Welcome back to module six. And now we're putting it all on paper, or maybe the computer, but either way, open it together now. Patricia Sung 00:11 Now that we've put together all these different puzzle pieces, we are going to find a way to bring everything together into one spot, so that you're not flipping through 47 million papers. And you may still need a couple. But as you move forward and like as you get used to the the systems that you've set up, this one piece of paper or one document on your phone or computer will help you create the rhythm and routine that you can have all in one place all together. And keep it in one spot nice and tidy for our brains to be able to see as much as we need to but not be too overwhelmed by too much information. Patricia Sung 00:59 So a couple of helpful strategies before we actually get into the sheet. And first, we're going to start with our tasks on our anchors, we're gonna fill those in first, because those anchors are usually time driven for us. And we're layering those things on that need to happen within the anchors. Now, keep in mind that on my daily schedule, I do not have the anchors that repeat, because I for one at this point, I already have them set. But I put those on, like at those locations are where I do them. Patricia Sung 01:31 So for my morning routine and my bedtime routine, I have those written on a piece of paper and taped to the backsplash above my sink, so that I can see them when I wake up in the morning. And when I go to bed to make sure that I did all those things before I go to sleep or when I wake up, I know exactly what I need to do. So those are not on my planner, because
2. they're the same pretty much every day of getting ready, taking medicine, showering, making sure that I drink some water in the morning, those kinds of things. So just like FYI, they're not those two things are not going to be on the sheet. Because, you know, we're we're trying to balance having everything in one place, but not be so overwhelming. And that is something you can post in the location, that makes sense. And you don't have to carry that around with you. Patricia Sung 02:24 We also want to imbalance planning with real time like, as much as we put all of these plans in place, like there is something to be said for flowing with the day and making sure that we're being present and that we're not so focused on what the plan is that we're not enjoying the moment. And it's going to feel like a bit of a struggle when you're first trying to get everything in order. And it's gonna feel awkward. But we talked about that valley of disappointment is that in that first part where we're trying to make all this work, and it feels like we're not making headway and it's going to be awkward and uncomfortable. We know that we're we expect that. And then once we start to settle into that rhythm, and it'll start to feel good and make more sense, okay. But we do want to make sure that we are accommodating for like real life and that this whole the routine and the schedule that we're making, is to serve you, not for you to serve it. So it is always there to assist you not to be like you know, a stick to beat yourself over the head with. Patricia Sung 03:30 Okay. Next one is easier said than done avoiding over committing. When we create these plans, sometimes we like playing every minute of the day. And then we don't have any room for flexibility. So the minute that one tiny thing goes wrong, it throws the whole schedule off. So want to make sure that we have that free space in there and make it work for you. It should fit you it should fit your personalities, it should fit your values. When I look at this schedule, I should be able to tell what it is that's most important to you. Also, remember that we're looking for our patterns and use those to your advantage. Figure out where you can create more efficiencies and and, you know, if you're feeling more tired in certain parts of the day, like make those your rest times and adjust in so that you can fit what makes sense for you. And lastly, of course, I'm sure I've said it a bazillion times now but remember changes necessary. Patricia Sung 04:38 I mean, that's the only certain part of life is that things will change and our kids are growing and they're modifying what they do every day. You know, they're outgrowing naps, then they're going to school and have a different schedule like it isn't this is meant to be a structure in a framework that makes sense for you but you You are going to have to modify it. You know, it might fall apart at, you know the holidays, but you can then go back to it after the holidays and like restart over again, it's okay that we chilled out for that week, no one's going to be horrifically scared because we didn't follow our pattern exactly. There is that room for fluidity, but it is going to change. And as soon as you feel like you've got the hang of you know, your kid having two naps, they're going on to one nap. And as soon as you feel like you got the one that thing down, and they go, and they don't want to naps anymore. I mean, this is just part of being a mom, so bear with us where we're getting through it.
3. Patricia Sung 05:43 Okay. So I'm gonna take you into the routine here. So let me pull up that document. Man, okay, remind me, hey, we're gonna do this first, and then we'll go with the document. So you're going to fill in your regular and standing appointments first, so that you know where you need to be in one. And then you're going to write in your anchor tasks, your layer those in next, then you're going to add in your space for rest and fun. And then like that buffer time to make sure that we have space for the things that we did not appropriately guesstimate earlier in the day. And then for each bucket, putting in the, like a clear definition of what goes in that bucket for that day. Patricia Sung 06:33 Knowing that, you know, within reason, obviously, if you have a rotating bucket, and you don't want to, like say that for sure I'm doing like week one, because you want to like go on a whim, like that's fine, just have that reference page nearby on your phone or whatever, so that you can check on it when it's time to go. And you may want to just write on the schedule like check note in phone in keep app for you, but and, you know, we're gonna just as we need and if you would be so kind as to post that into the weekly routine. Patricia Sung 07:15 I would love to see what else you have put together. So I'm gonna pause this I'm gonna stop this video and I'm going to start a new one to go through that actual template with you and get through all the details. So come right back.
