the alastair method | for ANY PLANNER and SYSTEM not just bullet journaling! use it with GTD?!

I just leveled up our grocery list thanks to this. I always have a running list going and sometimes break it out, using one post it note per store, but most of the time it’s just a messy list that’s hard to read. But I changed that up to have a running list on the left and stores on the top, and I’ve checked multiple stores for things that could be purchased at more than one store. I think this is going to be a game changer for us. Thank you!!!

Never thought about this method, people use this with habit tracking but only cross off at the end of the day. I put dots on the days I want to walk, or work from home, etc. I read every day, so I check off if I have read. I have a 194 day reading streak going on. I am going to hit my target for books, even with my thesis work. Love it when your videos pop up. I watch them as soon as I can.

Also, it’s possible you said this and I missed it, but it’s also good for tracking cleaning. You could track seasonal tasks against month, but you can also track more frequent tasks against the room. Like dusting, sweeping, mopping against living room, kitchen, bedroom, etc…

This is 100% the best way I’ve found to use the Hobonichi weeks. The only problem is that the right side page line only separates out 6 boxes instead of 7 Actually your bringing up daily planning was really interesting to me, because I definitely don’t do well with scheduling hour by hour, but I like to be able to look back and see what my day looked like, which I could do with the Alistair method

Love this method!

Great video. Very informative. I had no idea that it could be used in so many different ways.

Very informative. Thank you

Ok, my eye was being drawn to the black bag in the background with the grab handles 😂 What is it? 👀 Great video!

06:12 I needed this.

Are you still doing the one book July challenge this year? Will you be posting which one planner (paper) that you would use in combination with your digital planning?

lol, me and you love trying all kinds of productivity techniques. I am prototyping my pages for next year's planner, went back into my saved files to refresh my memory on the Alastair technique, and here you are!! For me, Alastair is better with dates/months/days/weeks thingies, but I can't see how to combine with GTD without duplicating. GTD doesn't assign dates but more like actions. Things like Projects and Someday are very useful. Do you have any ideas? I think I may do a weekly Alastair task but I am wondering what it could look like for a monthly on a B6, not enough room to list up to 31 numbers and the activities. Am I overthinking lol?

Ever heard the word matrix?????

I was taught the Alistair Method in last year of High School. I graduated in 1974! This Alistair guy DID NOT invent this method. This is by no means a new idea.

Alastair method😊 not alistair😅

⁠ Understood. You just put out „content“ without being interested in the community which is financing your pocket money. Interesting. Going to undo my subscription. Greetings

What is that thing holding up books on the wall on your right? I could use something like that 😍

Can you upload or do another video with way more examples because you only show it for a flash of a second and I would just be much more helpful if you just staring directly at the content and did a voiceover
