Congratulations!

You clicked on this video which means you have officially taken the first step in getting your life together, being more productive and finally just getting the work done, achieving your dreams, okay?

Because we all know that procrastination is the cost of the life you could have lived

and even though we all know that, it still doesn't stop us from procrastinating.

But guess what?

I am going to because I got all of the tips and tricks

and I'm going to spill all of the secrets to you in this video I graduated from university last year

and I graduated with a first class degree before that

when I was 16 and I was in school I got straight A's in my exams right now.

I'm a full-time content creator on top of that.

I run my own business I have several streams of income.

So throughout each week I have many tasks to juggle

and organize and just have my life together so that I can be productive but also live my soft girl life, which is extremely important.

And this video is gonna be talking about my magic formula that I've learned over years of studying, doing essays, exams, and also working.

This formula is rooted in the structure of your daily routine because what a lot of people get wrong about productivity

is they think, oh, I just have to work more.

No, it's actually your day-to-day habits that you don't even think about that are secretly having a knock-on effect on your productivity.

So not only am I going to be sitting here talking giving you all of the secrets

and advice like I normally do

But throughout this video there will be vlog clips throughout to

show you what a productive day in the life looks like

for me How I make my daily routine work in my

favor as well as many scientifically proven hacks to help maximize your productivity

So consider this the last day of your lazy lifestyle

and the first of your success story

But before we start a quick announcement this video has kindly been sponsored by Hello Fresh And

if you don't know what hello fresh is it's a meal

kit delivery service where they literally ship to you fresh Ingredients

and a recipe card to help you make meal time much

easier The boxes contain pre portion ingredients for preparing your meals including sauces seasonings

and garnishes literally everything you need

So you don't have to go to the store to go

and buy the ingredients or even think about a shopping list It's

so easy to use you literally go on the website type

in your food preferences dietary requirements select your favorite meals and then they get delivered to your doorstep.

It literally took me five minutes as opposed to the 30 minutes I'd spend doing a traditional food shop.

HelloFresh has truly made my life 10 times easier as a busy girl with so many tasks and work to juggle.

I can literally eat nutritiously, balance my fitness goals alongside these meals that they're delivering to me, cut my cooking time and stress in half

and then maximize all of the success I have in my working life because meal time is just done.

But I'll show you a little bit more about how they actually fit into my routine later on in the video.

The first step to increasing productivity, waking up early.

How do I do it?

It's so hard.

To be honest, I've always been a night owl and I've hated the thought of waking up early.

But now I do it with ease.

You know why?

Because I have a slow morning with no work scheduled.

That's the secret.

You are waking up for your own enjoyment.

And most importantly, when you wake up early, you are about to romanticize the hell out of your life.

Let me show you how it's done.

No one wants to get out of bed when they know they have to go to school as soon as they do, or they have to go to work, or they have a desk full of work, emails, tasks, an admin waiting for them.

Ew.

Like why would I want to wake up early for that, you know?

So instead, I prioritize doing something that I enjoy in the morning so I literally leap out of bed in excitement.

But people don't do that.

They try to maximize their rest and they're like, oh I'll just wake up 20 minutes before so then I rush out of bed, get ready and then go to work.

Because that means every day you wake up you're dreading the day ahead and that dread is what leads to procrastination.

The preferences for everybody is going to be different but ultimately the rule is to introduce some magic into your day.

Because when I was a uni student and I hated studying, I was no good at it But I would wake up every morning, I'd act like I was a movie character.

And I would play my favourite song, I'd leap out of bed.

I, you know I dance most mornings?

I literally wake up, I dance to Hannah Montana.

I start the day with the feeling of happiness.

And then as soon as I get ready, I head to the gym first thing in the morning.

And I know what you're thinking, that's work, that's boring, that's a chore.

It doesn't have to be.

I hated and dreaded the gym until I'd reframed my mindset.

Now, I don't go to the gym to burn a certain amount of calories, or lose weight, or make my body look a certain way.

I go for my mental health.

I go to chase the feeling of happiness, accomplishment and success.

I feel when I walk out of the gym and I'm driving home.

I don't stress about having to build a bigger booty or getting a flat stomach.

I don't care.

I do a workout of exercises that are easy and that I enjoy because ultimately exercise leads to a spike in productivity.

It's a proven fact that exercise helps to create new mitochondria, thus more energy

and more energy means that we can work for longer periods without that drop in productivity and without becoming stressed.

That fact right there combined with the fact

that it's going to make sure

that my mental health stays stable means I look forward to going to the gym every day

because I'm doing it for myself.

And then the next step in my slow morning routine

which is all about happiness and prioritizing myself is breakfast

which I've made an enjoyable task and this is where we talk about nutrients and its linked to productivity, which is very important and very overlooked.

Most people eat cereals, crepes, or pastries for breakfast, which actually make you feel sluggish and impact your productivity negatively.

As a result, you need to focus on low sugar, like granola, eggs, oats, avocado, and toast.

I like to make healthy high fiber yogurt bowls, or here I'm making my favorite protein fruit smoothie.

Whatever you choose, just make sure you avoid eating foods

that are high in added sugar because this will spike your blood sugar, causing you to crash later and feel tired so you won't work.

You're literally self-sabotaging if you're not taking care of what you eat throughout the day, especially in the morning.

So I actually don't go to the gym every day.

I do it every other day.

So on the days that I haven't worked out first thing in the morning and I haven't had my protein shake, instead I'll make myself a iced matcha latte

and I really just romanticize the process of making it

and then the first thing i do after waking up is sip on my matcha latte

and i'll read a book first thing in the morning

and then that's my slow morning routine with no work

and you know

if you have a nine to five literally wake up one

100

hour earlier just to prioritize doing something you enjoy this is

101

an actual proven practice i've read in several self-help books

102

and did you know that getting ready like doing your hair putting a little bit makeup on,

103

putting a good outfit on leads to increased productivity because that boost in confidence when you're feeling yourself leads to better work.

104

And this is so true because when I try and be cozy and chill and I don't even brush my hand, I try and work all day in my pajamas at home, my brain is still in chill mode.

105

Like it hasn't distinguished the change in my priorities, okay?

106

In my head, it's still time to chill and lay in bed and do nothing.

107

So really putting on an outfit and getting dressed signals to your brain, okay, now it's time for a new task.

108

So after getting ready for the day, I have task number one Which is normally packaging orders for my jewelry business

109

and doing a post office run I use time restrictions

110

So I will say I have 45 minutes to pack all of these orders

111

and get them to the post office

112

or else This links into a very popular productivity method called time blocking

113

And this is a time management technique

114

which will help you gain more control over your to-do list

115

and help you procrastinate less Whereas if you don't make this schedule and you just think yeah okay, I have the whole eight, nine hour day to do all of these tasks.

116

You are more likely to procrastinate and waste time because you have an infinite sense of time as a result.

117

So you should be timing each of your tasks so that you can set better boundaries.

118

A very important tip that links into this is please do not say that you are going to work the entire day.

119

This is exactly what breeds procrastination.

120

Hours of studying or working all day does not equal success because think about it, You could only study from 9am to midday every single day.

121

Three hours of uninterrupted, no distraction, smart work.

122

And you are already achieving more than saying, I'm going to study from 9am to 9pm.

123

You're taking loads of breaks.

124

You're scrolling on your phone.

125

You're being distracted.

126

And it's not focused, productive work.

127

And then you're just wasting the whole day.

128

And then you feel burnt out because you haven't been resting and prioritizing yourself.

129

And then we have the crucial task of staying organized and creating productivity systems It's actually very simple.

130

I use my apple calendars app I create different colored calendars

131

according to all of the things I have to balance in my life Whether

132

that be studying or my business or my social media

133

or my youtube I then use my time blocking technique

134

and I make sure I do a little bit of each task every single day Because

135

when you commit one day to saying i'm gonna do eight

136

hours of this one task you're going to get bored and you're going to procrastinate.

137

So do yourself a favor and create a schedule that works for you.

138

This might take some trial and error, but you will be saving yourself so much time in the long run.

139

When creating this productivity system, I allow for flexibility because I want to stay in my feminine energy while working and achieving my goals.

140

And this means following my intuition rather than logic and rigid order like the masculine.

141

It's also very important to consider what kind of work you feel like doing that day and play to your strengths.

142

Don't force yourself to do a task that you have no capacity to do

143

and then instead waste the whole day trying to do something You never wanted to do in the first place.

144

How do I beat procrastination?

145

How do I stay focused and minimize distractions?

146

I use this hack all throughout my studying

147

and I still do it now when I have an extremely busy work day That I just can't be bothered to do.

148

Okay, and it's called pomodoro timer you google it It's free

149

and essentially this is a 25 minute timer and it makes working

150

so much more bearable it literally destroys any need for me to procrastinate

151

because i'm like oh i literally only need to do 25

152

minutes of work then i take a five minute break

153

or a 10 minute break depending on where i'm at during the day

154

and then it's just another 25 minute session before i can

155

take a break take a walk eat a snack whatever this is such a useful resource

156

because it's literally based on the very common hack of only doing five minutes of the task

157

that you're procrastinating over because 99% of the time your biggest obstacle is just starting.

158

Once you've started, you're fine.

159

You've literally solved majority of your problems just in those first five minutes.

160

I reframed my mindset.

161

So when I used to dread going to the gym in the morning, I'd say, all I have to do is get ready right now and sit in my car.

162

That's it.

163

Because once I've gotten out of bed, I've gotten ready and I'm sat in my car outside of the house.

164

I'm not going to walk back in the house.

165

I can't procrastinate.

166

I've literally already done the hardest part of the task.

167

So if you're in school, reframe your mindset.

168

It's not, oh my God, I have to study for eight hours today.

169

It's no, I have to leave my house and go to the library, sit in the library with my laptop, that's it.

170

So don't focus on the copious amount of work you have to do because that's where dread and procrastination comes into play.

171

Just focus on the first step.

172

And then I have a few other mini hacks to help with beating procrastination.

173

For example, use pressure to your advantage.

174

So if you're in school studying the library, because all of the other students around you, just them studying will pressure you into typing and studying.

175

If you are sat there on your phone, this used to happen to me all the time.

176

I feel so guilty for sitting on my phone when I was in a room of students who were studying.

177

When I was 16, I used to set up my phone

178

and do a time lapse of me recording

179

because I feel too bad having to watch back the video after and see me just sitting there doing something else, watching YouTube on my computer instead.

180

I was literally setting a competition with myself to see how long I could study to keep this video going.

181

The biggest tip that helped me was shutting down my phone, leaving it in another room or giving it to another person

182

and telling them they can't give it back to me for the end of the day.

183

And after this is lunchtime and we link nutrition to productivity like I said before.

184

It's now one o'clock and once I've done those first year working tasks, it's now time for lunch.

185

And I have been using HelloFresh, which has very quickly become a part of my working and productive routine.

186

It saves me so much time and stress

187

while also contributing to all of my fitness goals because I'll exercise in the morning.

188

All of these meals look so good, but I think today I'm going to go for the glazed chicken on sun-dried tomato couscous for lunch.

189

The link between productivity and nutrition is massively overlocked.

190

We already saw this in how I do breakfast, but lunch and dinner can be more difficult to plan, which is why HelloFresh helps me.

191

But all I want to say is if you want to remain sharp and focused, you have to stay away from foods that will spike your glucose because when you're stressed,

192

okay, I know this firsthand, it's easy to eat comfort food and sweets, but what you're doing is you're actually self-sabotaging in the process.

193

When you take care your nutrition and your gut health your energy levels

194

and your happiness will be so much higher and your work

195

and efficiency will benefit in the long run i cannot tell you how happy

196

and satisfied i am right now are you seeing this guys before hello fresh i used to skip meals

197

because i'd be so busy in my day and i'd get

198

so caught up in my filming schedule that i wouldn't eat

199

because i'd literally just forget and

200

when i did get hungry i'd make a very sad ham

201

and cucumber sandwich

202

That is not an exaggeration now i'm out here eating this

203

The flavor now let's commit this portion of the video to spilling all of my top productivity Secrets

204

and hacks before I show you some more vlog footage at the end of the video Okay, so tip number one is creating an overall life system Okay,

205

this is gonna make just tackling life every day so much easier

206

So the life system i've created for myself looks like okay

207

step number one creating my calendar color coding it time blocking it every single week

208

That is a non-negotiable and then they're signing up to services like hello fresh, which make meal time easier And it means i'm cutting out time

209

and also still meeting all of my health goals

210

And then there's committing every evening and every saturday to doing things that spark joy, you know Seeing friends relaxing taking time for hobbies I then

211

commit every sunday to getting my life in order preparing everything for the week ahead to make my life easier

212

So it's not like oh my god I haven't hoovered in ages.

213

I haven't cleaned my bathroom.

214

I need to do this chore or this chore randomly on random days.

215

I also have a habit tracker in my phone

216

so then I'm ticking off other goals and being productive about life with remembering to take my supplements, remembering to journal.

217

The goal here is to prep so that you can do yourself a favor and take the thinking out of life.

218

So like you're creating all of these systems for example having a habit tracker

219

or having a calendar so then you just know what you have to do every single day

220

and you're not wasting time procrastinating about oh my god I need to get my life in order and be organized.

221

Hack number two is increasing motivation.

222

For me, I go on TikTok and I'll type in motivational content, motivational speeches, and I then have a collection,

223

like a favorites tab on my TikTok profile where I've saved all these videos.

224

Every single morning, as soon as I wake up, instead of scrolling on Instagram or Twitter or whatever, I watch all of these videos.

225

But other than that, I do not rely on motivation.

226

It is fleeting, it's not sustainable long-term.

227

So instead, I focus on discipline and everyone wants to know how can you become more disciplined.

228

Discipline is about mastering self-control and the way you do

229

that is you start practicing Setting boundaries with yourself saying no to yourself taking control of your life

230

So if you want to have discipline in the work you do

231

and how productive you are You have to start small

232

and create a habit out of having that control over yourself and your choices.

233

So this starts with This week i'm just going to be disciplined about waking up early

234

because once you accomplish that You start forming a habit out of being disciplined

235

and then that discipline becomes easy for the big tasks like being productive.

236

Three, but what if I have a load of work to do

237

and I literally have to work for 12 hours a day?

238

I have no choice.

239

I feel you because I left all of my uni work to the very last minute

240

and this is how I managed to work very long hour days.

241

The key is creating separation because if you stay at home, if you stay in your bedroom, if I was to work at that desk for 12 hours a day, it does not work.

242

It fails.

243

I'm setting myself up for failure

244

because you get bored your brain wants to give up your brain isn't stimulated

245

and this also ties in with time blocking so my advice to you

246

and i did this while i was at university

247

while i was doing my final exams i would spend the

248

morning 9am till midday studying in my bedroom at university then i would have lunch at home

249

and then i would spend 1pm till 4pm working in a cafe then i would go home eat dinner

250

and then i would spend another three to four hours at

251

my university library okay now That's taken a full 12 hour day of work into three,

252

three to four hour blocks where I am in different locations.

253

Every time you create that separation between each task and each location, you will kind of like refreshing your mind, refreshing your environment.

254

And it doesn't feel like you've been working all day because now you have new stimuli.

255

And you know you only have three hours of work in that place before you have to get up, eat, and then move to the next location,

256

which gives you that time restriction and helps with the time blocking.

257

When you wake up thinking, I'm just gonna sit at that desk for 12 hours, once again, you have that infinite sense of time and that's what breeds procrastination.

258

Four, I can't work properly because I have fear of failure.

259

I feel you, I feel you because I struggled with this for so long and this is how I overcame it.

260

Journal, write a text in your phone, write it down, okay?

261

You are gonna keep talking to yourself and questioning what the root is of this fear of failure.

262

For example, why do I fear this?

263

What is the worst case scenario?

264

What is the best case scenario?

265

Why do I feel I am not capable of doing well at this?

266

In that case, how could I better prepare for this task to feel more confident in doing so?

267

Keep questioning until you destroy the fear of failure with logic.

268

And also remember, procrastination is just the cause of the fear that you don't know how to do something.

269

So question it, why don't I know how to do this?

270

And also remember, you are never going to know how to do something unless you take the first step to try.

271

And like I said before, it all links into the first five minute rule.

272

Taking that first step sets you on a roll.

273

Six, but how can I be productive when I'm sad, I have low mood, so I just literally don't have the energy to even get up and do it.

274

You're gonna take one day to prioritize yourself, do the things that spark joy, even if that's laying in bed, eating popcorn, watching Netflix, that's okay.

275

This is a you day.

276

And then the next day you can start working.

277

And I promise you, when you wake up on that next day, you're gonna be ready because you're going to be refreshed.

278

And I know what you're thinking.

279

I can't waste a whole day not doing anything, not being productive.

280

Yes, you can.

281

One day is not going to make a significant difference in the entire trajectory of your life.

282

Your mental health comes first.

283

Your purpose and work as a human being is not tied to how productive

284

and how much work you get done every single day.

285

And then seven, how do I factor in rest on a regular to actually have a balanced work-life schedule?

286

This is crucial to not be burnt out, okay? because

287

if you are going to overwork yourself and believe that you do have to work 12 hours every day, you're doing yourself a disservice in the long run.

288

And the only key to be consistent in being productive and maintaining productivity is rest and regular breaks and balance.

289

That's how you be consistent.

290

You absolutely must make the time in your daily schedule to bring comfort back into your life and appreciate the little joys.

291

That's what's going to create happiness and keep you going long term.

292

And if you still don't understand the purpose of that

293

or how that links into your productivity Think of it like a reward on the days

294

that you don't feel motivated

295

and you don't want to get the work done You are going to use those little joys

296

and that comfort and that social interaction wherever you choose As the thing

297

that will get you through that working day and I do this all the time Okay, one of my favorite things to do is take myself on a little solo day.

298

I'll go to a starbucks drive-thru It's literally my favorite place.

299

I park up my car.

300

I watch the sunset I drink my favorite drink and I journal.

301

This reward motivates me to get through the working day and work smarter and not harder.

302

It prevents me from procrastinating so I actually get the reward

303

and it gives me more of a life balance so I feel refreshed and happy every day.

304

Journaling during this is my favorite peaceful practice.

305

It allows me to just be present with myself and my emotions.

306

I also journal for accountability right

307

and this also motivates me throughout the working day to not procrastinate

308

and achieve my work goals to be productive

309

and I'll literally I know every time I journal every day

310

no matter what I do before bed I'll journal I have to write okay

311

so I had this goal for today

312

which I wrote in my journal last night I did it

313

or I didn't do it and

314

because I know I'm going to be journaling at the end

315

of the day I know how shitty I'm going to feel

316

if I know I spent the whole day procrastinating because

317

if I spent the whole day scrolling on TikTok I have to write

318

that down and writing it down and being aware of the fact

319

that you really didn't show up for yourself today it makes

320

you feel bad right it's like you're your own accountability partner

321

and then my final productivity tip

322

which ties into routine again is having a good night routine

323

which is also tied into joy and self-love

324

and excitement just like with my morning routine i want it

325

to be slow okay it's not about work it's about building

326

up my energy for the day the same as with night it's about winding down properly

327

so when i wake up I'm not like oh my god, I didn't even get rest.

328

I didn't even get to watch tv I don't want to spend a whole other day hustling again.

329

So i'll make myself a cup of tea I'll lay in bed.

330

I'll have my favorite pajamas on I'll maybe watch some netflix

331

or read a book and allow myself to fully wind down

332

That way i'm well rested for my busy day the next day

333

and I won't be mad about it

334

And then I go to sleep I wake up

335

and I do the whole routine again and

336

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
