Hi Quita. I'm not sure if I should call you Quita, or Marquita. Anyway, hi. lol I enjoyed this video. I did something similar last week. I only use a mini, and it is so chunky right now it is on expander discs. I wrote a daily routine for myself and laminated it. I keep it in the middle of my weekly pages that I am on. I started with a morning block, afternoon block, and evening block. I am also trying a new schedule to be more productive. I am now striving to get up at 7 and in bed by 10 or so. My daily routine has 1 hour of exercise in it daily, even if it is stretching, or whatever. Exercise always is the thing I don't get to in my busy day. So, after coffee, and wake-up time, I am allotting exercise time, get ready, blah, blah, blah. My ultimate goal is to start the day early, get that exercise done for my physical and mental health, and to be more productive. I love to plan and decorate in my classic planners, but I never end up actually using them. I ordered a B6 TN wide I am waiting on. I really hope my mini on expander discs will fit. lol
This is the first video of yours I’ve ever seen. By 0:03 I was like “This is the most soothing voice I have ever heard.” Your voice is seriously like a symphony of zen. Sorry, I know this is way off topic but I had to share. Lol
And generally....I dislike background music in videos because it distracts me (I have auditory issues) but I thoroughly enjoyed your background music! ❤️
EXACT video I was looking for!!! Just watched her video, and wanted to combine it with my planner; you did the “math” and art for me 😊👍❤️ Thank you SO much!!!
I used to do this all the time because I don't work well with the traditional 30 minute to an hour blocks... this worked so much better for me... I'm not sure why I stopped doing this, but after watching this, I'm ready to start again! Thanks for the inspiration as always!
I will use this idea to organize my cleaning schedule. I use an A/B schedule on what gets deep cleaned each week, so this would be perfect. In addition, I can list my am daily tasks such as make the beds, etc. List my spring cleaning tasks and outdoor work. I do still love the house template you previously showed us, so this could go on the back page. Awesome, thanks for sharing.
Ahhhh! Jordan Page is amaaazing! I love her! She has changed so many lives! Including mine! She has an amazing budgeting system too! Love this video btw! Thanks for sharing..
I just found your channel and love your calm, clear instructions and professional style. I’m a newbie Happy Planner and frankly I already made mistakes in planning my day, month, goals in different parts of my life. I’ve been using digital calendars and that didn’t work. Tried bullet journaling last year and that lasted less than 4 months. Love the Happy Planner because it’s customizable. I’m saw her video on block scheduling last year and thought of incorporating for 2019. I love your creativity, hope to learn more; thank you for your videos! I think this is the planner and the year to finally get more focused and better at time management.
My favorite statement: "I don't want to confuse myself and think too deeply about this." Haha! I like your ideas here. I think I may try a variation of it to incorporate a little more structure in my day, too. Thanks!
Thanks for taking a step out of your comfort zone. We used a 45-minute block schedule when I was a teacher. It takes a while to get comfortable. The trick is to consider tasks before laying down stickers. Me? I use stickers. Cool ones like the picture of a bible (bible study), Menu plan, me time. Move them around if you need to. Good luck
Hi, I just found your channel. Great video and you have the MOST AMAZING VOICE! You should reach out to the Calm App people to do a sleep story. Your voice is perfect!
Loved the video! So helpful! I love how you are so willing to share your resources. I absolutely love the the long colored lined strips you're using for the blocks. I've been checking all over your resources list but can't find them. can you tell me where to buy them? Thank you!
Wow! I love this system. I need to find a new system for my daily activities. I do faith planning but I need one for daily life with family and chores etc. Thanks so much! ❤️📖👍🏼 Beautifully done! I love the blocks! Where can I find the block paper?
I saw this about the same time you did and was totally new to Jordan. It made me curious if this might help corral my time better by accounting for squandered moments. I know my family would cringe to see me write that as they all think I could use to ‘squander’ a bit more instead of micromanaging like I do! I love this idea and plan on making a block sheet but, just like you, it will probably just be for reference initially unless it just JIVES with me. I am SO glad you tried this and curious how it will work for you!
I’m curious how your family might like you to “squander” more? Are they wanting you to give them more downtime? Or do more fun things together? We need those things too!
I can't wait to see how you like the block schedule. I love it and think you will make mold it to your way of "doing" that works best for you. Awesome video sis😀😁
New viewer here... Your background set is BEAUTIFUL. And you look gorge in front of it. Way to go on the artistic style of this vid. Made me want to keep watching. Your content was on point too. Just so you know, I found ya by searching “block scheduling.” Your template is prettier than Jordan’s and I love that you are showing us your process of figuring it out. So many people just show us the perfect and results and it’s hard to figure out for ourselves.
I have been playing around with the idea of block scheduling as well since seeing Jordan's video. I love the idea but I've been too afraid to commit, but I know I need to do something differently. Thanks for sharing your take on it. I'm going to try it out soon. May tag you on IG when I do.
Quita, your a night owl like me.😃. As I work out of the house, I’m going to try & set up a block schedule as well to get many of the things I want to accomplish done. Jordan is one of my fav TH-cam as well. Would like to see how you & others are doing in a few weeks.
Thanks for posting this video. How did block scheduling work out for you in the end? I just started block scheduling. My schedule is similar to yours in terms of level of detail. What I'm really wondering about is where to put and how to afford time for certain tasks that are periodic, seriously time-consuming but also not obvious in terms of just how much time they will take. Example: My hair -- definitely takes at least two hours to do and maybe longer on a wash day, if I color it and depending on the style I'm going for; similar question with a home pedicure of if I need to wax my legs. Where would I put something like that? Similarly, where to put something like calling customer service, my bank or credit card? Does something like that go in the work block? -- it's essential but doesn't feel like work really. Troubleshooting and maintaining digital devices and appliances (installing new software or hardware like a router, printer, or modem; figuring out why something isn't working, etc.). These always take way longer than I could ever anticipate. Which block would that occupy and how to afford for it. It feels like the block scheduling suits expected/planned tasks that take a known amount of time really well - but really unsure of how to accommodate these others.
Did you ever receive a reply? I went to the blog also and did not see a free printable. I saw one for $3.00, which I do not mind paying but the title says Free.
@@misstwists I didn't but I did find another free on at www.divoncreations.com and she gives credit to Quita for the inspiration so I hope it's okay to post her site.
You can try the free printable from Jordan’s video that was her inspiration for trying this system. That printable is on this blog post: funcheaporfree.com/the-block-schedule-system-what-it-is-how-it-works-and-how-it-will-change-your-life/.
Great idea, I can't wait to see if this works out for you! I believe this will help me in my planning journey! Loving your spread😍 T4S, many blessings💞💞
Does anyone know where to find the long lined list stickers she’s using on her block template here?!? The plain different colored strips she using , one for each day. I’ve been looking everywhere and can’t find where to get them. Would like to get them for my planner ASAP. Need them for planning my school schedule. Thank you. !
Do you still use the block planning schedule? I haven't been watching planner videos lately so i don't know if you still implement this or not. I would like to know how it's worked in the long run. Thank you.
Priscilla Acosta girl I had to change those hours. It’s shown in my new free printable. We’ll see how this all works out and I’ll check in with y’all next week
You have such kind eyes and soothing voice. Nice video. Just discovered you. Liked, subscribed, and am going to try to find you on Instagram. Have a day as sweet as you seem to be.🙂
Your makeup is so pretty!!! The block schedule literally DID change my life 🙌🏼

I implement this for busy weeks at work when my tasks take me all over the place. Love it. It heads has been working for me for years!

Yo!!! Your voice just lowered my stress level totally subscribing....love you
Your voice is so soothing. I’m instantly calm watching this video 😊 new subbie for sure. Love your planner! God bless.
yes!!! Love JP and her channel. I'm so glad to see your take on it. I need to do this because with 4 kids I'm struggling to keep on track.
Great Vid! I’ve been thinking that I needed some type of visual way to see all that I want to during the week...TFS!
Ahhhh! Jordan Page is amaaazing! I love her! She has changed so many lives! Including mine! She has an amazing budgeting system too! Love this video btw! Thanks for sharing..
Marquita your voice ROCKS
Awesome. Thanks for sharing I was about to do something similar but by color coding each task by block (if that made any sense)!! Love the spread.

I would love to see an after the pen to see how you referenced the block sheet when filling out your weekly plans. :)
My favorite statement: "I don't want to confuse myself and think too deeply about this." Haha! I like your ideas here. I think I may try a variation of it to incorporate a little more structure in my day, too. Thanks!
I just printed Jordan’s block schedule printable to set up in my planner to keep me organized! Thank you for this!
I already know this is going to help you so much. I watched the same video and it transformed my planning.
It gives you so much more focus when you are planning. Youre giving all the things you want to do a time frame to live in.
Love seeing your take on this. Your skin/hair/makeup look amazing. You are stunning.
Thanks for taking a step out of your comfort zone. We used a 45-minute block schedule when I was a teacher. It takes a while to get comfortable. The trick is to consider tasks before laying down stickers.

I love Jordan Page. I've been meaning to try out using a block schedule. Great video. Thanks for sharing!
This video was EXACTLY what I needed today! Thank you
Luv seeing you in the videos. This is my normal way of planning I always thought it was basic, but it works.
I have been struggling with doing block schedule on paper but I have been implementing it in my head which isnt normal so thank you for this vid
Loved the video! So helpful! I love how you are so willing to share your resources. I absolutely
love the the long colored lined strips you're using for the blocks. I've been checking all over your resources list but can't find them. can you tell me where to buy them? Thank you!
Your voice is so soothing! You should voice over yoga videos 😊
I second this! Lol
Right lol
Yes! I don't know if you've ever heard about ASMR (relaxation) video's, but you definitely have the voice for it! 😍
wyowin I totally thought the same exact thing!
I would listen to so many things in this voice! Maybe guided meditation or affirmations about self-love
Great Video! I always love when you switch up the content with lifestyle things as well! Thanks for sharing!
Wow! I love this system. I need to find a new system for my daily activities. I do faith planning but I need one for daily life with family and chores etc. Thanks so much! ❤️📖👍🏼 Beautifully done! I love the blocks! Where can I find the block paper?

Great idea! Thanks for sharing

I like this! It is a great idea! I may try it but I will wait until you give us your opinion after a few weeks or so.
Don't wait, go try it now and see for yourself.
I literally saw her video today! This is perfect
This is a very useful tool and it's easy to tweek it for your own schedule, love it!
I can't wait to see how you like the block schedule. I love it and think you will make mold it to your way of "doing" that works best for you. Awesome video sis😀😁
I've never commented on a video before, but your voice is incredible!
Oh my, I just found you... I could listen to your voice all day. Great content 👌
I just saw Jordan's video too and am going to try to block plan! I am just having a hard time finding how that translates into my HP.
Looks good but... What block is home schooling in? I know it takes up time too
Hi name twin! (my name is just Quita) . How did this work out for you? Did you add this to your weekly classic HP?
Love it! What a great idea! 👏🏽

I just love your voice
Do you still use this system? Did it work well for you? It looks beautiful!
Thank you!
Do you still use the block planning schedule? I haven't been watching planner videos lately so i don't know if you still implement this or not.
I would like to know how it's worked in the long run. Thank you.
I really like your voice!
Luxury is only having to work 2 hours a day. Can’t relate. 😅
How do you work little hours but find success?
