How do you prep for the week? Due to the possibility of letting my mind wander too much, I'm keeping everything on track with a simple planner every Sunday.
So for Week 39 of 2017, that is September 18 to 24, here is a spread of the incoming week:
Admittedly, I have (rare) weeks where there are nothing to write on this thing, I've found that it pays to have schedule, a plan of what happens in your week. Time is a limited resource we should use wisely.
I've devoted at least 10 minutes every Sunday to check on the past week, and to update the upcoming one. (My week 38 was a real mess, let's not even look at it laughs nervously)
Since I promised myself to start on Python and Data Science, I'm placing those general ideas on the bottom-most of the schedule. Priorities are on top, with the MIT - Most Important Thing, and I keep major appointments here.
The rest of the space has hours from 8am to 8pm for the main bulk of the day, which I use to monitor time-specific activities, and to block hours and see how these will affect the others. I've kept a lot of space in them and the bottom colored boxes for things that suddenly arises in a day.
On a side note, I know a calendar function in a cellphone or the numerous applications exist, but I function better on analog so I stuck with paper. Maybe in the future, I'll return to bullet journals, but for now, I do not need it that direly. But not to dissuade you from electronic planning-- I keep meetings as alarms in my cellphone so that it can remind me, without me having to reopen my planner.
I hope your upcoming week goes well. Tell me how you plan your week? Do you have specific techniques?
PS - Purposely blurred some parts of the image - peace! Don't strain your eyes.
PPS - Watch out for future posts on planning - and possibly when I return to bullet journals~
PPPS - Oh hey, a simple brush letterig - did a bit of practice on it to balance my day out...
