how I schedule everything (college, youtube, a LIFE)

some productivity techniques come and go... and then there are a few that I will live and die by, including CALENDAR BLOCKING (a.k.a. time blocking). Every Sunday, I sit down to plan out my entire schedule for the week so that I don't have to think about *what* I should be working on, but rather, how to do the best job on it that I can 😇✨ it's like going through the week on autopilot, everything just WORKS 🥳

After watching your video, I decided to start scheduling again in my calendar. Actually, I've stopped scheduling and have been using only to-do lists instead because everything I schedule doesn't happen most of the time due to bad mood, laziness, lack of sleep, unexpected plans, etc. Your video was really worth watching. Happy holiday!! 😁

We all appreciate the fact that you're a fairly organized and well-rounded person. May you continue to receive more blessings along the way.

I have adhd and as i told my therapist once, time blocking mostly feels like scheduling failure to me 😅 totally impressed with people who can live this way

1) I love that you use apple’s calendar instead of google calendar. Google calendar for some reason never works for me. I can’t change the colors or anything it’s weird. On the desktop too it’s so weird. 2) I started calendar blocking because of you. I don’t do it as extreme as you but I should lol

Can you do a notion tour? How are you structuring your notes?

[cassandralynnreads]

Your videos literally never fail to motivate me. As of late I've added more and more onto my plate, but haven't been implementing a strict schedule and your video helped with the motivation to do that! Created my trigger list and started planning (naturally on the week I have the most social obligations and the least amount of time) but at least I've started. Also side note, your videos also always inspire me to up my editing game, literally one of my favorite editing styles on YouTube hands down.

I love how you explain in a way that actually makes sense without causing stress. Your videos are actually inspiring to do something about the structure currently used to do things in life. I'd find it interesting how you tackle home work for uni and what sort of things you have to do if there's room for you to document stuff a bit to fill a video. At my university, in some modules, I have to write a report about conducted projects on subjects the modules focus on. Would be interesting to get to know what sort of things you do at uni.

I used to do calendar blocking to better organise my time beetween learning for school, and relaxing and having fun with my sister. But my sister didnt Like the Times ive set for myself to learn, BC oftantimes, she would want to spend time with me, when i wanted to learn, so she threw my schedule away, and i than gave up on this, until i watched youre video.

I started calendar blocking because of you ✨it’s honestly changed my life 🤭🤝

[devarni]

I once did the same as you and blocked the whole calendar with blocks ;) This didn't really help me to be more productive, but rather scared me when I saw my completely filled calendar.
Now I only block events and fixed times for the week. All free blocks are automatically my "focus time". I can see what I'm doing there in my task manager (Things 3). I also collect all ideas and tasks in my inbox there. I only do larger projects and planning in a note app.

Beatrice! I have been watching you for a while now! You were in high school when I became aware of your channel. I have started and stopped every 30 seconds so many of your videos, and this was another....even though it was a freshened up version of a previous video, it was so incredibly informational. The Parkinson's Theory?! Amazing! I also preordered your book, and I've worked through a lot of the books content. I want to encourage you to keep going! You're doing amazingly. I can't even fathom what I could have accomplished with my life had I started at 15 instead of 45!! Thank you for your content. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You're doing marvelously. And even when you're real and honest with us, we hear you and relate. <3!!!

[VictoriaLyman]

I have never totally understood calendar blocking and I wasn't sure if it was just because I am out of school & working a 9-5. but your video has inspired me to test it out as I find myself a lot of the time either avoiding me time or avoiding chore/errand stuff. thinking this might help me out :) thanks for the inspiration!!!

[amayramlew]

PREACH, girl! where were you for all my life?! your content changing everything - thanks a million!

[Scribbler]

Glad you pointed out that calendar blocking needs to be flexible and have the ability to react to your day-to-day life. GTD is great, but I don't know anyone who can adhere to it 100%. Lol. BTW, I much prefer your original method than something that integrates EVERYTHING.

And glad you're back.

Creating multiple calendars to separate personal, corporate, and YouTube work saved me so much time long term! I was also able to use it as a data analysis tool to show when I was productive most often, and when I needed to take breaks so I didn't burn out while working on my goals. Thanks for sharing these tips!

[sharongodinez]

Girl, I knew I needed you back in YouTube!
Thanks for that!
