Hello, I am Sereca. I realized that no one gave a solution, so I decided to leave one. You could work on each category one at a time on a monthly basis. Each month, visit your categories and decide on the most important category. Write out how you plan to work on that category and do so for the entire month, journal your journey and findings, what’s working and what didn’t then track your habits in a habit tracker. The next month, pick the most important category and repeat the process but roll the previous category and keep on working on it, this makes the habits you build the previous month stronger. Repeat this process each month. If you have any questions about this strategy, I am more than happy to answer them.
Lack of motivation is a real issue. One thing that helped me most is that pretend like I'm motivated and start working immediately. Overthinking usually slows me down. After a while my mind actually aligns itself with the workflow and I want to keep working. So my answer will be: don't wait for motivation. If something needs to be done, we need to do that with or without motivation.
2020 really forced me to find an efficient planning system. I have watched hundreds of hours of videos related to time management, planning, goal setting and parenting. From books to articles and how-to guides, I am really grateful to have come across your channel. I must admit, at first, I was overwhelmed and a little intimidated but as I broke down each of your steps and watched more of your processes, I have found so many items that apply to me. And they really do force me to focus on each category. All the way from Johannesburg, South Africa, I would just like to say Thank you for taking the time to put the videos together and sharing. I love my Tul Letter cover and the journey of self discovery through each of these categories has been an amazing personal achievement.
The wisest thing that should be on every wise individual's list is to invest in different stream of income and don't depend on the government to bring in money especially now the pandemic is hitting the economy
This is a very helpful list. I am currently developing a Christmas planner for collecting info such as a card mailing list, recipes, favourite traditions and gift ideas. I like the idea of a gardening category as well.
You are soo awesome!! I am a 60+ woman and your energy and great ideas just give me such a boost !! Thank you for sharing your gifts with all of us 🥰 Libby 🥰
Thanks, young lady for your wise counsel, while I had the skills to do this, with no problem whatsoever, after suffering the last, of 4 strokes, I realized along with my wife, that it was time to retire. It was very important since I lost most of my memory, as a real estate investor, insurance agent, and owner of several passive business partnerships! Thanks for the simple tasks, that could save my family millions!
I mostly watch UA-cam on my television, so I'm not usually able to leave comments, but I wanted to log on with my computer today just to thank you for all of the wisdom you have shared this year. I'm still on my "get my life together" journey to get my schedule/budget/prayer journals under control, but I am in a much much better (organized) place then I was when I started this journey and started following you about 6 months ago. Not only have my stress levels dropped, but I'm actually having fun getting organized, which has been an unexpected surprise!! I'm just so grateful for all of the ideas you've shared. It's been hugely helpful for me. :0) So, thank you, thank you for sharing your life and ideas here on UA-cam. My life has been positively impacted and I'm grateful.
Very good idea to hold an extra category for the current „special project“ - never thought of it in this way. So: Thanks!! Fits perfectly to the 90:90:1 method.
Thank you for coming out with this series for Vlogmas. I’m a planner addict and I like all things organising. This video gave me ideas on what to keep track of.
I love how succinctly you explain in capsule form, how to organize one’s life! Such a Huge subject and you broke it down into manageable categories. Great presentation and I’m looking forward to your ideas on how to manage each one. Thank you for this video!
I have several and may need to separate a few of them. That may be why I am not as efficient in some areas as I had hoped to be. See you in the zoom room 🖤🧡
Sometimes you need to give more time to make money to pay the bills. It’s not time you want to give or enough money to justify the time spent however it’s what a person might have to do. When me and my husband drove hours for him to do an odd job of a couple hours, which cost us 10 hours of time that is not justified in time however it’s justified in having a roof over your head in tough times. I think this series might be for folks that got their schedule on tight and a dedicated schedule. I like the tips and all but you most likely would be telling me my time isn’t justified, you’d be right but I’m doing what I have to do.
I'm just now catching on to this series! Any chance you could number them 1-12? I can't figure out what's next 😎 I'm loving your advice so far and realize that because I don't have clear categories...I don't have a system to keep me focused. Thank you for this series!!
I love to organize organizing it's one of the things that I like to do. These are just three ways I like to organize myself I don't have a organization like a business organization dealing with more than one people that's not me.
Thanks for making this video. As someone with auditory processing issues, I would have been able to access this information more easily if there were captions.
Hello! Wich one of your planner do you recommend me to use. I want to do my personal accounting and business. But in separate planner. Can you tell me what I have to buy? Thanks!
What do you do with all your spiritual journals once you are done? I love this and so grateful to have found you. Looking forward to working through these
I love the Vlog I will be following each day. I am wondering if I could change some of the things listed under each tab? Like under the personal category, I included health topics and journaling? And work for me is shifts and I put it under my money? I am trying to create a good system for me to follow consistently.
I've been watching your videos for some time now. I love how you broke this down. So timely for where I'm at right now. Sometimes I feel silly cause this is how my brain naturally breaks things down.... Into categories. This video just helped me to be comfortable with me. Thank you!
When you say "organize" what do you mean, Elaina? Like put it on my calendar? Or have different notebooks and organize these things there? The only way I can stay consistent in looking at my planner is a STIL holder with a yearly calendar and do it monthly. I am trying to figure out a different way of doing it.
This is a good video. I feel so overwhelmed and like I’m going through my midlife at 38. My brain just doesn’t do what it used to. My brain just feels empty but there’s so much. I’m an icu nurse and a nurse practitioner. There’s just so much info to process.
Hey I love your categories but what about fashion that's a category and also self care that's also a category. I didn't hear you say anything about those two mostly I am feeling you're talking about lifestyle preferences. I know you deal with organization with money work business and I know dreams goals vision but is it all according to lifestyle preferences or life skill?
I'm trying to move out of my Dad's house within a few years and buy my own. I'm thinking of seeing how much paid vacation time rolls over into the next year at my new job and planning my vacation time around looking for houses, inspections, walkthroughs, and moving in
Okay I am back I really understand now mostly for me throughout these categories I really have to work on my health time I don't know about home work maybe money consistently but family know I'm a single woman really trying to keep everything together.
Super useful. many of the categories I had not even considered. Faith as a category I loved. Never had thought of it as a category I need to track. Thank you for making such an informative series.
I have a problem with the family area I don't know what to think with them this one because I am a single woman working but with no business but the good thing is I have benefits and living alone with no kids should I still work on the family area?
A sinking fund is where you save a set amount of money to go toward a project -whether on-going or a one time goal. For example, I put away $15 per month toward getting my piano tuned (once a year expense). After 12 months of saving, I pay the bill out of that fund. I also save $100 per month for car repairs-an on-going expense. The money builds up and if I need new tires or an oil change I “take” it out of that fund. Lots of categories to consider: Christmas, birthdays, projected school expenses, etc. I hope this helps!

Same. I started by picking the most important.....Time. Budget. Family time. Work stuff. Health.
Good luck on planning :)

Never thought of time as a life category as it makes sense that you can get back money but not time. This series is right on time, Alaina! 🙏🏽

Your videos are just what I need. Not the theme, I know, but I really have to say it: I love your hair.
Thank you! ☺️
The wisest thing that should be on every wise individual's list is to invest in different stream of income and don't depend on the government to bring in money especially now the pandemic is hitting the economy
you are definitely right , waiting on the government is a big waste
Investments are the stepping Stones to success especially if you been guided by a professional
Investing is good but investing in the right thing is the actual key to success . who is your pro ?
i trade with VIVIAN KLAINE MORGAN
There are so many investment out there but if profits must be considered then not all investments are good to go into.
This is a very helpful list. I am currently developing a Christmas planner for collecting info such as a card mailing list, recipes, favourite traditions and gift ideas. I like the idea of a gardening category as well.
This is a great idea😊

I need consistency with workout and gym and meal plans... need more control with time... I have time stealers and killers

Yes the number one time. I even joke when people ask me what do you want for Christmas? I say can you get me more time.
Thank God I found you :') this is exactly what I needed as an overwhelmed mom of 4! Lol
I have several and may need to separate a few of them. That may be why I am not as efficient in some areas as I had hoped to be.
See you in the zoom room 🖤🧡
I was LITERALLY just talking to my friend about this last night! I need this list.

Great suggestions and help for organization now I have to find the motivation 😭 Side not where are your shelves from ? I love them !!!
Missed the beginning - work calls always seem to happen at bad times. I'm glad you repost these. Sound is much better - thanks!
Would you say that your categories stem from your priorities?
Efficiently broken down, thank you!
Love love love this list! Organizing all of my planning, goals, and to-dos into categories helps me feel so much less frazzled. Thank you 💕
You are changing a generation with all this good information. Thank you
Great categories! I will be setting up for most of these. The first 7 for sure! Thanks Alaina!

Can’t wait for the rest of this series! Thanks Alaina!
GREAT vid, gonna use some items as sub under main theme's . Very well presented, Well done. Love and Light from Europe 💫
I again, I am wondering how do you manage 365 days per year with all of your sections ? You do it by week ?
I have three organizations one of them is health finances and spiritual organization.
I love to organize organizing it's one of the things that I like to do.
These are just three ways I like to organize myself I don't have a organization like a business organization dealing with more than one people that's not me.

This is suuuper valuable! Awesome!! 💕
So helpful! ❤
Please tell me what is sinking funds?
A sinking fund is where you save a set amount of money to go toward a project -whether on-going or a one time goal.

Thanks 🙌🏾
I need a buddy to do this with anyone?
Will you go over how to jot down book notes
Great Video!! Loved the categories!
Girl I need you in y life, God bless you
Great ideas. Downloading this video.
