- Oh, my God.
This is gonna be a lot harder than I thought it would be.
- I'm so cold. I'm (beep) cold.
I am (beep) cold.
- Woo!
(upbeat music)
- Hey, I'm Vivian.
- Hi, I'm Carolina, and today,
we're gonna be changing our routines
to see if we are more productive.
We are trying routines from highly successful people
like Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama.
- Elon Musk, Arianna Huffington.
We're gonna try all these habits,
and hopefully learn something
that we can take to our own lives.
When you work at home or you're a freelancer
or you don't have like a set schedule
or structure like I do,
it can be hard to either stop working
and actually take breaks or to be productive.
- My unproductive habits is sometimes I get distracted,
and I go on TikTok.
- Our first task is to go to bed
without an alarm to wake us up,
and to get eight hours of sleep.
I'm gonna struggle with that one.
I just don't get enough sleep, ever.
- So this is something that Arianna Huffington does.
I believe she actually wrote a book about it,
called "The Sleep Revolution,"
how we shouldn't be depriving ourselves of sleep,
which to me, I find very important
because anyone who knows me knows if I don't sleep,
I am probably the cranky (beep) on the planet.
Oprah Winfrey has also spoken up about this,
and she's also said
that she doesn't really use alarm clocks.
To me, it's kinda scary because I really need alarm clocks
to fall asleep or else I don't wake up.
I just sleep all the time.
So we'll see you guys tomorrow morning.
- Time to go to sleep.
Getting up without my alarm is definitely like more calming
but I wanted to wake up (chuckles) earlier than this.
I didn't wanna sleep in as much as I did.
- My problem that I had sleeping last night was,
I was so anxious about not having an alarm
that would wake up just so,
I look at my phone, be like, "Is it good?"
"Are we alive? Can I go back to sleep?"
So I feel very tired 'cause I just kept waking up.
- Without an alarm,
I didn't hit eight hours, six hours and 13 minutes of sleep.
I'm actually surprised
because my body generally wakes up
without an alarm around the same time.
I think my body's just used to it.
So it was cool that it let me "sleep in."
I just wish I'd got enough sleep to begin with. (chuckles)
- Okay. So we've got to try
some aquamarine type stuff right now.
- In the morning, Jack, who's one of the co-founders
of Twitter, he drinks this like salt juice concoction.
It doesn't sound appealing to me,
but he's also a multi-millionaire.
So, what do I know?
People try to add salt to their water
because we need more electrolytes
because we are not absorbing our water
as much as we should be.
- Bottoms up.
Honestly, I think it's 'cause I squeeze so much lemon juice
in there that I don't really taste the salt water.
So, absorb up salt.
- It just... (retches)
It doesn't taste good.
I think this just takes a lot of commitment
to make this like a daily habit, but it's working for Jack.
Maybe you can work for Viv.
- So this next task is done by Mr. Barack Obama.
So he was at, back in 2012, that he would only ever wear
a matching blue suit or a matching gray suit
because he has already so many decisions he has to make
that the last thing he wants to take hours on deciding on
is what to wear.
I never think about my clothes.
I always just pull from the bottom of my section.
So I'm wearing t-shirt, I go to my t-shirt area,
grab the last one.
I go to my jeans, I grab the last one, and that's the...
I can't even think about it.
So today, I won't have to wear a formal suit
but I will be wearing all blue.
So I have my blue sweatpants and then I have a blue top.
- Even if I'm just looking at tops
my plain black tops are like steal a moment. (laughs)
So I think this is my version of a blue professional suit.
This is the thing that's making me feel like, you know,
a bit of my style is infused and this is actually like a fit
and not just like clothes.
Now we're here.
And I'm bored, bored to this whole look.
- Okay, so the next part of this day,
this is something done by Bill Gates and Elon Musk
where they time out their day in 5-minute increments,
which stresses me out.
It's said to help them
because it helps visualize their tasks.
I kinda already do that, like I make a to-do list,
but I've never cut stuff down.
- Even just writing the 5-minute increments
is taking a lot of time. (chuckles)
All it's showing me so far
is that I spend a lot of time working out,
and I'm spending a lot of time in the car. (chuckles)
I'm already someone who overthinks and over plans.
So this kinda feels like a little bit too much for me.
- Okay. So I made my slight to-do list.
I have to start on one of them
'cause it's nine o'clock already.
So I'm gonna start, and then I will kind of finish this list
as I go on today, but here's my to-do list.
Let's get started.
- Jack Dorsey who's one of the co-founders
of Twitter and Square.
This man is a billionaire.
He uses an infrared light.
I've heard of these before,
and apparently they're supposed to be good
for anti-aging and healing wounds.
Honestly, I'm not super worried about anti-aging right now,
and I don't have any wounds at the moment.
So, maybe if this is effective
and I start doing it now, I'll age like JLo.
- Oh, it's hot! I guess 'cause it's infrared.
I feel like I'm a lizard in a science classroom
with an infrared light.
We're just knocking things off my list.
I'm going through it really quickly.
And I think it's 'cause I like to wipe things off,
if you will.
I'm also way ahead of schedule.
- Not gonna lie, it actually feels like I'm laying
on the beach and the sun is like kissing my face.
I thought this was gonna be kind of annoying
'cause it's like super warm,
but it actually feels really calming.
Granted, I don't know if I could get work done
while having this lamp on
because it honestly is kinda putting me to sleep.
It's so calming. I just wanna...
I think this would be great for taking a nap.
- Updating you guys with this infrared light
that I got going on.
It makes me very sleepy,
very, very sleepy.
And I've been doing this for about two hours now, so.
Now, this next task
is taking a video call outside while walking.
I believe it's Austin Russell
who runs 5 to 10 miles a day.
Which could not be me, don't even know how to use my feet.
But basically, it's just to help with fatigue.
Yes, we'll see how, if this really helps with my fatigue
because that infrared light is really making me so sleepy.
So I'm excited to be out with some real light
- Walking and doing this was not good to work
for me outside with two phones.
So, I am FaceTiming my mom here
while walking on the treadmill instead.
- Wow. I really don't feel tired at all anymore.
I wasn't distracted with the meeting.
It's usually, when I come on meetings at my computer,
I'm grabbing my phone or I'm scrolling through Amazon,
don't tell my managers.
But here outside, I really do feel so refreshed,
and it looked like, honestly, my coworkers even were like,
"Wow, I should jump on this meeting and walk outside."
And they did.
So I feel very much influencer,
and honestly, I think this might be something
that I take into my everyday routine.
I can see why those successful people do this now.
So, the next task I will be doing
is doing an ice bath sauna situation.
That's supposed to help me calm down
and wind down after the evening.
I have the ice bath all figured out, but it's
the sauna back here
that I'm gonna have trouble building.
- There's so many pieces to this thing.
Oh, my gosh.
(whimsical music)
- Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
This is gonna be a lot harder than I thought it would be.
My cat's doing a great job of helping me.
- This was more work than I expected, but we're done.
What Jack Dorsey does, is he'll do 15 minutes in the sauna,
and then he'll jump out
and do three minutes in the ice bath.
I don't know what that's gonna feel like.
I feel like it's gonna jolt me,
which I don't know why you would do that in the evening
if you're trying to like calm down or chill out.
But, what do I know?
- Basically, for the sauna,
what you're trying to do is you are releasing toxins
by sweating it out,
and then your endorphins get a bit of a rush
when you jump into the ice.
I don't think this was made for someone of my stature.
(timer ticking)
- So, the 15 minutes
is up, (timer dings)
and I am drenched.
I'm literally... (gasps)
Oh, my God.
Okay. Let's jump into the...
Go to the ice bath.
- I'm not even being over dramatic. It is so cold.
And I have to add this ice.
I'm (beep) cold. I'm so cold.
I'm (beep) cold.
I am (beep) cold.
- Woo!
- I can't lay back.
I just, I can't.
I'm so cold.
- Ooh!
Aah.
I can't do this.
Oh, my God.
- I'm really trying to understand how this is relaxing.
(chill upbeat music)
I is tired.
I don't know how these rich successful people
have all this time to do all these things
while also doing their work.
I know they have whole teams and stuff. I don't know.
I feel like the walks were really a game changer for me.
I would love to incorporate that into my life.
The personal sauna was great. (chuckles)
I felt so relaxed.
The ice baths, y'all can miss me on the ice bath.
I don't need to do that (beep) again.
- This was such an interesting experience
because I did things today
that I never thought I would ever do.
I used an infrared light.
Did it make me sleepy? 1000%.
I went on walk today.
I found out there was a school in my neighborhood,
that goes to show that I don't exit my apartment.
I am definitely gonna do the walks in the meetings.
Every time I do them, it was sick. It was awesome.
I felt really rejuvenated after it.
So I'm definitely gonna be continuously doing that.
(upbeat music)
