At the moment I need to share with you guys a brand new addition to my quarantine routine. Clearly it’s so bizarre to be in quarantine with out a set routine like most of us have been used to. Just lately on a solo podcast I broke down a ‘one sheet’ plan ( or checklist ) that’s actually been serving to me.
You might have additionally seen me share it on Instagram Tales & TikTok, however as all the time, I need to share issues that I really feel are actually useful on the weblog too. So right here we’re to interrupt all of it down.
So, I began doing this when quarantine began & all you want is a pen ( if you wish to learn about the most effective pen on the earth, scope this submit ) & a pocket book. You would get your pocket book from anywhere- what up Ceremony-aid- however I really like ban.do notebooks & planners.
Anyway, this new ‘one sheet’ plan actually units the tone of the day & simply helps issues run easily. Right here’s the way to do it:
How to Plan Your Day in Quarantine:
♡ Write the date on the high.
♡ Record out your podcast, e book, exercise & music for the day. For instance, sooner or later mine appeared like this:
PODCAST: Robert Greene
BOOK: Instruments of Titans
WORKOUT: P.Volve & stroll
MUSIC: TSC Felling Jazzy Spotify Playlist
♡ Then write down some belongings you’re grateful for. I love to do 3-Four issues & they are often something, get tremendous particular.
♡ Then there’s a ‘should get completed’ checklist. These are completely different out of your basic to-do checklist. These are non-negotiables that must occur that day.
♡ Write down the way you need to really feel. Sooner or later I wrote productive, humorous & centered.
♡ Subsequent, write down Three individuals you’re sending ideas & happiness to. It may be anybody.
♡ Lastly, your to-do checklist. Personally, I like to write down down 6 issues so as of significance. No matter doesn’t get completed is moved to my to-do checklist the next the day.
The final one is also called The Ivy Lee Technique, which we’ve talked about earlier than. It’s certainly one of my favourite productiveness hacks & actually makes all of the distinction.
Why I really like The Ivy Lee Technique:
♡ It’s easy, so it truly works. All you want is paper & a pen.
♡ Makes you prioritize. 6 is the magic quantity right here. Don’t overwhelm your self with 20 tasks- solely write down 6.
♡ Takes the guesswork out of ‘beginning.’ How a lot time do you waste ‘pondering’ about what it’s best to do first? When you have got a prioritized checklist, it’s clearly specified by entrance of you.
♡ It makes you SINGLE-TASK. You guys know I’m all about multitasking, however focussing power on one factor at a time can be massively vital.
♡ It could encourage a more healthy work-life steadiness. As an entrepreneur this may be actually tough so something that helps is welcome to be sincere.
To sum it up, this productiveness hack helps with focus, productiveness, retains you organized, & permits your mind to marinate on what you’ve completed.
Hope these quarantine planning ideas deliver you worth. If you wish to see extra of a visible, make sure to try my TikTok the place you may see precisely how I lay it out. & for much more of a breakdown you may try my podcast on the entire thing. Extremely suggest doing this, it makes a giant distinction.
Earlier than we go, I simply need to let you know guys about ban.do planners & notebooks. There’s simply one thing so nostalgic about them.
Like doesn’t it remind you of eighth grade? All prepared for the contemporary new faculty yr. You had simply shopped the BACK TO SCHOOL SALE at Staples & you have been tremendous proud since you scored the final sizzling pink, SPIRAL BOUND 2001-ish planner. Possibly you even carried it in your boring, black JanSport ( it didn’t matter that it was boring although since you had a kind of pens that may write on backpack materials….& should you have been something like me you had all your mates signal your backpack simply to maintain the backpack FESTIVE!). The purpose was your planner was PERFECT & FRESH, able to showcase homework assignments, faculty dance dates, & Stussy doodles. AHHHH I LOVED A NEW PLANNER. Nonetheless do.
Identical goes for notebooks. These ones are the proper measurement, they’ve a giant spiral which is KEY. Having the ability to take your pocket book & lay it flat, or flip one aspect over is right. They’re so excellent for this new quarantine planning, the morning pages, or simply for lists.
Anyway, let me know beneath should you guys do this. What have you ever been doing to set the tone of your day in quarantine?
