Great video! I just recently got into bullet journaling, found your channel and love your functional style. I’m using the method at work too. I am using a planner for work that only has a small number of lines per day, so it forces me to only put a specific number of things on my plate each day like the ivy lee method. However I don’t have any room for notes so that takes away any context to what happens or why I may not finish all my tasks. I also didn’t put them in order of importance so sometimes I’ll do the easiest things first (or only do the easiest things that day) and find myself with a backlog of difficult tasks. I am really glad you showed the Eisenhower box method, this looks like something that can really help me and I’m excited to try it out!
This was helpful! I like the first method for daily & weekly planning. I have actually used the second method for annual planning, which projects make sense to work on and which should be postponed or discarded.
The Ivy method sounds like a nightmare for my ADHD brain. I've tried something similar and it didn't work very well, but who knows. I used the Eisenhower boxes this quarter without knowing their name and it was *really* helpful for prioritizing what projects I wanted to finish because despite firmly believing I can get everything done at the start of each planning chunk, the reality is I very much can not. I appreciate your channel so much. I've been bullet journaling for a couple years now and I'm looking forward to incorporating your project tracker pages (which I've used before with wild success) into my planning next quarter. I love the functional content!! Your channel has so much value. 💕
I’ve tried so many Methods to. Some to success other to no success. But it’s the only way our brains figure it out. Thanks for the kind words. I’m excited to keep bringing more to you all and sharing what I’m learning.
I appreciate the simplicity of the Ivy Lee Method. I had kinda started doing this in my lesson plan book at school but now may make a few revisions and finally dig into one of my A&O journals. Thanks Mark.
I would suggest you never complete the tasks in quadrant 4, in your work that is. Also, it would be nice to discuss the weekly layout of Steven Covey's weekly planner. Especially the thought behind it, to join private and work in your todo's (if applicable of course), and to take the time at the end of the week to reconsider all the open tasks. BTW Covey used the same matrix you mentioned in the Eisenhower matrix.
I was just talking to my uncle about The Covey methods. He talked about how influential they were to him early in his career. Thanks for checking out the video and your feedback.
That was an excellent explanation of those two methods. I have an ADHD brain question. How would you factor in routine tasks? Most of the things I do every day are the same (I'm a full-time homemaker) and I must write them down or I will forget (thank you, ADHD). I've had a hard time finding any kind of system that allowed me to incorporate those routine things. Would love to hear your thoughts.
I think adding in a weekly tracker for the common tasks could certainly work along with this daily approach. That way you aren’t rewriting daily, but you could start every with that page to accomplish those tasks before taking on your non-daily priorities.
@@markyourpages That makes perfect sense. Sometimes the ADHD brain gets so bogged down with finding the perfect solution or making everything harder than it needs to be that we miss the forest for the trees. That is a very common sense solution and I will give these two methods a try. I will say again that I've never heard them explained so well.
Thank you for sharing! Do you have any tips on how to categorize tasks that occur on a weekly/daily basis that are needed for “operations” for lack of a better word? For ex, in work there may be daily tasks that aren’t the major project you also have to chip at. At home, things like habitualcleaning or cooking
You could set up a weekly tracker for the things that happen weekly. That way you are keeping them in 1 place and can check them off as you go along vs rewriting them daily.

That’s literally how I make my ongoing lists lol didn’t know it was an actual method. It’s kind of cool.
The SOC method
I wasn't aware of the Ivy Lee Method yet I see it implemented in some way within almost every system.
This was helpful! I like the first method for daily & weekly planning. I have actually used the second method for annual planning, which projects make sense to work on and which should be postponed or discarded.
Great way to use them in conjunction with each other.
Thanks. This is just what I need right now.
So glad it was helpful!

Awesome enjoy the notebook
Great thank you
Thank you for watching
Interesting methods, thanks for sharing the block method with the brain dump are might be very helpful to me.

Mind sweep or mind spill instead of brain dump??
