Hello comrades and welcome to the fourth improvement megathread of November! 
Some discussion ideas:
+ How was your week?
+ Do you have some plans for next week?

I have never successfully used a calendar app, a planner, nor SMART plans. Though I feel like these would do me a lot of good in the moment I’m currently in. Any advice in making plans that are worth a damn?
Just get busy
For me, calendars became a necessity rather than an option
Now I don’t know how I live without them
It depends, what is your plan? I sometimes use Google Calendar to make reminders for myself. You can make a schedule in the calendar and then it sends you a notification on your phone whenever a new time block begins. It’s very useful for keeping yourself on track. For example, you can make a reminder every day at 10am that just says “Let’s go chief, it’s time to do 20 minutes of building toward [insert your main goal]”
I guess it’s that I have a few different pieces of a project to put together. I need to anonymize some sections to get it ready to open source, I have to have different deliverables for different people, and there’s some more work I could do to make it a little more user friendly. It’s got me feeling overwhelmed and like time has finally caught up to me. I feel like if I organized the pool of tasks into a plan it would give me a lot less anxiety. But I’ve never really made a plan that I followed through on. The second there’s a permutation (and there’s always a permutation) everything flies out the window.
