    2020 really forced me to find an efficient planning system. I have watched hundreds of hours of videos related to time management, planning, goal setting and parenting. From books to articles and how-to guides, I am really grateful to have come across your channel. I must admit, at first, I was overwhelmed and a little intimidated but as I broke down each of your steps and watched more of your processes, I have found so many items that apply to me. And they really do force me to focus on each category. All the way from Johannesburg, South Africa, I would just like to say Thank you for taking the time to put the videos together and sharing. I love my Tul Letter cover and the journey of self discovery through each of these categories has been an amazing personal achievement.

    Hello, I am Sereca. I realized that no one gave a solution, so I decided to leave one. You could work on each category one at a time on a monthly basis. Each month, visit your categories and decide on the most important category. Write out how you plan to work on that category and do so for the entire month, journal your journey and findings, what’s working and what didn’t then track your habits in a habit tracker. The next month, pick the most important category and repeat the process but roll the previous category and keep on working on it, this makes the habits you build the previous month stronger. Repeat this process each month. If you have any questions about this strategy, I am more than happy to answer them.

    Lack of motivation is a real issue. One thing that helped me most is that pretend like I'm motivated and start working immediately. Overthinking usually slows me down. After a while my mind actually aligns itself with the workflow and I want to keep working. So my answer will be: don't wait for motivation. If something needs to be done, we need to do that with or without motivation.

    Thanks, young lady for your wise counsel, while I had the skills to do this, with no problem whatsoever, after suffering the last, of 4 strokes, I realized along with my wife, that it was time to retire. It was very important since I lost most of my memory, as a real estate investor, insurance agent, and owner of several passive business partnerships! Thanks for the simple tasks, that could save my family millions!

    I mostly watch KZread on my television, so I'm not usually able to leave comments, but I wanted to log on with my computer today just to thank you for all of the wisdom you have shared this year. I'm still on my "get my life together" journey to get my schedule/budget/prayer journals under control, but I am in a much much better (organized) place then I was when I started this journey and started following you about 6 months ago. Not only have my stress levels dropped, but I'm actually having fun getting organized, which has been an unexpected surprise!! I'm just so grateful for all of the ideas you've shared. It's been hugely helpful for me. :0) So, thank you, thank you for sharing your life and ideas here on KZread. My life has been positively impacted and I'm grateful.

    Sometimes you need to give more time to make money to pay the bills. It’s not time you want to give or enough money to justify the time spent however it’s what a person might have to do. When me and my husband drove hours for him to do an odd job of a couple hours, which cost us 10 hours of time that is not justified in time however it’s justified in having a roof over your head in tough times. I think this series might be for folks that got their schedule on tight and a dedicated schedule. I like the tips and all but you most likely would be telling me my time isn’t justified, you’d be right but I’m doing what I have to do.

    Hey I love your categories but what about fashion that's a category and also self care that's also a category. I didn't hear you say anything about those two mostly I am feeling you're talking about lifestyle preferences. I know you deal with organization with money work business and I know dreams goals vision but is it all according to lifestyle preferences or life skill?
