You should make an app for the block schedule system! Hire a software engineer to program it where the customizable block templates can sync with set alarms. I’d be interested!
I wish! Apps are SO expensive to have created.
That’s such a great idea- I would use it!
Jordan Page, FunCheapOrFree it would be cost effective if you made it a competition through your local college. The prize for the best app design could be a 1000.00 scholarship split between two semesters. I work in a college as an advisor and send these types of competitions to my students all the time.
Wow! That's a great idea, Iris!
I have my block schedule set up right in google calendar. You can color code everything, you can leave notes and you can use emojis in the titles so if I complete everything in block I can put a check mark at the start of the title and get the satisfaction of checking it off my list. I used to waist so much time using traditional planners but switched to google cal after watching Jordan’s videos and it have been life changing!
When I’m feeling unproductive I play the “commercial game”
I lazily watch my show until the commercials come on and I jump up and get as much done as I can for those few minutes! Hubby calls me once the show is back on and pauses it if I’m finishing up a task.
I work full time so some nights I’m so exhausted that this is how I trick myself into accomplishing things
@@virgola2126 If You watch UA-cam when and Ad comes up try not to skip it. I don't watch TV either.
This is actually a great tip that I might try! :)
Not a mom YET, but already practicing your tips in many aspects of my life! FAVORITE: went from $100 to $25 a week in groceries in January!! Thanks so much!
1. Use a paper “To do list” for tasks and google/online calendar for events
2. Use “The Block System” to plan the day
3. Use “The Microwave System” and do whatever you can in less than 5 minutes
Thank you Jordan! I used the block system in high school and college but I think it will be just as helpful incorporated into my home life as a mom. Thumbs up to you!
I wish I had tools like this in university
I need to tell my husband about the "garage" story :)
Raise your hand if you're binge-watching Ms. Jordan Page, feet up and not really doing anything yet :) :)
my grandma did a thing where she was swearing on the habit of no idle hands. she said if im going somewhere take something with me. like if you go outside take out the trash on your way. if you are watching tv do embroidery (we hungarians do a lot of embroidery) or if you are drinking /eating in other parts of the house than your kitchen on your way to the kitchen pick up a mug or bottle or plate or empty bag and throw it out / into the sink. if your family leaves clothes around just pick them up and put them in place as you are going ( the only setback for me that sometimes i forget why i went into the room itself for...)
Your energy is contagious and almost cured my depression lol
I'm not a mom but I always watch Jordan's videos because they instantly make me feel better!
Sam Adams Hahahahah, I love this!
So true! I have a 3 newborn and a 17 months old I'm already feeling depressed she gave me hope
Alyssa Williams Hope things get better for you. Hugs from afar. 🤗 I’m glad this helps you. It does for me too. More hugs.
Same..
"Just do something!"
Best cleaning advice for me, personally!
1. Have an online calendar and a paper to-do list
2. Organize your time with blocks system
3. Find little pockets between other activities and do little tasks in does moments.
YOu always get me pumped up and ready to take on the world, thank you! I am the paper gal!
Been using a block system for years now. My hubby created sheets for me to use.
I find that I get the best "work/life" balance when I use a planner. I make sure I schedule "me time" into my schedule so I make sure i get it done!
Also whenever I get a new task, or I remember something I had forgotten to do, I hurry up and "catch" it by adding it as an event in my calendar for that evening. Then every evening I make sure I go through the things I "caught" that day and schedule it in for whenever I am able to do it.
That makes me so much more productive.
I’m only a sophomore in high school and starting next year I’m going to cut some activities out of my schedule so I’m not as stressed. U really help manage my life a little better.
holy crap your block system just blew my mind and i am so implementing it at the office. block for placing orders, block for designing day-to-day flyers, block for whatever big project is on my plate. i've been focusing on the big projects and stopping repeatedly for the random daily things when they pop up and it's great for the daily things but making the big project take so much longer!!
Your simple budgeting system has changed my life with my busy family of seven
I'm so glad it has been helpful for you!
My great two tips from Jordan page: 1. Microway principles, 2. Never wait for a great junk of time to complete a chore. Thank you that you are here for us.
I love that she includes “me time”, because a lot of people do* forget to take care of themselves and pamper their spirits ❤️
This is one of those things I’m always reminding my friends. And I’m happy is brought up to people’s attention.
Thank you for uploading.
I've been doing your block schedule format for a few weeks, and it really changes how I feel about my day. I also use a Bullet Journal, which basically is the same thing (for me) as your To Do Book. I can't give up paper either! (HA! As I was typing this, my alarm to end "Creative Work Time" went off.)
Anyone else in high school?
I love Jordan and watching her organizing and budgeting videos even tho I still have years before my own family:)
Thats awesome, you will be the wiser for it!
Productivity and Time Management skills are awesome to learn in High School and College. I wish I could have learned these skills when I was younger.
Sahana K good for you ! You’ll be way more ahead of others !!
Thank you for giving nurses a shout out!! With a different shift every day, it sometimes feels like my life consists of only work blocks and sleep blocks :( Thanks for the tips!!
I like using small blocks of time to get things done. Today when I was putting my clothes away into my closet, that had dried on hangers in the laundry area, I switched the way I had them organized in the closet and it only took me 5 minutes. I can only work in about 15 minute segments because if I stand longer than that my back hurts. So I work for 15 minutes and then sit down. The next time I get up I do something else for 15 minutes. Eventually things get done.
I run a pasture based livestock farm and have an 8 month old...I was SO overwhelmed after she was born, trying to juggle her needs, the farm work and keeping my home. Block scheduling changed my life! Im so much more organized! Block schedules helped me prioritize and remember recurring tasks and showed me where I can schedule time for myself and for spending time with my husband! Thank you Jordan!
Hey! That's me in October, number one is due then! Where are you from?
Moms always need help with productivity and balancing life!!! So excited for this video!!! I love you Jordan 🥰!!!
I started doing a "block schedule" for myself when I was 12 years old (I'm 39 now lol) I have a.d.d. but didnt get diagnosed til i was an adult but I remember needing a routine when I was out for school for the summer. I do so much better with a *routine* great video 💜
I have the habit of reading comments while watching videos. Just surprised that it is not just me. Been depressed and then been feeling positive and now starting to pick myself up. Good thing I found Jordan Page. Thank you for giving the positive aura.
Awww!! I'm so sorry you've been depressed. Hang in there, you can do this!
*YESSSSS! Always need more advice from you, you are a super mom who is such a blessing!!! Thank you thank you for this video!*
LOVE this. I've been taking the minutes to do things, and it REALLY does make such a difference! It's been harder for me, as I sometimes have a hard time doing something if I can't do ALL of it at the time I'm doing it, but when I let that go and utilize the time I have, I get so much more done. I'm going to start block scheduling now. Thanks! Love your channel!
So happy to see you back making videos!! Love this video, so helpful! Thanks for sharing your great tips! 😊
LOL, I was totally doing math homework in my history class. 😅 but for real! Block schedules are THE BEST! 🙌
Even though I am a student, who has not left the house. I just love to watch any video that Jordan puts out. I love your determination and your inspiring life. Love your tips on life and family, learned a lot from you. Especially the envelope budgetting technique. Just love it, it really works for my life. You helped me get on top my fiances at such an early age. You are a Queen!! Love you, keep doing what your doing. And thank you.
That moment when you realize that “clean” is in every block 😭 and as a mom you’ll never get a break from that.
Right?! BUT you can get your kids involved in helping also! Here's how we manage chores for our kids: ua-cam.com/video/a4BCPBkGQmA/v-deo.html
Better than having a huge block of cleaning - ugghhhh - at least it’s broken up 👍🏻
I was feeling this HARD today with a 2 year old and 10 month old. They are always destroying everything
I watched your video on block schedule awhile ago. Loved it and realized It was as the best way to manage my day as a working mom. I literally use it at work to keep my time at work scheduled and remain organized as possible. I’ve been at my new career for a few years now and am training the new people in organization so they can have success. Thank you for your support and all that you do to help this community.
Been doing “Block scheduling” for years...just didn’t have a name for it!
Yaassss! She's back !!!!! I've been on a journey full of change for the last year thanks to your videos. Looking forward to what this new year has to bring ! 💃
This came at the exact time I needed it! Mom life, wife life and business owner life are all starting to collide together! 🤯 Thank you, Jordan! Love your encouragement and insights!
Where have you been Jordan... popcorn 🍿 and water ready!!!
Jamesetta Speaks 🤰🏻🤱🏼
You’re amazing! I never thought of my schedule in these terms. This has been super informative and life changing. I’m sure when my kid gets older she’d thank you too.
I love the 2-3 minute productivity burst. I’m using it all the time now and I feel like I’ve been so much productive! There are so many tasks that don’t take more than 2 minutes to finish!
I will be sharing your Block principle with my team of educators at work. As Educational Leader I get the ladies always saying the time management and productivity is hard when they have a class of children and needs being met. This makes so much sense and we can adapt this easily. Thanks Jordan!
I LOVE that 'get jiggy' is in your bedtime block! That is such an important part of a healthy marriage that is very easy to overlook.
Love this! You truly give the best advice, I’ve always felt like I needed long chunks of time to get things done, but no not true as you say. Another related productivity tip I read recently is, if you see a task around the home that takes 60 seconds or less to complete, do it then and there! For at work or bigger tasks, if it comes across your desk and takes 2 min or less respond/ tackle the task then and there. I think we all need to get off social media and use those 60-90 second windows to our advantage 💕🌻🌷🌺
Pleeease make more vlogs!! I’ve watched all of the videos!! It is so inspiring and nice the way you and your husband make your journey! I love to follow your ideas and routines so cool! You and your kids are amazing!!!
I just needed this video so much today. Not only for productivity, but because your vibes!!
I'm excited to try these tips! Especially the microwave principle -as a first time mom, I often find myself waiting for a big chunk of time and it can be overwhelming. You're a hero mommy!
The garage example really resonated with me. My boyfriend and I often go with "this weekend we need to clean", or "we need a day to clean". And of course the weekend comes and goes, since its overwhelming or life happens. This is inspiring! Thank you!!
I love your "block schedule"; It is very flexible, including the budget portion you did on another video. The concepts are very adaptable for ANYONE. I work nights for a hospital(No, not a nurse or doctor-- I am an accountant), So I arranged it to were I have basically your schedule but flipped. It's not really overwhelming... it's more so being blind to the answer-- everyone is wearing those rose-glasses!
I needed this in my life, I've been struggling with productivity and feeling down about it. Thank you for another great, helpful video.
While you were away, I watched your videos soooo many times during my "entertainment" block schedule. I love all your videos.
I love the block schedule, thank you for making a free printable 💕
I love the block idea, makes it feel like you have more time to get a bit more in and making more focus on the moment. Thank you.
can you please PLEASE do a video about your digital planning and google calendar?
and please also do a video about any organising/planning apps you have!
i think she has one already here ua-cam.com/video/WM-GkTpQ3oU/v-deo.html
it is the one where her an her husband show you how they plan their whole year but she talks about and shows a little of how she uses the google calendar
My Real Life Budget yes I’ve seen it thank you :) I would just like a bit more of an in-depth into that
Yep I'd love to see that
Omg!!! I needed this!! The blocks😍 great way for me to start thinking because my mind is always thinking of what I need to do next. I'm never living in the moment. Thanks so much for this Jordan ❤️
I use your microwave strategy all the time now and it is golden! Stops it all from seeming really overwhelming when you break it down like this
loved seeing you with the Gardner quad squad on your trip to my beautiful country. Probably not the best season to come as the weather is blah...but still..happy to see you are having fun. I can't wait to see your vlogs on Greece. Καλωσήρθατε....Kalosirthate....Welcome to Greece
I was so excited when I saw how long this video was! 🎉 Girl I could totally watch you for 20 hours! You're the best!
Thanks for the tips! I just moved houses and towns and I'm battling the overwhelm of unpacking and setting up a new daily routine here! Time to get back into block planning :)
Amazing tips! Especially love the block system! I think having longer block lengths (like 3-hour chunks) is key when having an infant/younger kids you're taking care of so you can pause to do necessary diaper changes and things while still working on the tasks you want to do in that block. Thank you so much for sharing!!
I’m watching this! Being an ADD mom of three, one with special needs and things going on every day, I can’t keep up. I’ve been using the Cozi organizer, but still difficult for me to stick to.
Such a great lesson, ‘Do what you need to do more efficiently, so you can do what you want to do more frequently’ Yes, I agree! 💕 Love that!
Love it and you. Anxiously awaiting the new planner!!!
Thank you gorgeous for changing my life for the better x I was a complete MESS before I found you, angel xoxo wishing you, your family and your channel all the best x
Yes! I've been waiting for your videos!
Your productivity tips are some of my favorites! Thank you!
THANK YOU for this - putting this motion in the AM! So many nuggets! THANKS MAMA!
You are changing my life one video at a time! You’re a Godsend Jordan!!!
Brilliant analogy on the H.S. schedule! I love all 3 tips though, and can't wait to try them all! GREAT VIDEO!!!
Wow! that was AWESOME Jordan. I love the block system and will be trying out soon. It makes sense. Keep up with your great videos. Your energy is inspiring. Stay blessed
Ummm...how many thumbs UP can I give this? Thank you so much for your advice. I am a Primary chorister, Montessori music teacher, Interior Designer, student, wife & mom of 4 with a big house to keep up with. You have SAVED MY LIFE! Thank you!!!
I LOVE block scheduling!!! So many people think I am nuts for scheduling that way because they have never heard of it before. I have been doing this for 20+ years. It just makes my life so much easier to maintain and keep everyone in my lifes schedules better organized and get so much more accomplished because I am LESS distracted!
I love the block idea!!
Love all your content Jordan! Always so helpful. I need to practice the Microwave Principle more!
Another helpful thing that can be added to the to do binder is making a done list. Others have done this and I have done it many times over the last few years and it immensly helps me track everything I have gotten done and helps me feel WAY more productive!
Tip 2! Oh my goodness. When I was trying to choose a planner I realized I loved the planner I had in HS bc it was time blocks!!! Totally agree with you.
My family uses Cozi for our calendar and meal planning, grocery lists. Love it.
I need to meet you in person. I need to give you the biggest hug. You have changed not only my life, but my family’s life for the better. Your absolutely amazing and I can’t thank you enough.
So many great tips!! This is amazing :)
Okay! I'm trying it! I'm a SAHM with really "fun" MS and we home school our awesome kiddos, and I think this would be really awesome for me/us! My husband works second shift and it really messes me up, but this might be a way to figure out how to overcome it. Everyone just needs to stop getting sick now. SO over this season. Thanks for the tips! I'll be watching some more videos on it....right after I get the table cleaned off and reading done! LoL
This is very motivating to organize my life and get things done! Needed this today, thanks Jordan!
Jordan!❤ my hubs and i switched to the google calendar sync when you mentioned it in another video. Love it and it has made life so much easier.
You're an inspiration especially being able to be on those shows. I love those shows you mentioned.
Hey Jordan. I like your video. The block schedule is a great system. Many moms who homeschool their kids use it regularly. Glad to see you are sharing it with people.
This is great!! 6 kiddos....I love it! We have 5 and I love watching other large families!
So glad to have you back!
I just love your energy and your segment are refreshingly relatable. I am a mother of four, but retired now and my roles being a grandmother. So I am following your budgetary clips, your household clips and grocery clips and trying to adapt to a one person household. If you have any tips, I would welcome them.
We LOVE you being back! Missed your face whilst you were busy mumming you newest cutie tootie 💕
Good tips! I used the block system for my family some years back. After watching this I may start it again. Thanks
I love my cozi app for my family's calendar, etc.
I love your videos. They're so motivating and inspiring. I am definitely going to try this!
I block schedule my work calendar, it works so well! Must try harder to block schedule my home life too.
LOVE MY GOOGLE CALENDAR - I USE THE COLOR CODING, TOO! :)
Ok, I've watched this video maybe 4 times and I'm not sure why but it JUST NOW CLICKED that I need to implement your garage cleaning suggestion. You're so right. I keep saying I need a weekend to clean the garage, knowing dang well If I have a free weekend ---I'm not cleaning SH*T! But, if I just pick up and do a little bit each day, it will get done sooner than me trying to find that one weekend (that doesn't exist). Also, as you were talking I saw my son on his tablet watching kids playing video games on UA-cam *wonder where he got that UA-cam binge-watching from?* HA - I told him to pick 10 toys to donate and put them in the donation bin for $1. He damn near knocked me over to get out there. Thanks for the tips.
You're back!!!👍 I became a Mum in May & love your channel, I'm learning so much from you! Lots of love from Australia 🌺
I watched your block by block video and was confused but what you said on here really helped more. Thank you for this video
Thanks Jordan!!! I absolutely LOVE your videos!!!
What a great way to look at scheduling our day! I need to implement this asap!
I LOVE that block schedule tip! so ingenious and i just know it’ll help me a lot! thank you!!!! 💛
You are a great inspiration, I'm obsessed with your videos....keep going
Totally going to try your approach. I have seen so many videos & read so many diff articles w/ tips & advice, but this is the I’m excited to put into practice. Need to watch your utter video since I do work full-time. Thx😊
So thankful for you! You encourage and inspire and motivate and never fail to make me smile! 😁💕
Makes so much sense. Thank you. I am Defintely trying the block schedule
The block schedule is amazing!! helped me get way more done than I even knew I could
