I recently started creating a routine for myself because of all the tasks I have to complete that left me a bit overwhelmed. I usually think of myself as very good at creating my schedule, but at times of overwhelm, that can become a challenge. So, I wanted to share this with you and I how I have tried to create a routine for myself in the past weeks to make me more "grounded".

I struggle so much with time management so much that I overwhelm myself to the point of being in some sort of paralysis and things get so piled up that when I go to do something, I feel there is no end in sight. So, no… you are definitely not alone.
Same!!
I'm actually the opposite if I plan to do two things that will take 1 hour each I tend to get overwhelmed because there's so much more to do.
We love a thick bottom and a bullet journal ;)
😂❤
Hahaha :D Awww
I just got diagnosed with ADHD, and I'm learning new time management skills, too. I start my day with a written brain dump, and then I can make a more realistic list after that. It helps me so much! I hope you continue to have success with your version of realistic time management! ❤
Listening to Miro's videos while doing tasks has become a great grounding technique for me.
Thank you for making videos like this. I love plant videos with a chat about mental health. I think the correlation between this hobby and mental health is a very interesting concept!
I love the ramblings and the plantshores. I feel relaxed by the company of someone saying and doing things that resonate with me. It just feels like home ❤.
Miro, I always feel like I’m not doing enough. Watching your videos is my escape from thinking about it
Miro! Don’t you dare think that you don’t do enough! Don’t you realize how many times you lighten our day! I laugh with you every time I watch your videos. Being able to make people happier is the best gift you give to people. Not just anyone can do that! I love your down to earth videos. A LOT of people relate to you. Pat yourself on your back, sweetheart. You are so special!
Hi Miro 💫 I understand what you were talking about so well with feeling guilty for not doing something, as my Mother is the EXACT same. She does not know how to rest and says she feels guilty if she’s not constantly busy. (This stems from her childhood). But I so wish her and you and the countless amount of others who deal with this just 1 hour of doing absolutely nothing. You all deserve a break and please know like I tell my Mom, you are a super hero 🙏🏻 wishing you a Zen filled week. 🙏🏻💫
I needed this video today. I think lots of us struggle with the same things.
When i have a big task and it doesnt take up space on the page I breakdown every step of the task so it takes up as much space as possible.
I hope it provided some comfort
I enjoy the rambling.... I listen while I work from home on some days
I love the rambling and get the whole stretching yourself thin. I always feel I am not doing enough BUT I have found a way to give myself a break!! Our brains need a break!!
Miro, I hope you are well. I love watching your videos, it's become my Sunday morning ritual. I can't help but notice you've been m.i.a. so I guess you are taking time for yourself. Yes, you do deserve to take down time! It took me years to convince myself it was OK to do nothing. Now though as I retire from the workforce I feel I'm just being lazy. I think we all struggle especially those of us that grew up in a demanding environment.
I have major depressive disorder and anxiety and sever panic attacks to the point where I lose consciousness sometimes. I've been on meds since 2017-2020 for my depression, few weeks ago I started taking meds again for my anxiety. But I know how hard and difficult its to be and stay productive and self-shaming is the worst. My therapist said to me once, maybe in 2017-2018 that during difficult times I have to treat myself as a plant in green house conditions. I didn't understood at that time what she meant by that, because I've never experienced such a "safe space" in my life. And around 2018-2019 I really started getting into the plants. They really help me to be become more patient with myself, and self-love, self-grow. I know it's a meme that we are basically plants but with more complex emotions, but I really think that's kind of true to some degree. You're doing great, even if sometimes it doesn't seem that way. You are. And if you enjoy making these types of videos, please continue. We're all here for you.
Just passing by to say that I miss you and your videos ❤❤❤ sending much love Miro!
I completely understand over planning. Time is so abstract anyway. I am always disappointing myself in this way and I haven’t ever figured out how to resolve it.
I totally struggle with perfectionism and my schedule. Very relatable! I liked watching your calendar system. I think you got a lot accomplished in three weeks...those kinds of life changes take a long time for me to get good at.
Miro, i love your videos. You are a great plant parent. Those hoyas look very healthy and happy. Keep on keeping on. And your handwriting is excellent.
Thank you Sheila
Miro we can relate.. I have an autoimmune disease that can cause extreme fatigue but my brain keeps saying " you need to be doing this,that or the other" At some point we need to either make time- even if its a walk outside and connect with nature,breath some fresh air- or your body,mind will decide for you. Be Kind to yourself ❤ we will always be here to watch your videos ❤🌱
I am sorry to hear that
Miro. Your videos are terrific. Keep making them and including us even when you are doing plant chores.
I was so happy to get another long form video. I could just sit and watch/listen for hours on end.
I completely understand overplanning. Time is so abstract anyway.
Oh my gosh I thought you were 25.
I love these chatty videos. You really need to be kinder to yourself Miro ❤ but I also really love your educational videos! You are a wealth of knowledge! Love you 😘
I just discovered you and have been catching up on your videos. I just got into Hoyas and your videos have been immensely helpful!
But the biggest reason I decided to subscribe & hit that bell is because you crack me UP!!🤣
I have been struggling with a deep depression that's lingered for over a year. I would watch things I knew I liked, that I knew were funny and wouldn't crack a smile. Days would go by and I didn't smile once. One day I watched one of your videos (I think a cleaning out grow tents or something) and actually laughed...hard...almost the whole video. It felt amazing!!! And it was partly because you're hilarious but mostly because I saw myself and realized I didn't have to take things so damn seriously.
So thank you friend in my head for helping me find my giggle again! I ADORE YOU!!🤗
Amazing how you can identify them just by sight
It's plants and plant content. There is always something that "must" get done and a lot of somethings that "could" get done. I limit myself to one or two "must get done" a day and fill in with as many "could be done" as I choose to. Sometimes the phrase "well that's not going to happen" isn't defeat or failure, it's you taking charge and being smart.
Now about Hoya sulawesiana - trailing or trellised? It's at the point where I need to make a decision.
Morning Miro I hope everything with you is well
I think we are twins. Except that I am a retired 68 year old grandma. lol
Triplets...gotta add me lol
Same. I just swapped the body with a 31 year old. I am 68 inside too
😂🙌✨..okay. Wow, time on paper is a hUGE part of the problem (🤔instant realization), great perspective… seriously the struggle is real and the ‘pep’ talk was super relatable. ❤
Gosh all of this is so relatable! I have always put high expectations on myself as well, and struggle every day with not crossing more things off my list. I truly appreciate you sharing your views on things like this, and what you do to try and cope.
I can say that for me, not sleeping well played a huge part in my mental sanity. I started taking sleep medication, and while I won't say that I'm completely sane now lol, I can say that getting 6+ hours of sleep every night has made coping with life a little bit easier.
You are doing so much, and have an incredible amount to be proud of. Take a few minutes each day to remember that 🫶🏻
I was going to write down something to remind me what I needed to do but I forgot to do so. 😋on a more serious note I find even trying to be more organized never ends well. I do love that you try despite everything else working against that need for order. I go to water one section of my collection I blame you for… not all of them just one section. What should take an hour ends up being three 😅
Thank you, my dear friend 💚
Love the hair up
I’ve recently stumbled into being a follower and I just love you so much!!
I love a good ramble!! Ramble away, my friend!!💫😍
Loved this long form video! I was moving furniture around while you were talking. Like co- working. Also you are hilarious 😆
You've got this Miro! You are doing a wonderful job trying to manage all of your plants! You have some wonderful Hoyas! You can only do what you can do! Also aww was that your mom helping you move your aroid?? ❤❤
Hahaha yes! :D She helped me take them out. Mostly to navigate the top so I don't run it into a wall :D
I never set expectations on myself therefore I am never disappointed in myself 😂.
Hahaha :D That's one way to approach it!
Miro is me and I’m Miro. Why are we like this??? 😂😭😭😭
Thank you Miro! I enjoyed this video)) please, more! Your personality is enough ❤
Thank you for talking about this Miro!! Truthfully i struggle with anxiety a lot and plants is usually my coping mechanism, buuuut sometimes they are the cause of my stress or ill ignore my other chores to take care of them... Life is sometimes very tiring
Also I really enjoy these rambling videos :)
Yes, sometimes they can be the trigger for me as well :) So, something to think about there a bit perhaps 😅
Time management is something I really struggle with, my anxiety really kicks in when I don’t complete my list but realistically no one would be able to finish it 😂 thank you for sharing your journey and I really like hearing all of your thoughts
Hahaha :D oh gosh I feel this! The thing with anxiety for me is, I make such wild plans to calm myself down and show how it is all achievable (it's not) and then when I don't complete them, I feel bad xD
@@BasiePlants I constantly forget things unless they are physically in front of me in the form of lists or papers. Everything surrounds me and I feel like I’m about to drown. Then I just tidy everything up and by controlling my environment I am controlling everything else. At least that’s what I tell myself 😃
Thank you for yet another video mirroring my life lol- 💚😎💚
I understand your struggle with your feelings regarding time. I grew up in a family of farmers and businessman that worked from the moment they got up until they got home, and then they worked on home chores until bed. I, on the other hand, do not work because of multiple disabilities (which is its whole other discussion). I worked until 2008, so it I still struggle with feelings that I “do enough.” I’m sorry your philodendron collection had to go, but I’m sure the time and space saved will be worth missing the plants.
@@BasiePlants I think anyone who views your videos would agree that you do a lot with your days! I face the internal struggle of “did I do enough today?” But I have learned (but not do consistently) that other people are not monitoring me and disapproving of how I live my life because they are too busy living their own lives and stressing out about their own stuff. I have an internal monologue that tells me everyone disapproves, but every time it pipes up, I have to tell it no, I’m doing good. It’s only by constantly addressing and countering the thoughts that bother me can I get them to occur less and less often.
I think you need to add the things you’ve already done to your to do list & cross them off, you’ll see that you are doing things. The word ‘clean’ could be broken down too…I’m sure you’re doing some cleaning during the day, washing up etc, so maybe ‘wash dishes, laundry, put potting things away’ there’s 3 ✔️ that you wouldn’t have had but now you can see you’re actually getting things done. Xxxx
I have severe ADHD and I’m a lot like this with time UNmanagement.
You are not alone in your struggles Miro! I am also a classic overplanner, who then gets overwhelmed, except I tend to just totally freak out and get nothing at all done on my list because I don’t know where to start. I have also started a planner and am taking baby steps and putting only little tasks in it so I can get a false sense of accomplishment to get me started 😂
Haha :D I just think I need to clone myself, but Orphan Black style. Not just one more Miro, at least 5-6.
I do a brain dump on a long notepad and add tasks as needed. I don't put deadlines on the tasks or time limits on them. I never want to set myself up for failure and feel bad about not completed all the tasks within a time limit. I will use a highlighter to highlight more urgent tasks and possibly different colored highlighters for ongoing or weekly tasks. I had to try many different planners until I found one I was suited to my style of work. Thank you for the honest discussion about this issue.
Oh gosh. So relatable--except you're way more productive than I am 😅
I have ADHD & time blindness is a huge issue. Now I'm starting menopause & it is getting even worse 😭
Omgosh I can totally relate with the imposter feeling, that I'm not doing enough or doing it well enough. If I'm not doing three things at the same time I'm failing
My therapist and I have worked on acknowledging that getting one task done - washing dishes, should be seen as a win.
Do I? No. Haha. But someday maybe
I also use the bullet journal method and feel the exact same way about empty spaces. So now I use stickers and terrible sketches 😅
I have dogs and use them as excuses to take breaks and walk them a few times a day and that's become a win for me
I do the same thing, happy to hear you just said you are aware a lot of others do this too. Been hanging out with you for a while now, feel like your my friend just saying, be gentle to yourself. It's a practice, but worth starting....
I adore your ramblings, sorry to hear your aroids have outgrown your space , but be pleased with yourself that you grew them well and will thrill their next caregivers ☺️💞.
I didnt see how you are growing your pieces that you pulled out of their baggies . I see the drink cups but do you put them in bins or back in the bottom shelves of cabinets ?
The hoyas I potted went on the bottom of the cabinet. I typically root the cuttings in bins or bags in this case, but once they have roots I take them out. :) I don't grow any in bins long-term.
I absolutely struggle with this. I'm currently in the process of packing up my entire life and moving to the other side of the world. plus still working full time. with no help.
the amount of lists and the unrealistic timeframes is very familiar right now.
Yo wildfern got me into hoyas with her majestical krimson queen!!!
Hi Miro, I've been looking at all your old 30 days videos as I got a big box of new hoya today and they are sooooo useful. I know you don't want to do another 30 days because of time slots etc but I was wondering if you could do a few geographical videos showcasing hoya that are from the same area and therefore requiring similar conditions. No pressure, especially in light of this topic lol!
As an older person living w daily pain I cannot keep moving or be on my feet so having 100 plants takes me all week then I start over. Now I don’t have time to cook and clean. Ooops
Do you have a video that shows your process for acclimation of imported hoya?
You are learning Hungarian? Wow that is amazing, I find Hungarian one of the hardest languages on earth! hahaha
I am 43 and struggling all my life. No surprise, it turned up to be ADHD. Well, good to know, late is better than never 😂 Now i'm learning how to manage time being time blind. Things are getting better slowly, though.
We want to see you philodendrons.
I was also somene who fely like i had to do something all the time. And now i am pregnant with a toddler. When i get a day off. I do nothing. I make my husband put away the laundry. I am done.
The guilt of not doing enough for my child is almost worse than just hustling....
Rest is important. I burn out quite easily. And my nervous system get wired quite easily. My naturopath gave me some herbs and it has taken the edge off.
It just feels like such real and like mature adult conversation when you talk abouy what ails you. *back pat*
Lately i dont have the energy for plant care and or chore and i have expensive plants and i just like blah what ever but i need to get my shit together and care for her i think im hybernating lol
you should doodle hoyas in the extra spaces so you. can't add on to your to-do lists. also I am pretty sure everyone has difficulty with perceiving time esp how long it takes to complete tasks. scheduling down time is always recommended by people but scheduling in general is so draining for me I just take my downtime whenever I can
I could probably enjoy watching you talk about a brown paper bag. Your videos make my weekend!
I have been sick snd have a full time job am under dr care and sometimes feel am getting ok and sometimes feel like death and feel guilty because I can’t do everything I want to do but I have learned to say oh well maybe tomorrow lol but not really lol
Also I do enjoy your videos they inspire and also help me in my little Hoya journe
My mother was a perfectionist...and living at home, was like walking on eggshells. No matter how much I did (being the oldest of three girls), it was NEVER enough. At 15 or 16 I tried to become rebellious and not care any more...but damage was already deeply ingrained. I swore I never wanted to be like her, but after being married and having children, it was like watching HORRIBLE re-runs. Then when my youngest sister, and my oldest daughter told me how much I reminded them of my mom...I went into deep depression for almost 5 months. Back then (I'm 67 now), you were considered NUTSO if you said you needed counseling. Maybe it was having seven children that actually saved me. When I got to my fifth child (now mind you, I always thought I wanted 13 or 7 children), but when #5 came along, I realized, I wasn't SuperMom, I wasn't WonderWoman...I was just me (which was never enough). I chose to homeschool my children at least until high school. That was about the time, my "schedule" had to go into the circular file almost every evening. Each morning or late evening, I'd write down what I "hoped" to get done the next day. If I could ✅check off one thing that day...I had to learn to be okay with that. And everything else had to go on to the next day, or the next week, or the next month...WHATEVER the case may be. After I'd had child number 4, I was forever out of my mom's good graces...so maybe that also helped for me to stop trying to please or appease "that invisible pressure." But now, I write it all off to being over twice your age, and some things I just have to say, "I don't give a damn!" and let it go. Or else...I could choose to be a crotchety old lady🤬 LOL 😂 I think I'm starting to be okay with the fact that I'm not perfect. 🤣😵💫🙃😉 oops! I forgot to say how much I love your ramblings in the midst of keeping it real. That's why I watch your videos, Miro! 💙
When you say study, what are you studying? I know you talked about having a masters but did you mention what you are currently studying? If I missed that I’m sorry for asking.
Hungarian :)
You used Leca on the bottom of your cup then soil for rootings? Can you do a video on how you root Hoyas in coconut husk? You said it is the best and fastest for rooting a Hoya? Would you leave a Hoya in husk? I wonder if you have to water more often I am having a hard time keeping up w watering I don’t have enough time
I used LECA to essentailly lift the coconut husk and create a small reservoir - I am just trying this out as I don't really have access to small selfwatering pots so I thought this could do the trick :) You do have to water more often in coconut husk, it dries out very fast. As for rooting, I just put a cuttiing in a pot with coco husk, spray it and put it in a bag - they were rooted in a week :) I will probably include it in one of the future videos.
@@BasiePlantsyay I am going to try this. I have been doing this w moss
Can you share the name of the very last plant on the video when you were outside, it was strappy and in a hanging basket.
It is a type of a epiphytic cactus, but I forgot the name :/ It's been a long time since I bought it and it has no tag in it anymore. Potentially Pfeiffera boliviana, but I am not sure.
25, 31 quite the same. It gets better year by year. I am 46 and living my best life. So only good things awaite. But the guys with the fish. What tha fish is that! Maybe they relate with jesus. Not my thing nevertheless.
Ps im a prognastirator. Machine. Im an agnstful prognastinator who beats herself up even though i take medication for my angst. Angst is my middle name, i have too many feelings and what time management also. So i opened up here, sorry for that! I love your channel ❤
This sounds like ADHD and/or ASD. Time blindness and executive dysfunction very common. I say all I f this after figuring out I have ADHD at age 42.
What mistakes, Miro? Everything is fine.
Where are you!!!! We miss you!!! Who do we call??? Ghostbusters!!!! Let us know that you are ok!!!
Hello! No worries, I am good.! There will be new videos soon, I simply had to take care of some administrational stuff that required all my attention :)
Good!! Take your you time!!! Just know you are loved and.missed!
Maybe it's the floor and not the tripod 🤔
Sounds to me you have horror vacui :D so if you want to fill up the page I suggest you write down each chore and add all the details involved in that specific chore. then proceed casually and add all the other things you do. It's a cheat, sort of, it will look like you have done even more than you had planned, but you are an artist I believe and you need some order, but mess befits you much better 😆
Follow the flow of your WAY - once you have found it :D
Now I'm watching the final part, I love it when you talk to yourself!!! 🤩
wow do you write your plans in english?? or, just so we US 'monoglots' can understand 😉
I do! Probably because I speak/ write English most of the day xD
My advice also does not apply to me. Do as I say, not as I do, people 🤣! And shush! I am aware... No need to say it out loud..
