so this has been my current work setup okay not actually i do work indoors like a normal person
but my schedule has been a mess because i've been traveling for the entire past
month so on more relaxed days like this one when we don't need to drive anywhere or do anything i
usually like to still wake up relatively early sometimes i don't sometimes i sleep in until
noon but today i actually managed to wake up at 8 40 so everyone else was still sleeping
while i did my morning routine also please excuse how swollen my eyes look in this
first part of the video because there's just something wrong with my eyes right
now i don't know what's going on they just look like that in the morning okay moving on
so i tried to wake up before my family so that i could get some of the vlogging talking part
of this done because there is nothing more awkward than trying to vlog in front of your
family but my mom woke up so that that's okay she's allowed to wake up whenever she wants
so i escaped to the bedroom so that i can tell you about how i'm planning my day
okay so the app that i use everyone always asks me about this this is called to do
it's spelled in french so it's t-e-u-x-d-e-u-x i've been using this for years i love it okay
so the big thing i'm doing today is i'm filming this day in the life video
another big thing that i have to do today is stuff for the book so i'm actually allowed to talk about
the book now because when you're watching this video the book will already be announced but
through the magic of the internet where i am currently in space and time i have not made
the announcement yet so i have to prepare for that in two days um where is that okay so i was
going to research some companies for printing the pre-order gifts and look over the designs of maia
a few random emails to send when i'm at home i like to do a midweek check-in but i just don't
think that's needed while i'm traveling i'm gonna design that thumbnail get that done ahead of time
i'm gonna post on instagram to promote our dream team and by telling you about this
i'm also promoting it in this youtube video so the dream team is our membership community on vibely
um where you get tons of bonuses so one thing i do is i send my weekly review as this long detailed
personal behind-the-scenes newsletter um you get access to all of my book notes and summaries that
i have written and will write in the future there's a vip level where you get your name
at the end of videos you get physical goodies and gifts you get free access to the 21 days of
productive flow course so there's a lot going on and if you're interested watching this the link
is in the description to learn more i'm just so good at effortlessly cross-promoting my stuff um
and then the last thing is i want to send postcards i still have not
bought the postcards um and we're in a very small city right now i forget what it's called literally
every single time i forget what it's called cubelles cubelles it doesn't sound very spanish
i hope i'm pronouncing it right but if i do find postcards while we're out and about today i'll
buy them and i'll write them but if not whatever it's fine we're on vacation it's chill you guys
message me a lot asking about this recipe so i'm gonna tell you it once and for all
the first thing you do is you chop up like three bell peppers and one or two onions and this makes
about three or four servings put a teaspoon of olive oil in the pan saute the vegetables
um add a pinch of salt a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar the vinegar is really important
spinach a generous heaping of spinach because you know when spinach cooks down it just becomes this
tiny tiny itty-bitty wilted thing and then at the end you're gonna mix in two eggs i've been
making this a lot while we've been traveling but this is actually the first time that i have all
of the ingredients that i need to make it properly um this is the first time i
have olive oil available to me as well as balsamic vinegar this makes the dish
so it has not tasted right the entire time that i've been making it but today i think it's going
to be really really good today the last thing you're going to do is slice up like a quarter
of an avocado bonus points for presentation and you're done it's really hot in here
after i had breakfast and got attacked by a bee i tried to get some work done
i think i went to the bedroom because there weren't any outlets by the kitchen table so
working on the bed was the next best thing i spent some time researching companies for
printing tote bags and art prints and stickers and such and i just got so into the flow i completely
disregarded my pomodoros which you know is very out of character for me and i wasn't
even distracted by my brother in the background doing i don't know whatever he does on his phone
then we fueled up with a delicious homemade lunch and went up to the beach we were there for a
couple of days so every time that we went to the beach i would usually alternate between swimming
playing tennis with my brother and the very cliche reading a book by the beach so i downloaded on my
kindle land of big numbers by te-ping chen which was not at all like what i usually read it was
a collection of fictional short stories that are slightly in the supernatural slash magical genre
but also show some like very mundane parts of life in an interesting way so if that sounds
good to you i have a link in the description i'm not promoting this book or anything
once we got back from the beach i had a snack and then i opened up my computer
so here's where we get to the dramatic part of this video basically when we went
to the beach i put my laptop and a water bottle into my bag which was pretty stupid
um and then suddenly i felt water dripping down my side because the water bottle had come uncapped
and i was like oh it's fine like the computer's closed it won't be damaged everything's fine
um yeah so it just was not working the lcd screen had like a water stain on it so i wanted this
video to show the realistic struggles of working while traveling and the universe was like hey
how about your computer breaks how's that for a struggle that'll make for great video content
after that i went to the grocery store with my dad and brother pretty much just as a distraction
because i was pretty annoyed with myself and then my brother and i took the new york times
linguistics test which tells you which part of the united states you sound like you're from and my
brother was a little annoyed with our results how do you get madison in Milwaukee when i get Orlando
i get the worst cities in the us and you get
rochester milwaukee and madison it wasn't like i got some of wisconsin im blue and yellow
florida was bright red after that we headed out to the beach again because when you're
surrounded by scenery this beautiful you just have to take advantage of it
gonna find a flat rock like this it can be larger this is probably below optimal size
you have to have muscle you gotta get that velocity
after a night walk we stopped for dinner at a pizza place
the owner said that it was his grandma's recipe so props to his grandma for a banging pizza recipe
and of course we had some sangria which i can post footage of because
the drinking age in europe is 18 so please do not come after me
so after the whole spilling water on my computer fiasco
i actually got to use my mom's computer so that was a lifesaver but i still stayed up later than
planned answering emails and stuff and then i also needed to organize some of my to-do list
based on what i could and couldn't do now that i didn't have my computer
but my brain was just too fried to do that so i just went to bed i did brush my teeth and wash my
face and update day one with a quick journal entry but yeah that was a very realistic day
if you're curious my computer is currently in the hands of apple i did have applecare plus so
the repairs were luckily free but i miss my baby i'll be okay though i hope you enjoyed
this video let me know what other spain content you want to see and i'll see you next week bye
