I’ve been trying something new with my schedule. Although I usually time-block my days, things don’t always go as planned. To improve upon future scheduling and time management, I’ve begun tracking what actually happens each day, compared to my initial scheduling. I can start to learn what tasks regularly take longer or shorter than I think they will. I’m using our Daily Schedule Magic notepad, but you can use whatever planner or notepad works best for you!

It’s not always easy to prioritize self-care, nor is it always simple to come up with the best ways to care for yourself. We wanted to round up some ideas for low-cost (and some no-cost!) self-care habits to help you during this time of social distancing.

We get a lot of questions about what to track in your Habit Calendar. So we compiled this list of 100 (!) habits that you can track daily, weekly, or monthly. They are broken down into categories so that you can pull from these ideas based on your priorities. Not sure where to begin? We also have a free downloadable Brainstorm Guide so you can figure out what habits would be most helpful to you!

Are you entering mindless scrolling loops more and more these days? Us, too. That's why we came up with a 7-Day Challenge to put you in the Slow Social mindset, allowing you to consume social media less, and get a huge amount of brain space back in return.

Are you new to working from home? Not sure how to keep a productive schedule throughout the day? Can't find good habits that stick? Or maybe you've been operating from your home office for a while, but could still use some advice to up your game? As creative professionals who are pretty familiar with WFH life, we're here to help.
