Cameron, who has ADHD, uses "day blocking" to organize each day. This means that she splits her day into 3 categories of time (morning, afternoon, evening) and picks a topic (like meetings, fitness, creative, deep work, etc) to assign to that portion of her day. This way, she has a general idea of what she should be working on at any given time and is able to pull from her sticky note group of tasks (aka her "task list bank") to narrow down on the actual task she'll work on. She uses her monthly spread and her monthly task list for her passions outside of work and personal life - fitness! Her monthly view holds her workout plan and her monthly task list holds her meal plans for the month. Such a flexible and organized way to use this layout!
Tip from Cameron (1/2):
Sticky Note Task Bank
We love the idea of jotting your task lists on sticky notes and organizing them by type of task. This helps Cameron to be able to quickly decide which task she should work on during her designated day blocked timeframe. The flexibility here means that she can evaluate her mood and inspiration and pick a task that aligns.
Tip from Cameron (2/2):
Freedom with Habit Tracking
Habit tracking shouldn't leave you feeling guilty that you didn't do something every single day! I love how her colored in bubbles makes this view more cheerful. Now she can use this as data gathering to reflect on how she felt when she did a habit on certain days and not other days. It's a tiny shift, but takes a big mental load off.
