​ Aloha Reader! ​

I hope you're embracing an amazing week as you push forward with your creative goals. As we wrap up November, I wanted to share a few thoughts from my latest video on creating a calendar and task management system that actually fits your needs.

Let's be honest; many time management systems can feel a bit controlling, leading to feelings of overwhelm and stress. It can be different! In my "Nice to Know, Nice to Have November Series," I've been sharing the knowledge that I wish I had when I started my content creation journey. Today, I'm thrilled to share the key to stress-free scheduling!

Here are some key points to remember:

1. Thoughts Overflow: Begin with a classic brain dump! Take a moment to grab a pen and paper and write down all your projects, goals, tasks, and priorities. Put everything from your mind down on paper.
   ​
2. Priorities: Next, let's identify your top three priorities for the day! These are the crucial tasks that will enable you to effectively progress toward your goals.
   ​
3. Time Boxing: Begin constructing your schedule using the time boxing method! Draw boxes for each type of task, set a specific amount of time for each type of work, and add those tasks into the boxes. Begin with 15 to 30-minute increments and feel free to adjust as necessary.
   ​
4. You're the Boss: Remember that you have the ability to mold your own schedule; it doesn't have to mold you! Be gentle with yourself and allow for some flexibility as you explore this new system. It's all about making adjustments and being kind to yourself along the way!Let's bring it to life! Try adding some color coding and make your time boxes look visually appealing! This will give you a clear view of your day and help you steer clear of the urge to multitask.
   ​

This system is wonderful because it's simple to use, organized, and completely adaptable to your needs. You only need a pen, some paper, and a get ish done attitude to get started; no fancy tools or apps are required!
