vlog 71. Day in My Life: Morning Routine + Law Library Research + Pasta Dinner
I've fine-tuned my morning routine, that alone has done wonders for my energy levels and efficiency. I tell you guys all the time just how uch Atomic Habits has changed my life, and I'm really living by the advice given in that book: ie to make incremental changes to my habits, and to create systems not goals. #dayinthelife #vlog #productivemorningroutine #biglaw
This current period is a very hectic one in my career, I'm drafting and drafting and drafting (even dreaming about drafting in my sleep! 😅) So on one of these days, I desperately needed to spend some time in the library gathering research by conslting the Commentary (those thick navy and maroon books) and old AD Law Reports.

Safa yi-Imposter Syndrome! Do you guys experience this too? Or am I the only one? Fortunately I have learnt to move on from bouts of Imposter Syndrome and self sabotage much quicker than I used to, it used to debilitate me and riddle me with all sorts of complicated feelings for days on end. #impostersyndrome #selfimprovement #dayinthelife But now, I am able to return back to my baseline quicke...

By now you guys know that some weeks are much busier than others when it comes to my schedule and kind of work.

Ja no, I think we can all agree that I've had quite the hectic sequence of life and career events over the last few weeks/months. It's all been quite overwhelming and I desperately needed to regroup, reset, re-center and refocus my attention and energies back onto the things that matter and remind myself to take it easy. #Reset #southafricanyoutuber #LifeReset #WorkLifeBalance And so I carved o...

Thank goodness I had a long weekend to look forward to during this hectic week because things got a tad too stressful by the end of it.

Просмотров 1,7 тыс.7 месяцев назад
My 60th vlog!! I can't think of a more apt vlog to upload than one of me moving offices and starting afresh for the first time in 5 years. There's always this internal resistance to change that washes over me whenever major changes occur in my life. I used to go into full on stress-induced panic/anxiety mode, unsure of what the future held, unsure whether or not I'd made the right decision, uns...

Просмотров 2,1 тыс.8 месяцев назад
All work and no play makes Jack (or Loyiso) and dull boy (or girl). This is certainly true for most of us in our demanding fields of work. We get so consumed by all the stressors and day to day deadlines, meetings, deliverables, invoices and everything in between, that we forget (or in certain instances, refuse) to let our hair down and live a little. And by that I do not mean the mere consumpt...

What my day looks like as an Advocate (or Barrister if you're from other countries/jurisdictions within the Commonwealth). Spoiler Alert: it's a whole lot of reading, followed by a lot of thinking about what I've read.. This is my first Work Vlog of the year, I know some of you have missed these, and some of you have enjoyed the cozy off-duty vlogs I've been uploading the last few vlogs. My goa...

I'm proud of T yours young lawyer. A candidate for LLD, PhD!! I've listened to her argue in court and if I had money need an advocate I'd ask whatever firm to find her , brief her.
Bathong i thought i recognised you i did like your arguments when you were appearing for Ms Cholota, are you still appearing for her. Well i doubt I'll get an answer but.... You are impressive, dog walking aside and all..
Inspiring ❤️
Thank you for recording your journey. I am so encouraged so say the least. I've decided to follow my dreams in my 30s. This has just reminded me that attaining them is possible for me to.

Michelle Obama once said "failure is a feeling long before it becomes an actual result", your mind prepares you for what you tell it. You are not were you are by mistake, your work has carried you and opened doors for you. That is something I too have to keep reminding myself every now and then. I love your vlogs so much <3 Thank You for sharing your journey!
Oh man! I’m writing that down somewhere coz its sooo true!!!!
Thank you for your wonderful comment Zanele🌸🙏🏾✨
I have been watching your work related vlogs and I am impressed with your professionalism. Please share your email address. I need your profile
Man! This was so insightful. I’m gonna start doing all these planning techniques. I’m just the type of person who freestyles their way through life and that hasn’t really done me any favours. Convinced myself I ‘work well under pressure’🫣 what a lie! So this is really eye-opening and so insightful and thank you for sharing!😘 * May I ask where you got the blue pen you used in your weekly schedule. 😆🫣 I’m a stationery freak, when I saw it I decided that’s the pen that’s gonna change my life!🤣🤣
Aaah I love this comment! yeah no, the "i work well under pressure" thing is so true😩. Always happy to have a fellow stationery geek, the pen is from PnA aka stationery heaven on earth🌸
❤❤❤
I haven't been getting notifications of new vlogs so I put on the notification bell. That aside, vlog 68 through 70 have been like little gems and in this one it's like a reminder of the human saboteur is indeed universal like you said. The human mind and emotions are so intricate but pulling through to the other side of imposter syndrome feels like winning a personal battle. Unnecessary but also validating.
thank you so very much🧡! you're so right, the human mind is just something else hey..
I love meal prep❤I'm new here & I enjoyed this video so much❤
Welcome Lindy!!! Glad you enjoyed the video 😋🌸
Looking cute and professional as always😍 Love, love watching you. I remember seeing you on TV for the first time! I screamed my lungs out! 🤣🤭it was like I was seeing someone I knew personally. Love your work sisi, highly appreciate these tiny(loaded with so much info)vlogs♥
Thanks Zee!!!🙏🏾🌼
Your work ethic gets me every time; your dedication and work ethic is truly awe inspiring ❤
Aah Lefenyo, really appreciate your kind words, thank you🌸
Imposter syndrome, while not fun at the time, forces us to do whatever we desire despite the fear. Thank you for sharing and a wholesome vlog as always ❤
So true, I 100% agree! It's such a tough thing to grapple with, but I'm glad this video resonated with you 🌻
Yay, great way to start a new week tomorrow ❤
Thank you so much! I hope you're having an amazing Ongz, always lovely to read your comments🧡
Beautiful vlog as always, thank you for sharing.......we love and appreciate you❤
You are so welcome! Sending love back to you too🌸💛
😂I saw the premiere and I was like after i come back from church and feed everybody I will be here! Lol am HERE 😂NOW ❤
Priorities! I love it!😄🙏🏾
Thank you Loyiso for the motivation and for always being real. I appreciate you.
Appreciate you too! Thank you for your thoughtful comment🌼
Love your content, but not been getting notifications…YT playing games 😒
YT must stop playing! you're the second person tell me this😩 thank you Thandisile!🌸
@ sorry the YT gremlins are sabotaging you…I unsubscribed and re-subscribed with notifications just to renew, as I’ve heard that helps sometimes 😅
Thanks for creating awareness around imposter syndrome; I think happens to a lot of us, more than we'd like to admit! Glad you remembered who you are afterwards, also here to remind you that you're a powerhouse, doing great things in your career. Great vlog. ❤
I am so glad you enjoyed the vlog, and I'm happy that you found the imposter syndrome segment relatable, always a work in progress dealing with difficult emotions and trying to better ourselves with each day 🙏🏾🌸
Your vulnerability? Oh we don't deserve you kodwa❤ Thank you so much. Yhoo mna I struggle with it more times than I would like to admit. I have an entry in my journal of the Tando of my dreams and wow that girl is fire, so I often go to that entry and remember my why.. I also cry😂 I'm a crier.. It helps
It's me that doesn't deserve *you guys*!! Thank you for your wonderful comment Thando, I love the journal entry thing so much!🌸💛
Thanks for sharing Loyiso. Phansi nge-imposter syndrome, phansi! I can totally relate, sometimes it comes in waves...Glad you noticed the difference between not meeting your perfectionistic standards vs actually dropping the ball because it can be hard to tell sometimes 🙏 All the best with your matter.
PHANTSI!! Thank you Sinegugu! you're so right, comes in waves and just catches you sometimes when you weren't expecting it. I'm so glad to read from the comments that I am definitely not alone in this struggle! 🌼🙏🏾💛
Oh she makes the best vlogs! 🙂↕️🫶
😊🙏🏾Thank you!!
I love love your work content 🥰🥰
I am so glad you're enjoying the work content, keep an eye out for more videos about that! 🌸
