    Okay, I have to go off on a rant for a second. I’ve seriously been in the planner community for 10 years and I’ve been WAITING for a TH-camr like you to come into the picture. You help me get down to brass tacks and build better habits. Your videos have helped me free up so much brain space and see things in a way that is slowly helping me grow as a person.

    Even as a retired person I still need these "productivity tools", not so much for productivity as for keeping track of appointments, events, information, self care, finances, meal planning, nutritional education, book studies, and record keeping. My mind works best in categories, so I have one binder just for Financial statements and records. One notebook is just for Morning Pages. One agenda is just for self care, so I can record things like medical appointments, weight, BMI, blood pressure, pulse, hours slept, activity, pleasure trips, social interaction, electrolytes,, etc. I have one main calendar to capture appointments, and one main journal for gratitude. That helps my brain keep things sorted out and in place. I'm a very functional planner, but I like pretty tools.

      Omg same here I knew I wasn’t the only one! And I have them strategically placed in my home, car & Bag! So I have a set flow no matter if I’m following a routine I always capture! What I’m still stuck on is trying to integrate that info onto my phone! Wow I honestly thought I was the only one that struggled with Notion(I had so many effing templates/brains/systems Ever since I’ve detached/limited usage from it to migrate back to writing (most successful method for me) I’ve struggled to get the digital brain back since weaning off of it to decrease that “dependency”. But that thanks for sharing cause I totally relate, I’m retiring soon (@29 from the Navy and I know I need that digital help soon now that my life is in a complete overhaul.
      If you don’t mind sharing what are some tips on to your new life shift? I’d appreciate any advice/guidance! ⭐️

    Emailing yourself is a great capture method for me and I do it all the time. I've even set up a filter to divert all tasks to their own folder to make them easy to find. The reason it works for me is because I have a habit of checking my email but can never remember to open a to-do app.

    I really appreciate your videos, and how you share your thought process when you decide to pivot. I can see how content creators can get caught in being “experts” and not sharing this part of the journey but suddenly they are in a new planner. Thank-you for all your content in 2023, looking forward to learning from you in 2024

    Through this method, I have realized why the Hobonichi Weeks works so well for me and why I love it so much. It functions as a 4-in-1 system:
    1. Capture (all new tasks go into the task dump in one of the notes pages in the back)
    2. Task Manager (more urgent tasks in the task dump are moved into the weeklies when I am ready to do them)
    3. Calendar (using the monthly calendars to add events and appointments as I hear about them, then moving them to the weeklies every week so I remember what needs to happen)
    4. Notes (adding “collections” of notes in the back and adding index pages to find notes more easily)
    Thank you thank you thank you for helping me realize this! Now I know that I don’t need to buy any more planners because I already have everything I need.

    This video helped me sooo much, Rachelle! I was sttuggling with what to do for 2024, starting now, and was overwhelmed at all of the possibilities. Reviewing my current "garden" to see what was working (to cultivate) and what was not, or would duplicate an already working effort, or was just a distraction (weeds!!) was a HUGE change i ln perspective, mindset, and overall approach for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤

    I'm having a lot of fun catching up on your videos since I recently found your channel. This one sounds super useful for me right now! Just thinking about listing all my productivity tools... The number of notebooks, places for sticky notes, and different apps I've tried (Notion failed for me, rip). It's no wonder that I've been overwhelmed and unsure how to plan out my life with planner tools, since I've been using so many.

      @stationery-and-stories 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      This!! I’ve personally found what works for my family (2 adults, 2 little kids) is that I manage the overall task organization and write the weekly “common” tasks on a whiteboard in the kitchen. That way my partner can pick off items when he has brain space and it fits our temperaments - me organizing and him a bit more free flowing without me harking on him haha.
      But I’m SUPER interested in seeing/hearing other planners/organisers’ strategies bc I feel like there’s a better way of doing it 😅

    • @_myusika

      @@stationery-and-stories Love this! I kind of do something similar and have a joint iPhone Reminders list so I can write out the tasks and HOPE my husband checks things off. But it definitely relies on him remembering to look at it lol.. We’re currently trying out Morning Meetings to go over said to do list 😆

    Thanks to watching your videos I’ve decided to purchase a hobonichi weeks! I’ve looked at my past bujo attempts and found that while I love weekly layouts, I don’t always have the energy to draw them out myself. So I believe having a weeks planner coupled with some fun pens and stickers will be the perfect balance of function and creativity for me. I can’t wait for when it arrives!!
    Now as for figuring out my digital productivity tools… that’ll take a while 😂

    Thanks so much for this video! Do you do much weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly/other cadence (lol) review and planning? I assume the planning comes under tasks, but where should reviews live? I have a task and review app but it only lets you plan for today and tomorrow by design, so i use capacities to capture and store my longer term tasks.

    Yikes... I am guilty of using my email inbox as a to do list. It worked for me for a long time (I would only delete/archive an email once I had addressed it), but my inbox has over 500 emails in it now, so I'm thinking I need a new system. I love the idea of pulling from all these different places into one spot to look at.

    Going through this now before I set up my 2024 planners. I’m doing the work/personal systems separately. It’s discouraging how many systems are non-negotiable at work, and a lot of these are capture methods or different levels of task/project tracking. Plus there’s stuff that’s shared with the team/company and stuff that is for my eyes only. I think the best I can do is make sure all these capture methods (Outlook, Jira, bug trackers, Confluence, Teams, etc.) are migrated to a smaller set of task managers.
    Very helpful video, you have a lot of novel ideas!

    This is super helpful and helped me realise that even though I love the note taking app/program Obsidian in concept, it's just too annoying to use for me in actuality, and I almost never reach for it. Plus I've managed to delete like 5 other apps.
    I'm interested to know if and where a diary kind of journal falls into this, for example, I do morning pages a few times a week, and to me it's like a brain dump that I use to capture my thoughts, plans and emotions, take notes on them and set myself tasks, then I go through after and take the tasks and whatnot and put them in my planner. So I'm not really sure what it is, or if it's just it's own thing.

    • @kinseydesignsbrands
      @kinseydesignsbrands 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I do morning pages as well! I categorized it under capture, since I often dump the things I need to do that day in my stream of consciousness. Then I’ll move those things after the morning pages to my task manager.

  • @chocoboasylum
    @chocoboasylum 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Nice! This helped me figure out what the actual purpose of my different notebooks and journals are. I used a lot of them for note taking but now I've limited it to a couple different ones for specific types of notes, like short notes, long notes, stream of consciousness journaling and law of attraction type stuff. That focus makes it much easier

  • @shamzscrapz

    I find your videos interesting, I’m still trying to find a system that truly works for me. I run a business, a farm that we need for the business (think harvesting fruit, pruning trees, and the like) and I have calendars, diaries planners for each (and all) I really struggle with having one capture point for all of the things eg I may remember a business task at home at night, or remember I have to do something else away that I have to make an appointment for then scribble it on a sticky note and hope I don’t lose it. I am so scared I’ll forget things that I write them down in multiple places and multiple times 😂 I think the little pocketbook you carry might be the way for me to go to capture everything and then transfer or do when I’m at home (or work) thanks for all that you do.
