I decided to wake up at 5 00 a.m every day for a week
and ended up having one of the happiest and most productive weeks
lately i've been waking up anywhere from like 6:30am to 8:00am so it was a shock
to the system to wake up while it was still dark outside but the birds chirping definitely helped
there'll be scattered thunderstorms with a forecasted high of 68 and a low of 45
I'm pretty boring and i eat pretty much the same breakfast every single day so I had to
chop up some onions and bell peppers to use over the next four days and then once I got to my desk
the first thing I did was plan out my week and month. This is something I normally do on Sunday's
but alas I got my first dose of the vaccine on Saturday so over the weekend I did nothing but nap
at eight I had my Lingoda Spanish class so as you might know I'm doing a language learning
sprint for the next three months to just take a bunch of classes before I go to Spain in
the fall for college. I won a contest for this free kinesiology session and had no idea what
to expect but i actually really liked it and it kind of reminded me of therapy but like better
tuesday was easier to wake up but that was because I slept
really poorly and just kept waking up for absolutely no reason so that is a
yo soy de los estados unidos de wisconsin
tuesday's class was about "la interculturidad en la oficina"
so thank you to Lingoda for sponsoring today's video! I have loved their classes so far
all of their teachers are native speakers and they take you through different exercises
like learning vocabulary, debating different topics,
preparing quick presentations which was actually really hard but a good challenge
later in the day I reviewed the previous day's spanish lesson because you can access
the pdf learning materials and the chat history from all of your previous lessons
and then I booked all of my classes for the upcoming week
summer is coming up so if you're finishing up with your classes it's the perfect time
to start studying something because you're interested in it not because you have to learn it
so you can do a one week free trial and try three lingota classes
and then make sure to use the voucher code get 30 so that you can get a 30% discount
on your payment for the first month of classes during the kinesiology session she asked me to
choose one nice thing that I could do for myself every day for the next 21 days so I decided
every day after lunch or any meal i'm going to go outside and drink a cup of tea,
be barefoot in the grass and just do nothing so I've only been waking up at 5am for two
days but I do have some observations. so observation number one is that
I actually don't feel that tired! there are two possible explanations for this
one is that i got my vaccine on saturday, my first dose,
and so on sunday I was super tired I spent the entire day
either napping or just not doing anything and so I think that charged up my batteries
the second explanation is that I do remember from high school
the first one or two nights of being sleep deprived the adrenaline from the
sleep deprivation actually made you more energized and it kind of folds you into
thinking that maybe you actually didn't need as much sleep as everyone else in the world
another thing to point out is I slept very poorly last night, no idea why.
i just kept waking up over and over like 1am 3am 4am until finally it was 5am!
I have noticed that this sometimes happens to me
when I don't know i guess my brain and my body know that I'm gonna have some weird wake-up time
it's like my body wants to wake me up in anticipation for that but it can't
quite get the time right so it just keeps trying but keeps getting the time wrong
after I got home I don't really remember what I was doing,
maybe answering emails or planning something, but some type of computer work.
overall for tuesday I think my energy and productivity levels
were fantastic so I'm gonna rate it a smiley face
wednesday started out with you guessed it the same exact breakfast so I'm not
even gonna bother showing it to you. I didn't have much on the calendar for the day so it was
just work work work for the whole morning. no meetings, classes or anything to interrupt me
after lunch I went to walmart to pick up a few more things in addition to
a book for a mother's day-ish airplane
care package type thing because my mom was leaving for lithuania for an entire month
I also got for myself a coconut setting spray from elf which smelled really really nice oh so I got
my mum a spotify gift card because I know she uses youtube to listen to music and obviously
she can't use that on a plane and it might be hard um to always be connected to internet in Lithuania
and then I got these two face masks which I picked solely because they are really cool colors
mints and lip balm because i feel like those
are those are two things that help with really long flights
I took my daily outdoor break before I went and recorded a podcast and had a meeting
and then I went and ran some errands with my mom at the mall which is a eerily quiet place
during covid restrictions I will tell you that but it was fun to spend time with her
and then when we got home she had a bunch of bags of carrots and apples and oranges that she
had been meaning to make juice out of so since she was leaving the next day and we had to use them up
we just had like this huge juicing party and made like two pitchers of juice and it was delicious
ayo room tour
my mom and i went to our dance exercise class, then i had dinner
and then I apparently just looked absolutely exhausted
um it was a really good day just a little draining so overall I'm gonna rate it this emoji
one of my goals for this month is to go back through all the books that I've read this
year and summarize any thatIi skip taking notes on which is most of them but I only
take notes on the non-fiction ones and not even all of the non-fiction ones so I feel
like this should be a feasible goal kind of mid-morning we said goodbye to my mom my dad
drove her to the airport in chicago so me and my brother were home alone for a little bit
I'm not being caught in 4k it's just 1080 don't worry
i'm gonna go outside for a few minutes
oh, is school done?
no
okay
yeah thursday the tiredness definitely hit at like 2 p.m I don't know if i was mentally
tired just from doing a lot of creative and organizing kind of work for the past three days
or if it was the 5 a.m wake ups but I was just like
i gotta push through the spanish class and then i can take a break
spanish classes are going great though today was a little bit harder and I feel
like that was because I was tired it was like harder to come up with a vocab that I needed
I would misread questions and then answer them wrong... so embarrassing
no the teachers are always really understanding and there was just
like two other students and they made mistakes too so it's fine
I took a weird sort of half nap on the couch had a snack
and then i could get a little bit more work done before I finally went to bed
a big thing this week was that I finally started working with my
assistant and so she and i were texting a lot to organize everything,
answer her questions, make sure that I teach her everything and that was super duper fun
we had our first weekly meeting on friday and we answered my signature questions:
what went well and what didn't go well? and we planned out future videos
and I am just so freaking excited to be working with someone else on the bliss bean
i tried making muffins from the carrot juice pulp that we had left over but it literally
turned out so bad I'm not going to show it to you you don't want to see what they look like
in the evening I didn't really feel like going to kickboxing but I went
I also severely under dress for the weather but it was fun it was energizing
I definitely stayed up too late a couple of times this week but
sometimes you just want to get your emails answered before you go to bed
on saturday I replenished my dwindling supply of onion and bell pepper, I had yet another spanish
class got some planning and writing stuff done in the morning, went on a nice little outdoor
walk with a friend and then I worked on editing this very video that you are watching right now
and ladies and gentlemen we have made it to sunday! I did sleep in
a tiny bit if you can even call that sleeping in
somehow mustered up enough energy to film an entire video,
did my sunday routine went downtown with my family for a little walk and finished up the week
I think I'm gonna keep this going maybe not 5am
but we can compromise at like 5:30/ 5:45 am, I think sounds good
I hope you found this video enjoyable though, thank you so much for watching
please give it a like and subscribe to my channel and I will see you next week
