I am a digital calendar kind of a gal! I do not carry a paper diary. I do not have a calendar on my desk, not even a filing cabinet in my office. 0’s & 1’s for me. All. The. Way. A gift to myself, purchased out of curiosity, has put a pencil in my hand every evening before work for the entire month of April. A BLOCK planner. It is not a calendar. I believe a calendar in your phone means you always have access to it, creating agility. However, a BLOCK planner has little to do with what you have to do at what time, and everything to do with planning your work in batches to maximize your productivity Review of P&Ls, income streams, business strategy planning. ALL that must be done when I’m fresh in the AM. When I need to switch into video call mode: that is in the afternoon. Social posting and article writing - you guessed it, all during one BLOCK in the evening when a relatively light-lifting task is welcome. And the night before, I know my strategy to get the most out of the following day. Sure, it doesn’t always go to plan. But when it doesn’t, I’m well rested enough and have a framework to get things back on track! #Jewelry #Diamonds #Gemstones #DigitalMarketing #BusinessStrategy

I was recently introduced to the concept of a ‘perfect calendar.’ This approach promises to revolutionize how we manage our time, aligning our schedules more closely with our personal and professional goals. I’m curious to learn from my network: Have any of you encountered this concept before? If so, are you currently implementing a perfect calendar in your daily life? I’ll start. I’ve built my perfect calendar and activity working towards living it out. #perfectcalendar

The perfect balance for staying organized: combining Pen & Paper with Digital Tools. Lately, I’ve developed a habit that’s transformed how I approach each day; writing down my daily and weekly routine or to-do-list. There’s something calming about putting pen to paper, it gives me a sense of clarity and direction. But as much as I love my notebook, I’ve also found that digital tools like Google Calendar add an extra layer of organization to my day. Here’s how these two methods work together to keep me on track and how I can help you do the same!: 📌 Big Picture Planning with Google Calendar I use Google Calendar for my “bird’s-eye view” of the week or month. It’s perfect for blocking out time, setting reminders, and coordinating schedules. With notifications, I never miss important tasks, activities, meetings, or deadlines. 📌Daily Focus with My To-Do List While Google Calendar keeps me organized on a broader level, my to-do list in my notebook is where I dive into the details. Each morning, I jot down specific tasks and prioritize them. Writing it out helps me feel more connected to my day and reminds me of my goals. Sometimes I wonder if this habit of sticking to pen and paper keeps me stuck in old days😊, but honestly, I love it. 📌Creating Accountability and Structure Together, these tools help me stay organized and ensure nothing slips through the cracks. And as an administrative assistant, I use these same techniques to help my clients get organized. By managing schedules in Google Calendar and keeping track of detailed tasks, I can help others maximize their time and stay focused on what’s important. There’s something satisfying about seeing my plans laid out, tracking my progress one line at a time. So, if you’re looking to feel more relaxed and in control of your time, I highly recommend combining pen and paper with digital tools like Google Calendar. It’s amazing how well these methods work together for structure and peace of mind. This is how I stay grounded and organized. Does anyone else enjoy writing things down the “old-fashioned” way? Or you prefer going digital? I’d love to hear how you stay organized!
