Hi! I want to tell you about the types of planning, as I understand them. In this article I want to share with you best 12 planning methods.

1. Visual planning methods

1.1 Visualization

When you are in a pleasant, calm state, for example, after meditation, or just in a good mood, you go into seclusion. Sit comfortably and, closing your eyes, visualize your future. For example, the practice “My Ideal Day” helps to understand how you see yourself in a few years. How do you feel when you wake up? Who do you wake up with? What kind of bed are you in? What does your morning look like? What do you do during the day? Who do you spend your dinner with? Each time I find new details and experience my future more vividly.

 

1.2 Moodboard

In Google or Pinterest I find pictures that reflect my future. For example: the house I want, the car I want, the places I want to go on vacation. I print out the pictures I like and hang them on my moodboard. Now they are constantly in front of my eyes and motivate me.
Check out my Pinterest, you might like my picks for your Moodboard.

1.3 Wish Map

It is a sheet of paper divided into sectors, where in each sector you paste the pictures and photos that inspire and motivate you.

2. Electronic planning

There are a huge variety of programs to help you plan your year, month, week and day.

I’ll highlight the ones I’ve used myself:

2.1 Google Calendar

A free and simple planning program. Here you can customize your day by hours. Schedule your to-do’s for the week and plan your goals for the month.

2.2 Notion

Interesting program, but it is still in English. Here you can keep: planning, book lists, movie lists, to do lists, notes, menus and recipes, habit trackers and save necessary links. All in all, a huge space that you can use as a life assistant. There are many free templates for using the program.

2.3 Excel Table

You can work offline (or online in Google Sheets) by downloading it to your computer or tablet beforehand.
Here’s where you can buy my digital planners for Excel.

2.4 Trello

A program in the form of a kanban board. Great to use for your tasks: new, in progress, done.
In another article, I’ll tell you how I use it to plan my year.

2.5 Notes

A simple app in your phone for writing quick notes and to do lists.

2.6 TickTick

In this app I use Eisenhower Matrix and Pomidoro. In the paid version, you can schedule things to do for the day.
