Hello 🌼

Do you have some tips about being productive everyday ? (even your off days are so productive to me 😛)

Do you have some non-negotiables/ routines that you do everyday no matter what?

Your blog is so inspirational to me 💫

hi lovely ☺️ thank you for this sweet ask 🥺

the first thing i want to acknowledge is that i still don't have the most healthy relationship with productivity, which is half the reason i'm able to be productive (but often hella miserable) during my off days.

so my biggest tip is to try your best to be productive for yourself first, not the you that you see through the lens of others (i.e. don't confuse wanting to be someone who is liked/loved with wanting to like/love yourself). that way, you stay motivated and consistent for the long haul. it's still something i'm working on myself.

one thing i have gotten good at is giving myself easy wins to motivate me to do more during my off days.

meditate — under five minutes, low-effort, if you can't stand the silence or if it's anything but silent, put on some lo-fi and just sit still, bonus points if you close your eyes or stare out a window or better yet, go outside🚶‍♀️

watch a video — usually in one of my target languages, but if you're not a language learner like me, just watch an video even tangentially related to your interests 👀

journal — sometimes i just write the most banal sentences like "i'm tired and in pain again." if i'm feeling ambitious, i do it in one of my target languages. alternatively, doodle a flower or hearts around your entry for the day. and by "entry," i literally mean the date and day of the week, you don't have to write anything else if you're not feeling it 🤷‍♀️

once i'm riding the high on my easy wins, my non-negotiables are, in order of priority:

hygiene — personal/my home, often this also functions as an easy win because it's just routine for me atp, but i often use it to end my day on a high note rather than as motivation for the rest because i'm always really exhausted after cleaning 😛

meals — in theory, this should rank above hygiene because i think i'll pass away from hunger before being overrun by dust, but often this actually ranks below everything else 💀

exercise — following a guided video makes exercise a super no-brainer task because all you do is follow the video. just make sure you go at your own pace (i.e. pause if you need a break, do fewer reps as long as they remain controlled and safe) and try a bunch of different videos to find ones that work for you OR workout with a supportive(!!) friend

language lessons — or insert whatever thing you need to learn that takes priority for you (bonus points if it's outside of a curriculum)

work — often this is actually the top priority non-negotiable ⚰️ i try to remember that we work to live,,, and then i forget 😅

school — same issue as work 🙃

aaaaand then that's basically my entire day 😂 i try various challenges/techniques from time to time (x days of productivity, pomodoro, time-blocking, etc.), but those are more short-term boosters than long-term solutions, but one technique that has worked consistently for me so far is picturing an ideal, maybe a bit romanticized version of myself/my life and trying to live up to that vision of my personal best. the only only thing i would caution against if you try this is trying to apply other people's ideals on yourself/your life without thinking critically enough about it.

hope this helps! and remember, what you accomplish is a far cry from all that you are 💕

shuffle your favorite playlist and post the first five songs that come up. then copy/paste this ask to your favorite mutuals <3

@booksbluegurl hereee

hi hi!! i don't know how long this has been sitting in my asks, but thank you for asking!! (and thank you @megumi-fm and @winryrockbellwannabe for tagging me as well 💕)

i don't make playlists anymore because YouTube just knows my tastes from what i've searched for and listened to lately, then makes them for me 😅 for some reason, they always start with 먼지 like they know i imagine my life as some kind of coming of age anime series and this is my opening theme song 😂

100 Days of Productivity [Day: 79] || 100 Jours de Productivité [Jour: 79]

I've finally fallen back into a daily routine that I can be happy with. There's been enough time before & after work to get everything done that I've wanted to while also having enough time for me. It feels good to be back on track with my reading goal for the year & to be digging into book recommendations that are more to my liking.

early mornings are a lot more rewarding when you're able to spend them doing what you want to. & life feels like it's worth living when you can give yourself the freedom you deserve.

currently listening // Expression by my!lane, Jetha

J'ai enfin retrouvé une routine quotidienne qui me convient. J'ai eu assez de temps avant et après le travail pour faire tout ce que je voulais faire, tout en ayant assez de temps pour moi. Cela fait du bien de retrouver mon objectif de lecture pour l'année et de me plonger dans des recommandations de livres qui me plaisent davantage.

Les petits matins sont beaucoup plus gratifiants lorsqu'on peut les consacrer à ce que l'on veut. Et la vie vaut la peine d'être vécue lorsqu'on peut se donner la liberté que l'on mérite.

chanson // Expression par my!lane, Jetha
