hello there folks welcome back to the keep productive youtube channel it's francesco
here and today we'll be diving into how to week plan in bento i wanted to give you a guided tour
of some of the ways you can take bento just that step further and using it in a sort of
more clinical fashion to plan maybe some more prioritized goals across the next couple of weeks
now obviously we're working on different ways that this can be optimized even further
inside of our methodology which we'll be releasing soon so are you looking to weak
plan inside of bento i want to give you a little bit of a tour of some of the most recommended ways
to do that and how to get started so i'm very excited and as you can imagine let's jump into
today's video so one of the ways that um you can use bento is obviously through our sort of daily
bento box where you create three tasks one large one medium and small one to work on in
a day but um there are ways to go a little bit step further and we'll sort of outline
these a lot further inside of the course that we're launching very soon yeah and naturally
um we can dig a little bit deeper but i wanted to show you how you could potentially go about um a
little bit of goals sort of weak planning inside of the app right now so if you haven't got the app
yet it's available for ios you can find the link in description and our android now has a wait list
so you can sign up to that below now bento is an app that we've created just for full clarity
and we've been working on it for just over a year now and we're super excited to be sharing it out
so i have bento here in front of me and what i've actually gone and done is created the setup that
uh you can create in this video now as you can imagine i just wanted to briefly show you how to
create a box so you simply press create new box and what's prompted to start is a workflow now a
workflow is simply the order you want to complete them in and this can be based on your energy
levels for example you start the day off and you want to accomplish the first thing that hits the
the to-do list then you can start with your large task and finish with your small one
vice versa with slow burn starts with small goes to large so in this case i'm going to press climb
that summit middle ground and as you can see a box is created now as you can see you can add a large
medium and small task and that's all that you can add inside of bento box we limit you to
three for a reason to focus on prioritization and naturally reduce task overwhelm so it complements
most of the to-do apps or other experiences that you're currently using it's a layer on top of that
it's a methodology and a framework that you can use across your day so let me take you to the
three boxes i've created for week planning so this is my today a good example of this
as you can see i've changed the emoji to the sun which is really nice and the good thing is if i
wanted to just basically reset this box i can hold down so i don't actually have to change the boxes
up on a routine basis i just have to change the tasks inside of them so as you can imagine uh one
thing i can do is enter each one and put a large medium and small task and i've already done that
i've got write report email campaign and yoga now obviously as part of this sort of week goal
planning you can keep this fairly simple so this is only three box setup you can do a seven box
setup which i'll show you a little later in this video so the secondary box i've created is a weak
one and now naturally i can add in three goals that i'd like to accomplish for the week these
are more like objectives and sometimes being able to see them next to your today area can be quite
efficient particularly because if you're focusing on those three things here and they're the things
you want to do for the day and then you swipe right and you see uh the the sort of weak goals
it's nice because you're very close to home on your goals and your objectives so you can see here
that i've added three reach sub six minute mile achieve m2 project and four day streak of yoga
so you can see that um obviously some of them correlate to some of the stuff that i'm doing
in today but naturally you could use them as guidance if you started with say month goals
you could work back all the way to your today and as you can imagine pretty useful now again i've
done this with the month one change emoji out to direct hit and you can see here that run 35 miles
get promotion obviously i might be fairly close to the promotion if i complete this m2 project
and then attend a yoga class because maybe i'm using those other sessions to build up to that
so you can see here it's quite a nice little sort of week plan because one of the things
that i think obviously we do this naturally with tasks but we also over commit to projects as well
um sorry over commit to sort of goal planning we go like oh i want to get this 10 things done
in a month and realistically sometimes it's not necessarily possible so having this sort of day
week month view is quite nice and it can really help you to just be able to see them side by side
now the other way that you could go about this is by using the monday to friday set up so for
example if you created a box you could call it monday and you could start adding the tasks in and
naturally create tuesday wednesday thursday friday saturday sunday um so you can create up to seven
boxes in bento so you can have a full week inside of your bento account um the good thing about this
is you can just hold down and like we said you could change the workflow based on how much
energy got or just simply reset the box as well so that's another alternative way to do it um i mean
if you're somebody that likes to plan say three days in advance because they don't want to advance
a little bit further than seven days then what you could do is monday to wednesday or
create a new box for each new day and then for example create a week and a month one
or if you're focusing on work then you could do the full five day work week and then a week and
a goals one for your month so naturally you can adapt it to how you want it's very new bente for
many people so the good thing is that people are exploring the possibilities of how they can use it
but primarily it's the task focus i just wanted to give you an expanded a way to use it if you're
already using it for focusing on your priorities so hopefully you enjoyed this video about how to
do weekly planning inside of benso i'm really excited and naturally um this application
um continues we continue to find different ways that people are using it and so if you do have
a moment and you are enjoying the app please do leave it an app store review as well um you
can share some of your feedback we'd honestly love to hear it and whether you're loving the
application so far anyway folks big big thank you and i'll see you guys in a future video cheerio
