New Year, Daily Planning

What up friends this is Kent C. Dodds on three minutes with Kent and I am

here it's a 21st or the yeah 2021 the first of January and I've been

thinking about a lot of things, you know, you've got New Year's resolutions

and stuff and my New Year's resolution my word of the year is planning so

what I was in fifth grade, I was homeschooled and by my mom she has a

degree in elementary education, so she homeschooled me and my two sisters

that right my little sister and sister.

To just older than me and we it worked out really well for me at some point

after a month or so of of going through homeschool. I started wanting to

get my school done really quickly and my mom was just like well, I've got

to take care of your sisters too, so I'll just write down a list of all the

things that you have to do and then you can do them whenever you want

because I was I was pretty like a self-starter and so yeah, she would write

it down the night before and then in the morning I would wake up sometimes

around like,Four or five I'm not not too much later than that though and I

would get working I would stop for a little bit to have breakfast with the

family while the rest of the my siblings went to school and stuff and then

I get back to it and I'd finish my school for the day like nine or ten in

the morning and then I have the whole day to do whatever I wanted

unfortunately at the time lots of what I wanted to do was hang out on the

computer playing games and stuff which are not proud of but it like I

changed a huge amount during that time.

I became much more of a self-starter and and a very task-oriented.And

goal-oriented it made a huge impact on my life, so yeah, I was just super

productive so I've been thinking about that and just kind of wanting to

have that level of productivity back and so for this year.

I'm gonna be I I have a notebook that I'm gonna be using to write down what

I'm supposed to do and the next day just like my plans what the things that

I want to make sure I do and it's not like super planned out or anything

like not the time of day necessarily but it's just like here the things

that I'm going to accomplish tomorrow.

And I've tried it the last couple days and I haven't been like working or

anything it's been like family stuff but it's been working pretty great so

that's what I'm gonna be trying to do. I hope you all had a wonderful new

year so operation and have a great start to your new year.

I think one of the things that I'm gonna try and plan is every weekday.

I'll I'll do something here on the three minutes with Kent podcast, so if

you want to subscribe and keep up with my journey, it'll be around like

coding topics and just life topics and stuff like that three minutes on

hope you have a wonderful day bye.
