Everyone's talking about their unhinged life hacks. Here's mine. This is my seasonal garden planner, AKA my personal garden assistant. When I was managing dozens of client gardens, I needed some way to keep it all organized. So I broke each month down into a category. Planting, tending, and harvesting. And I created this monthly task list for each category. This helped me stay on track in all those gardens, and now it helps me with the massive amount of decisions I have to make every day on what actually needs to get done in my own garden. We have things like trellis, the cucumbers, prune the squash, hill the beans. Every task has a page that reminds me with the important step. Then there's this monthly goal sheet where I move all the tasks into the 10 plant harvest category for the whole month so I can see what's most important. I give everything on the task list a date so I know when I need to do what. Pss. By popular demand, I made this into a planner that you can get your hands on too. Then I just check every task off when I get them done. There's nothing like that feeling. The planner only applies to the season I'm in, so I know I'm doing all the right things at the right time. Then when that season's over, I just move on to the next planner. Way less decision fatigue plan.
