Excellent stuff! Any insights on how Cal's methods can be merged with bullet journalling? I use bullet journaling for its flexibility and ability to reduce loose papers. I like the idea of having an all in one notebook/journal/planner so I don't have to get torn between multiple sources

@workflowsofexceptionalperf1502 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your comment. I think Cal's methods can be easily applied to Bullet Journalling. 1. For the daily calendar, take a two page spread. On the left side, you do your timeblocking. Write out the hours of the day near the margin and create the timeblocks as you would normally do. On the right page, you can write notes throughout the day - bullet journal style. 2. For the weekly planning, you can also write out your weekly plan on a two page spread. Things you want to accomplish, your top priorities and an outline of when you will work on them. 3. For quarterly planning, similarly, you can devote a few pages of the bullet journal to write out your priorities for the quarter and your active projects for the period. What do you think?

What do you do when 40% of your week is scheduled away in meetings that fragment your day?

@workflowsofexceptionalperf1502 3 жыл бұрын

Good question. One suggestion is to arrange all your meetings after 11a (if possible), so that you can get a solid 2 - 3 hours of focused work done every morning (8-11a) Another is to have "meeting days" - days where you are interacting with other people, say M, Th, and "maker days" - days where you focus on getting work done, say Tue, Wed, Fri. How much control do you have over your schedule?
