If you watch tiktoks steadily for two hours a day, then you will spend 672 hours in a year, which is 28 days. Therefore, it's like spending the whole February on tiktoks.. 💀💀💀

I realised that as a homemaker and a mother, I wasted a lot of productive time in deciding what to cook, navigating through my fridge and groceries. Now, once a week before my farmer's market day, my husband and I make this food planner where we think about the meals we feel like eating for the next week. So we know exactly what we are having for every meal. This has been a game changer for us! We stick to the list for shopping, bring in less and waste less. And also the amount of time we save with just this 40-45 minute exercise each week is unbelievable 😁

The first time I used a timer to clean up my room, was a huge game changer! I realized how little time it takes to make a huge impact in a space. Now I take 30min each day to organize some aspect of my space. It's been so good for my productivity

As a recovering procrastinator, time blocks really set me up for success.

Another Tip: spend 1-10 mins at night to set yourself up for the next morning! Ex: have your outfit picked or decide what's for breakfast. I'm often in a time crunch in the A.M. or feel lazy, but I worry about my outfit anymore bc I spent a few minutes to take care of it the night before :)

For me, I find it easier to start with the easy tasks and work up to the hard one. If I have 5 things to do in a day, and I get 3 of them done right away (because they were easy), then I feel more motivated and accomplished to keep moving forward. Plus, once the hardest thing is done, then there is less to do afterwards in total, so it is easier to relax! If I start with the hard one and know that even once I finish there will just be more work to do, it's much harder to get started. But, different things will work for different people!

I stopped watching tv over two years ago, started learning new skills, and cleaning the house. It changed my life.

I feel like crying!! I really really needed this! I hope I implement it in my life, I’m ambitious but disorganized so that leads me to depression cause I realize I’m not where I’m supposed to be. I also like the way she explains it in a good way without making us feel stressed like other youtubers

Setting up a timer when you do any task actually also gives you an exact idea how much time it takes to do it. I've often been pleasantly surprised to see that something I had been procrastinating forever actually only took 15 minutes and the next time I would tackle it straight away

Thank you so much....great information, I have never tried time blocking, it am starting today, I’m 73, been retired a long time....but am still busy and waste a lot of time. One thing I do everyday, is get up and get ready for the day, also clean up before going to bed each night. A good habit😊

[blissrenee]

When I make a to-do list I put down the estimated time for each task. This keeps me from procrastinating. For example, cleaning the house can take me forever to get started, but if it's broken down into 10 smaller tasks of just 5-10 minutes each then it's less daunting to start.

Similar to “Eat the frog”, I do things that make the biggest impact first. So when I’m cleaning my room I look around and try and identify the three things that if I did them, would make the room look better (despite all the other clutter) - normally this is making my bed! I find this motivates me because I feel like I’m making progress quickly!

I have literally just discovered time blocking for myself and got this video recommendation. It is truly life-changing. I used to do it on weekdays only, but I realized that having a plan B for the weekend works great - instead of relying on random things making my day I can fall back on a good plan actually not to feel like my day was wasted.
And I feel at ease relaxing during my “relax” timeblock.

mashaAllah great clip! I tend to use tips I got from sh. Muhammad Alshareef years ago on a Time Management course: 6 D's-
1- Deter - e.g. unsubscribe from marketing materials.
2- Delete - get rid of what you don't need.
3- Do it now - if takes 3mins or less.
4- Delegate - if someone else can do it and you can't.
5- Date it - note down date/ time of when you will action the task.
6- Drawer - store what you may need later e.g. coupons

On my best days at work, I find that breaking down a big task into smaller tasks to be more helpful. It's like time blocking, using a timer, but for smaller goals. Let's say I have to do a project proposal, I'd allocate 1 hr to come up with a concept, another hr to find references, and another hr for budgetting. If I cannot make it when a time limit for a task is up, I know then I would have to compromise on the other tasks, or I need to get help. Either way I can communicate it to relevant parties before it's too late.

I leave my phone in the bathroom overnight and set my alarm to wake up 30 minutes earlier than I used to. With daylight savings time in the U.S. it’s a great opportunity to take full advantage of the so-called extra hour! 😊
I do not pick up my phone when I turn off the alarm and I do not snooze. Apparently, Snoozing causes a loss of 2 to 4 hours of productivity each day that you go back to sleep.
I spend the first 30 minutes to an hour of my day with things that matter to me, I’ll give my time and brain space away to others soon enough for the rest of the day. It’s important to give me value first.

As a neurodivergent person, I really struggle with knowing how long a task will take me. I started time blocking a little while ago and found it really helpful. Advice to other neirodivergent folk, or people in general. Don’t feel bad if you don’t finish your whole task in the block you dedicated. And I like to time block on google cal, because then I can shift things around if things take longer.
Also, to add to the conversation, I set a timer sometimes, for tasks like cleaning, but I know that for work related things, it just increases my anxiety. Great tips. Thank you ☺️

I allocate house shores for weekends only, so cleaning the kitchen, laundry washing and folding, moping and bathroom cleaning, dusting …etc are done during the weekends along with grocery shopping and meal planning. This way I have the whole week to solely focus on my studies. I will try the time blocking method for my studies and see how it goes. Thanks for the tips ❤

[HellomynameisGuts]

Thank you Dr, imagine how much life you’ve helped us save as a collective. That clock must be crazy! If this method saves everyone who watched it a minimum of an hour, 170, 000 thus far /24 = 7, 083 days /365 = 19.4 years…. !
