Using the calendar to plan and ensure appropriate focus on each activity is sooooo helpful

Following on from our chat on Tues evening, I thought you would find this interesting – Ben Legg, Lexi Radcliffe-Hart, Claire Moss, Janis Chan, Anastasia Trifonoff, Lisa Solomon, Tim Walters, Ph.D., Pete Domican, Angie Bishop, Hermeet Gill, Andy Townsend

I love this, and I’m starting to enjoy working out what planning works for me and using it to upskill into my role and beyond. Her points about reflection also link nicely to a lot of what we’ve been discussing 1:1 Fiona Chorlton-Voong and the discussions we’ve had a team and a community. Also reminded me of Leila’s podcast (https://www.buzzsprout.com/1353208/episodes/6104359) about how she and her husband reflect personally and professionally. Thanks for sharing!

I’m not sure that looks much a balance (each to their own) but I like Timeblocking as a technique and using it much more these days but I’d only do it a day in advance. This looks too constrained if people are trying to schedule time with you.

Definitely interesting and glad it works for her. I’m exhausted thinking about that schedule though, however, we each define fun and productive in different ways so this must energise her. As someone who is planning on integrating Coaching into Portfolio though, the multiple coaches she has is interesting in itself.

I find this really inspiring. I love to see how other people plan their day and organize themselves. I really like the strengths weakness analysis. I have to say I have been the most productive this week after our call. I added more to basecamp and calendar and shared ideas with team to be more accountable. I am going to create a ton of content and stop fighting the fear of putting myself out there.

kudos to this person for organization and productivity, but the lack of blank space in this grid would stress me out. I think i would feel anxious about constantly chasing the next slot in my calendar. it doesn’t look like there’s much room here for spontaneity, serendipity, ducking into a bookstore or an unknown street… Some of the best decisions I’ve made (in retrospect) came from thinking while observing my surroundings over a coffee, or an unexpected conversation with a stranger. [Aimlessly scrolling through LinkedIn got me to TPC! :-)] But as you said last week Fiona – some people crave structure while others avoid it – different strokes for different folks!
