🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛About me
========================
Hi, my name is Tina and I'm a data scientist at a FAANG company. I was pre-med studying pharmacology at the University of Toronto until I finally accepted that I would make a terrible doctor. I didn't know what to do with myself so I worked for a year as a research assistant for a bioinformatics lab where I learned how to code and became interested in data science. I then did a masters in computer science (MCIT) at the University of Pennsylvania before ending up at my current job in tech :)

u know she’s a programmer when she’s starts at index 0

[tacahs]

Finally, a video that doesn't focus on productivity apps and instead of just sharing a strategy also offers resources to build our own. Thank you!

Planning (Plan week on Sunday):
1. Brain dump every task you need to complete in the week
2. Separate these into P0, P1, P2, and dependent
- P0 is the biggest priority and P2 the least while dependent are tasks that you can’t do anything about right now and need to wait in order to complete
3. Schedule days and or times to complete each task

[donthaveone]

I'm starting to think lack of planning is the only thing separating me from success

[LukeBarousse]

Just when I think I have my life organized, I watch your videos and realize there is such a better way of organizing my days 😭

[kathy]

I'm creating positive baseline habits for myself and planning my week is one of them because I have quite a lot of objectives and goals for my life
I definitely relate to giving up and doing nothing for the rest of the day or even month because I feel like I have no control of my time
I've been planning and now I'm showing up.

[KenJee_ds]

Just added the productivity project to my amazon cart. Thanks for the rec!

[FruitfulPerspectives]

From experiment with several planning strategies, methods, and mediums, I can say with sincere certainty that every single thing you mentioned is important and helpful. The biggest thing is, as you mentioned, understand yourself; how you thing, your flow states, your awareness of time, etc. and then cultivating a system that feels right for you. This is definitely try and error so being able to track what works and what doesn't is key each week. I will definitely implement a lot of your strategies to my own planning routine! Great content!!! Keep it up!

[eliza]

Just as I was looking up planning strategies. Tina saves the day.

[SuncloudMashups]

I love how you keep the strategy simple so easy to implement and update, and then add more specificity only when it applies at a psychological/physiological level (like context switching time and scheduling important stuff when your brain is most clear). This seems like the most agile and efficient way to plan and work. I can't wait to try it.

[TheKaurajuoma]

Really like your videos! Good tips and also a good "down to earth" vibe, while still also being structured, focused and informative.

[arcadium]

this is really helpful thank you! it is very important to do something between big activities to let your mind rest and reset for a minute, totally agree

[hanhasoo]

Thank you very much tina for those tips ! I feel like i needed to hear that it is okay when sth goes wrong because first we need to learn about ourselves to understand how we work . Excellent job !! <3

[mellowhuang]

Same!! I am just searching on how to make a weekly plan then your video shows up, it is so useful, thank you so much Tina!!

[fille]

Your content is seriously amazing Tina! I learn so much from each video

[cocoiyeah]

Time, energy, attention and know when to break / adjust. This is GOLD! Thank you!

[cabigailss]

I've been binge watching your videos but this video was beyond helpful for me. I've spent the last 2 months feeling awful and stressed about using notion it's just soo overwhelming but I loooved your simple approach. Thanks!!

[dontstopfilming]

Thank you! I'm actively trying to change my mindset to track my study time and also eliminate these tendencies that you describe. This is very helpful.

[titatesta]

I loved this video Tina! It was really useful and it inspires me not to give up during the last 2 months of the year (usually, the end of the year is really difficult for me as I have already lost momentum). so THANK YOU

[LAL]

This is incredible! You have this fresh take on planning that I didn't see anywhere else on youtube
And you're a programmer so I know the tasks you deal with are similar to mine
