1. Morning pages - Write down your thoughts first thing in the morning before you do things like email. 2. Drink lemon water 3. Do not disturb time - Use the do not disturb option on your phone. Amy suggests doing this in the morning to help start off your day productively, but she finds if she leaves it on the whole day she gets even more done. 4. Calendar block planning - Do this at the beginning of the week and tweak it the morning of if necessary. 5. Walking - Amy tries to make it to the gym 3-4 times a week and get 10,000-15,000 steps a day. One suggestion is to check emails on a treadmill. 6. Tidying up the house - Do something small, if you see an item in a room that belongs to the one you're going to then take it there. 7. Reading - Amy suggests reading right before bed.
@@lisqe4 You're welcome 😊 If I'm using my phone since I like to have tips like that on hand, I like to screenshot comments like this and put them in a folder on my phone so I can find them later on easily instead of having to rewatch a 15 minute video. (And of course spending time trying to find the right video in the first place). If you're like me and watch videos like this regularly, that might help you save some more time too.
Huge congratulations! I'm new to your channel but have devoured your videos over the last few weeks and am in the process of reading your book. I'm soon to launch my own account and your advice has been heads and shoulders above anything else I've being diving into. Thank you so much and yay, you! x (And yes, please re. the calendar blocking vlog!)
I would add... "...keep all the RIGHT small things in place..." This is one of the best Time Management techniques I found: ACT LIKE YOU HAVE 4 KIDS. SERIOUSLY - - - >>> ua-cam.com/video/c7saOjuJGwA/v-deo.html
1:45 morning pages (habit #1) 3:32 lemon water wake up (habit #2) 4:37 DND time = do-not-disturb time (habit #3) 6:05 calender block planning (habit #4) 6:58 gettin' my steps in AKA walking (habit #5) 8:46 tidying up the house (habit #6) 10:40 reading (habit #7)
I got a little teary-eyed on your behalf for the silver play button. I started watching the channel about 18 months ago and I've gone back quite a few years to catch up so I've watched you grow. Congratulations, Amy.
Cucumber or watermelon is also really good in water. Cucumber is good for inflammation (which I have with my chronic pain illness) and just a few slices can add a ton of flavor.
Calendar blocking sounds like a super productive thing to get work done for procrastinators. Definitely do a video on that!!! Thanks for all your help! xx
Love your sass!! I'm a self-professed tornado and stuff used to be all over the house. My daily habit to keep the house tidy is the "one-touch" rule. E.g. When I opened mail in the pass, it would sit on the kitchen counter, only waiting for me to file/recycle at some other time, ha! One touch for mail means that I'm only allowed to touch it once. It either goes into my office inbox or filed and the envelop recycled, as soon as as it's opened.
I almost NEVER take my phone off of DND. I started doing this when I was doing school & work at the same time... I love it! I don’t like being interrupted by my phone. Like you said if it’s urgent there’s ways for people to reach me. It helps me not be distracted from unimportant texts/posts. I also turned off social media alerts so I don’t get notified. Super helpful.
So happy to hear someone else talk about morning pages!! I've done them almost every morning for 6 years now (started when I did The Artist's Way) and don't have any idea how I dealt with life before that. I've never been great at sitting still so I consider writing to be my form of meditation :)
My favourite habit is writing. My alarm clock goes off at 5:40 and then I write for 12-15 minutes and have been since 2008. Got the idea from "The artist's way". Then I get dressed, make my bed, feed the cats and have a hot beverage, usually herbal tea or hot water. I would really like to see the new calendar blocking video. I really enjoy your videos! Have a great day and please give Lucy a cuddle for her well-earned 400 steps! That's pure girl-power!😁♥
I’m so excited to try the morning journal thing!!! I’ve always wanted to do it! On the mornings when you have nothing to write about you can write about your dreams! Always wanted to do a dream journal😍
The little tidying tip is good idea. I would love to know more about the calendar blocking. I find it very useful to have a monthly planner where the whole family writes down their activities, then we can plan something together in the free windows that occur.
#6!!!! I too do this. I started doing a weekly goal thing and for two weeks it was picking up the living room and clearing the table (which becomes a catch all). But yes deep cleaning is horrid and having someone do it is the best use of your time.
I would like to see a calendar blocking techniques video. I also wanted to say that I have a 14 year old dog who is only 10lbs so I totally feel you 😂 walking for fitness with a senior pup is totally not helpful 🙄
This was a great video. I have to confess, my phone has been on so not disturb for a little over 2 years. I went through a personal situation and did not want to talk to anyone and I just never took it off.
HI, Amy, always loved your video! I'd like to watch another calendar blocking video as I'm having trouble at making decisions right now...decision about whether I should blocking my time on my calendar as a way to 'plan my to-do-list in this week' (i found it difficult for me to really do what i planned) or 'what did i really do today/week?' after i really done them (there is no plan in my week anymore).Thanks!
Amy-YES totally, before you even said it I was thinking to myself-I would LOVE a practical HOW TO plan my week and my days. I am a new entrepreneur working for myself at home for the first time and my biggest struggle is figuring out how to lay out my schedule and be the most productive I can. When you work 9-5 you think oh my gosh I would have ALL the time in the world if I could just stay home and work on what I want to work on. And then when you have that freedom-it's crazy how quickly the days go! Thanks in advance girl, I know you will totally crush this topic!!!
Perfect timing to hear this- started realizing my daily habits were slipping and need to get them back to have a strong foundation! Also, just did a video a couple of weeks ago on morning pages! I love them and recommend them all the time!
Great video 5 minutes with family or pets in the am is a great way to set the attitude for the day. Playing with the pets without the phone for a few minutes sets a great tone of the day to not be too serious and also releases that oxytocin in the brain.
Hey, Amy. I'm been trying calendar-blocking for two weeks now, there were days that it worked perfectly and others were a mess! Any tips, suggestions? Does it really take time to get used to the system? Oh, and do you use the notifications or do you shut them off? Cus there were days that they started to drive me crazy cut I started feeling like I was rushing things. (I receive notifications 30 minutes before the event.) Thank you!!
Carolina Aleixo receive notifications 10 mins before so it does not interrupt the task you’re doing and gives you a good 10 mins to think about the next task
Yay! Congratulations on getting your 100k YT plaque! =) And I'd really appreciate a how-to calendar blocking video. I've tried to do something similar, but I tend to just set up a schedule and not really follow it as much as I should...I kind of wonder if it's one of those things that's easier said than done - or maybe I'm just super scattered and disorganized. :/
These were really helpful. I’m always looking for ways to improve my daily routine to get my life together. Yes, please do an updated calendar blocking video.
I've just now stumbled on your videos and I'm not someone who spends any time at all on UA-cam because it is a time-suck. I am legitimately concerned for the amount of time I am going to spend watching productivity videos on your channel (this seems like an oxymoron). You've gotten me so pumped for morning rituals, goal-setting and self-care in this unstable part of my life, and I just want to thank you for that!
YESSS. I do the multi-tasking treadmill tip, too! It helps me to answer DMs, comments, etc. I look up and realize that 3 miles have gone by. w00t! I love all your videos, Amy! Thank you so much for all of your tips. Also, since you mentioned not being able to make it to the gym all the time, I make home workout videos you can do anywhere. That way you don't have to take the time to get ready or make it to the gym but just click on a video and go from ^____^. /endofselfpromotion Legit doe, thank you for your videos! I'm almost done listening to Crushing It! because of you and it is helping me so much to get in the zone and crush it! ^____^
Thanks! I would love a calendar blocking video even though or especially since I already do that and love it. I love that you always know how full your plate is. And you have to explicitly postpone things.
1. Morning pages - Write down your thoughts first thing in the morning before you do things like email.
2. Drink lemon water
3. Do not disturb time - Use the do not disturb option on your phone. Amy suggests doing this in the morning to help start off your day productively, but she finds if she leaves it on the whole day she gets even more done.

Yes please
yessss!
You all had to see how my eyes popped out when Amy said if we want to see a new calender blocking video...
YES!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been drinking lemon water before my coffee for about 3 wks now... definitely a habit I won't miss if I can prevent it!
I got a little teary-eyed on your behalf for the silver play button. I started watching the channel about 18 months ago and I've gone back quite a few years to catch up so I've watched you grow. Congratulations, Amy.
I'd love to see an updated/in-depth video on your calendar blocking method!
I love the morning pages idea. I try to keep a notebook on my nightstand, need to use it more to get thoughts out of my head and onto paper!
I'm reading every comment, Socials! You blow me away with your support. Thank you so so so much!
Thank you for sharing the glorious moment at the end of the video and not hiding your emotion!

I also wanted to say that I have a 14 year old dog who is only 10lbs so I totally feel you 😂 walking for fitness with a senior pup is totally not helpful 🙄
I love morning pages. I've been doing it a few years. I love to read before bed also. Your ideas are great! Thank you.
Yes please Amy, an updated calendar blocking would be great!
This was a great video. I have to confess, my phone has been on so not disturb for a little over 2 years. I went through a personal situation and did not want to talk to anyone and I just never took it off.
Congrats on the play button, the newly designed version looks amazing too!
Yes please, a visual of the calendar blocking will help
Calendar Block tutorial. YES!

Hi from Australia and YES! I have started calendar blocking since watching your videos and would love another more practical video to progress!!

I was inspired by a previous video to make my bed daily. Makes a Huge difference in productivity and attitude!
Please talk about calendar blocking more... I feel like it can really help me
Calendar blocking. YES! Do you do it in your bullet journal.

Congrats on the silver play button Amy! Very well deserved
I try to incorporate the SAVERS - silence, affirmation, visualization, exercise, reading, scribing
I want to see the calendar blocking please 😊👍🏻
Great video 5 minutes with family or pets in the am is a great way to set the attitude for the day. Playing with the pets without the phone for a few minutes sets a great tone of the day to not be too serious and also releases that oxytocin in the brain.

Def would like another CALENDAR BLOCKING video 😘
A video to learn how to do calendar blocking would be awesome!! I would love to integrate it into my daily life to stay on top of things. Thank you!
I really need to try the DND thing... Because I have a very short attention span once someone interrupts me. : /
Thanks! I would love a calendar blocking video even though or especially since I already do that and love it. I love that you always know how full your plate is. And you have to explicitly postpone things.
I would literally have “coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee....” for 3 pages worth if I did this first thing in the morning. 😂
Would love to see more on your planning and calendar blocking weekly process
