Hey Guys! Today's video is a reading plan with me! We are talking about the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. This book was phenomenal!!! It really gave me great insight on building habits and I wanted to share how I am planning on using the tips from this book to use my planner more effectively. Have you read Atomic Habits? Were you blown away by it as much as I was?!
This video was so fantastic! It really explains for me why planning has turned my life around so much, and that small incremental change has been able to happen like you mentioned 😊 Chock full of inspiration and great tips, so great to get a sneak at clips of you planning too! Many thanks 🥰
Atomic habits 1-Get 1% better everyday 2-Focus more on systems than goals 3-identity (change your inner who) 4-Small routines impact your life 5-Measure your progress
I love listening to her videos when i don't have any motivation to get things done or even get started like cleaning, dishes, laundry or anything else. It's so calming to me and gets me going i love it!
I haven't read the book. I'm adding it to my list. I'm one who struggles with organizing my time and my space. I admire you, your work and your drive. In my mind I organize things to look the way you do it, but I struggle to keep focused so I'm always creating piles of messes before I finish one. Not sure if you've always been like this or if you built it at some point in your motherhood. I can't pay for profesional services now so I have to do everything myself, the cleaning and the organizing, so I need to figure something out. I'd appreciate a video on your routine to stay organized. I'm working on creating systems to work more efficiently to complete tasks in less time. Thank you for everything you do ❤
@Slash blue I identify with you so much!!!! I even stopped watching planning and organizing videos because I was just watching them and wishing I could do it. I tried and tried and for a few weeks it would work but then I would get busy, my schedule would change and I would forget in business for even look at the planner! 🤦🏾♀️ I am currently working on getting better with this but I feel your struggle. Keep at it and I will too.
Just come across your channel - your planners are so beautiful! You have inspired me to create a paper planner this year rather than digital. Thank you for your amazing videos xxx
This is a very helpful summary of the book! I have ADHD and have been reading this book while I try to get into a good planning system. Your examples that you give throughout the video, and seeing you work in your planners at the same time is super helpful. I wish I could keep as many beautiful planners as you do haha, I'm struggling with just one!
I started this book a long time ago and never finished it - it's now come up every day for nearly a week so I think it's time to get it out and read it. Loved the takeaways and implementation ideas.
I agree, this is a great book and I've shared it with family and friends. Also, Who Moved My Cheese is a good book you can read which also talks about change and habits.
I have been waiting for this book to show up at my local Salvation Army bookshelf. !0 cents each ! It has yet to happen. Thanks for covering it here. I like the i% habit. I also have a health planner. The one about inner identity is truth. You broke all of these habits down into common language that I can use. Thank you.
Me too (well except pastors wife) I like pen to paper organization. Im not big on apps to help. I like to write things down. I just planned my week with my LOA planner. I think I will get a Happy Planner for 2021, but im not sure which one, there are so many. I think im looking at the Best Mom ever and the Homebody editions.....too many choices. lol
For the last four months I have routinely and consistently been using my budget planner. I’m now thinking about other types/topics of planners I can introduce into my life. Thank you for the inspiration and guidance, I have enjoyed all your helpful videos🌷🍃🌸🌿💖
I’ve never heard of this book. It sounds very helpful. I feel like your videos help me get 1% better each day. I’ve developed habits that I hadn’t ever thought of since watching your videos. I’m wondering the writing you do in the videos to provide instruction, what do you do with the papers? Do you keep them in a planning or teaching planner? I know what you mean about gaining weight since Covid. I had gained weight early on but have since lost 20 lbs. I’m working on another 25.
It is so amazing that I came across this video. I had purchased and even began listening (audible) to the book but fell off it somehow...Thank you for your video...going to make it a goal to complete this book
Hi, Loved this! And I loved the book the 'Atomic habits' soo helpful! As life can always seem so overwhelming! And I can feel soo bad if I'm not doing 'everything' I think I should, but even if I get a little bit better everyday, it makes for a better life!
thanks for the book recommendation. I hope its on Audible. Side note i really like the stickers you are using. i am thinking about getting a Happy Planner for 2021. I need to focus on positive automatic behaviors for sure. 🙌
I agree! I read this book a few years back and it is TRULY, HANDS DOWN the BEST book on habits I have read. Thank YOU for doing this video and breaking it down. It is very helpful and I am taking notes again :)
Great Video!! Question!! So I’m just starting this. I am going to use a filofax planner platform, I used daytimers for work when I was a manager and am used to the format. So I have as many areas as you to track and organize. My question is would Using tabs and creating sections for each of these to all be in one a manageable solution. I use a field notes book to track things through out the day for a month at a time so it’s portable. Then the idea is to transpose this into the sections of the main planner.Advice?
Hey! Yes. I like having it in one place because you know you have everything you need in one place. It makes it easier to have access to all of your sections.
Hi, thanks for the video! Love it so much. Can i know, how you track your progress for different aspect such as financial, health and work? How you put it in a planner? Are you separating them into specific division (Finance/Health/Work) or you just put all of these categories in your monthly planner? So each month you will access all that categories simultaneously?
You know, that you have to know, what your basis? 1 % from nothing is: nothing. Why does everyone hypes a book, because everyone hypes it? That does'n means, thats a good book. And one or two good ideas doesn't make a good book. Only, a good idea in a book of - how many pages? 200? 300? It sounds like "waste of time" ... And the big question is: WHY should I be better than yesterday? Why? I want't! I like to eat good food - and I like to eat "bad" food (whats "bad" on food? Only too often too much). I love to stay in bed and I love to get out of bed bevore sunset. I'm a human, not a machine and not a slave of capitalism. I havn't to be perfect oder better than perfect. I have to be a human beeing. And that means, I have to be human: to love, loose, fight and let go. I have to live my live and - sometimes - make the live of others a litte bit better.
Hey Alaina, question: Does OMAD really help with weight loss efforts? I remember seeing you write it in your Home Planner. I had a dream about seeing the word "OMAD" in my planner last night and just saw this video where you spoke about weight loss.
Thank you for sharing this book review! I definitely need some help creating better habits. Where did you get your calculator? I love it!! Your handwriting is so neat!
So excited for this video, I’ve been reading the book and am wanting to see how people are implementing it. Also, GREAT use of the squad goals stickers! I’ve always been stumped on how best to use the leaf garlands and those rounded squares. Love it. Also kudos for using older stickers-new ones are great but I would prefer to see how people cycle through what they already have. 🌻
Have you read 'The Power of Habit' by Charles Duhigg? If habits are interesting to you it's a great read! I found Clear's book to be amazing for the practical application of that knowledge: how habits are formed and why they can be challenging to disrupt. Awesome video!
Great video. I really like how you talked about how you applied the information. I actually have the book but haven’t had a chance to start reading it. Reading more is a habit I want to create 😂
your voice and explanations are so smoothing and calming! your videos are really interesting, i love the content, it makes me wanna really get at it :)
I really enjoyed the flow of this video. I listened to Atomic Habits on audio in 2019 and purchased a paper copy to refer back to. Your video reminded me its time to refresh all the great info in that book. Thank you!
I love my people. Let’s stop saying things are hard, it’s difficult or it’s a struggle. It’s really not. All it takes is a shift in perspective. How you look at what you are doing. The task is quite easy. It’s takes some work shifting your perspective about it tho. There that’s task. I like to say work or task. Not hard. Saying something is hard will create barriers for myself.
I loved that book too! I completely agree with the small steps to build your identity. Really working on that action step. I also really loved how you repurposed this planner to record your takeaways. Definitely doing that with old planners!!

I just saved the book to my Amazon Shopping 🛍 List! Thank you, sounds like a very productive read!
Thank you for sharing!
Yes I’m reading it now and loving it!
Yes! I listened to it on Audible and it was so good I bought a physical copy!
This video was so fantastic! It really explains for me why planning has turned my life around so much, and that small incremental change has been able to happen like you mentioned 😊 Chock full of inspiration and great tips, so great to get a sneak at clips of you planning too! Many thanks 🥰
Atomic habits
1-Get 1% better everyday
2-Focus more on systems than goals
3-identity (change your inner who)
4-Small routines impact your life
5-Measure your progress
I really like when you do videos like this!! Great book review. My take away from this video is to : Make Progress a Habit. Thanks for sharing!!
I just found your channel! and your voice is so calming and reassuring. Like it tells me "everything will be fine"
I love listening to her videos when i don't have any motivation to get things done or even get started like cleaning, dishes, laundry or anything else. It's so calming to me and gets me going i love it!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your book reviews using your planner! Your application to your own life makes the review so much richer! Tfs!
Thank you!! ❤️

Thank you!! I was pretty organized when I was younger but I definitely got better as I got older....

What you said about focusing on the system instead of a specific goal 🤯 I really needed to hear that.
This is a very helpful summary of the book! I have ADHD and have been reading this book while I try to get into a good planning system. Your examples that you give throughout the video, and seeing you work in your planners at the same time is super helpful.

I started this book a long time ago and never finished it - it's now come up every day for nearly a week so I think it's time to get it out and read it. Loved the takeaways and implementation ideas.
How about I just watched “The Potters Touch” this week and T. D. Jakes was talking about that we need systems to live our dreams. CONFIRMATION.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I gotta watch it!!
I enjoyed watching this video so much! I liked to see you work in your planner. It's so satisfying ✨✨❤️
I agree, this is a great book and I've shared it with family and friends. Also, Who Moved My Cheese is a good book you can read which also talks about change and habits.

I"m so glad I found your channel! I work full-time, am a pastor's wife and have a TH-cam channel. It's so hard for me to keep things organized!
Me too (well except pastors wife) I like pen to paper organization. Im not big on apps to help. I like to write things down. I just planned my week with my LOA planner. I think I will get a Happy Planner for 2021, but im not sure which one, there are so many. I think im looking at the Best Mom ever and the Homebody editions.....too many choices. lol
That book is my to get list. My Financial coaching group and I we have chatted about it. Can't wait to read. Thanks for sharing.

I love your videos! I've used a few of them with my students before. Thank You so much for offering these videos.
Just love your handwriting! :) Great video!

I’ve developed habits that I hadn’t ever thought of since watching your videos.

Currently reading this very book. It is very good. Great idea.
I have had Atomic Habits sitting on my shelf for a while now. I think I need to move it up my tbr list! Thanks for this video! So helpful!!
Your planner setup is my dream come true! Thanks for sharing with us!!
This was very helpful. I have the book, but haven't yet read it.
My church leadership team recommend that book to us. I am currently read it now.
I am currently reading it, too! Love the review, thank you!
I do you like the book? I listened to the audio book on TH-cam
@@questionresearch8721 I have been lazy on keeping up with my reading. So far from like what it's says about small habits moves
It is so amazing that I came across this video. I had purchased and even began listening (audible) to the book but fell off it somehow...Thank you for your video...going to make it a goal to complete this book
This has become my favorite TH-cam video. I watch it at least 3 times a week. My top goal for 2021 is to be 1% better every day.
Very interesting, I am trying to improve myself as well and this video has touched several interesting points. Thank you so much!

Ok first of all I love your handwriting!!!! This was such a life giving video!!! I’m going to add Atomic Habits to my audible right now!!!
Motivating and how to keep momentum. Thank you young lady. I appreciate you.
thanks for the book recommendation. I hope its on Audible. Side note i really like the stickers you are using. i am thinking about getting a Happy Planner for 2021. I need to focus on positive automatic behaviors for sure. 🙌

I am also planning a PLANNER 101 series. It's going to start on December 1. :)
I love that you used the bike sticker alongside the quote, like the anecdote about the cyclists getting 1% better 👍👍

How much do you spend on writing your planner everyday?
About 15 - 20 minutes
I am currently reading this book. And I am truly enjoying it.
It’s a great book!!!
Thank you so much for this video! Thanks for all of your videos. Your videos have truly helped me rethink and reorganize my life. ❤️❤️❤️

Hey!! Yes. It’s been a great way to maintain weight. I had a low carb diet to lose the weight and used omad to maintain
@@TheOrganizedMoney thank you, Alaina!
