    I just started my first 9-5 and I’m already stuck in a rut because adjusting to work life is hard. Jenna your videos are the only thing pulling me thru gurl 😭

    I’m definitely w you in that rut right now. It’s hot and muggy and I’m working two part time jobs and everything just feels stagnant. I realized that it’s a great time to start doing things for others- to help them feel good and fulfilled, rather than shopping or trying to find tasks and hobbies to fill the hole I’m feeling inside of me right now. I donated to a charity the other day and that’s a start- something I’ve decided to do once a month, even if it’s only $5-10. The next step is to get back into my weekly neighborhood trash cleanup routine. I did that for a long time and stopped when I started working so much, but honestly, it’s not that hard to find an hour a week to take a walk up and down the block and do something for the community.
    I know my rut isn’t a work rut, it’s a life rut, but I feel you. You’ll get through it though! You’re a really great example of a well-rounded person, Jenna. I love watching your videos- thank you for sharing your life w us.

    I totally get the "summer mode" feeling when working a 9-5, its kind of the WORST! lol I'm sorry you've been in a bit of a rut, I feel like after a month (or so) of feeling in a rut I'm just now starting to feel a little better. sometimes for me it comes down to not "fighting" the rut feeling and just letting it be, do the things that get me back into my routine and eventually i start to feel better 💗

    Thank you for the tips, like the lunch break idea! I have been researching different productivity methods here on RUclips. I think hourly schedules and daily lists might not work for me. However, I saw on Living Like Leila channel she did a video called a week of pomodoros and PetuniaRose has a video called building a routine am and pm tasks, where around 7 minutes into the video she talks about am and pm tasks and theme days for everyday. Like how Leila did like a productivity experiment video to see what works because there are different method list daily lists, weekly list, theme days, pomodoro, just a monthly calendar.

      Oh no I’m sorry you’re feeling stuck! I would talk with your manager or performance counselor if you have one, when I felt that way I voiced it and I am so much more happier these days with some new projects I’ve gotten
