As someone with severe mental health issues the highlighting trick is EVERYTHING! My abilities in what I can do day to day varies so heavily, so it allows me to not feel guilty about not fulfilling all the promises I've made to myself

[StephanieRigsbykittymafia]

Honestly my favorite part of my routine is when I take time to actually fill out my planner. I feel so much more organized and effective when I check in with my planner daily but I don’t always get to do that as a working mama in school. When I do it feels like a reward in itself. Thank you for all the advice! I’m going to try to find ways to make my routine more fun.

My routine is very bad, I bath very late and I'm addicted to my phone, my life is basically falling apart

[lilianalfr]

I get right up and don't linger when the alarm goes off in the morning. If I linger, I get behind. I also give myself a time limit for media including such as this. The early morning weekends are when I give myself the most leeway. Good information, Paula!

Morning pages originally came from The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, for what that's worth! Wanted to reference the source.

I follow the book “ The Miracle Morning” first thing and then write down my intention for the day as well as the top 3 things I want to get done

I have been using the Habit Tracker pretty extensively the last few weeks in particular, when I need to be accountable for the things in my life that are important, but which may fall by the wayside with stress and forgetfulness. I'm excited when I get a full day checked off, even if I only did a task for a tiny bit per day (like picking up a guitar for 15 minutes). It does build awareness, habit, routine, and sometimes I miss it when I can't get it into my day. This is so important while we're dealing with being stuck at home, without outside structure. Thanks!

I love the idea of creating a PERFECT morning routine but then highlighting the essentials. That was a fantastic idea!

[KeepQuestioning]

I really like what you said about having a daily routine with a "minimal" routine highlighted for the more difficult days. I need to try that!

Recently getting an "accountability partner" has helped me with getting stuff done in general - it's been quite helpful in staying focused and also doing and sticking to monthly/weekly/daily planning. I'm starting to use the Passion Planner calendar pages a lot more often, and I like to use colored dots to mark on the calendar when I've accomplished each part of my daily routine.

Super video, thanks! :)

I really appreciated this video! I felt guilty for quitting FB but it has honestly helped with my well-being. I really need to work on adjusting my routine. I really like having a bare minimum for the hard days. Thank you!

[yzslobd]

Wow I never thought I could relate so much to someone else. I have some of those same habits and really beat myself up about it. I like how you shone the light on these things in a different way and offered tips to help alleviate the burden of those things. Thank you! I’ve been needing some inspiration to start in my passion planner. After I messed one week up I just put it away. Going to bring it back out.

[kyliewilson]

The part about having a bare minimum routine is extremely helpful also waking up to something you like sounds like a good reason to get up early as i strugglr with this

[bokangbk]

I always have a motivational video to watch every morning 4:30 so I get exited to wake up, plus drink lots of water before I sleep

[jacquitratongamanahaja]

I really love keeping the consistency of my daily routine. As long as I manage to keep it, I am getting stronger at sticking to healthy habits.

[luciduschick]

Thank you for discussing your struggles to create your best life! I appreciate your honesty so much! It completely encourages me.

[choerd]

Morning pages were coined by Julia Cameron of “the Artists Way” and amazing artist recovery book!!

[muhammedtawseefnoorjawad]

I think the first tip is the one I will start right now: Writing down at the back of the page what needs to be in my routine. So I will follow Tip# Compile Inspiration in the back of your planner.

[Sparkzzz]

I will definitely try to incorporate morning pages and Netflix in my routine! ❤️

i just ordered my new passion planner and i am glad for these useful videos!
