I'm so excited for you to watch this class. And I'll catch you at the end for the project section. All right. Bye Bye. 2. 1 Schedule Daily Tasks: Hi guys. This is the first way that I do have for you and that is to schedule your daily tasks on a monthly calendar spread. Now, there are three steps related to this. The first is to list out all the tasks for that particular month. Now, when you are brain dumping all your tasks, it might be helpful for you to list out which tasks are personal, which tasks are work related, which tasks could be maybe related to an individual family member, so on and so forth. You can assign color codes for each of these. The second step is to prioritize the tasks according to the importance. You can add in specific dates, you can add in the lines if you have to. And basically you are letting yourself know when that task is due or when that task needs to happen. The third step is to assign it onto the monthly calendar. And like I mentioned before, you can use color codes for individual tasks related to that particular area of your life, or if it is related to another member, like it's a task you have to do for someone else. Again, use color codes and make sure that when you look at your monthly calendar spread, you know exactly what's for you to do, what's related to your work, what's related to your personal life, what's for someone else on and so forth. I personally love color coding because it just helps me understand my entire month just by looking at the calendar. I do have a few additional tips for you. One, make sure that you are planning realistically. You're gauging how much time the task is going to take very realistically. You are also allowing yourself for some buffers and some breaks. Now here's the example that I do have for you. If you see over here I've written grocery shopping and dry cleaning in a different color because those are personal tasks. Then for example, you have a pet dog named Dollar and you have his vet's appointment on 17 July. You might want to put that in a different color. Then maybe the tasks that you've written in black are related to your work. Again, there are different ways that you can list out the task. Either you can just put a dot, you can put a box so that you can take it. Once it's done, you can make it as a circle, shade it in, or mark it with a cross, and reschedule it to a different day. You can add in a star. You can add a triangle to make sure that it is very important. Use symbols, use color codes, those are very, very helpful. Here you can see that there is a management training course for three days. I've marked it with orange, maybe that means that it is very important for you to attend. Maybe out of office. You're on high alert because you cannot schedule anything on those two days. Maybe you want to mark it with red. When I look at the monthly calendar spread just at a glance, I know that I have a few personal tasks. I have one task related to dollar. I also have a couple of work related tasks and I've also got some, you know, course that I need to attend to. I also need to keep in mind that I am taking some time off in July, All right? So basically, make sure that you are using color codes. You are dividing your life into the different aspects that it belongs to and assigning their own symbols, assigning colors to them. It just helps you understand your entire month just in a glance. And it just makes your life a lot more simpler to know what's happening when. And you don't really have to dig into, you know, figuring out whether grocery shopping is for personal or not. You just know by the color. All right. So this is number one for you. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye. Bye. 3. 2 Schedule Appointments:Meetings: Hi guys. Now we come to the second way that I do have for you, which is appointment and meetings that you can add on your monthly calendar spread. So the first step to do this is to identify all the appointments and meetings that you have for that particular month. And you can segregate it according to which part of your life it belongs to. Maybe some of it is personal commitments, maybe some of it is work related commitments. Work related meetings, so on and so forth. Another way that you can also add like a layer of information for yourself would be to assign importance to those appointments and meetings. And the second step would be to assign time slots. The simplest question to ask yourself when you're assigning time slots is how much time will it take? And make sure you're also accounting for additional time commitments. Like for example, it's going to take you 30 minutes to travel to that appointment. You can add those in as well. Another couple of additional tips that I do have for you is make sure that you're using symbols, color coding. And as I will show you in the example in just a little bit, you can even segment that one particular box into how you segment a day. All right, so let's get into the example that I do have for you over here. I've written Tom 630 at Franni's. If you can see there's a symbol that I've put over here for me. This means that I have to travel to that place. You can have different symbols that mean different things. If for example that's the symbol you see, maybe you can just lightly put 30 minutes over there. So that also tells you your travel time. I've written over here this is super important. I've even marked it with red because it is a PTA meet. And this is the symbols that I drew out for a car. And it's going to take 30 minutes to visit the school, so on and so forth. These are different ways that you can use symbols. You can also color code them. Like for example, green is related to your work. So lunch with boss at 01:00 P.M. and it's very, very important. So maybe you add exclamation marks. Maybe you have some personal commitments as well, like game night or date night. You can add those with a different color vet appointment. Again, different color. Now, I was talking about segmenting your day, right? So you can either segment it as three, like morning, afternoon, and then evening. And then you can also segment it as two either morning and just afternoon. That really depends on you. The way that I see it is when I look at this entire block. I know I've got one appointment in the morning, one appointment in the afternoon, and one appointment in the evening. And it just, again, it's easier for you to get information, for you to be mentally prepared on how that particular day is going to look at when you segment it like this. So you can segment it however you wish to, whichever is comfortable for you. Alternatively, if you don't want to schedule it like that, you don't want to segment it like that, you can just put it in normally as well. All right, so this would be how you would use appointments and meetings to be on your monthly calendar spread. That was number two for you. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 4. 3 Birthdays & Anniversaries: Hey guys, so this is the third way to use a monthly calendar spread, and that is to input birthdays and anniversaries. Now there are a couple of steps for this. The first one is to list out the birthdays and anniversaries, and the second is to list out any additional information regarding that birthday or that anniversary. So maybe you want to list the number years, either like how many years they're turning for that birthday or how many years they've been married for that particular anniversary. You can list out the favorite color of the person in question so that it is helpful for you to buy your gift. You can also list out their favorite place, maybe you'd like to take them there for their birthday, for their anniversary. Make a dinner reservation there. You can also write the gift that you wish to buy, as well as the budget that you have for that particular gift as well. Here's an example that I do have for you. For example, it's Sophia's birthday on Fourth of July, and you wish to buy her earrings, and the budget that you have is $100 Then maybe it's Evelyn's birthday on eighth of July, and she really likes frannies. So you've written frannies over there and just by looking at it, I know that. All right. I need to make a dinner reservation for frannies for that particular day because that's her favorite place to go. You can also put a tick mark if you've actually made the dinner reservation or you've finished buying out the gift for that particular person as well. Maybe it is Michael's and Ava's anniversary and you want to send them flowers to just writing that there Noah and Emma's anniversary, They turn three, you might want to put that in there. Jackson's birthday, He loves the color blue. So anything blue, you know, it's just making sure that you have everything at a glance and you know what exactly you should be doing for their birthday, for their anniversary. So that you can show them how much you love them, you can show them how special they are to you. Also, you can also write little things like by wrapping paper, anything related to birthdays and anniversaries can go on here. All right. That is how you could use for birthdays and anniversaries. That is number three for you. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 5. 4 Hydration Goals: Hey guys, this is the fourth way to use a Monty Calendar Spread and that is to track your hydration goals. Now, there is really just one step for this. It's just to figure out what your hydration goals are and to make sure that you are taking the time to track it. Let's look at the example sheet that I do have for you. One tip that I can say is maybe divide your entire day into eight segments before food, after food, so on and so forth. Whenever you wish to drink water and then slowly mark it. There are different ways that you can market. You can also just use water droplets as a way to visually represent a glass of water. Also market one to five either this way or from down to up. And then show different water levels that you are drinking. And then you can also shade it completely as I've shown over here. Alternatively, you can also give yourself a score 0-10 about how much water you are drinking that particular day. Now the aim of this entire monthly calendar spread is to understand where exactly you are with respect to your hydration goals for that particular day. It also helps you look at the entire month at a glance. Once you're done with it, you can infer, you can make your own decisions for the next month. You can also write in little strategies, tactics that you have for yourself so that you are achieving your hydration goals every single month. The aim of this monthly calendar spread, especially when you're tracking hydration goals, is to make sure that you are consistently tracking it, so that it gives you a good overall view of how you are doing for that particular month. So that would be the fourth way to use the monthly calendar spread. I'll catch you in the next one, Bye bye. 6. 5 Expense Tracking & Budgeting: Hi guys. So this is a fifth way to use a monthly calendar spread and that is for expense tracking and or budgeting. Now, there are a couple of steps that you can take for this. The first one is to list out all of your expenses each month. And you can do that by looking at the expenses that you've had for the previous month, or even just listing out expenses that you anticipate for that particular month. The second step would be to identify categories for each of the expenses that you do have. Maybe some of them are personal, some of them are for recreation, some of them are your utilities. Identify the categories that you are spending money on each month and give a color code for each of the category. Third step is to assign a budget for each category. It can either be you taking an average of how much you've spent in the last couple of months related to that category, or it could also be how much you wish to control that spending for that particular month. Now let's take a look at the example that I do have for you for expense tracking and or budgeting. Maybe rent. You paid 1,500 on Fourth of July, and that was your utilities, that's the color code that you're putting maybe your groceries was 167, but it was way too high. So make sure that you are also indicating that because when I look at this at a glance, I know all right, pink means that I have spent more than I need to for that particular category, Even over here, groceries, it was high. Alternatively, like for example, you've spent $20 on lunch on 14 July. You can write down how much of your budget is remaining for that particular category. This is also one way that you would use it and the marking that you see over here are just two different ways that you can color code. Either you can box it or you can just use it so that when you look at it, you know. All right, I have two things that were related to my utilities and then there was one related to my finances, which was my credit card debt, and then one was gas. And then lunch. You've marked it in yellow and maybe recreation was purple. So when I'm looking, I know exactly what I have spent on for that particular month and it's just an easier way to track your expenses. It's an easier way to budget. It's an easier way to have control over your finances. All right. So that was the fifth way for you. I'll catch you in the next one, Bye. Bye. 7. 6 Set & Monitor Goals: Hi guys. This is the sixth way to use a monthly calendar spread that I have for you, and that is to set and monitor goals. Now, there are really two questions to answer when you are setting and monitoring goals on a monthly calendar spread. So the first question that you would ask yourself is, well, what's the goal for that particular month? And the second question that you'll be asking yourself is, what do you have to do to accomplish that goal? All right, so you would have a couple of deliverables that maybe you have to do every single day or every single week. And you're just using a monthly calendar spread to see how you are doing for that particular month. So let's look into the example that I do have for you. The goal for July, for example, is to improve physical fitness. And maybe on the first of Tuesday, you wanted to take some time to set some goals for yourself. On Wednesday, you wanted to create a weekly workout schedule. Again, everything all of these are related to the overall goal that you have for that particular month. And then maybe on the third day you wanted to purchase some fitness equipment, and you've done it, you've put a tick, so on and so forth. And so maybe you didn't do anything Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but you did take a 30 minute walk on the eighth, a 40 minute cardio, tenth, so on and so forth. So if you're just top part of this right at the glance. Okay. I know that I didn't really do anything four days that week. And maybe you want to make some notes that you want to improve on that. Again, all of this is just information that is helping you make decisions for the next time period that you are looking for. Now again, another way that you can go about this is to give yourself a rank 0-10 about how you feel towards that goal. For that particular day, maybe 14th of July, you didn't do anything. It's zero. You feel zero on ten for that particular day, you did maybe a 15 minute walk every 2 hours. So you'd give that a three. And alternatively, if you did maybe an intensive dance workout, you want to give yourself a seven because you are getting closer to your goal, your monthly goal of improving your physical fitness. Another way that you can go about this is the exact same thing. You can assign colors for how you feel about that particular day. So maybe red, you didn't feel that good. Maybe orange, you felt okay about it. And maybe green is when you feel absolutely great about that particular day. Again, when I look at this entire role, I know that two days in that particular week, I felt really, really good about hitting my goals. And maybe the goal for the next week is to make sure I have more of that color, more of that rank. And maybe if it was two this week, maybe next week I aim for three, so on and so forth. So you can use this as a starting point and monitor your goals in any way possible. That works for you especially, but one thing is there needs to be consistent tracking. There also needs to be time given to analyze the data that you have saying, oh, okay, well this week there were two Marines, there were three reds. That's not good. Next week I'm going to only have two reds maximum and I'm going to try for three greens, so on and so forth. So there needs to be that time given for analyzing the data that you do have, as well as making sure that you are getting better for the next week, so on and so forth. So that, you know, tweaking of your plan, ongoing understanding of your plan is also very, very necessary in this kind of a way to use your monthly calendar spread. That was the sixth way for you. I'll catch you in my next one. Bye bye. 8. 7 Meal Planning: Hi guys. So this is the seventh way to use a monthly calendar spread, and that is for meal planning. There are really two questions that you can ask yourself at this point. The first one is, how many meals for that particular day do you plan for? And the second question is, what would you like to have? All right, so let's look at the example that I have for you. So either you can divide the box into breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the snack, and then fill it in. Or you can have individual dishes for that particular day. This is also something like, for example, the reason why I've color coded it is maybe that's something a particular family member of yours has suggested or they really are craving for it and you just want to make it for them. You can also feel free to draw if that's something that works for you, so that you can just look at it and then it also makes you feel good. Maybe blue is for your sister. She really loves tacos. So maybe that's what you want to do, just adding that little bit of additional information. Also, in my opinion, just makes the monthly calendar spread a little bit more personalized to you. And it also gives you the enthusiasm to make whatever it is that you wish to for that particular day. Alternatively, you can also mention days that you don't want to cook anything because there are leftovers or you're going out for you, either lunch or dinner that particular day. This is how you would use your monthly calendar spread for meal planning. This is the seventh way. I'll catch you in the next one. Good bye. 9. 8 Daily Mood & Emotions: Hi guys. This is the eighth way to use a monthly calendar spread, and that is to track your daily mood and emotions. Now, there aren't really any steps in this per se. It's just whatever you're feeling that way, you're going to put it onto your paper. It would be helpful if you had color codes for specific emotions or feelings that you may be having. Let's take a look at the example that I do have for you. Either you can draw what you are feeling that particular day, or you can draw it as well as write what exactly contributed to the emotion that you were feeling that day. Like for example, you're not feeling that great because workout. Or you were feeling nervous because it was your final exam. Nerves, so on and so forth. Again, another example that I do have for you is you can add in the smiley face. You can also give yourself a rank for that particular day. You can also use a graph to understand what exactly is going on with you every single day and just to track the fluctuations in your emotional state. You can also use a different way of tracking it, use it as bar graphs. Over here I have another example for you where I've actually given color codes for individual emotions. Like for example, relaxed has a different color, angry has a different color. Happy, sad, stressed, so on and so forth. So just mark the entire day with that particular color. So maybe on sixth, you were sad. That was the major emotion that you were feeling that particular day. And on top of that, you can maybe give what didn't work out or why you were feeling that way. If you were feeling relaxed on 13 July, maybe you would want to share a little bit of your thoughts about that particular day, happy on the 20th. Again, you can just write down what made you feel that particular emotion. There are different ways going about this, but for me, the way that I see it is when I look at the entire month of daily mood and emotions, I know what exactly is happening. I know my emotional state as well as my emotional health for that particular month. And it's just a nice way for you to see. All right, well, something made me happy on this particular day, but something did not. So how do I know? Keep bringing myself to a point where I'm feeling stable with my emotions. And so again, this is going to take a little bit of your time for reflections after you filled in for that entire month. And for me, it just really helps to have the entire month at a glance. Because maybe there was something that happened that particular month and it affected my mood for the entire month. So it's just understanding myself as a person. And I think every single person, you know, it's really helpful to know how you are feeling every single day. And I think that also helps one get closer to how they want to feel every single day. All right. So that is number eight for you. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 10. 9 Daily Gratitude: Hi guys. This is the ninth way to use a Monty Calendar Spread and that is for your daily gratitude. Now, especially when it comes to life, I feel that sometimes we are so focused on what we do not have that we lose sight of what we do have and we tend to take what we do have for granted. This is just a way to bring that focus back to what you do have. There are three different ideas that I do have for you. One, you could just put in a word for that particular day. Like for example, you are grateful for your health, family choices. Maybe the warmth that you feel. So it could just be one word that relates to what we are grateful for. It could also be just a phrase like loving, supportive family, cherished quality time, so on and so forth. Or it could be a complete sentence. Like for example, today I found my old journal and it was so heartwarming to read it. Or I went to see grandma and she made me delicious biscuits. So there are three different ideas that I do have for you. I also have a couple more ideas that can help you with your daily gratitude. So they could be specific instances, specific words, specific people or animals, specific circumstance, specific feelings, specific choices, specific experiences, specific winds, specific memories, specific environment and or specific progress, each of the ideas that I have for you, you can do it in three different formats. That is the ninth way to use a monthly calendar spread. I'll catch you in the next one, bye bye. 11. 10 Highlight of the Day: Hey guys, so this is the tenth way to use a monthly calendar spread, and that is to write your day's highlight or even just use it as a memory tracker. One question that you would answer to fill this would be, what was one thing that stood out for you that particular day? Let's look at the example that I do have for you over here. You can see that I've written a couple of days highlights and I've also color coded them so you can do that. It could be related to maybe yellow is for friends, like met Josie after two years. Maybe pink is for family or personal relationships. Like then took his first steps or bought a cute black dress for date night. And maybe performance review went amazing. So that's related to your work. And so it's marked with blue. The way that I see it is you look at this and one it tells you that you are actually making memories every single day. And it's also just a way for you to feel good at the end of the month or whenever you look back at how your life has progressed. You know that, well, this happened on this day and this was something that made me feel good. This was something that stood out to me on that particular day. I know that sometimes life can feel like it's just whizzing past us and this is just a way for you to slow down and actually remember that each day you are living has some takeaway for you and you are just tracking that with this. All right, so that is the tenth way to fill out your monthly calendar spread. And I will catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 12. 11 Track Habit: Hey guys, so this is the 11th way to use a monthly calendar spread and that is to track your habit. The first question that you'd be asking yourself is, what's the habit that you wish to track? And the second question that you'll be asking yourself is, how would you like to track that habit? I've got an example sheet for you. Either you can market with a box, you can shade the entire box, you can put a slash over that box to show that you have completed the habit. So for example, you are tracking how many minutes you're going for a walk every single day. Maybe put in details of that particular habit that you are tracking and also give it a color code like, for example, 35 minutes was your peak and you feel good about it, so it's orange. Or if it was beyond 50 minutes, that was super awesome. So maybe it's red. There are different ways that you can color code whatever it is that you are tracking at a glance. If you just look at this entire role, can see that there are two oranges over here. One green, two blues, and two reds. So you can make a decision on how you want the next week to be, so on and so forth. For me, when you color code it, it's just a way for you to visually understand where you are at. It also helps you understand where you want to be. Another way that you can use colors is to track it this way, like fill out the entire box with where you are at. You can also shade and give yourself a rank for that particular day. You can give yourself a rank and talk about why you gave yourself that particular rank. Maybe you're tracking the habit of not spending impulsively. Maybe you give yourself a score of nine for that particular day and then you write controlled my spending. Woohoo. An alternative way to track your habit is to give yourself a line graph. So put rank one to five or score one to five, and then just watch how it goes. And then soon you have the entire month. And again, that just tells you where you are at with respect to the habit that you are tracking. So this is the 11th way to use a monthly calendar spread. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 13. 12 Weather Tracking: Hi guys. So this is the 12th way to use a monthly calendar spread and that is for weather tracking. So if you are someone whose activities depend heavily on the weather, this might be something you'd like to consider. Either you can draw out the weather, you can add in what's the temperature going to be like. So when you look at it, you know right off the track that it's going to be raining that day, but there is also going to be a little bit of sunshine. And so you can plan your activities as well. Alternatively, if you are someone who likes to track the weather that you are experiencing every single day, that could also be something that you do the same as well. Again, you can add in color codes for different temperatures so that you can write the activity that you've planned over here. And then color code that particular day with whatever temperature or the weather that you are going to be experiencing. Maybe red means it's going to be higher temperatures, so you have to plan your activities accordingly. Again, you can use a line graph for your temperature. You can use a box with the color code related to that particular temperature. These are just a few ideas that I have for you when it comes to weather tracking. This is the 12th way and I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 14. 13 Quote Or Intention of the Day: Hi guys, so this is the 13th way to use a monthly calendar spread. And that is coat of the day or intention of the day. This is a really good way if you want to be intentional about your thoughts, feelings, your actions for that particular day when you start out the day. Ideally, you would put a coat for that particular day in the box related to that particular day. Now either you can do it as a coat like a couple of words, or it can just be one word that you want to be intentional about for that particular day. Like you want to be a little bit more patient. You want your thoughts, your feelings, your actions and your beliefs of that particular day to be very intentional, related to patients. Then that could be the word that you slot in at the beginning of your day. Again, a few ideas that I do have for you is it can be related to different categories of your life. Maybe health, money, home, love, and then you have a particular coat or intention for that particular aspect of your life. So if you see over here, invest for rainy days, that is related to money. Be love. Attract love that is related to love. And then build memories, not walls, like it's something related to your home life that you want to be intentional about. Whichever area of your life that you feel needs your attention, needs an intention for that particular day. You can slot it in. Also, you know, just a tip that I do have for you. Maybe for that particular month you focused a lot on money intention and maybe for the next month you want to focus more on health. Or maybe that's one particular area that's lacking and you want to be more intentional about. This also just helps you track the areas of your life that you're intentional about so that you can adjust what needs more attention. What needs less attention? What do you want to be more intentional about? Right? So of course you can use it as phrases. You can also just add in words like, for example, related to health, wellness, debt free, related to money. You can also, alternatively, if you've got really good skills in calligraphy, also just write it beautifully. I personally don't have that skill, but this is the best that I could. So that's also one more way, and it just looks really nice. And at the end of the month, it helps you understand what you've been intentional about. And it also shows your progress towards being intentional about your day and actually taking each day by being cognizant of how you are showing up. And I think that's wonderful. All right, so that is the 13th way to use a monthly calendar spread. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 15. 14 Plan Travel: Hi guys, so this is the 14th way to use a monthly calendar spread and that is to plan your travel. Step number one would be to figure out when you're flying out and when you're flying back in. Step number two would be to detail out the places that you are going to be visiting in that time period. And step number three would be to detail out what you will be doing on that particular day, in that particular location. So let's take a look at the example that I do have for you. Maybe your flight to Paris is at 12:55 P.M. and your flight back to JFK is at 12:15 P.M. on the 25th. So six to 25th are the days that you are going to be traveling. And maybe there are a couple of places over here that you have planned. I've given them a specific color code. So visually I know all right, it's two days in Paris, and then I've also got a couple of days in Amsterdam, so on and so forth. And then if you see over here in Paris, there are, you know, two things that I want to do. Or the next day. The second day that I'm in Paris. Yeah. Well, there's two more things that I want to see or do, so on and so forth. So that's one way that you would use this to plan your travel. It's just easy because you've got the whole month spread and you've also got enough space to write down what exactly you wish to do on that particular day. And it gives you some sort of structure for your travel. So that is the 14th way. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 16. 15 Medicine Schedule Tracking: Hi guys, so this is the 15th way to use the monthly calendar spread and that is to track your medication schedules. So the first step is for you to figure out what medicines you have to take for which part of the day. And here's the example sheet that I do have for you. I've given you a couple of ways that you can track your medication schedule. So the first one would be to divide the entire block into three, if you can see the black line over here. So that's three parts of a day, Morning, afternoon and evening. So maybe it's like after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner. You can also color code the different medicines that you're taking. Maybe in the morning you need to have, maybe in the afternoon after lunch, you've got to have A. You've also got to have A after dinner and you've also got to have C. And then you can just put a tick mark once you're done with that, that's one format that you can use. The second format is to market with the color code of that particular medication and just write the time and then put a tick. Once you're done, you can also divide the block into how many ever times you have to be taking that medication. 09:00 A.M. is the one, 01:00 P.M. and Em is your A PM as your C and then you just market. Once you're done with it, you can also alternatively use circles. You can also use a box, or you can just market with that particular medication and just write for morning, for evening. So it's just a simple way for you to have your medication schedule at a glance. You know whether you've actually been following up with it and you know what to take next as well. All right. So that is number 15 for you. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 17. 16 Sleep Tracking: Hi guys, so this is the 16th way to use a monthly calendar spread and that is to track your sleep patterns. So I'm just going to go over the example for you. One example that I have is that you can actually just do a line graph of how well you are sleeping. So just have one to five and then give yourself a rank for that day. Alternatively, you can put a rank 0-10 just to show how well you're sleeping. And this can actually help you track. And maybe at the end of the month you can look back or the next week you can make sure that you are having better sleep. Taking your precautions, taking the necessary steps to make sure that you are having an optimal sleep. That's one format that you can use. The second idea that I have for you is that you can track your sleep time and wake up time. That's exactly what I've done over here just as an example. Alternatively, if you are someone who keeps waking up in the night, maybe you want to track the times that you are waking up. Or maybe you want to track something that you are doing, some habit that you are doing before you sleep or after you wake up. Maybe this can be that you had 30 minutes of no phone time. You just kind of track whether you're doing that screen time before bed, and then on the 19th you didn't, so on and so forth. So that's also something that you can track with relation to your sleep patterns. Again, another way that you can go about it is to write about how you woke up. So for example, you woke up feeling groggy or you woke up feeling alert. That's also one more way where you can identify what is contributing to your state the next morning. Then you can also give yourself different color codes of how you're feeling. Like good, better, best, not good, and then you shade the box. This is just an example. Maybe you slept well, but you woke up sleepy. So it was good. It was not really the best. Then maybe better was that you didn't wake up in the night the whole time and you woke up alert. And maybe the best case scenario for you is when you woke up you were calm and rested and you also had a good dream, so on and so forth. So this is just an example where you can track your sleep patterns with the monthly calendar spread. All right, so that is number 16 for you. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 18. 17 Physical Health Stats Tracking: Hi guys, so this is the 17th way that you can use a month calendar spread and that is to track your physical health status. This can be anything related to whatever it is that you're looking for that you wish to track. Maybe you want to track your steps. These are just examples. Maybe you want to track the BP, your weight. Maybe your BMI, your RHR, your glucose, your sugar. Or maybe you just want to give yourself a ranking depending on whatever it is that you are tracking. So this is going to be a pretty simple one because it's just about determining what you wish to track. Or if there's something that you want to keep in touch with, you want to be intentional about, you want to know what's going on with relation to your physical health. Then those would be the stats that you just track with the monthly calendar spread. All right, so that is number 17 for you. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 19. 18 30 Day Challenges: Hi guys, so this is the 18th way to use a monthly calendar spread, and that is for 30 day challenges. So there are a couple of steps that you need to take when you're filling out a monthly calendar spread like this. So the first step is to determine what exactly is the challenge going to be? All right, What is it that you really want to do for 30 whole days? Now the second step is to understand how you want to carry out the challenge. Do you want to have the same activity for 30 days? Or do you want to have a different activity for each day of those 30 days? Now the third step is to figure out what is your reward going to be after the 30 day challenge? It's just an incentive for you to keep going and to make sure that you are keeping your spirits up high. All right, so these are the three steps for you. Let's take a look at the example that I have for you. So there are different ways that you can go about the 30 day challenge. Like different ways that you can track it. One, you can just scratch out the day that you've completed the challenge, and then you can shade it. You can draw a box around it. Maybe the box signifies how well you did the challenge. You can use different colors for that. You can either put a tick mark, that's also okay, or if you are having different activities for the entire month's challenge, then you can write down the activity and then just put a tick mark once you're done with that particular activity. Like for example over here, the challenge for that particular day, like ninth of July, is to write three things that you are grateful for. Then on 11th of July, it's 30 minute nature walk, maybe 20 minutes of meditation, so on and so forth. You get to decide what you want to do for that particular day and how you wish to track it as well. Of course, don't forget to give yourself a reward at the end of the challenge as well. Just a really nice way to remind yourself to keep going to tell yourself, you know, hey, you've actually accomplished a pretty big 30 day challenge that is commendable. You deserve whatever it is that, you know makes you happy. All right? So that is the 18th way to use a monthly calendar spread. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 20. 19 Track Your Cycle: Hi guys, so this is the 19th way to use a monthly calendar spread and that is to track your cycle. Now you can do this for anything and everything related to your cycle. A few examples that I do have for you is to maybe track your body temperature. Give yourself a ranking for how you're feeling. And then add in some symptoms you might be feeling, different ways that you can track it. You can draw a line, you can put a circle, you can do some sort of a triangle thing top. You can box it. You can track your entire cycle as well like different phases of the cycle. So it really depends on you. This is completely on you and it's personalized to what is important for you, what is required by you so that you feel comfortable about the phases that you're experiencing. All right, so that is number 19 for you. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 21. 20 Milestones Hit or Achievements: Hi guys, This is the 20th way to use a monthly calendar spread and that is to track your milestones, hit, and achievements. Now the reason why you would do this is just to remind yourself that you are doing amazing. It is to remind yourself that you are making progress in different areas of your life. And sometimes life can feel very monotonous, sometimes it can feel like you're not making any progress at all, regardless of how hard you're working. So this is just a way for you to keep looking back and saying, oh wait, no, I actually did achieve this and that I have made progress and I am getting somewhere. And that really helps to give you the encouragement to keep going further and to keep scaling new heights. All right, so let's look at the example that I do have for you. So I personally like to divide it into different aspects of my life. So for example, you career relationships, personal finances, and then you write your achievements according to whichever aspect that you have hit the milestone or you've achieved. So for example, fifth of July, you've cleared your student loan debt and that comes under finances. Maybe ninth of July was five years with Mark and that comes under relationships, maybe for personal, that's on 22nd of July, you went for your first session. And then maybe in terms of your career, you won the most promising newcomer award. And so when I look at this spread, I know that I have achieved something in different aspects, you know, and it's not just one that I've hyper focused on. So that also gives you a sense that you're leading a balanced life. All right? So that is the 20th way for you. I'll catch you in the next one, Bye bye. 22. 21 Track Deadlines: Hi guys. This is the 21st way to use a monthly calendar spread and that is to track your deadlines. Now the sole purpose of this monthly calendar spread is to know when your deadlines are. So there's no other additional information that you'll be putting into this. And it's just a simple way for you to see what's due when. And also it makes sure that you are not overwhelmed with information. So it's just about plain old simple deadlines to put on here. All right, so a couple of steps that you can take. Step number one is to figure out all the deadlines that you have. And step number two is to categorize them according to which area of your life the deadline is. Or even if it is a deadline for work, maybe you want to categorize it even further. Maybe one deadline is for marketing, one for sales, one for operations, so on and so forth. The more detailed you can go into your categorization, the easier it becomes for you to understand what's going on and what needs to be delivered when just when you look at your monthly calendar spread. And of course you are going to assign color codes for each of the categories that you put. So let's take a look at the example that I have for you. Maybe pink is work related, maybe there's an X, Y, Z application due on 5 July. There's also a feedback form due on 23 July. Green is a course that you are doing ABC assignment due and PQR assignment due on the 18th. Maybe blue is your personal life, so maybe you have to send all the invites by today. This is just an example. You can do it as you wish. But the important thing for this particular way is to only mention the deadlines. It's just at a glance. Deadlines. And of course, you can use another monthly spread where you would outline how to get to the deadline or what work to start to make sure that you're getting to the deadline. But the sole purpose of this particular format is just to know what needs to be delivered when and so that it just doesn't overwhelm you. All right, so that is the 21st way for you. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 23. 22 Progress Tracker: Hi guys, This is the 22nd way to use a monthly calendar spread and that is to track your progress. So there are really just two steps in this. The first one is to figure out what exactly is due, what exactly do you want to track your progress for? Step number two is to actually track your progress every single day. So let's take a look at the example that I do have for you. So maybe on first of July, you reviewed guidelines, maybe on fourth, you researched on XYZ. The very simple way is just to write down what you did that particular day. And of course after that you can go in, maybe there were different stages that you wish to track, so you can give those separate color codes, so on and so forth. So the very simple basis of this is just to help you understand what you did that particular day. And of course, if you want to make notes, if you want to review it, you want to take some time to analyze it. That can also be done in the progress tracker. All right. So that is the 22nd way for you. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 24. 23 Project Planning & Tracking: Hey guys, so this is the 23rd way of using a monthly calendar spread and that is for project planning and tracking. We'll go straight to the example that I do have for you. So over here if you can see, I've divided the box into two sections. At the top part would be for project planning, what is it that you hope to accomplish for that particular day? And then the bottom can be your tracking. What did you actually accomplish? That particular over here, you would do your normal project planning and then over here you would just write whatever it is that you did that particular day. And you have to take some time to analyze if you actually did hit the objective or the plan that you had. And then maybe even put a tick mark. Maybe even move some things around if you have to. It's a normal project planning and tracking, but this is just one format that you can use for yourself. The second is to write down whatever it is that you planned for that particular day. And then put a tick mark if you did accomplish put across you didn't. And then maybe if you have to shift it around, so on and so forth. Then the third format that I do have for you as an example is to use a gain chart. Each activity would have a color code. And then you could just write down, all right, well orange activity, I have to do it on the 15th and 16th. And then green activity, it can't start until mid of Tuesday morning and then it'll go on until 17th. And then the pink activity can't start until, you know, orange, green, and blue have finished. And only then can I begin with pink, so on and so forth. So it's just a visual way for you to understand where exactly you are with the project that you have. And of course your tracking could be that you write on top of it what you did accomplish for that particular activity. So these are three different formats that I do have for you. Very simply put, the monthly calendar spread for project planning and tracking is a, to help you define what exactly you are going to do for that particular project. And also tracking what you did do in comparison to what you had planned. And to make sure that you are tweaking it ever so often and making sure that you know your plan as well as what you are actually doing are going straight together. Hand in hand. All right. So that is number 23 for you. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 25. 24 Catch All Planner: Hi guys, This is the 24th way to use a multi calendar spread, and that is to use it as a catch all planner or tracker. The only way to go about this is to figure out all the things that you wish to catch on a multi calendar spread. And just to keep track of it or even take some time to plan things out related to that particular aspect. Let's take a look at the example that I do have for you. Here are two different ideas that I have for you. If you're tracking two things, maybe you can draw a line and then track the first one on top, the second one below. If there are four things that you're tracking, maybe you can divide the box into four. This is really your way of going about it. Now also, alternatively, here's another idea. Maybe over here below, you're tracking your water intake, Maybe LD and then your grocery, how much you're spending. And also maybe something else, maybe Jess's birthday or anniversary, so on and so forth. So these are different ways that you can track, but basically, a catch all planner or a tracker would be to have one monthly calendar spread where it has everything that you are looking for and all the information that you need for your life at that particular point. This is one way that you can go about it. All right, so that is the 24th way. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 26. 25 To Do List: Hi guys. So this is the 25th way to use a monthly calendar spread, and that is to use it as a to do list. Very simply put, whatever is on your to do list goes on the monthly calendar spread. Here are a few examples that I do have for you and a couple of ideas to actually use it as a to do list. You can either draw boxes and put tick marks. You can put a circle shape them once it's done or even put a tick mark once it's done and then you can write them as numbers. Alternatively, you can also divide the section into three different parts to do. List, maybe one in the morning, one in the afternoon, one in the evening, and then put a tick. Once it's done, you can also use color codes to help you understand the order priority or even the importance of that particular task. You can also alternatively use color codes to determine which aspect of your life does that to do item belong to. Like for example pay phone bill. This would be related to your personal and then buy gift for Tracy. Make dinner reservations could be related to your family file for application or even review form. Like the pink color could represent maybe work stuff. All right, so this is just an idea and an example for you to go about your to do list on a monthly calendar spread. This is the 25th way. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 27. 26 Brain Dump: Hi guys, so this is the 26th way to use a monthly calendar spread and that is to use it as a brain dump page. Now, honestly, brain dump pages are amazing because they really help to reduce your stress. And they're just a way to help you, you know, enhance your memory because everything that's in your mind that you would have otherwise forced yourself to remember or made an extra effort to remember, you're putting it on paper so it can be anything and everything that's on your mind, it just goes on the paper, All right? And so for example, on 3 July maybe you were just walking around and suddenly the thought in your mind is maybe you know the goal for next month should be patients. And then maybe you realize that you needed to buy a new cereal pack. Maybe you also realize you needed to call someone at 06:30 so on and so forth. So these are just, you know, an example of what you can use a brain dump page for. But it really does help to free up your mental space because now everything's on paper and you're no longer making that effort to remember it. And it also helps you with time management because now that it's on paper, you can actually sit and organize your thoughts a little bit more clear. And it can help you plan your next steps as well. So that is the 26th way that I do have for you. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 28. 27 Social Media Planner: Hi guys, so this is the 27th way to use a monthly calendar spread and that is to use it as a social media planner. Now, if you are a business owner or a entrepreneur and you do post on social media for your business, this would be a great way for you to actually plan out your social media content for your business. Now, there are three different examples that I do have for you. The first example over here, the top row, is to figure out the action items related to your social media and to put them in each of the box related to the date that you wish to accomplish it. So for example, first of July, you want to create a plan for the next year. It goes on for the next three days. And then you want to check analytics and insights. And you want to respond to comments on a particular day, so on and so forth. So this is idea number one, that you can use this as a social media planner. Idea number two is to write down what content you will be posting on which day. Like for example, on seventh of July, you want to post a poll on ninth, you want to do a how to video on 11th. You want to plan for a live Q and A session, so on and so forth. So this would be more about what content is going out, what content has been scheduled. Third way to go about it is to maybe have a dedicated time period that you are creating some sort of buzz for your business. Or there's some activity that you want to hyper focus on and to write action items for that particular activity that you've planned out. For example, in this, there's a product launch from 14th to 20th, and you've got a couple of things that you wish to post during that day, so that would be dedicated posts for that particular activity. Alternatively, you can also have a product launch for that period, but then you write down the tasks that you have at the back end for that particular activity. So there are different ways that you can go about it to use it as a social media planner. That really just depends on you and what you're looking for. But these are a couple of ideas that I do have for you. So this is the 27th way to use a monthly calendar spread. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 29. 28 Reading Tracker: Hi guys, This is the 28th way to use a monthly calendar spread, and that is to use it as a reading tracker. Now, there are a number of reasons why one would be using a reading tracker. The first reason could be perhaps you are looking to get into the habit of reading and you want some accountability. You really want to track your progress so that it continues to motivate you. Another reason could be that maybe you're an avid reader and you want to keep track of the books that you're reading. You want to keep track of the takeaways, the lessons, the reflections that you have for each book that you read. Yeah, that could also be why you would use a reading tracker. Here are a couple of ideas that I do have for you to use it as a reading tracker. The first one could be to track the time that you're spending reading a book for that particular day. Especially if you're a new be reader. You want to maybe start small and then just see how much you're actually reading each day and making sure that you're being consistent with your reading habit. That's one idea that I do have for you. The second one could be, again, you draw it as a line graph and it goes according to the minutes that you've spent or the number of pages that you've managed to read for that particular day. That's also one way that you can go about it if you are tracking your reading habit, like you want to make it as a habit. Alternatively, you can just put a slash on the box that correlates to the date that you read the book. Also, you can maybe give a color code for the different books that you're reading and write down your reflections on it. Write down the emotions that you are feeling, your thoughts on it. Really, you can go about this any number of ways. Again, another idea that I do have for you is to write the total number of pages of the book and then just see how you're going through the month or through the week, Okay. Again, another idea that I do have for you is, for example, you're reading three different books. Maybe you want to, you just see how much you're reading every single day. So you can use the same color, you can use different colors for different books. That's really up to you. All right, so here are a few ideas to use the monthly calendar spread as a reading tracker. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 30. 29 Faith Spiritual Volunteer Planner: The 29th way to use a monthly calendar spread and that is to use it as a faith spiritual planner tracker. Alternatively, you can use this to track your community work, your social work, your volunteer work. That really just depends on you. Here are a few ideas that I do have for you, so maybe you can write about how you are relating each day towards your spiritual growth or your faith growth. Alternatively, you can write verses that caught your attention, verses that you really deeply resonate with. Codes that relate to your spiritual growth. Codes that you want to be intentional about, affirmations related to your spiritual journey, so on and so forth. And of course, the other idea that I had for you was, you know, community social work or even volunteer work, so you can just keep track of it. Like, for example, maybe you have a blood donation drive at 07:00 A.M. on 18 July. Or maybe you are a volunteer at a pet shelter, you know, and you have to be there by 08:00 A.M. so on and so forth. So this is really any which way that you wish to take it, and it ripply depends on what you prefer and what you wish to plan for and track. All right, so that is the 29th way to use a monthly calendar spread. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 31. 30 Photo or Draw of the Day: Hi guys. This is the 30th way to use a monthly calendar spread. And that is to use it as a photo of the day or draw of the day. Now this is just a really fun way to use your monthly calendar spread. Now as you can see over here, really the best at drawing, but I did my best. Here you can see May 1 day, you visited the reptile farm. You put a snake over there. Maybe a day out with mom, maybe you had delicious ramin. It's just a really fun way where you take precious memories of that particular day and you draw it out. Alternatively, if there's a photo that you've clicked that day, you might want to just print it out and put it as well. Of course, that's a little bit more work according to me rather than drawing it out. But really you can go about it any which way that you wish to it basically, I guess what captured your attention that particular day or what is the memory that you wish to take away from that particular day? What was the highlight of that particular day? And then you just draw it out so that when you look back maybe after a couple of months, you know, it's just a way to bring back precious memories that you've stored away in these little pockets. All right? So that is the 30 year way that I do have for you. I'll catch you the next one. Bye bye. 32. 31 Win of the Day: Hi guys, This is the 31st way to use a monthly calendar spread and that is to write down your win of the day. This is very simple. What was the win of the day for you? And it doesn't have to be something really big. You don't have to wait for something amazing to happen. Sometimes even getting out of bed, learning a new skill, sending a positive E mail, reaching out to a friend, overcoming a fear, trying out a new recipe. Even those can be a win for your day. And it's just a way to remind you that wins don't really have to always necessarily be the big, big things that massively change your life. Now sometimes they are just everyday actions, and those two are impactful for your life. Those two make a huge difference. And when you look back at the month and you see it completely filled out, just like I have written as an example for you over here. It does make you feel good. It makes you feel like, yes, you know, the life that you're living. There is some progress to it. There is some indication that you are actually winning every single day. All right. So it's good way to use a monthly calendar spread. And also to help you raise your self esteem. To help you raise your confidence. To help you feel better about yourself as well. Okay, so that is the 31st way to use a monthly calendar spread. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 33. 32 Affirmation of the Day: Hi guys. So this is the 32nd way to use a multi calendar spread and that is to use it for affirmation of the day. So there are a couple of steps to go about this. The first one is to understand what exactly you're struggling with for that particular day. What is a belief that you are struggling to believe? What is something that you really want to remind yourself? The second step is to find a statement that you can keep repeating to yourself for that particular day. Just so that you can be intentional about what you are feeling about yourself, what you are feeling about the situation that you're in, or even what you're feeling about your life at the moment. Here are a couple of examples that I do have for, you know, maybe July 1. You really want to remind yourself that you are enough. Like I am enough. I am loved, I am courageous. I am blessed. I am mindful. I attract success. So whatever it is that you feel you're struggling for that particular day, choose a statement that helps you feel otherwise or helps you cope with the situation better. Helps you strengthen your belief in yourself, in your capabilities, in your own power. All right. So that would be the 32nd way to use a monthly calendar spread. I'll catch you in the next one. Bye bye. 34. 33 Self care: Hi guys. This is the 33rd way to use a monthly calendar spread, and that is to track your self care activities. In this, there are a couple of steps. The first one is, what do you define as a self care activity for you? What makes you feel good? Very simply put. Now, what's a self care activity for one person? May not be a self care activity for you. It's important for you to figure out what actually works for you in particular. And either you can use it as a planner, where you just write down all the self care activities that you wish to accomplish for that particular day and you just put a tick once you're done. Or it can also be a tracker where you've completed that for that particular day and you just want to make a note that that is what you did for that particular day. You can go about it any which way, but remember, self care activities are personal, they are unique to you. Find what makes you feel good basically. It's just that, okay?

This is the 34th way to use a monthly calendar spread and that is to use it as a happiness compilation. So the simplest way to go about this is whatever made you happy in that particular moment, just write it down. That's it. It's just as simple as that. So, for example, you know, maybe on third of July, you watch the sunrise and it just absolutely lit you up. Maybe you caught yourself laughing with your mom on Fifth of July, and that made you happy. Maybe you found a quiet moment to yourself on 16 July, and that also made you happy. So there are so many different ways that you can go about this, but the important thing is to recognize moments when you're feeling happy and to write it down so that this becomes a compilation of all the things that made you happy at some point in your life.

So ideally, you'd be tracking your mental, emotional, and physical state, the symptoms related to that. And it's very simply put, what are you thinking, feeling, or experiencing that particular day? And then you categorize it as your mental state, your emotional state, or your physical state. Now this is just a way for you to keep track of your state of beings.

Maybe you can just write down the news of that particular day. Just the headlines like for example, trade war escalates or Historic Summit help, so on and so forth. Or you can track stock prices of a particular company that you're interested in. Or alternatively, you can divide news of the day into different aspects like finance, hometown, interest and maybe world. And then, you know, depending on what caught your attention for that particular day, you can just give it a color code. Like for example, in finance, stocks hit record or interest rates increase, so on and so forth. And maybe around your hometown, maybe the new park opened on 16 July or the local business expands, so on and so forth. So here are a few more ideas that I do have for you that you can actually put in your monthly calendar spread for news of the day. So you can put in current events, you can put in economic indicators, political developments, technology advancements, you know, cultural and entertainment news, sports, social issues that you're interested in.

Now the don't break the chain method is a productivity technique that was introduced by comedian Jerry Seinfeld. Basically, the technique involves creating a visual representation of your progress by marking an X. Ideally. When you see consecutive Xs, it just helps boost your motivation to keep continuing because it looks really, really satisfying, doesn't it? Here's how you would implement the don't break the chain method. The first step would be to choose a specific task or habit that you wish to track your progress. And then you get a calendar spread like this. Then basically once you've done that task, you mark an X on that particular day. It's really just as simple as that. Nothing else comes on your calendar, just the plain old simple X. If you do it the next day, you just mark an X and then so on and so forth. The goal is to have as many consecutive Xs as possible. The reason why this method works so well is visually, it looks amazing Visually, it really just gives you that motivation because it's a tangible way of seeing your progress and it builds momentum. Also you do three and then you really want to keep going to 456. That's also another way that it helps you. And of course, when you look at this spread, you've finished 23 days of the month and you've got Xs on all of them. It does give you a sense of accomplishment as well. And it also helps you establish a routine because now you really want to put that X on that particular day, right? It just becomes natural for you to add that habit into your routine and that's what it really is about. I guess a tiny tip that I would give you for the don't break the chain method is to start small start with a realistic goal that you can actually see yourself doing every single day and then just start. All right? And of course, don't forget to celebrate once you've hit 31 or 30 days of you achieving the don't break the chain method to its maximum. All right? Yeah, that is the 37th way for you. I'll catch you next one. Bye bye. 39. 38 Priority of the Day: Hi guys. This is the 38th way to use a monthly calendar spread and that is to have a priority of the day. And I just want to highlight it is just one that you'll be putting for that particular day. This just helps you hyper focus on what's really important and what actually needs to be accomplished that particular day. I know sometimes you get get so overwhelmed with a huge list of tasks, this helps you just narrow down what's supposed to be done that day regardless of whether you can get to the other tasks or not. Like I mentioned, it's just one that you will be putting on the monthly spread. Yes, you may have other tasks, but on this monthly spread, there's just going to be one for that particular day. Alternatively, you can segregate into different aspects of your life, color code them, and also match the priority of the day with that particular aspect of your life. Just as an example, let's take a look over here. Maybe a set clear goals and you've done it. Maybe you review task list that was your priority of the day. That was the most important thing that you had to do, rain or shine for that particular day. And then over here in this row, it's just another idea that I do have for you. Maybe for work, you had to communicate with the team that was very, very important. That was your priority of the day and you've accomplished, and you also know which area of your life it belongs to. Alternatively, this is just another visual representation, maybe in your finances. You had to take some time today to track your expenses. This was absolutely important for you to work through and that was your priority of the day and it belongs to the financial aspect of your life. All right. So this is just an idea that I have for you. Like I said, the aim of this monthly spread is to make sure there is just one priority. You could have add their task, that's okay, but is one that you have to accomplish for that particular day and that's what this monthly spread is all about.
