does anybody else spend more time watching productivity videos than actually being productive?

[ALifeofLearning]

I love how you talked about productivity as a form of self-care. Whenever someone asks me why I am so stringent with my planning and organization I always explain that I do it to avoid feeling stressed and a lot of people find that very weird but it is just what works for me haha

[jadensarchive]

this made me IMMEDIATELY go to my google calendar and change everything omg

Love the approach to calendar organization, especially task batching for productivity. To add to this, I’ve found boost app social invaluable for planning and creating social media content. It fits neatly into my time blocks, keeping my content strategy organized and stress-free.

Awesome aha moments for me:
- Setting daily, iterating themes
- setting time blocks vs tasks vs deadlines
- then following these schemes actually having the foundation to do task batching
- very limited and dedicated time slots for meetings, avoiding having all your energy getting eaten by other people

And I certainly want to keep the color schemes in the back of my head.

Unsure why but the concept of potato days just blew my mind. This video is FIRE

When you're on Google calendar and type "?" it shows you all the hot keys 😊

This is my first time hearing about this as self-care and it resonates way more with me than self-worth where usually my negative self talk resides which in turn created a vicious cycle of "musts" and "shoulds". Thank you for the shift in mind-set!

[AaronMClay]

I love this. I’ve been so afraid to have multiple calendars because I’m afraid of missing an appointment but this is so organized and calm. Very helpful.

[jhonellamaceren]

Now, everytime I look at my now cute Google Calendar, I feel more organized, and my anxiety lessens with the cute colors. Thank you so much for this!

[ellybelly]

I really appreciate how you spoke to productivity as self-care. Setting boundaries is so healthy for us.

[bybriana]

Thank you for the Hex codes. I'm so excited to make my colors less in my face!

[sarahspages]

def a lightbulb moment with putting the time block in a lighter color and a corresponding task in a darker color. loveee!

[ModupeOloruntoba]

another tip: click on any event or block to get the details to pop up, and in the 3-dot menu in the top right, you can duplicate the event. Great for making a single change to a series or for very short term recurring events

[OrigamiTree]

Interesting that you mention the colors first. I LOVE the loud default colors, it's one of the best selling points for me. I love that it screams at me. 😂

[julialeadodson]

This really helped me get organized!! Honestly, I've used calendars for years and never knew you could do this much with it. Love your organization content!

[kasenalane]

Okay this was helpful. Been meaning to fully set up a functional google calendar and the pretty colors have officially inspired me to do so haha

[francinem.]

This is soooo helpful! So glad i found your channel. Totally relate to approaching productivity as a means to make more time for self-care rather than pushing tasks to the brim to the point of not having a life at all. YES YES YES

[angelapatrice]

Yes! Love learning new tips and tricks for planning1 Love those hot keys and the additional time zone; much needed! Thanks, Jules!

[theehappysunflower]

This was sooo helpful, thanks for sharing your thought process Jules! Currently fixing up my G cal, and don't know how I've lived so long without simply task-blocking!xx
