary that also is my analog companion ! .... 🙏 .... Liked your video ! .... Keep it up ! .... 🙂 ....
Thank you so much! Just wondering, do you always take your pen and paper with you? I love pen and paper, but I always get lost when I don't have it with me, and then I forget things.
@@kiahampel Thank you 🙏 .... Ok so my daily driver is my phone because I have my mobile with me at all times so everything even the smallest of thoughts goes down in my notes app immediately on my phone ! .... But whenever I am in my office everything is analog except Emails .... I have maintained a physical diary where all my ideas and meeting points go handwritten date wise ! .... Actually the fact is it has to be a mixture of both handwritten and digital note taking it just can't be one way or another I now believe .... 😎 ....
Nice video, really keeps it simple
Yes totally! Better spend your time doing the things than organizing the things 😆
Quick question, what other videos/topics/inspo would you like to see on the channel after watching this one?
Unless I missed it, it would be great if Things 3 could sync to your calendar automatically .
same!!! lol it is interesting. Because I used to watch tens maybe hundreds of videos looking for productivity tools, notion templates, second brain, making your own system. But now I only apple calender and Microsoft To Do🤣🤣
Exactly!! So funny that we endet up similar. Are you even using the same tools as me?
Good video beautiful 💕 just subscribed
Thank you so much!!
An AI tool that works exactly as you describe is Motion. Have you tried it?
I haven’t used it, but saw so many adds and it made me curious! Did not have the motivation just yet to try another tool 😂
I am new to your channel and subscribed.
Regarding this productivity system, please do show a demo showing practical examples how it helps us in work.
This video was more of theoretical and couldn't understand well. I checked your other videos on things3, the projects and areas are not shown properly in practical, so was not that much helpful to understand clearly.
Totally understand! Since it’s work related I can’t show the tasks (they are blurred out for that reason).
@@kiahampel No worries. I only needed a sample demo of any dummy data , how you use projects & areas etc & how you process them etc.
Its absolutely fine , i will search in youtube for it.
I am using things3 since few months. So was trying to understand how working professionals use it., that helps to understand more better.
I am still searching in youtube. Its hard to find a good tutorial on it.
@@RameshKumar-ng3nf Got it, thanks for the idea. I might make a more detailed video on it.
@@kiahampel So nice of you :) . Will wait your the video notification . Thanks and have a good day !.
Nice video. Btw you are so beautiful
Thank you 😊
Writing down any task that comes to mind is a terrible idea. The more of them you forget, the less is left to do.
😂 just scripting a video on how to save time and this could technically a time saving tip 😄
