I think you presented Dana K White's method very well.
Thank you!!
Step 4 - Take it there now - for scheduling and/or tasks - quit kicking the can down the road - do it now especially if it will take moments and the angst of not doing it hangs over your head. Reminds me that I need to pay some bills online so I am off to do that now
Pay those bills! Take it there now! I love it!
As a Dana K. White fan, and a person who constantly wrestles with my ToDo’s, I was going to suggest to Dana that she apply her method to managing time for those of us who have seen the power of her decluttering method… and now YOU figured this out for me! I am really grateful for your creativity and you have a new subscriber 😊
Aww, that’s great to hear!
I have binged some of Dana's decluttering system videos.
Here's an idea to use step 4:
Dana's step 4 questions are:
• Where would I look for this first? Take it there now.
• If I needed this thing, would I remember that I already have it/them (or would I forgetfully go buy it/them again)?
How you can apply step 4 for tasks or appointments that need to be planned and scheduled in is: "When might I best be able to do this task or appointment in my day/week (energy, focus, busyness)?" Schedule it in there now.
Oh, dang! I love that! Thanks for sharing!
This was a perfect breakdown of her method. I have been using Dana’s methods in my house for about 2 years now and it has made a huge difference. Now I’m trying to learn to apply it to my scheduling, just like you’ve described.
Yay! So glad to hear it's working for you!
I'm a Dana fan, which is why I clicked on this. Interesting idea to apply her process to calendars, time management and productivity. Will definitely give it a go! Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful! thanks for watching!
Love Dana K White's content. And she is fun!
Heheh, you appeared in my feed since I've been bingeing Dana's videos. 🤣 I think we can apply part of the step 4 decluttering questions, at least. Remember, some of us have things we need or want to do and haven't scheduled time or found a place it fits in our routine. But we do probably instinctually know the best days or times to do that thing. Like for me, some of my daily self care practices are far better done in the morning because 1) that's when I have more time in my personal schedule, 2) I get a boost prioritizing my own wellbeing instead of a drain knowing I still need to get to those things, and 3) the practices themselves make me feel better for the rest of the day. So for those of us who have todos that "have no home" it can make a lot of sense to ask this question.
Ah, you're right! We can definitely ask "where would I look for this first?" For you, you've "looked for" and found (!) those self care tasks daily, and in the mornings, for the three reasons you lists. Thanks for pointing that out - I'm sure that resonates with a lot of folks!
I found your video interesting and thought-provoking. I'm a big fan of Dana K. White's methods (except for "Laundry Day" LOL). The ideas that drew me to use her methods are "No mess" & "Progress and only progress". As you can imagine.....if, at any point in decluttering our schedules we were interrupted, we have already deleted "trash" things that were scheduled and maybe some easy stuff was delegated to others. Even at this point, the container of our schedule is more comfortable and usable.
Thanks for watching! Yes, progress and only progress is great - pretty unique among decluttering techniques- it seems way more realistic than other methods.
All good stuff. A tip from one of the other declutter-ers I watch: develop the habit of maintaining the new system. It's not just declutter once and you're done. For the household, an example is to wash and then put away clean dishes every day. For time and commitment purposes, that would be a regular habit of monitoring the schedule and being alert for the changing circumstances of life. Prune out or revise what no longer fits or is necessary.
You're not alone. I do love good decluttering vids! :). Danas videos really kept me motivated during my 1st phase of decluttering my storage units.
The first time I heard Dana's 'container method' it completely blew my mind. No more guilt. As for 'Take it there now', I think you covered that one when you talked about passing off a job to someone else. This is a great way to look at life.
Right? The container concept is so obvious when you hear it, but until you do, you keep thinking‘oh oh I can fit more - i just need to get my act together. ha! nope, it’s the container!
Yes...don't do what you can delegate! 😉
Some interesting thoughts! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks! It’s fun to play around with this stuff!
I know that it's easier for me to clean out your closet then it is for me to clean up mine
Wow! Thank you for this! I am easily overwhelmed by my calendar and everything I THINK I need to put in it. Not every minute of everyday needs to be filled.
Right right! Not every minute of every day needs to be filled - your calendar “clutter threshold” may require you to leave more open space. Hard to do when there are so many forces telling us otherwise!
Brilliant idea! I really love the idea of applying decluttering principles to time management!
Glad you liked it! It's a fun idea to play with, eh?
I loved this. I think step 4 probably would be in a different order in schedules because it's where would you look for it, but in a schedule is more about when would I do this or something like that. It seems like it might be more of a first step or something. I love how you look at it. I actually really liked the final step and looking at the reality of do I have more of that category that fits in my week.
Right - doing it in a different order might make sense- good suggestion!
You mentioned that ah ha feeling when you accomplish a goal or a task…. Yes it’s real!
Indeed!
Yes my insecurity is getting stuffy
Take it there now --> immediatce... or "do it now" what can you easily knock off your to-do list by just doing it 😊
OMG! Of course. Of course!
