I love bullet journaling and have built one in Notion to keep my tasks and backlog. Usually, I plan for the day ahead in the evening, and this helps a lot, especially on Monday mornings🤪
I make a plan in the evening the next day or in the morning.
I set aside time for dinner with my family and an evening out. I also don't forget to take coffee breaks.
I've always been a big believer in having an intentional plan for each day. Whether it's jotting down my top goals and priorities first thing in the morning or making sure I give myself enough time to take small breaks throughout the day, planning my day is essential to a productive lifestyle. Being mindful of how I'm going to spend my hours sets me up for success and ensures that I don't miss out on any personal growth opportunities or just good old-fashioned fun. After all, when you forego planning, you're wasting energy trying to figure things out as you go, so plan ahead and enjoy your day!
Planning your daily tasks becomes easy and enjoyable when you use the right scheduling tool such as Excel, LiquidPlanner, or GanttPRO.
For example, GanttPRO (https://ganttpro.com/) offers an online Gantt chart that helps to schedule tasks and events, set dependencies and milestones, and track deadlines.
Helpful features: Intuitive Gantt charts, cost and budget management, handy reporting and time tracking, capability to export projects (to pdf, png, and Excel formats), a good fit for freelancers and remote workers.
