Here's how I plan my time (I'm still a high school student, but I have a lot of classes, mornings, after school, and investigative interviews, so my planning is more complicated than some adults):
First of all, I'll get a calendar app to use for planning
I'll start by writing down the things that are essential to my survival on my calendar (I'm using google I use Google Calendar and connect it to my Apple Calendar so I can make sure I can see the calendar on different devices): things like eating, washing up, doing laundry, exercising, etc. I schedule this kind of thing and try to do it at a time each day
When I think of something I have to do in a week I immediately write it down on a list (either on paper or in a software program) and call it: "Recent" to review at night and schedule it on the calendar. If I think of something I need to do next week I put it on another list called: "Next Week."
Every Sunday I take out my "Next Week" list and make a list of things I need to do next week. Then I'd plant those things on my calendar for the following week.
I'll divide the things on my calendar into four tabs: Daily (dedicated to personal chores), Reminders (reminders of things that take 30 minutes or less), Tasks (up to 30 minutes with time forecasts and planning, like homework, studying, reports, papers, and essays), and Events (things that don't have time forecasts and planning, like going on a date, hanging out, spending time with a good friend, and that take 30 minutes or less to plan). friends and are 30 minutes or longer).
At this point, some people ask what to do in case something unexpected happens (e.g., someone asks you out). A lot of people just say they're going to say no, but I can't say no, so I'll leave 60%-80% blank so that I can easily make adjustments at any time.
This is the method I'm using now, but it was hard when I first started using it, so here's how I planned it when I first started:
The first thing is the material. I am using a software called tweek (link: web link) nothing special, it's just free and has some features I like (of course it's optional, you can use other software too).
You can also use paper and three colors of pens.
Every morning you list the things you want to do today, that is, you write whatever comes to mind, and mark the things you must do today in one color, and then list the things you want to do but are not in a hurry and mark them in another color, and then the rest is optional whether you want to do it or not. This way you start each day with the things you need to do the most. Then you can list and label whatever comes to mind at any time.
The reason I like the one I recommend is because it's free, has only two color-coded lists (fewer, but enough for me), has a nice, clean page, and you can enter lists on different dates, and you can name your own three free lists (I've made them "later", "book list", "book list", "book list", and so on). book lists" "and goals"), and best of all you can set up to move unfinished tasks to the next day, so it's a very helpful way to manage our time.
And finally there's a way to remind us to do something we don't want to do: you can record in the recording app on your phone that (your name) must get (what you want to do) done on (date and time) in (time) minutes. (Something like this, hopefully you can read it.) For an example, "Twilight Leaning Fan (please don't mind, I can't change my name) you must have your research completed and turned in within two hours on June 4, 5022." Listen to it when the time comes, and there's a strange feeling forcing you to finish the thing.
But these methods are just the ones that worked for me, if they don't work let me know and I'll be looking for a couple methods for you. Also these are just time plans, I'll post another entry about how I take action.
