How many people ask us, what's the best morning routine?
2
It's like, it's like, you actually can't have a good morning routine.
3
Every day you're trying to do everything at once.
4
It's too much and you never feel like you're getting anywhere.
5
Focusing on sleeping enough.
6
I am a type of person, if I do not get eight hours, holy moly, you do not want to be around me.
7
Stop watching other people do what you want to do.
8
Go out and do what you want to do.
9
Yeah.
10
These non -negotiables are the things that we have literally lived and breathed.
11
Before you get distracted with the shiny next thing or the trend or whatever it is, make sure you're nailing these things first.
12
Welcome back to the Oilers Talk podcast.
13
I'm Kate and I'm Gemma, a space for no BS conversations for the women who want more.
14
Today, we want to cover a really practical episode around the
15
non -negotiables you can do daily to really set you up for success.
16
The things that we do day in, day out and have tried and tested these things to make a huge difference on us achieving our goals,
17
how we feel, how we avoid burnout and all of that good stuff.
18
So we really am excited to kind of go through a bit of an action plan for you today.
19
I love this.
20
And I feel like this is like a basic bitch episode.
21
Like it's so basic and it's so boring, but it's the stuff that really is that 1 % that we overlook, but really matters in terms of,
22
you know, allowing us to either pour into our own cup a little bit more, achieve the goals that we want to achieve.
23
I feel like we have more spaciousness and time to just like be present
24
and do the things that we want to do.
25
So do you want me to start?
26
Yeah, kick it off, Bestie.
27
So I think my first thing is hitting or a non -negotiable I have is hitting 10 ,000 steps every single day.
28
Now, is this a magical number?
29
No, but it does allow me to not sit on my ass all day.
30
Now, when I think about the job that I do now, I do sit in front of my computer for probably five, six, sometimes seven hours a day.
31
And if I'm not actively setting myself a step goal.
32
It's really easy for me to not get enough steps in.
33
And then what do I get?
34
A sore lower back, neck pain because I'm hunched over.
35
I don't feel like I've moved my body.
36
I'm not feeling, you know, like I have, what's the word I'm looking for?
37
Like good cognitive function because I've just been staring at a screen all day.
38
And it actually allows me to, yes, move my body more so I'm not living a sedentary lifestyle or sedentary.
39
Do I say that wrong?
40
No, I don't know.
41
I think you just like, you've lacked the confidence with the word for a bit.
42
So now you're like second guess yourself.
43
Anyways, but it's so I don't live a life where I'm just sitting down constantly.
44
And it also allows me to have that like a mental break in the middle of the day, which I think is really important, especially if you are a work from home girly, corporate girly office worker.
45
If you're sitting and staring at your screen all of the time, it's like, you're going to go brain numb.
46
We need to get up.
47
We need to move our body.
48
And that is honestly like a daily non -negotiable for me, 10 ,000 steps all the time.
49
Yeah.
50
I think like the step thing is so good for so many goals.
51
Like if you do have a fat loss goal, like moving more is going to help you get there alongside your diet.
52
If you do have a goal or like you just want to feel better, the by -product of walking more, and I hear this from my clients all the time, I know you would as well,
53
is like, oh, I walked more because that was the fitness thing.
54
But now I actually love my walks
55
because it's like intentional time I get to myself to like listen to a podcast
56
or go in nature or even just the fact
57
that it then makes you feel really energized to break up your day like I think there's
58
so many more benefits beyond just the physical that come with doing
59
that and I think like when you change your routine like say you've changed your job
60
or you've moved or something's happened and you've kind of fallen out of
61
that like the quickest or the thing
62
that I would work really hard to re -establish would just
63
be like a solid routine where walking every day is my
64
norm like for me at the moment I train in the morning
65
and I was also finding I go through different phases where
66
I'm like oh I'm on my computer a lot doing zoom calls
67
and stuff I'm not actually doing as many steps as I would want
68
and then I was like well how am I going to make
69
that work that's going to feel easier
70
so I have a walking pad I think that's like the
71
best investment I got in 2020 it was like two
72
or three hundred dollars
73
and I use it every single week for six years like it's a crazy something
74
that I think is really worthwhile but with
75
that I'm like that's just handy like if it's raining outside I'll use
76
that and just do some steps
77
and reply to messages it's just like how can I habit stack
78
that that goal of moving more something that we both love
79
and look forward to is like I actually love where I
80
walk every day oh I crave it yeah like you have the beach
81
which i think is like absolutely elite
82
but like i recently found a new reserve
83
and i'm like love my reserve like it's a good one it is good like i take kate with me
84
and i enjoy that um
85
but it's like you can actually find joy in these little things like i feel like you know
86
that whole saying around like romanticizing life like romanticize your walks like life is life sometimes things are mundane
87
but you can kind of make things more fun
88
if you decide to be a bit whimsical about it like
89
yeah walk listen to my harry potter taking my best friend
90
whatever i want to do like it's actually makes I don't
91
know I just feel like it just makes everything more enjoyable Yeah, I love, like I actually crave,
92
like crave my morning walk with a coffee and a podcast because that is like my sacred time.
93
I'm not on social media.
94
I'm not consuming.
95
I'm not talking to anyone.
96
I allow my thoughts to come in.
97
I voice note myself.
98
So if I want to like create bits of content with that, it's just, it's like spaciousness for my brain.
99
But then it also is the time if I want to learn something that's
100
when I can lock in like I invest in a course
101
like a social media course at the start of the year
102
or the middle of the year I don't fucking know time
103
flies way too quickly whatever I swear whenever I talk about
104
a time frame you guys need to know like it's loose okay like don't try
105
and fact check me it's fucking loose it's like my analogies
106
they're not they're not correct okay anyways I invest in a
107
course I found it really hard to do this course because I am freaking busy all the time.
108
But I started listening to it on my morning walks and I was like, oh my God, this is incredible.
109
Like I can just learn all of these things and it allows me the spaciousness to do so.
110
So morning walk, morning routine, hitting 10 ,000 steps is number one.
111
The second daily non -negotiable that I have is getting enough sleep.
112
Oh, how many people ask us, what's the best morning routine?
113
It's like, psych, you actually can't have a good morning routine unless you have a good nighttime routine
114
and you're focusing on sleeping enough i am a type of person
115
if i do not get eight hours holy moly you do
116
not want to be around me yeah i am not functioning
117
i am not my best self i really really prioritize my sleep
118
and i have a pretty strict nighttime routine like i'll be
119
in bed by like ideally 7 30 a month hates that
120
but ideally 7 30 if not eight o 'clock
121
and I'm like aiming to be asleep by like nine nine thirty at the very latest
122
and I will usually I mean last night we were scrolling on our phone
123
but we didn't have any we had a slumber party it's a whole different story different story
124
but we didn't have any like brain rot time anyways whatever
125
but usually I'll try to not be on my phone
126
and just allow myself to fall asleep
127
and I'll stay asleep I'll have way better quality and quantity sleep
128
and then it allows me to actually have a morning routine
129
and get up and do my morning walk and get my coffee and have more time and spaciousness myself,
130
but I will not be able to prioritize myself in the morning and do that daily non -negotiable of a morning walk.
131
For example, if my nighttime routine is really, really shit or I'm not getting enough sleep.
132
Yeah.
133
I, um, I don't know what's up this week, but I've been sleeping like six hours and 30 minutes.
134
Oh, like five days.
135
Is your aura telling you that?
136
Yeah.
137
I'm like, what's up with that?
138
But the repercussions of that is I'm like, that's not good.
139
We're going to work on that.
140
This got to work on improving that
141
but i think everyone is often looking for like a supplement to give them more energy
142
or some sort of hack
143
or they go really far with like the biohacking of like the saunas
144
and things like that and it's like none of that matters
145
if you are not prioritizing the thing that you're probably avoiding
146
because it's you probably enjoy scrolling or whatever like you just that's like the thing
147
that you need to kind of work on first with my night term routine i
148
enjoy like having a shower before bed putting on like a nice moisturizer
149
or whatever and then just like chilling out like
150
that makes me feel like I've gotten to the end of the day I feel accomplished
151
and it's like now I can actually have a really good sleep
152
so I think that's something
153
that I also try to prioritize obviously other than this week I don't know what's going on
154
but that's like something I'm always coming back to because I'm like
155
if I'm feeling groggy or I'm feeling like I'm not on my A game it's often
156
because I have let
157
that slip something I've heard people say before like how do
158
you go from going to bed really late to then getting to
159
that I just would do it gradually like gradually start going to bed an hour earlier
160
and an hour earlier until you can kind of get to
161
a point where you're getting somewhere between seven to nine hours ideally
162
and then try to find something
163
that you enjoy doing like put on your jammies have a tea I don't know whatever you enjoy
164
but like make it something that doesn't seem like a chore yeah I love
165
that what was your next one it's a great question my next one was around productivity versus just being busy
166
and this is like a bit of a lesson that I've learned
167
because we have a lot on and we have a lot of plans
168
and I've just acknowledged
169
that I need more capacity to do all of the things I want to do
170
and when I say more capacity like I need to create more capacity and space
171
by being efficient like
172
if i'm kind of basically times like switching between things too quickly i've noticed
173
that it doesn't give me my best work but
174
if i'm more intentional about when i do things i can get more done
175
so an example of that would be like kate
176
and i have like set check -in days for our clients we have set days
177
that we record the potty and that we plan stuff at the potty
178
and that like physical blocking of our week gives a lot of clarity
179
and space to fit more things in
180
and it also allows us to be really honed in on doing well on those particular tasks
181
so the contrast to that would be like let's try to grow the potty.
182
Let's grow the business.
183
Let's do this.
184
But then every day you're trying to do everything at once.
185
It's too much and you never feel like you're getting anywhere.
186
So I really love the idea of like having these set days where things are happening
187
and really dialing in and refining what we do on those days.
188
The other thing I really like working for myself, working for ourselves and also working at home is having structure around the day
189
and not just like well I have done this before
190
and I've had to work on it it's like I try
191
not to be on my laptop at 9 p .m at night
192
because it just feels like there's no reprieve
193
and there's no like creative reset yeah
194
so like we we've already spoken about like the morning routine we love our training we love our walking
195
but then it's kind of like then it's 9 a .m
196
and I'm in my home office and I'm working until I have my lunch break
197
and then I'm working in the afternoon
198
and just the intentionality around like time structure
199
and then just being more efficient with what I'm doing on what days yeah I love
200
that my next one is actually reducing screen time
201
but most importantly social media consumption and curating what it is that I actually consume
202
now the reason why this is like a daily non -negotiable
203
for me as you guys know we work on social media it's really important
204
that we're not over consuming and then the the repercussions of
205
that or the snowball effect of that is us not creating content
206
and I think it's really really important that
207
if you are someone who feels like they don't have enough hours in the day to get things done
208
and you know achieve the things that they want to achieve
209
but their screen time is 10 hours it's like come on we need to be reducing
210
that and then also equally if you are using your phone
211
or you are consuming social media content and watching what other people are doing, make sure it's a curated environment.
212
Like, do you want to be consuming content of really negative shit all of the time?
213
Or do you actually want to follow people that inspire you, that showcase, you know, what they're doing is available to you as well, where they're the permission slip for you to go after the life that they want?
214
So I'm really, really meticulous in my non -negotiables of using Opal, non -sponsored, they should, hit them up,
215
tag them in the comments, using Opal.
216
And they are essentially a time blocking app that removes distracting apps.
217
So things like TikTok, Instagram, or whatever it is that you're constantly using, YouTube, et cetera.
218
And this has allowed me to save so much time in terms of scrolling,
219
getting consumed into content, and then wasting time consuming and not necessarily creating.
220
So using Opal, blocking myself out of apps, curating the kind of media that I'm consuming and being really,
221
really intentional with that allows me to create more, have more spaciousness, go outside, go for a walk and essentially do all my other non -negotiables as well.
222
Yeah, I love that.
223
I think that's so important because it's really easy to get sucked in.
224
And it's like, if you get sucked in watching what everyone's doing
225
and then you're not getting where you're going to get it's kind of really sad
226
and we can all do it
227
but it's just kind of like stop watching other people do what you want to do go out
228
and do what you want to do yeah I think something
229
that I do non -negotiable every day is just around like trying to manage my energy
230
and trying to obviously eat really well this is a bit of a sidestep
231
but like I think nutrition daily is something
232
that we both really prioritize it's like we don't just like get busy
233
and then forget to eat where like having consistent intake of
234
food throughout the day we're always prioritizing protein in all of our main meals and I think just like having
235
being treating nutrition as not this deficit thing all the time it's actually like this is nourishing me
236
and giving me energy and giving me fuel I think
237
that that's something that we do really well but then I also think
238
when we're busy and we have lots of things on
239
and like maybe you know something happens on the podcast maybe
240
like someone comments something mean on our social media for example i think the thing
241
that we've both gotten really good at is like emotional regulation
242
and not being triggered by things because i think
243
when we put ourselves out there and
244
when we are like focusing a lot on trying to do
245
all of these different things in different elements like fitness business
246
podcasting social life i think we need to manage our energy really well
247
so when i think of like daily things
248
that we do intentional time away from our phones having a break throughout the day to just like reset
249
and not feeling guilty for doing
250
that I think um like trying to ground ourselves like sometimes
251
I just put my little feet on the grass outside
252
and just put some sun on my face
253
and then I go back to work and I feel
254
so much better for it so like those kinds of like grounding techniques
255
and things really help and then
256
if I think about going a little bit deeper on emotional
257
regulation maybe like some breath work stuff can really help that's probably its own other topic
258
but i think like there's some really cool things especially if you have um you know, an ultra human ring or an opal, not opal, what's this?
259
Aura.
260
Aura ring.
261
They actually have some inbuilt features around like three or five minute breathing techniques, but I've used those before, before bed or during the day.
262
And I'm like, oh, they make me feel really good and just like more clarity.
263
So, yeah, that's like the things that we, I think, help us stay on top.
264
Yeah.
265
I also love like daily non -negotiable for me, which I, have I said this yet?
266
What is it?
267
10 minutes of silence.
268
No. should be number one for me, to be honest, because I live and breathe this and it is a daily non -negotiable for me.
269
So I don't lose my marbles.
270
So essentially what I do every single day is I will do 10 minutes of silence, no laptop, no phone, no distraction,
271
literally me lying on the floor in my office with my office door shut and my phone on the other side.
272
So I don't have the reflex of trying to grab it and like reply to messages.
273
And I just lie in silence.
274
Usually it involves my dog my stuffy lying on top of me
275
and I'll just be patting him for 10 minutes I've got the little heater on it's nice
276
and warm in my office
277
and it actually allows me to decompress de -stress from the day
278
and also shift into home time so having
279
that clear separation like what you were mentioning before instead of
280
being on your laptop at like 9 p .m at night having
281
that clear separation of like cool I'm shutting down for the day I'm upholding my boundaries inside of my business
282
and with my clients and with my work I'm having 10 minutes to decompress
283
and then I'm going into into nighttime with my partner where
284
I cook dinner we watch a movie we connect we go
285
for a walk with the dogs like whatever the thing is
286
where I'm not thinking about business where I'm not you know just pulling my laptop onto the couch
287
and replying to things when I could just be connecting with my partner
288
and mentally it allows me to actually you know it's almost like a meditation
289
but it's not a meditation like I'm not following a guided meditation
290
but I'm just lying on the ground with my eyes closed, thinking every thought that I need to think about the day.
291
And the beautiful thing is I'm challenging myself that I can't action any of those thoughts.
292
I just need to sit in them.
293
Whether they're good thoughts, whether it's a crash out, whether it's something that I need to do tomorrow, it just allows me to have a little bit of spaciousness without any distractions.
294
And in turn, it makes me more regulated, more calm, and way more productive because I get that time to kind of relax,
295
shift into home mode, and then the next day shift back into work mode and the cycle repeats.
296
So I encourage all of my clients, especially my business clients, that they need to be doing 10 minutes of silence
297
because business is fucking stressful and hard
298
and we need to be taking care of ourselves and regulating ourselves through the process too.
299
Yeah, I love that.
300
I was going to quickly say something that I do actually every Sunday
301
and then I do every day is like on a Sunday
302
in terms of organization to like really feel like I'm setting my day
303
and my week up for success is I will look I
304
have a physical week to a page diary I've gotten one every year for like the last eight years
305
and I will write on a Sunday
306
or look like the week ahead what have I got coming
307
up are we recording the potty are we doing this are we doing
308
that I put in when I'm going to train I actually put in
309
when I'm going to walk and then I put in anything else that's there
310
and I think just like that uh attention like making sure
311
that my attention is getting put towards like what's actually coming up
312
so I can like plan ahead
313
and then it's also allowing me to fit things in in the most efficient way
314
and just get everything done so I think just like having some organization
315
and not just like waking up
316
and being like what's on today it's like no I know what's on
317
and I know what I'm doing when
318
and it's just kind of like all about just getting it done now
319
and it's like less thought process in the moment
320
because it's already predetermined especially when it comes to exercise
321
and then the other thing I do from an organization point
322
of view is I use like daily to -do lists in my iPhone
323
so let's just say in my iPhone I've got like post a package
324
or like let's just say do your tax return whatever I
325
will put it as a reminder that's a tickable thing
326
because I just get the satisfaction and dopamine hit of a tick
327
and then I just have it in my calendar on the day
328
and then if I don't do it
329
that day I move it to the next day yeah
330
and this system goes until Friday and everything gets done by Friday
331
and I really think that that works well and
332
if it's a really busy day I won't put any additional
333
task songs I know I'm not going to get it done
334
but I've just found that like you've got your set things
335
that I've said on a Sunday to do plus you've got these random things
336
that pop up how do I make sure they all get done
337
so I really love that there's actually a technique that I saw
338
that people use with sticky notes that I've thought about trying
339
if anyone's interested in this there's a really cool for anyone
340
who's like a physical person who doesn't want to use their
341
iPhone there's a technique where you have your sticky notes there's
342
a couple different colors four different colors let's just say
343
and each week is a different color so you start week one
344
and you put like the to -do list things on
345
that week and you put them on the wall
346
and then the next week you've got a next color
347
and every time you do a task you have one of those spiky things
348
and you like put it on there so you get
349
that physical satisfaction like a tick of like I've done
350
that task but the cool visual thing of this is then you start to see
351
what have you not done from week one yeah
352
if like pink's on an orange week now we're at blue weeks four weeks down the track
353
and we still haven't even gotten that
354
and it can help you um get like those tasks
355
that you know when we do things
356
and we're like oh it only took 15 minutes
357
but i've been putting it off for four months we don't want to do
358
that so this can be a really cool tool and i thought
359
when i heard um someone tell me about
360
that i was like i want to try
361
that that's me with zero yeah don't reconciliation reconciliation reconciliation part of being an adult
362
that we love part of running a business reconciling and tax
363
that is me like
364
that pink sticky note would be like tax four years ago
365
eight months down the track like i just it's just time consuming
366

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
