Great podcast Melitta! I know I'm getting better at it and a bit faster than I was before your helpful advice. So this is another step along the road to an orderly social media strategy. Thanks.

My goal this week is to get my act together to prepare for finally, finally biting the bullet and launching my book. I just had a great chat with Melitta who has very kindly given me some great ideas as to how to make it easier. I am so grateful and appreciative of Melitta's time and input and can wholeheartedly recommend that you all do likewise with those points you feel stuck on. Thank you SO much Melitta.

Hi there Melitta. Sorry I missed the session, but I have listened to the replay. I have developed a system for myself which is remarkably similar to yours. I use a template that I made myself. V simple, a table on Word. I add lines at the top of the table, so that today is always at the top of the document - no scrolling down unless to look for something. I start a new table each year. For some years I have used it every day. I listed things for gratitude and also had a column for visualisations and affirmations to help keep me going. I have a column for routine things to do every day - eg learning some Portuguese (because i live here and want to get better but also learning languages is a hobby of mine). Then I have a column for something I need to do that particular day. As you say it is easy to keep up as a lot of it is repetitive. Of course I do miss out doing it some days and have to do a catch up or something but I treat myself kindly! A few months ago I started working with an accountability friend. We work together on zoom at the same time but on our own tasks. We do a pomodoro 30 minutes then have a 5-10 minute chat on what we've done, maybe get a coffee or do a few little exercises/stretches. We do 3 such half hour sessions 3 times a week although we are flexible about it. As a result I have sort of changed my list and now tend to list actions to take during the week rather than on a daily basis. On the whole, I think the daily system for planning/working out what to do works better and there is a real pleasure in ticking off the daily routines in the done column! But I'm still working on improving a weekly list, so the jury is still out. Thanks for your excellent session on getting stuff done.

It's amazing what an accountability buddy does for productivity.

You are so right but some times it is hard to ask for help.

Here is a post that I put together after the class.
