As someone who struggles with analysis paralysis, procrastination, time blindness and perfectionism this is the best video I have ever watched when it come to organizing time. When i say im an avid planner who can some how never find time, this is the most helpful video i have ever came across. Thank you so much, just subbed 😌 also i loved that quote at the end, thanks for sharing it
I did this for 6 months/ year and developed a bunch of autoimmune illnesses after (I also meditated did yoga, sports, socialised with 80 hours a week work). Now I can't really work much at all. I realised I was living off of adrenaline and then when I did come down with an infection my body didn't have any more adrenaline to give. So just from my experience, yes you can do this if you want but just be careful. Maybe I just have bad genes but my biased opinion would be if you can, please don't do so much, it's not worth it.
Yeah I'm not getting sick for money . I work 32 hours in 2 days and have 5 days off I rest relax and take care of my body so I don't get sick . Our society is living dangerously with this approach . Without sleep u are 30 percent more likely to get cancer . I'm crippled now I take care of myself first
I also went through the same thing and my body broke down too. However, Lamide has slotted time for taking Vitamins. Many of us don’t and I wasn’t consistent in that area. People should just be sensitive to their body and not go overboard with work.
this video really called me out. as a student, planning my time is such an issue for me and i waste way too much time/get distracted easily. the fact that you work 12hrs AND still find time to have a side hustle completely amazes me. definitely not the life i want to live, but the planning part is very inspiring nonetheless, i'm gonna go get my 💩 together
I work in healthcare so my situation is a bit different, rather than a side hustle my priority is making sure I have time outside of work to do things I enjoy for myself, get at least 8 hrs of sleep, and a bit of time for studying. It was super helpful to see the hours broken down like this, and I think being more methodical in how I organize my time will help me feel less burnt out and like I never have time to do the things I want to do.
I just did the first exercise and was absolutely heartbroken to realize how little free time I have. No wonder I feel burnt out. I watch a lot of RU-vid😆 which is why I thought I had a ton of free time, but the more I think about it, I'm usually doing something else (like cooking) while watching. I guess I need to scale back expectations of myself. I know that wasn't the intent of your video, but I guess I'm not wasting as much time as I thought.
6:58, STRAIGHT FACTS. I studied every single day for almost 2 years to get my CPA license and it's paid so many dividends already! I just got a new job with a 55% raise
Girl, you have NO idea how this just ripped excuses out from under me and gave me focus. If time is money, no wonder I don't have the money I could have because I'm wasting tooo much time. Break up the time just like that and account for all the activities. Even sleep. So simple Thank you, Jesus, for the algorithm.
Even if this is good advice remember that wasting time is 100% okay to do. You don't have to do this to be happy and healthy. Find what is right for you
I agree. I work long days from morning to evening and I work from home so I’m flexible when emails are slow and I prep my meals, clean my room, even do a workout. But I love it when I clock out for the evening and have absolutely nothing to do 😊 I watch movies, edit photos from my camera and listen to music. It’s the best thing ever. I used to work retail for years and absolutely hated how I was constantly grinding for shitty pay. Now, I get to have my life back lol
I think most people have more hours in the day than they think but don’t know how to break up their time effectively. Sometimes sitting down and mapping it out can reveal it. This was so helpful, I love the way you’ve conceptualised it ♥️
This makes sense to me, I am trying to be better at my time. Currently, I am working from home and my working hours are from 5am-2pm, I have an hour lunch break during my shift and I use that for my workout currently doing pilates. I also have two 15 minutes breaks inbewtween so I use those to watch language classes for a new language I am studying as I committed to 30 minutes. After my shift I take an hour break, and after spend 2-3 hours studying. When winding down for the day watching a drama relaxes me and I am done for the day. But I am struggling with remaining fully concentrated when studying, but honestly doing the math when figuring out what needs to be done is so much more practical.
You showing the amount of hours we actually have in a week is very motivating Just goes to show how much extra time I really have to do things that I want to do
I really enjoyed your video but one thing I struggle with is how to schedule B type and C type tasks. What about the time it takes to get to work and back? What about cooking, grocery shopping? Do you have any tips for estimating the time these sort of activities take and how to minimize it?
I struggled with this too. I would always underestimate how long certain tasks actually take so I started timing myself and eventually got a realistic idea of how long things take. I recommend adding 15 minutes to everything since not everything goes as planned and it also give you time to transition from one thing to the next.
Google Calendar helps alot. And i also use google maps for the routes it takes to get to places and u can easily add them to ur calendar from the maps app
One thing about my sis, she will make things happen. Proud of you sis, keep making the moves, you continue to inspire us all with your hard work and dedication to your craft... okay, I'll stop now!
I needed this video girl! School is back on session and I haven't been able to attend classes cos ya girl is still trying to strike a balance between work and school. Thank you for this video💓
my question is, when do you take time to see friends, go out, work out, family, dating? I live 2hrs from my family and they want me to visit a lot. Also I have friends who want to spend weekends with me and I go on dates, because I want to meet someone. All of this is super time consuming... And what happens if you cant sleep one night and it turns your whole schedule around. I frequently have trouble sleeping at night which leaves me with a lack of energy
Ive been working 80-100 a week for a decade. Result: good investment/not poor, minimum social life, burnout, conginitive issues. (I finish in about 2-3 hours) . No sacrifice, no victory. Id rather overwork now then suffer in my 30-40-50-60. I am 3 years from retiring(I am 28)-good luck to my fellow hustlers
I like this. I try to plan a lot as well but I do ask myself sometimes the question “is this life?” Living by the agenda I mean it’s so robotic although effective
this was so well explained thank you! i always feel guilty in myself for relaxing/seeing friends over my weekends becasue i know i want to be using this time to invest in myself. really good tips, wish i was more of a morning person but this is a habit im going to have to force in!
This is such a practical and smart way to look at time! It's really inspiring to see someone killing it with multiple priorities -it gives me hope I can do the same :)
I was about to say "that's impossible", but once I did the math, it is do-able. Still, YOU'RE A BREAST. You get 168 hours. Subtract 100 for your work then you have 68. Then subtract 49 hours of sleep, then you have 19. Let's say you get 15 minute breaks to eat and you eat 2 times a day, that's 30 minutes which is about 3.5 hours taken away. Then it may take you 30 minutes to work out 3 days a week. That's another 1.5 hours. Then you take about 15 minutes to get ready every day. That can be about 2 hours for the week. Then grocery shopping, and cooking (if you meal prep) can take anywhere from 1-3 hours from your week. Let's stick to the middle and choose 2 hours. Then let's say travel is 20 minutes back and fourth and you only need to travel 4 days. That is about another 1.5 hours. That 19-3.5-1.5-2-1.5 =10 hours left to do extra stuff for the week. That is about 1 hour a day to yourself. Of course multi-tasking can cut things down. You really inspired me to schedule my life more. I am productive, but I have been living my life on autopilot. Same boring unfulfilling routine and not much progress since c-19.
I just downloaded the Notion app. Is there a way to get the daily checklist on the monthly view? I clicked on your Notion Template but can't seem to get it. I'm only interested in the monthly view daily check list at 6:35.
Hi Lamide, thank you so much for this video!! I went to your website to purchase the Digital Life Planner and noticed it was sold out🙁 Do you have plans on restocking it anytime soon? I was really looking forward to utilizing it for this final quarter of the year! Oh and Happy Independence Day! (I know you're based in London but since you're Nigerian I figured you may still celebrate it there ☺)
i have too much free time , that's my problem.. i suppose knowing i have all the time in the world to do something later b/c i don't have anything booked later makes me push off things 'til later
I'm a person who is managing her time as she said exactly before even watching this vid, yet still my study hours for exams are too less. It's like 24hrs a day isn't enough Well let me give a sample: School days: 7hrs sleep 8:30hrs school 1:30hrs training 2hrs day-meals & pray 1hr rest from studying 4hrs home studying (and that if I didn't procraste, or unknown thing came up) I need at least 7hrs to finish my study day 😢 Well I can study more in Saturday & Sunday cuz no school, so yeah...
I don't know how or why this just dropped in my feed today, but this is an awesome video! Such a cool creator as well. Thanks for the advice, it really helps. Keep up the good work ❤
have watched a couple of your videos and im loving your energy and advices i hear everything your saying ive even applied for an accounting course u gotta work smart !!! glad i came across your video after lesson aswell New sub !!!1
Great breakdown of showing how possible it is to use your spare time productively! One thing I'd like to point out though, is the calculation of 'free time' does not include things like preparing food, or doing general upkeep stuff like laundry, cleaning home, personal hygiene etc. Not to mention if you commute to and from work or have a daily exercise routine. That can easily add up to at least 4 hours per day for the average independent person - surpassing the allotted 2 hours per day misc time in the calculations. Of course you can chose to hire someone to help with some of those tasks or eat take-out, so it then becomes a toss-up of either spending money on help, or spending your time doing the things (and the opportunity cost associated with either decision).
I actually do have all of those things included, I just haven’t broken them out because it gets tedious, for example my work time includes the time it takes for me to get ready and get to work. I usually start work at 9.30. I also tend to go to the gym during the working day as well as my gym is at work
I mean it's incredible the amount of work and effort you put but to me it seems impossible to have a family or just a partner or friends you see regularly with this kind of planning. So i'm curious to know !
