- Hello everyone.
It's Amanda.
Welcome back to my channel.
As you can see, we are filming virtually today.
Cause I have a very special guest
today with me online.
We have the one
and only Karlie Kloss,
supermodel, business woman, extraordinary.
I feel like you do 10 million things.
So thank you so much
for being on my channel, welcome.
- Thank you, Amanda.
I'm so excited.
I do 10 million things
which is why I'm kind of unorganized all the time.
So I need you to teach me how to be organized.
(Amanda chuckles)
- Well, it's actually a perfect segue
because today Karlie has kind of recruited me
to teacher her my ways
of bullet journaling and productivity and organization.
I am sure she is super busy
has 10 million things on her schedule.
So I really wanted to come up
with a planning spread
that can really work for her.
And I'm going to teach her all of the things.
On her channel, we are going to be doing more
of a creative vision boarding thing.
So make sure you check out Karlie's channel after this
if you wanna see more journaling with both of us.
But first maybe you can talk a little bit
about what type of schedule you have.
I'm really curious about like your day
to day and then we can get right into it after.
- Well, today is one
of those days where I am just
eternally late to everything.
And it's really funny because I thought
in like quarantine life, you know,
I would be, like have no excuse
to be late to anything.
Because it's not like I'm in transit anywhere.
I'm just getting on one room to another
but somehow I manage to be late.
So I'm really in need of your organizational skills.
But my day to days
are somewhat similar, somewhat different.
And that's what I love about my job
is I wear a lot of hats.
So I am, you know, full-time as a model
and I have a lot of amazing companies
I get to work with.
So my life is all over the place
and in between before or after
I try and squeeze in a workout and you know,
trying to cook healthy food and, you know
try and be, I'm like a one woman band,
I think that's (Amanda chuckles) what we're--
- Yeah, even just hearing that,
I'm like, I don't even know how your brain
is like organizing all of that.
Do you use your phone currently
for like planning or do you have like a physical planner?
- So this is the thing, I love writing.
I love journaling and I just, it's this
for whatever reason I haven't been
in the habit of doing it
this past year.
And every time I do it,
it's so cathartic,
just it feels so good to write
out notes and even to-do lists
and then check them off.
And I just haven't done it.
And I've just kind of kept notes
on my phone and I'll be going
to bed at night and a million things
are running through my head
and I'm like, oh wait,
okay, I need to write that down.
(Amanda chuckles)
- I'm pretty similar in that
I think everyone thinks I'm like super organized
but the reason why I have to be is because things
are so chaotic, kind of like you,
like, we're always kind of doing a million things
and I'm also running behind
so I can, you know, always relate to you on that.
Have you heard of bullet journaling before?
- I've heard of bullet journaling because
of you and because of just like the internet
I feel like is obsessed with bullet journaling.
A lot of our coworkers that are girls
are obsessed with bullet journaling
and have actually inspired me to like
want to learn this practice.
- All right, so I actually sent Karlie like
a notebook for her to use.
So yes, I'm very excited.
- They both look good.
I'm very excited.
I feel like I'm gonna fly through this one.
So thank you for the backup one as well.
- Oh yes, I gave you color options.
So you're going for the blue then?
- Yes, I'm gonna go blue. - Yes.
- I mean, you can open that baby up actually.
We can like get right into it.
- Doing the honor, opening it up here, okay.
- It's like the best feeling
when you open a fresh new notebook.
- It's so beautiful.
I love the design.
Okay, cracking it open.
- Yeah, oh fresh, I love like when you hear
like the spine of a new notebook crack open
it's like one of those small happiness moments, all right.
- It also smells nice.
Is that weird to say?
I love the smell of like a fresh notebook.
(Both laugh)
- There's a specific layout
that I think really would work
for you 'cause, from what it sounds like
it sounds like you have a lot
of tasks that kind of get like pushed back to various days
and like get things moved around and all of that.
So we can get started.
I don't know if you have like pens
around you that we can, we can start off with?
Yes, perfect.
There's basically going to be like your weekly events
on one side and then your to-do list
on the other side.
What I do is
like every single spread is a new week.
So like I was saying, on this side
I usually have it for events.
So that's like appointments.
I'm sure you have many of them.
So we can kind of start writing that out.
A lot of people get very self-conscious
about their handwriting
but I like love a good cursive moment.
So you can play around with that
but I'm just going to write events.
- All right, I'm going to go with that.
(soft music playing)
- And then on this side is like the to-do list.
(soft music playing)
- I already love this.
- Yeah, depending on how much extra time you have
you can always make your, cursive like look fancier
by just thickening up the downward lines on the lettering.
You don't need to do that.
That's just like an optional
whenever I'm feeling like extra fancy.
- Your pen looks legit.
I need one of those.
(Amanda giggles)
Cute, okay.
- Cute, okay.
So I know you can see like
there's dots on the page.
Which kind of helps
you like separate things out.
You can use a ruler if you want.
I'm like a notorious non ruler user
'cause I'm super lazy.
So what we're going to do
is just section the events side
out into seven.
So I mean, you can kind of count up the numbers
maybe five,
yeah five dot spaces per thing.
So there will be seven spaces.
(soft music playing)
- So five I see, so five blocks?
- Yes.
(soft music playing)
I'm loving the intense focus.
- I take this very seriously.
Also, I feel like I'm not normally good at drawing
like a straight line,
but somehow these dots make it easier.
- (laughing) perfect.
So each of these is kind of like a day.
So on the side,
I'm going to write like
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
and then all the way through.
So in your case, I guess, you know,
there's only gonna be five days
in your week.
That'll force you to take a weekend.
(soft music playing)
Oh, Oh my gosh, it looks so good.
So yes, this side is going
to be like any appointments
and then this side is going
to be like your actual to-do list tasks.
So I usually write out like
just the first letter of each day.
So like S, M, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
- So Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday?
- Yes, one letter in each kind of doc reads.
(beeping)
My building.
- [Man] Can I have your attention please?
Can I have your attention?
This is Alarms fire.
We will now be conducting a test
of the fire alarm system.
- No way.
- [Man] Please disregard all codes and alarms for this.
(both chuckling)
(soft music playing)
- This is where you'll put your to-do list.
So what's a task that, you know
I'm sure you like work out every single day.
(chuckles)
So maybe,
- That doesn't always happen.
- Let's say, I don't know.
You want to work out like three times a week.
So like Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
So I'll put a dot
on every single day underneath that column
so that the lines kind of help you line that up.
And then on that,
then you can write work out
on the other side,
on each day like when you finish
your workout on Monday.
You're able to like, you know cross it off
or on like Wednesday, let's say it, you know
it doesn't end up happening.
And like you said, you know,
things get moved back a lot.
You can kind of like put an arrow
and then move it to Thursday,
film a collab video.
So that can be on Wednesday.
If you're like in progress of doing that
you can color in the circle halfway.
Let's say it gets moved back all the way to Sunday.
You can move that all the way to Sunday.
You'll essentially only be looking
at each daily column as you have like a whole list.
Cause I feel like sometimes people get
in the habit of doing like new to-do lists every single day.
But a lot of them are like repetitive tasks, right?
- It's me, this is literally,
- It's you, (chuckles)
- Struggle is so real.
You're like speaking all of my struggles.
(laughing)
- Yeah, so it's kind of like a good way
to visually organize all of those repetitive tasks.
It's nice because you don't need to worry
about like tasks staying in individual days
it can kind of be really free-flowing.
I hope I'm explaining it.
I'm like the worst at explaining.
- You're doing so good.
And I'm just so impressed by like the organization
of this it's actually making me think
it's similar in some ways
to kind of like coding, planning out, mapping out
kind of the functions of what you want to build
and kind of part of the preparation process
to building a website or an app
is kind of, it's just like
this drawing out, mapping out.
So this is very comparable.
I'm into this.
- I love it.
I love it.
So that's like the to-do list.
And then on this side,
when I do events, that'll be like appointments.
And that way they're still,
it's not like your events kind of get mixed
in with your to-do list.
It's very easy to like visually see what's going on.
I think I sent you a bunch of tapes.
Like if you're feeling funky
and you know, want to spice things up.
- Can I just say and for everybody who's watching right now
has seen these gorgeous tapes.
Where can we buy these tapes
for those who don't know?
- They are available on my website.
And they're really cute.
They're meant to be like mix and match.
- I love it.
(Amanda chuckling)
I really, thank you for these tapes.
I will be taping every thing in sight now.
(chuckling)
- Perfect, I kind of like using
them scattered throughout 'cause I feel like sometimes
when you look at your to-do list,
you're like, oh my gosh
you're like dreading doing it.
And like checking things off.
- I feel like I have running lists exactly to your point.
Like I write notes on my phone
and it's very repetitive.
It's pretty much the same things every week
that I'm just reminding myself to do.
And this is such a more fun, pretty way to.
- You know, it makes you like excited
to look at your to-do lists.
And I love doing like circles
for my to-do list tasks.
When you fill in that circle
and complete a task,
it's like the best feeling.
A lot of times I'll like doodle things.
Are you like,
do you like to draw and like doodle
or maybe a little bit?
- I love to doodle.
I'm not nearly as talented as you.
My doodles are just illegible, but,
(laughing)
- So you can like add stars and stuff.
This is the fun, extra stuff.
So you can just decorate depending on,
you know how you feel.
And it's just, you know, again,
it makes it look more cute
and makes you excited to actually look at your to-do list.
I just kinda like doodle around it.
And it's pretty fun.
- I'll tell you, the queen of doodling is my mom.
She's an artist.
And I always remember, you know,
back in the day growing up,
before like cell phones.
Maybe I'm, I think I'm probably older than you.
So, you know, once upon a time
a phone call had to be like attached
to a wire next to like a cord
that plugged into the wall.
And I remember my mom would always sit
at like our house phone
and just be writing notes of things
you know, she needed to do or whatever,
and also doodle.
So like I would see these notepads lying
around the house that just had
like the most beautiful doodles,
whether it was like flowers
or like some crazy ornate designs next
to her like grocery list.
- I love that.
- So she will be, I'm sure
very excited about this video.
(laughing)
- So maybe you take after her,
in that in like the creative aspects I guess.
- I would like to think so
but my art skills are not up to par.
- That's pretty much it.
And essentially like the, to-do list
like as you're marking off
your things that you want to do each day
like this whole thing will get filled out.
And the nice thing about this is that let's say
you fill up this entire page of to-do list tasks
and you're like, Oh, I still have more things to do.
You can literally just flip over
to the next page and just set that same
like column up, that same column kind of thing.
So it's really flexible.
- Okay, smart.
Okay, so like Wednesday
like travel to New York,
which honestly nobody's,
- Yes.
- Nobody's traveling anywhere any time soon
but just hypothetical here,
travel to New York, add Tuesday
like doctor's appointment.
- Totally.
- Monday have friend over
like have friends over for dinner.
- Exactly, and you can put
like the time and everything.
When I was traveling,
obviously nobody's traveling anymore,
but it was nice.
Like I would put like my flight information
or like the exact time and when I,
when I needed to leave
for the airport and stuff on that side.
So yeah, that is moreso like
maybe the classic schedule aspect.
And this is just like the to-do list side,
but it is nice to interact because,
you know seeing it both together,
you're able to be like,
today on Friday, I'm filming with Karlie.
And then what specific to-do list task
do I need to do,
for that specific day is like on that side.
- Like the bigger rocks you put into place first
and then the smaller rocks get filled in.
So like the events, the bigger kind of
things on the calendar in place,
and then sprinkle in the to-do list tasks.
- You got it.
You know how sometimes there's those small tasks
that you're like, it seems dumb to write down.
So you're like, oh, I'll just remember to do it.
They're almost like you,
you don't feel like writing them down.
In this, I'm like, I encourage you
to write down even like the dumbest tasks,
you know, doing your laundry,
all of those things.
Cause I think just making sure
you will empty out your brain on here.
- And then even just like, I mean, call sisters.
- Exactly, yes.
- Things that like, I, you know,
the end of the day I'm like, oh shoot,
I should have called my sister.
Like being able to just have it.
I love this.
Being able to be more kind of organized
and be like, okay, this saved me.
- Totally.
When you fill out this list,
it looks kind of crazy.
Cause there's like circles all over the place,
but it's kind of beautiful
in a way you're like,
this is like an organized chaos.
- Like, do you like music?
Do you read notes or read music at all?
'Cause I feel like this is very much--
- Yes.
- Like kind of, I learned piano
when I was a kid, I'm terrible at it now.
- Same, yeah.
(chuckling)
- I remember kind of reading the scale like.
- It is, it's like, it's creative
but almost like mathematical in a way.
So the same with music, for sure.
- Which is where the coding
and kind of parallel comes in too.
Okay, I'll tell you a little bit
about Kode With Klossy very quickly.
- Yes.
- Kode With Klossy is my non-profit
that we teach girls how to code.
And we have this amazing community
of young women around the country.
And now this past summer,
we have scholars who are part
of Kode With Klossy from around the world.
Really amazing to see just kind of the creative applications
of code that these young women can learn
how to code and want to build something
that is, you know directly kind of interesting in their life
or pairing it with something
that they're passionate about.
We now have over 5,000 young women
who have been through our program
and are in our community
and many of them love to bullet journal.
So they'll be very excited to see this collab.
- I feel like that's very like a male dominated field.
So I love that it's like female focus.
I love that so much.
I don't know anything about code.
I feel like I might need to join a little workshop.
- We would love to have you in our classroom anytime.
- Perfect.
Wait, I need to see the final thing I have.
I feel like I've been seeing it, yes.
- I need to fill in more,
but this is the start.
- I love it.
I love it.
You were downplaying your cursive.
I think your writing looks good.
- Oh, hardly.
I'm like, I feel like the last generation
that like learned cursive in school
and can write cursive.
So I love cursive for that reason.
I love it.
I'm just thinking to myself, okay.
I want to bake every Friday.
Call my sisters.
(Amanda laughing)
I mean, even just small things
like take, like post to Instagram
and just like,
- Yes.
- Being organized, I love this.
Okay, this is going to be my weekend task.
I'm very excited about this.
- Thank you so much for being on my channel.
I hope this was helpful.
And guys, if you want to check
out more stuff that me and Karlie are doing
we're going to do a video over on her channel
and we're doing like a little bit of vision boarding.
So I think that'll be really fun.
Cause I'm excited to see kind of how currently
like goal plans and all of that.
So I think that'll be a fun one.
- Thank you so much, Amanda.
And yes, absolutely.
Everybody come head over to my channel
so you can learn some more from the amazing Amanda.
And we're going to show you our vision.
- Bye, everyone. - Thank you.
