hello you guys and welcome to another
episode of a better you I am your host
Fernando amirz and welcome back to
another Wednesday's episode I'm glad to
have you here in today's episode we are
talking all about exiting our Lazy Girl
era and entering a new season of Our
Lives Q4 some may say for me this is my
Pilates princess winter ballet peaceful
era and you may be asking what does that
mean for Fernanda and I'm going to tell
you okay I'm going to tell you in this
episode what I mean by that but it's a
new time okay I have decided that
Fernanda it is enough it is enough with
your procrastination your literally just
getting by your I don't even know how to
say it just laziness being honest okay
before we start the plan on how we're
going to glow up this next season before
the new year hits I'm going to give you
guys a little bit of a backstory on why
this topic even came to my mind this
whole year like 2023 I have been
focusing a lot on having experiences and
having fun in my life and trying new
things but lately I have been feeling
like I'm just not doing enough like I'm
just getting by and basically I've just
been living life on fun mode that is all
fun and games that's great I'm glad that
I'm having a good time I'm glad that I'm
experiencing things but I've realized
that I have let go of a lot of the
really good habits that got me to where
I am today if I'm being honest doing all
this fun stuff isn't what got me to the
place where I could make being a
YouTuber my job a place where I could
move out on my own a place where I was
financially free from my family or
whatever what got me to that place was
having that self-belief being productive
daily doing things that was going to
help my future self working out very
consistently doing yoga very
consistently being in my spiritual era
doing a lot of meditation doing a lot of
journaling I feel like when you reach
your goal sometimes it can be very easy
to you know get a little bit cocky even
maybe say like oh I don't need to be
doing that stuff anymore cuz like I got
to where I want to be and although that
may be fun in games for a few months it
gets to a point where you're like okay I
need to check myself and I need to get
my together because like why has my
apartment been messy for weeks on end
why have I just absolutely stopped doing
yoga why have I absolutely stopped
working out why have I absolutely fried
my dopamine receptors and whenever I try
to do work I am just distracted I'm
constantly looking for stimulation on my
phone I'm just waiting for the weekend
I'm just waiting to see friends you know
what I mean now you may be experiencing
something similar midterms just happened
if you're in school maybe you feel
relaxed that midterms are done so you
want to take a break but this is
actually the time to push and get ahead
before your finals come along or maybe
you're thinking back on your goals this
year and you're like oh I totally just
gave up on some of my goals but we're
just going to wait until the new year or
maybe it's just that we're going into
the change of season and having the Sun
set at like freaking 5:00 p.m. is
bringing you down and you feel like
you're just getting into mushy cozy
eating hot soup at 600 p.m. work is done
era I don't really know what I'm trying
to say there but I mean I just feel like
there's a lot of reasons for why this
time of year could be a time where
things aren't exactly going as you want
them to go and so in today's episode
we're going to talk about recognizing
The Faults we are currently having in
our lives recognizing our bad habits and
I'm going to give you guys the plan for
what I am going to do in my real life to
get my together to get back on
track and to own these next 2 months
before we go into 2024 because I do not
want to be going into the new year
thinking let's look back at my year and
then being like what did I do like I I I
do not want to live with that I'm going
to give you guys the plan on how I am
going to get my life back on track and
I'm also going to give you guys some
tips on how you can make your morning
routine better your night routine better
your day more productive just
productivity tips I asked you guys on
Instagram to give me your best tips and
so I'm going to give you those I also
looked up online some proven hacks that
are actually going to help you guys be
more productive for the next two months
I'm really going to have to put in my
extra efforts to make these months count
especially when it is winter and y'all
know the seasonal depression it's that
time so we have to take the preventative
measures to feel excited and feel like
we're not just going to be swindled by
the weather because how pathetic is that
I have my computer here beside me and
we're going to talk about what it says
the first thing that I suggest you to do
if you're feeling like this is to pull
out a journal okay maybe this is a piece
of paper maybe this is your notes app or
maybe this is Google Docs okay and what
I wrote for myself is what's happening
right now and why is it happening what I
had said for myself was that I am being
lazy I am being unproductive I have been
going to sleep late I have been waking
up late I not been working out that much
I have not been drinking that much water
I have not been reading I have not been
spiritual and honestly after saying that
out loud you might be thinking for n
than what have you been doing honestly
good question I have been planning
birthdays and
traveling it's crickets out here okay
anyways then the next page you're going
to write why is this happening like
really be vulnerable with yourself be
honest with yourself and hold yourself
accountable and say what is the reason
for this I think the first step to
taking control over your life is just
realizing from what you're starting on
it is taking a detailed honest look at
your life as how it is right now because
I don't know about you guys but it's
hard for me to actually make change or
to actually feel inspired to take on new
habits when I don't realize the reason
for what I'm doing it for if that makes
sense so when I look at my life and I
say oh my God this is actually bad like
I haven't been doing my good habits and
like it can seep into other parts of my
life then that makes me be like oh my
gosh I actually need to make change here
so if this is you you're going to make
that list of everything that's going on
for you in all the areas of your life
your job your friends your romantic
relationships your family members your
classes your hobbies maybe if you do
volunteer work etc you're going to look
at all those aspects of your life and
say what isn't working for you or what
you want to change now after I have my
list on what's happening right now as I
said I wrote a list on why is this
happening I had wrote down that I have
been having too many plans and traveling
so really I had no routine I have not
been practicing saying no when people
ask me to do things I have been a yes
girl which is very fun when you know you
want to stir the pot a little bit you
want some excitement in your life life
you want some new experiences that's fun
but sometimes sometimes we got to re it
back in a little bit my second reason
for why this is happening is because I
have been a phone grumblin I literally
wrote that down I have been a phone
grumblin by that I mean I have just been
on my phone way too much recently I
think my screen time has gone up I don't
even want to tell you how long but like
buy a significant amount and so
obviously when you're on your phone a
lot you're scrolling you're not even
creating content you're just scrolling
you just have an influx of information
that like are you really going to use
and also I feel like it's just really
easy to get comfortable and see other
people live their lives but we have to
turn that off put it away and live it
for ourselves so that's my second reason
for why this is happening and my third
one was that the weather is changing and
of course also just because I have been
procrastinating it I mean that's the
whole topic of this episode but you know
I have just been too comfortable in my
procrastination era pushing things off
thinking that there's no consequences
when in reality the biggest consequ
quence of all is that I'm just not
living up to my Highest Potential which
is shameful also one note that I want to
put in there is that I used to make a
lot of content on how to be that girl
and I literally was that girl let me
this is just a side little tip here but
if you want to become that girl you
literally have to pretend that you're
filming a little YouTube video and you
can write down a little little list and
say what would that girl do and then do
all the things that that girl does and
do those weekly daily and then soon
enough you become that girl because
you're doing all the habit of that girl
now that is I feel like who I was for a
very long time and that's what my
content was about and I feel like
recently especially since starting the
podcast I have been talking more about
like reflection and life
experiences and confidence being social
and making friends and so I feel like
I've switched out of that era to one
that is more social talking to people
having experiences traveling like that
has been what my content has been I
think a little bit for the past few
months that is why I'm saying I've
definitely become that confident social
extroverted person as I always was but I
feel like there has been an emphasis on
that and I've lost that sense of that
girl that was once me so I just want to
regain that so once you realize your bad
habits you realize your faults you
realize what you don't want in your life
I think before we start making way for
new goals and start expanding and
thinking about what's next what's New
the thing that I need to do is just
clean up my space because I feel like I
can't even think straight so what I
wrote down for myself for me to do and
I'm actually going to do this today is
to one clean my whole apartment deep
clean I know we all do a little spring
cleaning but there probably is another
one called fall cleaning but I need to
get into that fall cleaning mentality
okay by this I mean getting rid of all
the junk that I do not need extra makeup
extra products extra clothes maybe you
can put your summer clothes away and
make room for your winter clothes maybe
get rid of shoes that you don't need
anymore maybe just clean up all the
debris around your room or around your
apartment really just have a deep clean
because I've said this before but I
don't I'm not diagnosed with ADHD but I
feel like I have a lot of ADHD
Tendencies and one of them is that I
leave piles of things everywhere and
it's so messy but if someone asks me
where something is I know exactly where
in that mess it is and a really bad
habit of mine is that even if it's messy
in my head I don't think it's messy
because I know where everything is and I
need to get out of that habit I just
need to get into that clean girl
mentality were like no your clothes
doesn't need to be in your kitchen floor
so I want to get into my clean girl ARA
where I'm intentional about where I put
my things after I use them and to stop
leaving them out after I do so I'm going
to clean my whole apartment and I'm
going to get back into lighting candles
and incense because I used to do that
all the time and it really set the tone
a fresh start a fresh beginning a new
day I still use a lot of diffusers and
it would make my apartment smells so
good you have to be a little bit careful
with that because I don't think that
perfumes and fragrance are actually that
like great for your body or probably
your hormones but it did make me happy
and it felt like whenever I would light
a candle at the end of cleaning my room
it was like okay we're ready we're ready
to think we're ready to make room and
people always say your environment
really dictates how productive you are
how your mental health is and just how
much you can get done in a day because
whenever things around me are super
messy and super cluttered I feel like I
can't even walk straight so that is the
first thing for me one more note that I
want to put in here is that now that
it's winter I feel like we have to be
extra intentional with turning on the
warm Lighting in our apartments or our
rooms or our houses putting on those
fairy lights you know getting a lot of
sunlight like we have to use our
resources to make the vibe right because
unless you have Sun pouring into your
apartment or room or whatever every
single day over here where I live it
will be gray outside and it's really
depressing when you don't Embrace that
gloomy weather and make it all warm and
cozy and you just have like zero lights
turned on and it's literally just
straight Gloom pouring into your
apartment it's not a Vibe and it really
does rub off on your vibrations I think
so be cautious of that maybe if you want
to go buy some warm lighting or maybe
some reading lights or I'm probably
going to make an episode on seasonal
depression but like one of those happy
lights that are like super bright I
don't know how effective they are but I
would use that last year all the time to
literally do my makeup and it was very
helpful okay so now we have our
apartment we have our room we have our
house we have our brains clear cleared
off we have no more debris we have no
more fogginess we have no more
distraction the next thing we're going
to do is to gather inspiration and
excitement for this new era something
that I've talked about a few times is
the fact that last winter I really got
into the mindset of like trying to be
the Pilates princess and if you're a
little bit lost on what this means it's
basically just this random like
aesthetic I guess that's pretty viral
right now it's a little bit different
than that girl because that girl I feel
like was the green juice going on runs
being in nature I feel like it's a very
summer era but the winter princess
Pilates is like being super cozy
layering up different little active wear
pieces the Pilates princess prioritizes
self-care she's doing face masks she's
taking baths she's reading she loves
ballet she loves Pilates she just wears
a lot of white and pink I feel like
getting into the mentality of that
aesthetic made me really excited last
year during this time because I was like
okay I'm going to get all my pink active
wear I'm going to walk in the snow and
rather than hating it and being like uh
this is so annoying I was embracing it
because I felt like it matched the
aesthetic and I know that is so stupid
maybe for somebody that's like doesn't I
don't know has never thought about it
that way I feel like it sounds silly but
I just want you to try it because really
it does make you romanticize the season
and be excited and like want to be the
best version of yourself when you have
like an ideal version in your mind now
having that said it doesn't have to be
the Pilates princess that gets you
excited you can literally make out a
little drawing of yourself and write
down what does my highest version of
myself do what is this person
do daily what does she eat what does she
listen to what time does she go to bed
at what time does she wake up at Etc
you're creating your ultimate version of
yourself and when you have that goal in
mind it will be so easy to follow your
good habits or to want to be better
because you have something in mind that
you want to be like or that you want to
replicate so in order to gather
inspiration and excitement if I were you
I would go on Pinterest and start
pinning a bunch of photos that remind
you of who you want to be maybe this is
like photos of fridges with all fully
stacked food maybe this is like some
girls doing self-care or some girls
reading whatever it is just gather
excitement for the new season I think we
forget that our hormones and our bodies
and just us as humans operate
differently during different seasons of
the year I'm a different person going
into the spring versus going into the
winter like I just am ready for cozy
season so we have to put special
attention to readjust our routines and
readjust our mindsets for this time one
thing that I highly recommend is if in
your Journal you start setting some
goals for the next 2 months you can
define specific achievable daily goals
that align with your long-term
objectives so for example if your goal
is to finish your final semester with a
certain percentage in that grade or you
want to get certain marks on your final
exams rather than having in your goals
page I want to get this Mark by the end
of the year maybe you can switch that
goal to I want to study for 1 hour every
single day leading up to that date date
say you want to lose a certain amount of
weight by January 1st instead of having
your goal be that end weight goal maybe
you can say to yourself I'm going to
work out four times a week with like
four times cardio hopefully that makes
sense but I think writing down those
specific achievable daily goals will
help you get to that long-term goal and
also if I'm being honest the times where
I achieve the most goals is usually when
I write them down and I know you may be
thinking oh well I have all my goals in
my head no writing them down actually
makes all the difference because if you
write down your goal and you write a
little circle beside it or a little
square you are actually able to go in
and check it off when that goal is
achieved which gives you a little
incentive and gets you excited to fill
out that page with all your check marks
back when I was just starting my YouTube
channel I had a page where I would
scribble off these little boxes every
time I would hit 500 more subscribers
and I just feel like the numbers would
amount so much faster when I had that
goal in mind it felt like such an
accomplishment and it was fun to do the
other thing I want to say about goals is
that I truly understand what people mean
by whatever you place your attention on
grows when in my mind I am posting
YouTube videos and all I'm thinking
about is YouTube I can feel the rewards
coming in I have views coming in I am
inspired I have new video ideas I have
opportunities coming my way versus when
I focused on my podcast and I was
reaping the rewards so quickly the same
way that when I'm traveling and I'm
focusing on networking and opportunities
I can just feel opportunities coming my
way so whatever you place your attention
on grows you just have to be intentional
with what that is usually when I goal
set I pick out only a few goals for each
month for example sometimes what I'll do
especially as a content creator and I
want to grow my socials is I'll look at
the last month and say like how much I
grew in the last 30 days and say it was
10K I will say okay for this month I
want to grow 11k that way it is actually
realistic and then I'll plan like okay
I'm going to post twice a day for this
many days in order to gain this amount
of subscribers or followers or whatever
so that's how I so that's how I plan my
goals in terms of followers and content
creation if you need some goal ideas for
the next 69 days or 68 days I think
that's how many days there are until
2024 which is psychotic some of my goals
are to one read one book so I think an
actionable step for that would be like
reading a few chapters every night
realistically I feel like you could
definitely read more than one book in
that time but you know we're being real
here since I haven't read in so long
another goal of mine would be to drink
one Stanley Cup of water every day
another one is to get back into yoga and
meditation so maybe I can be a little
bit more specific saying I want to do a
10-minute meditation five times a week
and yoga five times a week as well my
other one was to get back into working
out which is super vague so maybe a more
specific one could be weight training
three times a week and doing cardio
three times a week my next one is to go
to bed early I want to make it a habit
to be in bed by 11:00 p.m. and then
waking up early maybe around 8:00 a.m. I
feel like especially in the winter time
when the Sun goes down at like 5:00 p.m.
you really want to wake up when that sun
comes out so that you make the most out
of the day and you don't get left
wondering where the day just went
another one for me which maybe doesn't
apply to everyone but I feel like I've
been having a lot of birthdays and
celebrations and traveling and so I
don't want to really go out or party or
drink unless it's for a birthday so like
after Halloween which is this weekend we
are done doing that for a while and the
last goal that I want to tell you guys
about which I'm actually really excited
about but because I'm talking about
going into my Pilates princess era I
really want to sign up for ballet which
is a little bit of a crazy goal here but
I saw last year this girl that lives in
Vancouver she's a little bit older than
I am and she signed up for like adult
ballet classes and at first I was like
oh I wonder how that would be but then I
was like you know what I want to
actually try that that seems really fun
and cool and sometimes I feel like as a
YouTuber as a content creator or anybody
that is in the similar position that I
am you might join a hobby or do do
something cuz you think that it'd be
really great for content and you want to
even look good doing it but I feel like
if I was to join ballet I wouldn't even
want to film it that much at first or
like do anything with content creation
it would just be something that is fun
for me and something that is new and
something that I can get better at so I
really want to make it a goal for myself
maybe I'll sign up sometime this week to
sign up for adult ballet classes and do
that until the end of the year I feel
like that's super fun especially with
the whole Nutcracker season like I want
to buy all the cute little leg warmers
and little ballet slippers and the
little Shaws I think that's what they're
called or the wrap-ups anyways I feel
like that could be fun and something
that can get me super excited and
motivated for this season and will make
me romanticize the winter and the fall I
feel like often times we forget to place
an emphasis on hobbies and hobbies are
so important because it's something that
you're not obligated to do but it's
something that you find joy in and it
kind of reignites that spark inside of
your inner child and I feel like when
you get caught up in working or studying
you just forget about Hobbies but even
if it's only 1 hour a week it could be
such a small amount of time that you're
spending on something that truly brings
you Joy and it can make the rest of your
work week so exciting and you can of re
get inspired when you're really busy you
may be thinking to yourself oh I can't
even waste one hour I can't even waste
two hours but instead you waste so many
hours trying to do work while you feel
uninspired and longing to do something
else so you might as well allocate those
times and those hours to doing the fun
thing so that your work feels seamless
and that you can just get into Flow
State a lot faster if you guys want to
sign up for a new hobby or just try out
a new skill or something that you can
actually improve on this season then we
can do that together and we can update
each other on how it's going I hope that
someone else joins ballet like I feel
like it would be so fun and I actually
did ballet when I was younger until I
was like 5 years old so I feel like it
could be fun who knows I might be so bad
at it and hate it but we won't know
until we try so anyways be specific
specific be ambitious I think ambitious
is such an attractive quality it is a
great quality to have and sometimes we
forget about ambition I don't I don't
know if that's kind of stupid maybe you
don't forget about it but whenever I
have that word in my mind I'm like oh
yeah ambitious I want to be more
ambitious so I'm sparking it in your
brain make that the word of the month
the word of the week and everything that
you do think of yourself as an ambitious
person and not even like I'm doing
something ambitious rewire it into your
brain as I am an ambitious person make
that an affirmation that you say to
yourself every morning and on that note
actually affirmations are so helpful and
I saw someone say this on a podcast or
something yesterday where when you wake
up in the morning and you don't check
your phone and the first thing you do is
you go to the bathroom and you stare at
yourself in the mirror your brain is
still like mushy maybe your subconscious
is still awake and so if you say things
to yourself in the morning like I am
loved I love myself I am ambitious I am
smart I am proactive I don't
procrastinate I achieve all my goals
with ease I am abundant and you say all
those affirmations to yourself first
thing in the morning it can really get
programmed into your brain to the point
where you don't have to say it to
yourself but it becomes second nature
that you identify with those traits back
to the original sentence be specific be
ambitious and decide exactly what the
life you want looks like because we are
going to have that by the time the year
starts now something that I wrote down
for myself but I'm going to say it to
you guys because you know you might be
able to take this with you is that after
I have all my goals set out like my
space is clean I have my goals planned
out the next thing I need to do is give
myself some time to be situated for me
this means that after Halloween this
weekend I'm going to have no plans no
plans at all I'm going to take a day to
myself to reenter maybe do a face mask
to take a bath I'm even going to cut my
hair because I have extensions in right
now and I just feel like they're getting
in the way of my productivity that
sounds so stupid but it's actually
really time consuming to do my hair and
it just feels like it's weighing down on
me so I think I'm going to cut my hair
go into this season a little bit fresh
and feeling re-inspired do my journaling
do all this on a day like do a day where
you really take time for yourself so
that you can say okay now that I'm
reentered let's move forward I went
ahead and wrote down my perfect ideal
morning routine night routine and
workday routine so I'm going to talk to
you guys quickly and just kind of skim
over it and tell you guys what I'm going
to start implementing so that I can have
more productive days if you guys want to
see me Vlog this as well I think once we
get into November I'm definitely going
to film a winter morning routine a
winter night routine and like a work
with me study with me video okay so my
perfect morning routine starts off by
having no phone for the first like hour
of the day okay that's going to be my
goal I'm going to wake up around 7:00
a.m. 8:00 a.m. and I'm going to put my
phone on the other side of the room
because I want to have to actually get
up and go reach my phone because the
times when I do that I actually wake up
way faster than when it's right by my
ear and I just silently snooze it a tip
for this is to wake up consistently
every single day because it becomes so
much easier to to wake up at that time
and also I saw somebody say that when
you're making a morning routine make the
first hour of it fun make it something
that you want to get up for because
sometimes I have work planned out the
minute I open my eyes like I'll open my
eyes and run to my desk cuz I forgot to
hand something in and that doesn't make
you very motivated in fact that makes me
want to stay in bed and never get up so
if you make the first bit of your day
something fun like getting your coffee
or going on a walk then you'll actually
be more inclined to waking up I'm going
to wake up and then I'm going to pull
out my journal I'm going to write the
things that I'm grateful for that
morning I'm going to revisit my to-do
list that I wrote the night before and
I'm going to write out some affirmations
then I'm going to play music I enjoy I
know that over stimulation isn't ideal
and that we should be okay with being in
silence but when I'm just trying to get
out of my procrastination slump we're
going to try to do every little thing
that I know is going to make me more
excited and happy okay so if that means
playing some Spanish music or playing
some loud electronic music or playing
some pop sounds or playing some indie
rock like whatever it is first thing in
the morning as my soundtrack for the
rest of my morning routine that's what
I'm going to do so I'm going to play
some music then I'm going to go to the
bathroom this is what I do every morning
I always wash my face do my skin care I
just feel so much more prepared for the
day I make sure to add my SPF and then
I'm going to go to the kitchen drink my
water a big glass I'm going to have my
vitamins because those make me feel
better and being taken care of on the
inside will make everything better on
the outside and also side note with that
if you're trying to revamp yourself and
get productive I would highly recommend
getting your blood taken just going to
the doctors in general because for all
you know you may be like iron deficient
or just have deficiencies in general
which will overall make an impact on how
productive you are and your day-to-day
life because you might not even be
feeling your best and it might not even
be your fault it might be that you just
don't even have enough iron in you for
example the next thing I love to do is
to ice my face so that I start to depuff
and I also make myself some green tea
which is great for waking yourself up
because it's caffeinated but but not too
intensely you can also make yourself a
coffee or a matcha just a morning drink
the next thing is to open the window and
look in the Sun and actually get some
sunlight I think that is one of the
biggest tips that like uh what's his
name huberman like all the health and
wellness podcasts tell you to do sun is
so important for yourself and especially
in the winter time I mean I will
definitely be taking some vitamin D this
season but I know that when those days
have some sun I better get my face in
there and get some sunlight because that
is proven to make you Happ happier it is
proven to regulate your circadian rhythm
and to say hello it's morning time to do
work the other thing I want to talk
about is the fact that if you are a
little dopamine Gremlin sometimes and
you're searching for quick ways to get
dopamine like scrolling or eating junk
food or having sugar or just doing
things that require instant
gratification we need to rewire our
brains into doing things that produce
dopamine naturally so this is like
achieving those tasks so I saw someone
say online that if you wake up in the
morning and you do those dopamine
inducing tasks first thing that don't
involve your phone it kind of sets the
tone for the day so for me this may be
cleaning up my kitchen a little bit or
doing my bed just do one little task it
doesn't even have to be longer than 10
minutes just something to say oh my gosh
I already did something and it's only 30
minutes after I woke up then the last
two things that I want to do in my
morning routine is to get dressed maybe
put some active wear on and do a little
10-minute meditation a while ago
probably last year this time I got
really into medit ation and I was
getting good at it too like I was not
even doing a guided meditation I was
doing meditation with frequency music
and I was starting to like I think I was
levitating like lowkey my fingers were
starting to get tingly like I was
looking into my pineal gland which like
if you're spiritual or like you know
about the brain you know what I mean
like I was starting
to see color with my eyes closed so I
need to get back into that now after all
that that is all my no Phone activities
I'm going to get my phone okay this is
maybe at like 9:00 a.m. when the workday
starts and I'm going to answer any text
any emails or any I need to hand in
regarding work this shouldn't take too
long then right after that I'm going to
work out okay I've already gotten
dressed I've already done my morning
routine it's time to get those morning
endorphins I don't know about you guys
but I need to work out in the day
because otherwise if it doesn't happen
like first thing it's just not happening
if this for you means that you want to
go to Pilates and be a pink Pilates
princess if it means you're going
weightlifting or walking or whatever it
is do the workout that makes you feel
excited exed and you feel productive
also doing exercise literally is proven
to make you more productive because you
already like release serotonin and you
just have the ball rolling so if we're
talking about productivity we have to
talk about working out and then after
that I can just check my to-do list and
go on with my day usually I eat my
breakfast at around 12:00 but definitely
having a nutritious breakfast and lunch
and dinner is going to also help you be
more productive and also if you have
time like on a Sunday to do some meal
prep for the rest of the week you'll be
so much more likely to actually eat eat
healthy and stay on top of it during the
week because you already have food made
now this is the morning routine that I
have as someone who is like a podcaster
YouTuber self-employed whatever if you
have a 9 to-5 you can adjust this
however you want you can maybe wake up
at 7 wake up at 8: and maybe only do
three of these things you know
everyone's routine is going to look a
little bit different and sometimes I see
people make a longwinded morning routine
and the comments are going to be like uh
this isn't realistic for anybody like I
wake up 10 minutes before I start I Wake
Up 4 before I start it's not a
competition for how little someone does
or how much someone does just do
whatever is going to make you more
productive and you can't lie to yourself
if you say that someone's hour morning
routine is unrealistic but you wake up
10 minutes before your morning you must
know deep down that that's probably not
the most productive you can have or the
most that you can do with who you are I
think we all have a little bit more in
us and more discipline than we think we
do and one last tip I have is that when
you eat your breakfast try to avoid
carbs because they make you feel tired
now I don't mean avoid carbs in general
or even for lunch or for dinner or
before a big run or something but this
is just what I've heard when you are
trying to be more productive having
carbs first thing in the morning or a
sugary breakfast is just going to make
you feel tired we don't want to I think
it's called like Spike or insulin this
could be so wrong but like having sugar
first thing in the morning speaking of
the middle of the day this is the work
chunk this could be you working your 9
to 5 this could be you going to school
this could be you having a study day at
a cafe or this could be me I do a lot of
like admin work or editing these are
work tips to help you be more productive
these are also ones that really help me
so the first one is going to coffee
shops and doing the tasks with someone
else or body doubling as I said earlier
I'm not like diagnosed with ADHD by any
means but I feel like I have so many
Tendencies of somebody with ADHD that I
almost might have it and one of the
things that is a tip for people with
ADHD is to do body doubling which it
says here online body doubling is a tool
some adults use to help them start and
complete projects sometimes referred to
as an accountability partner it is a
technique for better productivity a body
Devil is a friend or partner who works
simultaneously either in the same room
or virtually through video chat
platforms whether you have ADHD or you
don't I feel like this is a helpful tip
for whoever especially if you get
distracted easily and you know now
looking back I never realized that this
is actually something that I grew up
doing with my dad which is maybe why I
crave to do it but like when I was
younger in Middle School in elementary
school literally high school for every
single year whenever I would do my
homework I would sit beside my dad
because he works from home and we would
do our work beside each other and it
made me so much more productive because
I felt like somebody was watching me and
I couldn't just slack off and be on my
phone because he would keep me
accountable and say Fernando what the
hell are you doing so if you have a
friend to do this with it is so helpful
but even if you don't have a friend and
you just go to a coffee shop and there's
other people there working sometimes I
like you know okay this might be like a
little main character syndrome but I'm
like oh my God everyone's looking at me
like I can't be just on my phone I can't
be slacking off I got to make make sure
people know that I'm doing my work so
like that genuinely helps me also
working at coffee shops in general just
gets you out of your home environment
which I feel like can sometimes have a
lot of distractions for me sometimes I
get up from my desk I go lay down I go
get some food I go I don't know play VR
that's literally what I did yesterday um
versus when I'm at a coffee shop I'm
like girl I am sat there's nowhere for
me to go so going to coffee shops can be
very helpful or maybe study study groups
or like maybe your school has a little
workroom or a library wherever it is
also please do not knock this until you
try it my mom does some like work from
home sometimes and she was saying how it
was super distracting to be at home and
I told her I'm like Mom go to a cafe and
she's like you know what I think I am
going to start doing this because it's
really distracting being at home so even
if you're older than me just try it it's
actually so helpful and you get to have
a little treat which is my next little
tip and it is to have positive
reinforcement sometimes when I go to
coffee shops I tell myself okay I got
here I opened my book I'm not going to
order a drink until it's been 2 hours of
me working so then I work really hard
for those 2 hours because I'm so excited
for my drink another way to do this is
using leisure activities such as social
media and entertainment as a reward
after completing your tasks so maybe you
do work for an hour and then you get to
scroll on your phone for like 10 15
minutes another productivity tip for
working is to prioritize your tasks a
lot of times I have a tendency of doing
all my easiest tasks first because I
think that that's more fun but I think
that there is an actual habit it's
called like bite the frog or something I
could be saying that wrong or eat the
Frog and it means to do your hardest
work first identify the most important
tasks and prioritize those I saw a
method online it's called The icenhower
Matrix and I'm going to explain to you
what that is this is going to be so
confusing but you categorize tasks into
urgent important not urgent important
urgent not important and not urgent not
important I hope that made sense I'm
definitely going to do that task the
next time I do my work the other thing
you can do is make a to-do list which I
always do when I first sit down at my
desk then that way you can keep track of
everything that needs to get done and
break tasks into manageable steps
another tip for being more productive
when you're actually working is to work
in a clean environment and to also get
rid and eliminate distractions if you
know what hinders you when you do your
work like maybe it's all the pens that
you have on your desk or maybe it's your
phone or you're in a very loud
environment if you can identify those
things that put you behind try to
eliminate those at first before you even
start doing your work and just staying
in a clutter-free environment so that
you can stay focused and actually get
your work done another two tips that are
obvious but I feel like they're
important to know when we talk about
productivity the first one is to take
breaks to prevent burnout for me
sometimes I'll go on my computer and
I'll search up like a 1 hour timer or
something or 25 minute timer and I just
get so much more work done when I'm
under pressure like that and then when
that timer goes up I'll have a little
break maybe to eat some snacks or to I
don't know maybe draw a little bit it
makes me work for so much longer and
especially when I'm at a cafe and I'm
with a friend usually these breaks will
be like little socializing talking
breaks which really gets me excited to
stay working and it makes me work for so
much longer another tip that I found
online here is to use the 2-minute rule
if a task takes less than 2 minutes to
complete do it immediately this prevents
small task from piling up I feel like
this is especially good for people that
tend to procrastinate because sometimes
things that are really easy I can build
a wall up in my head and think that it's
the hardest task ever like literally
replying to a text and will avoid it and
avoid it and avoid it and avoid it until
I feel like it's just unmanageable when
realistically it would probably take
less than 2 minutes and I should
probably just get it done another tip
that revolves around your workspace is
to create a positive workspace this is
one that has warm lighting maybe you
have water surrounding you like you have
all your drinks around you you're
comfortable just make it a place that
you can actually romanticize maybe even
play some background music I love
playing like frequency or focus music I
feel like that really gets me in the
zone and another tip regarding
minimizing distractions is to physically
block off apps from your phone if that's
what you need to do to stop scrolling
and stop just wasting time and also
turning your phone onto sleep mode or
work mode then nobody can text you and
also just turning off your notifications
I honestly don't have like any
notifications on my phone and I feel
like that really makes me feel less
distracted and the last tip that I have
regarding work is to create deadlines
for yourself now obviously obviously
obviously this is a given you know your
teachers your work people your boss give
you deadlines but sometimes it's even
helpful to make deadlines for yourself
to keep yourself accountable for example
when I started my podcast I remember it
being like March 1st and I made a
deadline to myself I am going to post my
podcast on March 20th and I even posted
it online for all my followers to see so
that they would have to keep me
accountable if I didn't post on March
20th and if I hadn't done that I
probably wouldn't have even gotten my
podcast out on time let alone gotten it
up so I feel like that was really
helpful for me those were all my tips
for actually getting my work and being
more productive while I I do that and
then the last thing I want to talk about
is my perfect night routine for
productivity after I do all my work in
the day hopefully I'm done with that and
that doesn't just mean lay on your couch
and you know do nothing for the rest of
the night until you have to roll into
bed and your bed's not made like that's
not the vibe either my perfect night
routine is going to be one where I stop
eating around 9:00 p.m. you know no more
little late night snacking I maybe take
some magnesium which helps you relax and
go to bed faster I put my pjs on I do
all my bathroom stuff like taking out my
contacts washing my face doing my
skincare and then I make a to-do list
before bed for the following day I used
to do this all the time and it was
honestly so helpful for me so I really
need to get back into it because
whenever I go into a day not knowing
what I'm doing that day I feel like I
waste so much time and I'm really my
least productive version of myself like
I don't even know what I'm doing I'm
walking around like a zombie I turn into
that ADHD paralysis mode where you don't
know what to do so you do nothing and
you just waste like hours on end in
order to avoid that I am going to make
my to-do list before I go to bed and
then maybe do some last little
journaling and and then just going to
bed at like 11:00 p.m. putting some
frequency music closing my eyes and
saying good night world I'm waking up in
8 hours so yeah that's my perfect night
routine the last two things that I
wanted to speak on were recommendations
for my followers so I want to just say
those quickly for productivity the first
tip is to hang out with people that have
a similar mindset or similar goals as
you this way you guys can Inspire each
other and it's actually so easy to get
what you want to do done you guys will
want to do the same things do the same
Hobbies you guys will talk about the
same things maybe you'll be reading the
same things listening to the same
podcasts Etc this really helped me this
year making a friend that lived really
close to me because we would go to the
gym and we would work together all the
time the other tip that so many of my
viewers gave to me which uh is an
obvious one but I don't even want to say
I don't even want to accept it but it's
just to say no to more plans it is so
important to practice saying no to plans
that don't align with your goals and
values and you just need to be able to
politely decline additional commitments
that might overload your schedule as
said I have a habit of saying yes to
everything I love being social I love
going out I love partying and seeing my
friends but it all has a time and there
are sometimes where you have to lock in
and be productive and just get your
done I I remember a friend of mine
always posting on his socials that he
was going into monk mode and this is
giving entrepreneur uh people that are
like so intense about work probably a
little bit different than like a
YouTuber girly pop that's like posting
here and there her whole life on social
media but he was saying that like he
would go from periods where he was
social he was partying he was going out
staying up late being fun making those
memories and then switching off and
going into monk mode which for him was
like a mode where he's working for 10
hours a day he is not drinking alcohol
he's not partying he's not seeing
friends and he just grinds for like a
month and that one month sets him
forward like five months and then all
the rest of the months after that he can
just have fun be with his friends do
whatever but you have to sit down for
that month and just really grind and I
feel like I I know that this is true in
the sense that when I started my YouTube
channel for that first year that I
started it was during the pandemic that
could have been considered My Grind Mode
like all I was doing was editing posting
videos filming editing posting videos
and then I got to reap the rewards of
that the following year when Co stopped
and I got to travel and I got to do all
this fun stuff and I think I've been
taking advantage of that fun time and
continuously doing that and just having
way too much fun when it's like f let's
go back to monk mode okay so take that
as you will another way that I like to
say this is going into my uh mini cut
Seasons which if you know people that do
bodybuilding they'll go into like a cut
season they like intensely diet
intensely work out intensely do cardio
that is unrealistic for me 9 months out
of the Year 10 months out of the year
but two weeks before I go on a trip I
might go into a mini cut season and I'll
start eating really healthy I'll work
out I'll do my cardio I'll prioritize my
health and then I feel great when I'm on
vacation if right now is a working
period for you guys that is okay it is
important we need these times to enjoy
and reap the rewards so I'm telling you
this now guys if you want to start the
75 hard if you don't know what that is
that's like a little challenge where you
like do all these healthy habits and it
takes 75 days you can search it up
online I've honestly never done it so I
don't know it to its fullest extent but
if you start the 75 hard now you'll be
done by like January 3rd or something
whatever 5ifth I don't even know let's
all together I'm saying this me and you
because I got to get my together
too let's go into monk mode for November
okay and then we can reap the rewards
when Christmas time comes around or
maybe when your finals are done or when
you go on season break let's just do our
hardest to work hard now really set
ourselves up for success and to stop
Coast riding on laziness like that's
truly what it is and we do not want to
become complacent we do not want to get
comfortable being the version of
ourselves that just is getting by we do
not want to be the version of ourselves
that is missing deadlines is missing the
goals that they wanted to get done just
because they didn't take themselves
seriously like honestly that is
embarrassing and and I'm giving you guys
the tough love because I need the tough
love I am telling myself Fernanda enough
is enough we are turning a new leaf and
if I don't get my goals done by the end
of the year I will be so disappointed in
myself hopefully we're on the same page
let's go into our super aesthetic
Pilates princess ballet core girly pop
productive monk mode that's so funny
girly Pop Meets monk mode that's what
I'm calling this season anyways I love
you guys that is the end of today's
episode I'm speaking so fast cuz I need
to leave right now for a cycling class
that I booked myself an hour ago um I
love you guys I'll talk to you guys [Music]
[Music] later
