    what i want to know is how you don’t burn out? and how you aren’t super tired from a full day that when you get home, you don’t just wanna chill out for the rest of the night? do you ever become exhausted from such a busy schedule?!

      This is all about self-discipline and determination. Yes, she probably is super tired after work/school! Aren't we all? But what's 30 minutes out of your day to edit RUclips vid/post IG pic/etc. What is 1 hour of just doing something you want to do? Like I want to work on sewing or dancing. If I really wanted to do it, I WILL put in that time to do so. EVERYTHING you do consists of sacrificing something else, whether it's not hanging with your friends, not having 8 hours of sleep, not drinking/smoking after work, or not being on your phone for the next 4 hours until you sleep. It's stuff like that you have to consider. :) The question is: What am I willing to sacrifice to get the things I wanna do, done? - This is simple, but not easy. Everyone always wants to do the easy way and unfortunately, that's not always the best way or even an option. :/ Self-discipline is a very hard skill to learn and requires day-by-day work. You can go on reading all the self-help books, motivational books all you want. It'll help get you motivated, but possibly not for long. At the end of the day, it's all about whether you are willing to do what you gotta do, or not.
      Hope this helps!

      @@lunam9376 true words! But it is better to still get 7-8 hrs of sleep a night, just so that you can be more productive during the day. If sleeping less works for you, keep doing that! You are lucky! But if you find yourself getting a bit more tired than usual, maybe sleeping more could work for you

    • @lunam9376
      @lunam9376 4 года назад +20

      @@probablyaproblem6549 Haha! I actually sleep 7-8 hours every night. I HIGHLY disagree with sleeping with anything less. Especially with what I study, pretty much all my professors tell me in every class to sleep 8 hours. (I study Cognitive Science). I'm just saying to make a point though about sacrifice in general! What would you be willing to sacrifice? For me, SLEEP IS NEVER ONE I SACRIFICE. But more like I choose to not hang out with friends often, or not work at my serving job to focus on my school or hobbies. Maybe more so like, sleeping earlier instead of sleeping at 1/2am, so you can get up at 7-8am. Stuff like that :)

      To all the people who burn out here’s how not to. Listen to a podcast,music or any thing you can enjoy as you do things. Try to make you tasks a game or fun. Self care ( baths, skin care food sleep not instagram stuff) and have a white board by your bed. It helps me make a to do list that I can erase as I do tasks. Hope this helps!

    I have literally been doing the same spreadsheet every week for the last 5 years of my life!!! As someone who juggles 40 hours of uni, a full time clinical role, sports and volunteering- its crucial! When I moved out of home I even scheduled in when I did my washing, grocery shopped, cooked meals and got ready in the morning just because life was so hectic I needed to know that there was actually enough hours to do it all.
    Thanks for sharing Rach!!!

    12:44 ngl i cried when you said that. I've been pressuring myself ever since and I still fail alot. I don't have time for myself, I can't do things that I love, and REST. I've tried bulletjournaling but tbh it didn't really worked for me and it just stresses me out more lmao. I thought studying a lot of time will be easier but I actually need to rest (I realized I'm so dumb when I'm overwhelmed HAHAHA). I've been doing your method for 6 months already and I really did see the progress I made. I am less anxious and most importantly...I am happy.
    Thank you so much without this maybe ngl I'm already hopeless

    Oh and a tip for you: it has been really useful to me is to also plan my means in the same schedule. In that way when you are busy you have no excuse to skip lunch and take your time to eat mindfully.

    Hey Rachel, I'm currently in matric and love to do makeup, singing,dancing, vlogging and the list goes on. I grew up in a family that always believe that education is the only key to success and as I'm finding myself I'm starting to not believe that and not giving school the attention I used to give. When it comes to me vlogging, or making makeup videos I am happy to do that but I tend to procrastinate when it comes to school I feel guilty that I don't have that much enthusiasm for school anymore… Is it okay to feel like this ?

    I am curious how you manage to do all these things without taking a break in between? I feel like my mind can take around 30 minutes to an hour to just refresh after I complete a hard task? Also, how do you manage cooking and eating? I find that those are relatively large time sinks for me (and I would definitely classify eating as a necessity :D)
    Also, I have found that I need almost as much or more time to study for my classes as I spend in them - how do you manage without more than a couple hours for studying?
