In this world of social media, YouTube, productivity gurus and artistic bullet journals, it can be easy to lose yourself in the world of planners, planning and productivity. How do you know what planner, digital or analogue, is right for you? Have you spent time going from Instagram account to Instagram account, looking for that special sauce that will help you get your sh*t together with no real luck? Is planner peace a myth? Well, maybe. I prefer the term "planner contentment," but "planner peace" is the thing I always see people searching for. In this class I'll be going over how to find the planner system that works for YOU. Not me, not that person you listen to on their weekly podcast, not the bullet journaller who gets thousands of likes on their artistic spreads, YOU. Planning your life out can be as simple as a to-do list each day, or as complicated as multiple Google calendars, three different paper planners and two bullet journals (or more)! If you look on Instagram or YouTube, you’ll likely see as many different planning systems as you do people posting them. Each of us has a different life, with different needs, different wants, different forces pulling and pushing us into each day. So why is it that we continually look to other peoples’ planning systems to help us solve the hectic schedules and plans that make up our individual lives? Having a solid understanding of both the different parts of your busy life and the best ways for YOU to map those out is the key to finding what some people call “planner peace.” In this course we will Define what “planner peace” actually is Look at the different styles, formats and types of planners to make you aware of what is available Dig deep into our day to day lives to discover what, in fact, we need to be planning for Organize those different aspects of our lives into the planning system that will work for YOU By the end of this course, you should have a road map to a system that is tailored specifically for you, built around the things you prioritize and organized in a way that works the way you do. This course is for anyone who feels like they can never get their lives together, whether or not you are a beginner in the realm of planning and productivity. Whether you are constantly buried under Laundry Mountain or you can never remember what time your doctor’s appointment is, this course is for you. This course is not for people looking to hack their time or become the next time management podcast sensation. Materials for this class: Index cards or post it notes Pen Markers or highlighters The worksheets in the Projects/Resources Section My goal is for you to be able to recognize what YOU need to figure your life out, before you spend all the money on all the things only to be disappointed and MORE confused. So if you are ready to take a look at your life and figure out how to plan that sh*t out, grab a cup of coffee and let's get started!

ABOUT THE COURSE: We live in a world that currently faces multiple challenges of enormous magnitude, due to the effects of urbanization. With the rate, scale and shifting geographies of urbanization in the global South, it is important to map both challenges associated with and opportunities offered by cities. Both the challenges and opportunities are of immediate and direct relevance, with much of our urban resources and biodiversity disappearing, increasing poverty and social inequities, damaging pollution levels and landscape transformations. Urban sociology is one of the most prominent branches within the larger domains of sociology which can capture these complexities and help unravel cities as engines of economic development and social optimism. Within this context, this course would offer a mix of theories, concepts and practical cases to students, on how new approaches to think about sustainable urbanization can be framed using epistemological framings.INTENDED AUDIENCE: STUDENTS, CIVIL SERVICE ASPIRANTS, GATE ASPIRANTS, ACADEMICIANS, INDUSTRY PROFESSIONAL, WORKING PROFESSIONALS-NGOSINDUSTRY SUPPORT: EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTES AND UNIVERSITIES
