after feeling unmotivated and also after
procrastinating quite a lot
i came up with a simple routine that is
helping me to get things done
and to be productive
now these days can be chaotic and
uncertain so after trying out several
ways to plan my day
and just basically over complicating
myself too much
i have created a simple daily routine
that helps me get things done
and also allows me to enjoy my life
now on this video i'm going to tell you
what i'm doing different and why it is
working for me
so stay with me till the end because it
kind of needs a little bit of an
explanation and it might also work for
you my friend
[Music]
now before i was creating really hard to
follow daily plans with lots of
different tasks and also fixed time
tables which in the end i was not really
following
and i must say i was disappointing
myself day after day
and that is why i basically decided to
simplify things
i first listed the main tasks that i
need to do every day and those tasks
are studying working out working on my
business and house chores
and i also included one very important
one that i have neglected for a long
time
which is time for myself or just me time
so on this new method once i had the
main tasks in mind
i decided to become flexible
following fixed time tables doesn't
really suit me right now since i don't
seem to be sticking to rigid or strict
things
so instead i opted for a much more
flexible and more
intuitive approach
and contrary to what i thought and this
is the interesting part
this is helping me to get more things
done than my previous system did
so here is an example of why this works
before i would set my alarm to a
specific time that was usually
around 8 and i will wake up already
feeling grumpy since i haven't been
having the most consistent sleeping
schedule
and i would then force myself out of bed
even though i would have wanted to chill
in the comfy blankets just for a little
bit longer
and after that i would start exercising
even though i might have wanted
to start my day by doing another of my
tasks
so the day would just go by me feeling
just kind of forced to do
things i would just be following the
schedule which actually made me
unproductive since i was not really
motivated to do much
it also made me feel quite unhappy not
to mention that i would take just
ages to complete one task
the one day i forgot to put on my alarm
and i woke up later
so that was around 11am and at first i
was worried i wouldn't get much done out
of the day but i
still decided to be gentle with myself
and i
also didn't stress much about it and i
stayed in bed until roughly lunchtime
so after lunch i started studying and i
actually got a massive amount of work
done
and i was actually enjoying it for real
and that was because i kind of got into
the flow and then i also made a lot of
progress on the videos that i was
editing so
it was overall an amazing day just
because i was using my internal
motivation to do things
and also i was listening to my body
so the next day i intentionally decided
to stay in bed a little bit after my
alarm went off
well actually not a little bit because i
stayed from 8 until 10
because i just felt like it
and when i woke up i asked myself what i
wanted to do next
and the most appealing option for me out
of the tasks that i intended to complete
on that day was exercising
and my friends i got so much joy out of
that workout
just because i was not forcing myself to
do it
i was somehow choosing to do it
[Music]
so since then i have been trying to
listen to myself
i had the misconception that i was
naturally lazy and i would never
feel like studying or feel like
exercising if i was not really
forced to but since i have been flexible
and gentle with myself and also have
been allowing some chill and relaxing
times
i actually want to get things done and
it does not feel like such a hustle
so nowadays i wake up and i try to win
the day
meaning that i really try to make the
most out of it
so i rest when i need to and i also take
a break here and there if i'm not
feeling very motivated
and i'm also finding my daily tasks a
lot more appealing than before
some days i begin my exercising and then
getting ready
while others i start by studying and
getting most of the work done in the
morning
and there are days in which i just chill
a little bit in bed and i get most of
the work done
in the afternoon so by choosing which
task i want to do the most
i have found a lot more energy and also
allow more enthusiasm to get things done
and of course i still have to put a lot
of my willingness but overall i know
that completing the things that i need
to do makes me feel great
which helps me to get more motivated
and also since i have divided my day
into kind of
major chunks i can just move them around
but still do everything that i need to
do
and that kind of gives me a little bit
more excitement to the ordinary things
without making my routines totally
boring or repetitive
now once again i give myself rest
moments or even rest days whenever i
feel i need them
and this kind of seemed like a waste of
time before
but now it is an investment in my
productivity since i feel better and i
work better consequently
[Applause]
[Music]
and also i am careful of making simple
lists and not over complicating them too
much
because i tend to be a to zoolist packer
and i'm always making really really big
to-do lists so now i just have the big
main tasks and then i also have small
little habits that i do not write down
and i just go making these habits
throughout the day and they are totally
powerful
so i will be sharing them in another
video so that this one does not get too
long
but just leave a comment if you're
interested in that
now for my to-do lists i have been
loving these printables that you can get
for free in the link in the description
box

it would just help me a lot and it would
mean a lot to me so i will also have the
link down below for that
or you can click in the card in the
right top corner
so every day kind of feels different and
i am being a lot more productive than
before
and i'm also a lot more gentle and nice
to myself so overall i have been feeling
better
and this is a simple way in which i am
fighting anxiety and motivation and
sadness
so instead of being super harsh or
strict with myself i am trying to be
more flexible
and also i'm trying to become my friend
instead of being my enemy
it sounds silly but it is helping me a
lot so i thought that it could help some
of you out as well
