0:11 - Woah! It must have taken you so long to create that motion graphic. How long does it take you to edit a video like this? It was so well produced 💯

iCal is such a nice software! I really enjoy all of these different kinds of calendar apps!

[kelliott]

Monday start weeks. Truly cultured. I switched over when I was using a Hobonichi and now starting a week with Sunday just feels weird.

6:15 You can add birthdays in the contacts app so it will create an all day event by saying how old the person is (if you add the year) 

I'm coming up on a school year that is infamously stressful and workload heavy, applying the concepts for your videos is basically the main reason I feel confident enough even attempt this challenge (as a recovering total slacker) thanks Beatrice!

This was so helpful for me! I like the idea of calendar blocking because I think it would be very helpful for me, as a very messy and forgetful person. I've tried to follow other people's advice of having a million different calendars for every single thing (one for eating, one for resting, one for working out, one for school, one for leisure, one for plans, etc, etc.) and I always end up giving up because I felt like it was too much work and lost all of my time planning this little activities and got overwhelmed seeing so many events and colours on the calendar.

have not been keeping up with my calendar blocking, but this inspired me so much i’m excited to try it again <3

[sanikakulkarni]

First! Love the productive videos and ilysm Beatrice!! ❤️

[MillaExplores]

This is great! I love using iCal for personal stuff but now I'm definitely going to just have EVERYTHING in my iCal including my business and work stuff, learning, time blocking etc. Thanks for all the tips! 😄

[KimYang]

Oh my goodness!! I so need to see this because it’s so therapeutic to be organised like this ❤️

[poeticprism_]

Really useful video, I like what you do with the mentor session calendar. I always find your videos, especially the planning ones very cheerful and calming. Thank you

[MrWarxhe]

Great video! For birthdays, you can add them in the contact details. There's a section for birthdays and then they just show up in your calendar and you don't have to do it manually like it.

[jermainenavarro]

I love the big rocks analogy, OMG! I never think of task that way

[ariva]

Thank you so much!!! I am definitely going to try this from today!!!!

[candicefoy]

This is really helpful. I tried digital planning in a PDF template on my iPad and it helped keep me organize plus it was cute/fun to decorate BUT if it's not in my iCalendar it's really not happening lol. So managing two calendars just doesn't make sense. Plus a lot of gyms, schools, salons, etc. are starting to integrate with iCal so def useful. Thank you for all the great tips!!

[shristigupta]

Yayyyy loved this video!! Aesthetics, tips, content! *Chef's kiss*

[oOlhysz]
