Planning

I love planning and I plan every single thing in my life. I do this mostly to reduce my anxiety. I don't like unexpected things and I hate not having a control. I know that I can't control my life completely, but I can at least do something to make it more organized and easier.

In order to do that, I created my own planning routine (yes, I have a planning routine) and I thought it would be a good idea to share it with you. It only contains 3 steps, but it's really effective and works perfectly for me.

The first step is monthly tasks. I do that at the end of every month and I plan all the big things that don't really have a specific time, but I have to do during a month, such as dentist appointments, birthday gifts or Christmas gifts etc.

The second step is weekly plan where I basically make a list of the things that I have to do during a certain week just to see what I have to do and how much time I will need to do everything. Because I'm a student, I have a lot of exams and essays and other things that I have to do to pass so I put all the deadlines/exam dates in my calendar and then I also plan the days when I'm gonna study just to make sure that I'll be ready for all my exams. I also give private English lessons so I put them in my calendar as well.

The last step is daily tasks. I plan a certain day a night before and those are usually small planes like shopping, my workouts, meals etc.

That's the end of my planning routine. It might not make sense for you, but it is so helpful for me and maybe you can find it useful too.

I hope you liked my post and let me know in the comments if you have any special routines to stay organized!

See you soon!
