My weekly planning dilemma continues.
Daily? Nailed it.
Monthly? The system I found early this year is working beautifully.
Weekly? Struggle bus.
I can't remember who I was talking to, but someone told me they thought it made sense that intermediate planning is the toughest for me because of my ADHD. I can see that, but it doesn't mean it's not frustrating for me.
I've shared the previous attempts I've made at weekly planning on the blog. The one that lasted the longest was similar to my monthly system, but even though I go to the weekly page multiple times a day (it's where I record the weather, sky conditions (i.e. Sunny, cloudy), and where I record my writing word count for the day), I can't manage to even look at the middle section where my weekly tasks are listed.
Nothing else I've tried even worked as well as this idea.
So I'm trying my latest new plan.
I have a six-ring, A5 binder from a planner I used years ago. I bought undated A5 weekly pages from a small business that will fit in this binder. The left side has a horizontal weekly and the right side is a blank page.
Yes, I tried this in a bound planner earlier this year. Yes, I learned I liked everything in one book. Yes, this idea might crash and burn as quickly as the others.
My thought this time is my primary planner sits in my kitchen. I would keep the binder in my office. I will not have any other tasks in the six-ring binder, only the weekly tasks. This means that every time I'm in my office, I will see my weekly tasks because there's nothing else to look at on the planner. In the meantime, everything else will be in my main planner--Command Central.
Like I said, I don't know if this will work either. I just have to keep experimenting even this late into the year. If this fails, too? Well, at least the pages are undated so I can use it for something else later.
