I colourcode my blocks regarding energylevel - if they replenish (blue to green) are active but moderate (yellow) or are challenging or even draining (orange to red). As being post burnout this is very helpfull :)

You know he is genuine when he says, ādrop me an emailā rather than share your experience in the comments (to boost the algorithm)

For 32 years of my life, we lived by my husband's calendar. It was a paper book from the dollar store, but it worked. One day we had a scouting event, my daughter's birthday, and a scout dinner all at once. It was a crazy day, but everything got done. Now with my husband gone and my children grown, I am working on my own method of planning, so your video was a big help.

This is amazing. I grew up with this method because that's what my school in Portugal gave us at the beginning of every year. One A4 sheet with the whole year laid out with all our assignments and holidays on it. When I moved to the UK it was so odd to me that students didn't receive anything like this and I've been doing this for years now, specially in uni. Great video! More people should do this!
-
I need to watch this video periodically!! And thank you dear stranger on the internet that liked this comment so I could come and watch it one more time :)
-
Key takeaways: - Year-at-a-glance - sheets - Ideal week - calendar - Daily quests - work + health + relationship
-
Making time visible in this way is especially helpful for people with ADHD. Great video Ali

The comment section really reflects the open-minded, warm audience you are building Ali and reflects on how much impact you are having on peoples everyday lives, thank you!

"Time is our single most valuable nonrenewable resource. We can always make more money, but we can never make more time." Well said. These two things go hand-in-hand as well. If we don't know how to manage our time, then how can we make the time to make more money?
-
"He works with the CEO's of really high growth companies....and me" - come on now, Ali! Give yourself more credit. You are an incredible individual and I, (as well as thousands of others) rely on your inspiration and guidance in my life. I hope you see the richness and abundance in your life. <3

12:26 "I'm choosing not to make the time" makes so much sense. Every time when I make myself a new routine, I always feel overwhelmed and guilty because there is so much that I want to do, but I can't cause I'm prioritizing other things. Choosing not to make the time means I still have control over what I am doing every day and I'll make time for something else in the future.

Iāve always hated how so many time management methods require everything to be on separate pages where I can never see everything at once. I have terrible object permanence because of my adhd so planners were always the worst because of this! Iāve been using methods similar to this and theyāre the only thing thatās ever worked for me. Itās so amazing for you to make proper templates for people to use for those of us who have terrible organization but still need it to manage :ā)

āits not about being productive, but rather intentionalā needed to hear this
-
Can't wait to read your book! I love the fact that you mention intention everytime you talk about effective time management. That takes half the stress away :)
-
I cannot tell you the value I'm getting from your videos Ali. I will definitely be getting your book (pre-ordering tomorrow), and sometime soon I'll be joining your Youtube course. Everything about your videos is what I'm looking for from a Youtube content creator. I have struggled with personal productivity being a creative type, and just in a few days since discovering your channel things are starting to get better.

For everyone who is asking the calender app he uses is called fantastical calendar. Hope this helps! Edit: It's only available for IOS and Mac.
-
Thanks for sharing these, Ali! I find them very useful. Another benefit of "year at a glance" for me is, as an academic, sometimes I feel like I didn't do anything in the past couple of weeks as there is no outcome. But, seeing that I spent a lot of time in trying makes me feel good:)
-
Its not abt being productive in every hour. Its abt using our time more intentionally. Really love this perspective, thanks Ali!
