NEW PLANNERS FOR BACK TO WORK AS A TEACHING ASSISTANT AND AN ADHD GIRLY

So I go back to work in just over a week. So obviously I'm slowly collecting things back ready to go back to work. And I was actually really kindly given the opportunity to try a planner from The Productivity Method, which is obviously owned by Grace Beverly, which is so cool. Now I'm so particular with my planners and any notebooks or anything like that. Like I don't like big bulky ones. I don't like ones with spines. I like ones where I can have a lot of freedom. So I decided to choose, they're so cute. The 8-Minute Planner because they're thin and the soft cover, which is all things that I love. So let me open these on. So this is so look at the patterns. So you get two polka dot ones and this really nice like beige colour. And I chose the 8-minute one obviously, ADHD, like I don't want something quick. Something where I don't have to like focus, sit down and really focus. What is also great about these that I really like is they're not dated. That annoys me so much with a planner when they're dated and I'm like, oh, so I can write the date, you know, exactly like, like, miss, whatever. I'm not tied into like a dated planner. So the 8-minute planner works. It works in that you do five minutes in the morning and three minutes at the end of the day, which is literally perfect for me and my ADHD because, yeah, I struggle with planning as it is. So this is like the perfect little setup for me. It basically sections. She has the quick, I love making lists as well, by the way, like anywhere list helps ADHD tips as well. Like, ever. And then you have ticks, you have tasks and projects, which is so good. So it just breaks it down into those little chunks, but it doesn't break down too much. And then there is time blocking would be perfect as a TA because I can write down in the morning what lessons I have at those times. And then I can just look here, work, everything paper, which is not the most efficient thing. And then there is also a note section. And also I love how lightweight these are. You know, as a TA, I can't be lugging around massive planners, notebooks and folders too because it's just too heavy. But these are like the perfect size. And they also work on a three-month rotation as well. So like, you don't get, I don't have to have like a massive diary for the whole year. Because I also find that overwhelming. But I'm going to give these a go next month, from the 1st of September when I officially go back to work and I will let you know how I find them. Especially my neurodivergent girlies who also struggle with finding planners and notebooks that work well for them. I will give you an honest review of how I get on with these 8-minute planners. I'm really excited and also like, they're so cute, aesthetic, like, they just match my vibe. Yeah, video maybe once I've started using these next month and let you know how I get on with them.
