Seeing My Time® Adult Academic Year Planner System

The design is genius. I like the step-by-step instructions. I like having the day's agenda visible throughout the day.

"I've always found it difficult to commit to a planner, and would end up using multiple systems that didn't really serve me. I realize now that I was missing key information about how to get the most out of my planning sessions. Marydee's mini-course gave me the tools I needed to actually use this planner successfully, and to plan for the life I want. I have just completed my first full year EVER of using only one system, and I have already ordered my 2019 planner - I couldn't live without it!

Thank you so much for these helpful videos, and for creating this planner! Like others have said, I think this system may finally work with my neurodiverse/autistic brain. I'm already feeling better and getting more done after just a few days.

I really enjoyed this course. I've tried a lot of planners, but having the course to explain how to use it, and provide both exercises and concrete examples, makes a huge difference. For the first time, planning is actually FUN.

I wasn't sure what to expect with the EFS planners, but I was eager enough to try something new to help my son with ADD plan time and manage assignments. I bought the adult version for myself as I also am struggling to prioritize and get clear on how I can get important tasks done.First of all, the videos were helpful. My son has internalized the key ideas. As for me, I gained a lot of tips that have made a difference in my work. I like using the daily sheets and putting to-do items near available time but not exactly "assigning" them to that time. In the past, I used a similar weekly schedule, but shame and a sense of failure would build up because I always underestimated how long it would take to complete tasks and therefore was inevitably "behind." I would strongly recommend the EFS system to folks looking to get a handle on their productivity and also on their feelings about how they work. I now feel much more neutral and matter-of-fact about planning, whether I zoom through tasks or not.

The mini-course on using the See My Time planner was very helpful. It helped me to understand that there was more than meets the eye here. If I had not watched it, I might have just started using the pages and planner without really getting the full benefit or put off starting to use the planner. If I had done either of those things, I would have missed out! These videos had important tips and served as a great guide to initiating use of the planning pages. I actually began my use of the planner in between videos. Very good for taking action. Excellent anti-procrastination support!

Marydee Sklar has created a high-quality resource that simplifies the process of planning by ‘seeing’ your time. I never quite got why I was always unrealistic with what could be achieved in a time and now I see this crystal clear. For the first time ever, I am on top of my schedule - my head and shoulders are lighter. I now get out of bed in the morning without playing a million scenarios of the day, pulling the covers over my head and then berating myself for wasting time. I am so excited that in my fifth decade of life, I can see possibilities of achieving what I am capable of doing. Thank you.

"At almost 64, with ADHD, I've tried a few (million) planners. None worked until now. I am amazed! I think it works because it's multi-sensory. Using traditional pen and pencil reinforces the brain's ability to access and retain information. At first I thought I was going backwards technologically, but electronic devices tax my brain and overload my ability to process data from line to line. Because of my short term memory deficits, I lose my place when tasks require multiple steps. Pen and paper may be "old school", but it's much less anxiety-producing and doesn't break down. I recommend this for all tactile learners or non techno geeks. It just feels good."

Thanks for creating a planner and program for what my brain needs! I really appreciated how the mini-course helped show me how to use it and customize it. This planner feels like a true fit in week 1 of use and I’m excited for the little by little changes that will add up!

I am finding great benefit in Marydee's Planner. It has been such a help to see open spaces in my calendar. I highly recommend the planner, and the mini-course is a terrific benefit. It really explains how the planner works. Thank you!

Thank you so much for creating the Seeing My Time planner. I absolutely love it. I buy planners every year, but this is by far the most useful one that I have ever used. I find it to be an essential tool in accomplishing my goals--both small and large--and at the same time, better enjoying my down time knowing that everything I need to get done has been captured. Thanks for creating such a thoughtfully designed product.

I have been using Marydee's Seeing My Time system for about 10 years since I met her at a dyslexia conference way back when. I love how lightweight this planner is! I will be able to carry it around with me so much easier. Marydee has really honed in on the essentials.
