Frequently Asked Questions:
😇 How old are you? 22
📝 What are you studying? I just finished studying English Literature at the University of Exeter. But we are students for life, and I hope that I will continue learning even though I am out of structured education.
📚What are your favourite books? • 200 book recommendatio...
📝 Have you written a book? My life goal is to be a published author and make a living from writing and I am using this year to gain experience, build up a portfolio and work on a book with my agent. I have just finished the final draft of that book, as you can see in this video. I did self-publish a book about bullying when I was seventeen which is available on Amazon (amzn.to/3mdJKLm), but I'm slightly embarrassed by it now!
🎃 Do you have merch? I don't have merch in the traditional sense (I can't imagine selling something with my face or name on haha!), but I do have a stationery company where I sell planners for students. These are all designed with students in mind and follow models which I've used when planning my studying. Our products are printed in pastel colours on recycled paper: bit.ly/3wgsR85

I love how Ruby's Mum is involved with Ruby's RUclips~😊😊😊
She’s honestly such a good sport! I’m so grateful for her ♥️
@@RubyGranger8 🤒
Love it too ❤❤
Me too! :)
@@PlanetImo are you racist
please use this as the "love the new catchphrase" button - I'm definitely ready to have more than just a productive week! Love the mindset you have developed over the last few years and I think this represents it very well :) Thanks Ruby :) Love the desk!
Yeah, the catchphrase is great! Also, I would love a video qhere Ruby explains the way she wants to see productivity in more detail
@@_C____ agreed!
Rubys catchphrase is "the chickens are going in for the night" remember
@@thenoobalmighty8790 nooo, what's that??
@@_C____ from another recent video
I really loved the interactions you had with your mom in this video. 🥺
That’s actually really nice to hear because I was trying out something new 🥰
@@RubyGranger8 You can really feel that and although I already loved your previous videos a lot it feels even more natural and insightful like this 🥰❤️
feeling so nostalgic. I started watching you when i was going into my first year of university, and so were you! my degree was five years (I’m finishing next month!) You have no idea how much you’ve shaped my university life. the most influential impact you’ve had on me is teaching me to appreciate the small, simple, little things. I’ve struggled so much in with test anxiety and you have given me an unbelievable amount of comfort, you are one of those people on social media that I feel so productive after watching - I just haven’t realized how much i appreciate you. I seriously hope your life is happy and fulfilled, I know we only see a part of it here, but thank you so much for showing us this part of yourself. You are so special❤️ 💓
Ruby I recently read a new book that I loved and couldn't help but think to myself Ruby would probably love this as well. It's The Little Shop of Found Things by Paula Brackston. it's about a girl who moves to a small town in Wiltshire and opens an antique shop with her mother, and travels to the 17th century through an antique object.
Oh that sounds lovely! Thank you for the recommendation :) x
Got to add a recommendation. It's a completely different topic, it's from a young naturalist about how he experiences nature and how it's connected to his mental health. It's called Young Naturalist by Dara McAnulty.
It just really makes you love nature even more and focus on recharging in it, and the poetry is thought-provoking.
It's just great and beautifully written.
Now I'm going to read it too 🤩
Nice 👍👍
Ohh that sounds like my sort of book, thanks for sharing!
The end was pure gold! Love you and your mum's dynamic.
♥️♥️♥️
I genuinely smiled when you were talking with your mom at the end of the video, you two seem so lovely ❤
"Have more than just a productive week!". I like that. You too. You know, that could mean a lot of different things, so I like it!
Your father taught you well. That new desk came out beautifully. When you first showed it I was immediately drawn to the drawer handles being so perfect! I love that you think so too. Absolutely a perfect fit for your needs and space. Great organization too. And your interaction with Mum at the end is brilliant. ❤😊
we're saying goodbye to your iconic old desk deff brings back a lot of memories
still really excited for your new desk love ur content ✨💖💖
It feels like the end of an era 🐻
@@RubyGranger8 I had a dream about having this desk 😅
I always adore your stationery videos and this may be my new favourite! such a beautiful new desk set up and a such a lovely calming video after a long week! ❤️
Ahh thank you! It was *such* a fun project and I’m totally in love!
As a person with a chronic illness, who used to be able to FILL their days with "productivity" I would really love that new catch phrase. When I first started watching your videos almost a year ago, that outro really threw me off. The more I watched, I could see what you meant by it, just as you explained it here, but I did struggle with it at first. Because I've struggled to not berate myself for not being as productive as I want to be, I couldn't help but feel judgement in that line. And I've learned there is gentleness, grace, and goodness in slowness and I'm learning to find meaning in it rather than searching for an outward productivity that society would prefer me to reach. So thanks for being mindful of it!
What on earth took me so long to find this, like the most adorable channel on RUclips. What an absolute bright spot of the day!
your mum is precious. And this reminds me of late last year my dad helped me put a new top to my desk!
The ending was so cute! Have yourself a more than productive week too, Ruby 😄🌱
Oh! Ruby i have a tip for your drawers! Rubb a canleatick on the drawer and the wood-piece where the drawer rests. It will make them glide smooooooth!
Sorry for my bad english, i’m från Sweden
So excited! I love desk and stationary stuff 🙂 well done Ruby
There is nothing better than copious amounts of stationery, as Dickens says 🤍
Getting a new desk is such a huge thing, so happy for you! And let's go with the DIY and second-hand shopping, I like the mix of white and yellow/brown. It actually looks nice. Also, there truly is something about sorting stationary (I could spend days on that). And then afterwards when you use it, the system you created... No explanation for that feeling, honestly 😄
Your room and working nook is so cozy! Especially on rainy days I imagine
Thank u, Ruby, your videos are so comforting in this stormy sea of life.
Hi Ruby! I´m Austrian and I just came across your videos as they were proposed to me on RUclips. And I absolutely love them!
Good job on sanding, painting, and polishing.
It was never my thing.
I loved part at the end with your Mum , Ruby.
I also agree on the more than a productive week. Productivity can be positive !
And so can having time out to relax and do absolutely nothing!
Hope that new desk will be comfortabel! Good traveling with books!
I recently acquired the Desk and hutch that had been my dream to own since I was a young girl. My Mother and Father, God rest their Souls, could not at the time afford to provide it for me and they did what they could. I found my antique Henry Link desk and hutch on Etsy😢 writing there and organizing my Journals, books, and stationery items upon it has been the fulfillment of years of yearning. For a writer and and introvert, my desk is where I feel most at-ease and at Peace. Your desk is lovely, Ruby. Thank you for sharing this insight into your utterly inspiring and intriguing world. ✒
Cambridge Latin course is excellent, and so is Lingua Latina per se Illustrata. I started with Wheelock's and found it tough to use on my own, so I am mainly using LL now. I also recommend Latin: an Intensive Course. It gives a comprehensive overview of how the grammar works, which is refreshing. Bona fortuna! By the way, you are driving me nuts by not removing the tags/stickers from your storage containers...!
Hi Ruby! I wish I found your videos 10 years ago, I would've needed the study motivation I've got from your videos. Currently I'm a stay-at-home mom, finished my studies already but sometimes I feel like I need to study something more. I'm currently working on a course from university when I have time and energy, and I always come to watch some of your video first to get myself on proper mood for studying. :)
I'm a silent viewer, I started watching your videos when I was in high school to motivate myself to study more and now I'm a third year medical student, still love your videos ❤
Ah Cris! Thank you so much for being here!
Your mum trying to direct the video is so sweet!
I watched the cottage fairy cause you recommended and thank you it was so soothing, tranquil and calming. Thank you very much
Isn’t she wonderful! X
@@RubyGranger8 yes it is and suddenly I just felt like I got enlightenment
You guys may also like Indoora world
@@CrisOnTheInternet I'll definitely check that out. Thanksa for suggesting
The Mulburyhouse is also good
Mum's Filming! Aww I love this. She's clearly so proud of her daughter
The child she created in her womb and expelled out of her uterus
Thank you for the interesting videos you really made me love studying
That’s my favourite thing to hear from viewers, you know… it brings me so much joy to hear 🥰
Fantastic job, Ruby! ... I think, with this desk you're going be the best-selling author in no time!
What a great space! The view outside your window while you work must be so wonderful.
Good luck with the Latin! As someone who studied it for 6 years, I can tell you you're up for a challenge, but it's one right up your alley!
Ah thank you! I can’t wait! X
I feel what you really want is a personal office haha. The desk is great though! I suggest an ergonomic chair to go with it 🙂 (don’t get fooled into buying gaming chairs. ergo chairs are always better when compared in the same price range)
Aw I’ll miss the old desk 😢 But the new one is so much more spacious! And kudos to you for DIY-ing it - I wouldn’t even try 😂
I love the raw video material at the end🤍🤍🤍
This may seem totally naff, but could you please do a hair tutorial for the hairstyle in your intro where you a getting a mug out of the cupboard. It looks like a quick fun up do for studying, I'd love to try it!!
Ruby’s mom reminds me of myself. I used to video my kids RUclips but they never got on with it very well. I am very active in my kids’ lives and Rub’s mom seems that way too! Loved the video…so relaxing.
You sound like a bit of a noob
So this is the first time you said "more than just a productive week", I absolutely love that phrase and wondered how you'd come up with it!
The desk looks amazing! A bit of advice: Never wear your hair loose while using powertools, your hair can get stuck in there and pull it out, it can lead to serious injury.
And ear protection if using a particularly loud one, like a power sander.
We have the same desktop background ! Love the new desk - it fits with your aesthetic so well ❤
I really love that you've redefined your outro (as you are so right mindful productiveness is a lot more beneficial than productiveness just for the sake of being productive).
Also loved the whole video, it was so satisfying 😂 I love organisational videos 😍
It's so sweet how involved your motherr is!
I loved this video. I also loved the ‘bloopers’ or the ‘behind the scenes’ moments that you kept in. I really enjoyed that. I’m such a fan of all your videos and social media’s but this felt so much more natural and relatable, just because of those bits at the end.
I love your new desk as well by the way. Can’t wait to see more videos Ruby 🫶🏼🤍
Love the desk and the ending with your mom was so sweet 🥺❤️ so wholesome
A tip for any drawers that stick - save old candle stubs! Pull the drawer out and rub all over with a candle. The wax will help it glide smoothly.
Hello Ruby, I just wanted to give you a video idea. Maybe you could show us your favourite places to go in London! I hope you like it, have a productive week! 💕
Very intresting to see if you will be rearaging your room now that your desk is mobile and you can place it at a diffrent spot :))
I took this video as a sign to tidy my desk up (I didn't realise quite how many books I'd got out the library!!). I'm currently doing Advanced Latin at uni, so lots of good luck with it, you actually have one of the workbooks/textbooks I used in first and second year!
Yes! I’m so pleased! And is the textbook a good one? Are there any others you would recommend? 🥰
@@RubyGranger8 Yes it is honestly such a great textbook, the longer translation exercises at the end of each chapter are a really good way to get some practice at reading "proper" Latin texts. I would also recommend Wheelock's Latin, it is a really comprehensive guide to anything grammar related. I'm not sure if you can get a free copy online but I do have a pdf version which I could always send to you? Once you've got to grips with some of the grammar I would also recommend getting some Latin texts (some of them can be a bit pricey but the majority come with very helpful commentary notes at the back), one of my personal favourites is Cicero's Select Letters. I hope this is helpful in some way x
I love the candid moment at the end! so cuuute!
Nice desk! I don't know if this was alredy mentioned, but if you have spare paint I'd paint the insides and the top edge of the drawers, the look would improve so much when you open them and a lighter colour would make it easier to see the things inside!!
Very true! I was just a bit too lazy 🙊 I’m not a big fan of painting haha!
Truly inspirational as always. Love your new desk. Didn't take long to fill the draws! 😊
I found a new desk recently as well, though it was a couple months ago! When my family moved to another state in the US, we found a new desk and bookshelves for my bedroom. However, my desk only has two small drawers but that's fine because there are many other places to store stationary on my second bookshelf. It was so exciting! Your videos are such inspirations to me and I hope you can continue encouraging others to actively pursue their dreams. How your mum supports your presence in the media is so adorable and something I really admire! I hope everybody who reads this has a wonderful day!
I love all your videos and especially the ones when your family is involved. I feel like I’ve known you for years. Well since your GCSEs I believe. I hope you never stop posting. Your videos help me to stay productive. When I am feeling “lazy” or not wanting to do anything I watch one of your videos and suddenly I want to complete my tasks. I would love for you to start a podcast, I hope one day you will.
Loved your little reflection about redefining productivity at the end of the video!! I think it is very important that we don't forget about taking care of ourselves when getting things done is seen as the most important thing. It can also provoke just the opposite thing!!! That we cannot be productive due to overworking ourselves to the extreme trying to get all done. And you really transmit that in your videos, so thank you so so much for that. Have a wonderful month!! :)
Put candle wax or soap on hard to pull drawer or just sand it a little❤️
Ohhh! I have the same wallpaper on my laptop!❤
Loved the new desk setup!😊🤍
Love the new desk! Having all the drawers is such an advantage. I have a standing desk and miss having the storage. ALSO! Ruby you should definitely start a podcast! I love your conversational style and approach to topics! ❤
You have inspired me so so much,Ruby. Since watching your videos I have read lots more books and reflected on them afterwards. This has also rlly helped with my school work and essay writing so thank you!!
loved the "have more than just a productive week"
I just showed this video to my mum and said that i need the exactly same desk for me. And she also loved your new desk
You and your mother are a dynamic duo💜💜💜
Yeah i would smash em both in
Wow that is a very beautifull and efficient way of organizing a desk. Well done and thank you for letting us enjoy the proces.
The new desk has more space for you to store your valuable things. That's a really good-looking and useful desk. Fit your vibe well!🥰
You have the sweetest mom ❤️
hi ruby and hi to rubys mom, to make your draw more smooth just rub some soap any bar of soap on the draw runner and your draw will pull out smothly . i love your desk and goes so well in your room xxxxx
I just have to say thank you ruby for rethinking your outro! 💗 Not to say I didn't like it before, I always knew that by saying "productive" you also meant mindful, but I agree that it feels a bit pressured like it's really important to be productive all the time. I just love that you are always so reflective and although you've always said "have a productive week" you now reflected on it again and felt that maybe it wasn't quite the right formulation anymore for what you mean. I have to admit it actually has been a sentence that has slightly bothered me in the past but just you reflecting on it so spontaneously and explaining what you really think is important just made you feel so much more approachable and human in some way. 😊
I hope you get what I mean to say, I kind of feel like it sounds insulting but I really mean it in a positive way! 😂🙈
Love the video by the way! It's such a pretty desk! :)
Been watching you for ages now , I love your timelapses , pls do them more often !!!
"Have more than just a productive week" LOVE IT! ❤
I adore your videos so much Ruby. I work full time, am very busy generally speaking, and I love your attitude towards doing things you enjoy and living life by your own terms.
You are amazing Ruby I can’t even have the words to describe how happy your videos make me feel ❤. Always when I’m not feeling good or feeling stressed I know that if I watch any of your videos my mood will change
Thank you Ruby 🙌🏻🤍
Ruby being so resourceful with the sanding and painting! I thought your old desk was a bit small for all you have going on. The new one is great. You may need to flip your bed back around.
Well now, that was a very satisfying video to watch! I also love everything stationery-related. 💕
Well in that case one would think you would be able to spell stationary correctly
That is just so pretty. Well done!
You are such an inspiration, especially for such a young person.
How do you make time for learning Latin? Could you maybe make a new weekly routine video? Those videos are my favourites because they are so motivating!
Love Ruby- you words at the end touching my heart made tears down， watching just like a friend of mine talking to me， I am 40 but your productive video benifit to my
life thank you，Love from Beijing
I adore your new desk, Ruby! I love all the things you love, so it was immensely delightful to see how you have arranged each drawer. Tidiness is completely satisfying. This is the best and most adorable video, with your mum behind the camera.
So exciting to see you learning Latin. I got my undergrad and masters in Classics and it always tickles me pink to see someone else embarking on the journey.
I love your mom Ruby! She seems sweet! Thank you for sharing this video...enjoyed watching setting up your new desk :)
Lovely Ruby! I was so excited when I came home from a long day of uni and saw that you uploaded a new video❤️
I will miss your old desk so much
That's wonderful Ruby that you got a new desk. I love that it's an older one.🥰
The new catchphrase is so lovely!1

If you have a stiff drawer, take it out and rub the runner with candle wax. It worked for me ,❤
