Tip if you don't want to spend a lot of money on a manicure or chip your polish a lot: use a nude nail polish and color them at home. I bought essie nail polishes (my 3 faves: limo-scene, ballet slippers, mademoiselle) and they look so cute. Nude is such a classy color. My friends noticed and complimented the color choice. It's an easy way out... cheap, fast and if you chip your polish no one will notice from far away.
Some things that make me feel like I have my life together:1. Wearing Earings2. I bought a greeting card box where I have all occasion cards ready to go at anytime. 3. Wearing perfume.4. Sitting down on Sunday and writting out my week ahead.Not in any specific order :)
Wearing earrings and perfume are definitely ones for me. I have to wear a uniform to work so earrings are one of the few things I can do for some individuality. I think it looks more polished.
I found a good tip on saying sorry too much. Say thank you instead. Instead of saying "sorry I'm late" say "thank you for waiting for me". Instead of thinking about your weight on the world think about how it holds you up 🥰 much love to all
1) Get rid of old stuff/cluter. 2) Organize, organize, organize. 3) Perm press, iron, or starch your best/favorite clothes. You'll like the way you look. I guarantee it. (ba-dum-tiss) 3) DON'T over-accessorize. Keep it minimal. 4) MAKE YOUR BED! 5) Rearrange furniture (if you can) 6) LAUGH! Keep note of things that make you smile, laugh, and feel good. If it's a video, watch it. If it's a song, put it on repeat. If it's a book, take it with you everywhere, etc. 7) Pay your bills early (if you're able to, obviously) 8) Do some Volunteer work. This is advice for those who are unemployed and have all the hours of the day. Do something to better the lives of someone else. Helping others feels good and it makes you feel accomplished when you know you've worked hard and your work is appreciated. 9) Don't tell everyone you know every detail of your life. Don't word vomit your troubles and heartaches. Remember that they can't fix everything. Be mindful and respectful of everyone's hurts & needs. 10) Be compassionate. 11) Self ref;ect and ask yourself questoins on your own behavior, feelings, or actions that may or may not have been beneficial, overreactive, or neccesarry to whatever situation is happening around you. 12) Be gracious with yourself. Let go of self-degradation. Learn to love yourself (not IN love with yourself- that's not cool). Don't be so hard on yourself and let loose every once in a while.
Red Warrior613 number 3. Yes! Taking care of your clothes is an investment in your life spiritually and physically. An afternoon of ironing while watching a girly moving is great self care
1.Everyone thinks I have my life together because my nails are always done, and 2. my SHOES ARE ALWAYS CLEAN! This is HUGE! If you have ratty shoes your whole outfit is ruined even if you have the nicest clothes on. Even if the shoes aren’t expensive - If they’re nice and clean you look the part. Same thing with lint or dog hair on your clothes, lint roll your clothes people! It makes such a huge difference
I keep thinking of more, bare with me; keep it simple with jewelry! If you’re trying to show off your earrings wear a tiny necklace. Big necklace; wear studs. Showing off a bracelet, don’t go crazy with the rings. It’s all about balance. If you’re trying too hard it will be evident to everyone that you are. So keep it simple and classy. Last thing. Watches. I personally have an Apple Watch, but, any watch will help you get your life actually together, AND help you look the part. Half of the time before I had a watch when I was looking at my phone I was checking the time. Once the time was easily accessible to me via my watch all the time, it was easier to manage my tasks at home, and at work.
If someone asks me to attend an event or a meeting I get the details and tell them I'll check my calendar and let them know. Unless it's a family thing then I usually know right away if I can do it. Making someone wait for your RSVP (but keep it timely) lets them know that your time is valuable and can make it look at least like you have a life. For those of us introverts that need time to prepare the energy to go out and mingle.
That said, I'm usually late-late. But it took me a lot of years (decades) to realize that aiming to be *on time* is a recipe for being late. You *have* to aim to be about 1/2 early and reverse engineer. (Which in my case might get me 15-5 minutes early if I'm lucky and is really hard for me, as a person with ADD.) But just realizing that aiming to be there "on time" was a recipe for disaster was quite an eye opener.
Ultraviolet Morgan I totally get that! I used to have the worse time management skills and would always be showing up late to things (including work 😅) I usually aim for 10-15 minutes earlier and that way if I am running late I’m actually on time lol but it’s crazy how different things go when you are early/on time! Definitely a life changer!
The things that make me feel like I have my life together are: 1. Always having a pen in my bag 2. Sending thank you cards 3. Writing follow up emails 4. Carrying a drink bottle 5. Doing anything more than just a bun with my hair.
Clever ideas! Big sunglasses - YES! Washing your face - YES! I love the stationary idea! I think getting ready for the day right away is the NUMBER ONE TRICK to feeling like you have your life together. Of course, I haven't yet mastered how to make that happen with three kiddos. 🤷♀️
Love how you said that if you don't have time for yourself, you don't have a life. It's important not only to take care of yourself but to really be aware of where you are, to reflect, and to give yourself the time you deserve. I love the idea of going on dates by yourself and have done this one. You can experience life on your own and enjoy it just as much, if not more. Cheers!
What makes me feel put together 1. planning out my week 2. putting on a little make up and actually brushing my hair LOL #momlife 3. Getting up before I HAVE to. 4. Putting on some earrings :)
Some tricks I use to make people think I got my life together is by always being on time or show up early. Another great tip is to bring sticky notes and notecards. They are little and quick to get out and are always great to write something down for later and make you seem well organized. My last trick that seems to make alot of people think I am organized is to bring a water bottle I use the CamelBak eddy I always carry it with me just in case I get thirsty because I live in Texas and it gets hot here.
This is my favorite version of Amy ever!!! Knowing what I’m going to eat and have it prepared before I’m starving makes me feel like I’ve got my life together.
"Pretty much nobody has a clue what they're doing." That was oddly comforting! Additionally: That track suit jacket with that makeup is FIYAH! UPDATE: OK Socials, I’ve washed my face, started my nighttime shutdown ritual, got my lemon water ready at bedside, rubbed on my Bath & Body Works Stress Relief Lotion, taken my herbal stress relief tincture, turned on the diffuser with lemon essential oils... Can anyone recommend a great eye makeup remover? I can never get all of my Fenty eyeshadow and Kat Von D eyeliner off!
I've been using Pond's cold cream *forever*. It is really affordable, lasts a very long time because you don't need much, and is able to get all of my eyeliner off (I wear a lot of eyeliner). :)
I really, REALLY needed to hear that bit about standing by your decisions and trusting your gut! The timing couldn't have been better.... Despite it being indirect, I can't express how much I have been needing to hear someone else reaffirm that for me. 🙏🏻
Here are my notes: 1. Stop letting other people decide how together you are. -You have to build self-confidence and self-reliance. 2. Make time for yourself. -Treat yo self and date yourself (can do artist date below, haha). -You have to love yourself. 3. Go on an artist's date (go to a museum, movies, take a walk) . -My favorite place to go to the park and hike. Love the ideas. 4. Limit consumption, increase creation. -Give good content to your network and to the world. -Share your thoughts with others. 5. Outer order is inner calm -very true. Keep an organized workspace and home, as it will help you to relax and find what you need when you need it. 6. Move your but t. -exercise every day. 7. Limit alcohol consumption. -What's alcohol? lol. Ewww, gross. 8. Don't replay to texts immediately. -It can wait. Focus on what needs to be done in the now. 9. Stop wearing leggings as pants . -leggings are so comfy, but also a little trashy if taken to the extreme and out of context. 10. Wash your face . -and practice good hygiene in general. Ewww, you don't want to make yourself sick and you don't want to age fasters. 11. Stop over- apologizing. -Why are you so sorry for the smallest things or for being yourself? Show your self-confidence or work on building more of it up. 12. Make your own decisions. -You are an adult, or soon to be an adult. Rather, you have your own right to make decisions about what you want to do in life. 13. Big Sunglasses. 😎 -You are so cool. Be even cooler and safer from UV protection. 14. Get things done with calendar blocking . -stay organized, productive, and on time! 15. Use personalized stationary. -so cute and handy. People will know that it is you. 16. Acknowledge birthdays. -Your friends and family are very important. Let them know that they are too you.
Yes!! Don’t wear leggings as pants!!!! Also, I feel like I have my life together when my house is clean (and I stick to my weekly cleaning schedule), things are at least tidy before I go to bed (so I wake up in the morning and don’t have to look around and get ready in a mess), and having meals prepped for the week! I’ve also had a decent bedtime routine for the past few weeks, and that has helped as well!
Waking up super early and sleeping early makes me feel like I have it all together. Planning my week in advance, keeping a journal, handwriting a lot, reading, not talking too much, sticking to a consistent dressing and makeup style, cooking my own food, ...... Wow, this list keeps going on and on... surprised. Thanks Amy, I was having a crappy morning until this video :-)
The worst thing I ever did for myself was believe family members when they told me I didn't have my life together and that I needed to get it together before I could work on being successful. I replayed that part over and over. You know what part. Thank you, Amy.
I feel like everyone needs to know their "happy moments". Their moments of love (e.g. cuddling their pet), content (e.g. watching Netflix with a nice hot bowl of your favourite soup) or accomplishment (e.g. learning a new sketching technique). These moments are so precious and can make your day if you let them 💛🧡❤️ I looove coffee and mint in the shower. One of my happy moments is having an early morning shower, when the air is still crisp, with a coffee body scrub and a fresh minty toothpaste 😊
I really love that last tip about birthdays. I just started doing this with my coworkers, getting them something special on their special day and just acknowledging them goes a long way!
I became a university teacher this year, and what you say is soooo true! We don't know what we're doing, we're sort of "winging" a lot of things! We sit at lunch together and a very common comment is "i don't have a fucking clue". When I realized about three months ago that "everyone is just winging it", my stress lowered (it didn't disappear, but it lowered for sure)... what makes me feel like i have my shit together is making my bed in the morning (only started doing that about a month ago), meal prepping for at least 3 days of the week, "clinging" to the one minute rule (if it can be done in less than one minute, do it right away), and dressing a way that makes me feel both cute AND comfortable (a lot of short heels and a trench coat i love).
I definitely appreciate the not responding to texts right away. I found that when I would do that people on the other end just assumed I had an unlimited amount of time at my disposal to sit and chat with them and answer the questions immediately, then they'd have the gall to get upset with me if I was doing something terrible, like teaching my kids or spending time with my family, or actually working and living my life. That was one of the first things I had to do to actually get my life together. I only respond during certain times now. Scheduling when I respond to all social media, emails, etc., has been a gamechanger for me and lets others know I'm available, but have my priorities set right.
My tricks haha 1. Nails are always clean 2. Bullet Journal! 3. Check my e-mails at least daily 4. My desktop and whole PC file organization is immaculate and efficient Also 5. when you label your layers in Photoshop properly. Life together, right there!
One of my favorite videos that you made. Much of the advice given is useful for men as well as women. I find myself tidying up and preparing to wash my face as we speak. My extra tip: record a personalized voice mail message to take your calls and offer them menu options such as: Press 1 for lunch date requests, Press 2 to discuss the latest episode of The Blacklist, Press 3 if you are calling from an iPhone 8 or above.....etc etc
I really love your videos. Your content is fresh and meaningful. I'd love to have a video just about how to absorb information with so much content in our busy lives and how to actually learn and maybe reflect on it a little bit more. Love your vibes, you are gorgeous girl. Keep up the good work!
Today a coworker saw that I took my USB out of a little box where I keep all my USBs and little stuff like that and she said: You're really tidy and organized, and I was like WHAAAAAT, when on earth did I give the impression of being tidy and organized? And I realised that it's in the small things, and the details.
namaste The Prince who became known as buddha .. tried many religions until finally one day he said I am just gonna sit under this tree & I am not gonna move until I have figured it all out & I have my life together .. I love your energy it helps me smile thru' the bad times ... Good vibes to the tribe
As they say, "May your life always be as wonderful as you portray it to be on Facebook." Pahahhaaaa. TRUTH though - You DO seem to have your life together!!! Or at least you sure the heck fake through it enough to show US how to get our life together! Keep on keepin' on, Amy! You're such an inspiration! xoxo
I know your out of your house for the summer so I don't know if you'll get this message but... Thank you, Thank you. I need to hear this every day over and over. Another way I fool people I have it together is... I keep each room in my house to look presentable of someone were to visit and walk in and see it. Have a good summer.👍💜
I think I tricked people into thinking I've got my life together by wearing immaculate makeup and lovely dresses out/to work. Also dry shampoo does the trick. FOOLS!
@@labradoriteatheart is the view from your high horse nice? by "fools" (add a voice of a disney villain) i meant they have been fooled by me and my dry shampoo. it has nothing to do with their intelligence or them being inferior in any sort of way.
I really enjoy watching you, even though I'm old enough to be your mother..LOL. I really felt like I had my life in order when I was in my thirties because everything was going according to plan. But then my life feel apart. Now, I'm struggling to create a new dream. I guess for me, it is time to stop pleasing other people and convincing people that I have it together, I don't want to be co-dependent anymore.
I don't really know what to say in encouragement... but you can do this! Putting it out into the universe like this is sometimes a great first step. Sending good thoughts your way.
Honestly, this was a great video! I'm going to watch again, write the list down and post it at my desk or bathroom mirror. I love the last one, acknowledge others and their lives. So true. I wish people that a lot more. Thanks Amy!
thanking my customers, being involved in my work by asking about everything and updates, listening to music, being on my phone, planner on the kitchen table, buying things on bulk, listening to others and giving advice, being kind and respectful, smiling, singing, whistling and standing up for myself and my space and entity in the house against the jealous roommate, and keeping to myself at home from her and working and being respectful and welcoming to my new third roommate, walking, going to the bank and working on my financial organization:) and of course, playing with loving my cat.
LOVED this video. Loved hearing that no one know what they are doing. Also love all of these”life hacks.” I feel like I am on top of the world when I am on top of doing dishes. Not easy to do with kiddos but worth the struggle. 😊
WOOOAH Amy Beyoncé has way more hours in the day than I do because she can pay people to do a whole heck of a lot of things that I can’t afford to pay for. I understand the point you’re trying to make but pls understand that class plays a HUGE roll into how many hours you actually have available to you. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh man, if leggings are an indication that I don’t have my life together, there is truly no hope for me 😂 Pants can die in a fire. The only pants I wear are a)leggings and b)leggings masquerading as real pants by having belt loops and stuff
Really *really* enjoyed this one Amy. I smiled non-stop through out it and lol'd a few times. Been a grown-ass adult for good while now and yes--that is the key. No one knows what they doing--and YES the RELIEF! No one has their life fully together. I have pockets of my life that are together or for a while are together. And plenty that is not. Work hard, play nice, be kind. Here's my best tip--when folks come to you with their problems, wanting your work, your help, your investment, do this: Just listen to them. Remind yourself you do not need to fix things for them or make it all good for them, but in that moment, really give them your full attention and (if possible) sympathy. Honestly, that is usually all they ever need. Just to be heard... Peace out.
One thing that I would say I do that makes it look like I have my life together is to not rant. Especially on social media ugh. Also maybe to limit the time that I spend on those swipey apps. In my opinion, there's a lot more things to do with your time rather than spend it away mindlessly swiping that finger up and down any feed in Facebook or Snapchat or what have you.
Ive mention these topics on moving our bodies so important and another day alcohol free so i am on the right track watching your channel and many others i enjoy and getting me back to inspire myself inspiring and others
people whom i want to think that i have my life together... whenever they ask how i am i smile and say "great! how are you?" i feel it makes people think i have my life together bc it's so common to be like "fine" or "hangin in there", "great!" is so much more enthusiastic and empowered EDIT: how could i forget, batiste dry shampoo. also blazer + white tee shirt tucked in + jeans + ballet flats
The first three minutes of this video made me smile. 'Just wanted to say that. I don't think I'm convincing anyone that I have my life together, to be honest, including myself. I do have a pretty strict morning and evening routine, but that's about it. I want to start challenging myself to create more and consume less. I really like that idea. I'm already taking Amy's advice about moving my body.
If you’re not gonna move it, you’re gonna lose it! Amy you cracked me on that! But I totally agree that having at least 30 min of time for yourself than you don’t have a life. The first step to have your life together is to make sure you have one!
I will wear my leggings under sweaters, long shirts, dresses, and to work out in. Leggings for all occassions! Fight me. ;) But for real though, time and place. Under dresses and sweaters paired with boots can make for hella cute outfits. But for events you need to get dressed up for, maaaybe not.
You can wear leggings, I also do that all the time. I gave up on skinny jeans as I live in a hilly place and got obsessed with feeling comfy and wearing soft clothes. Wearing leggings as pants is different. The way you explain it sounds similar to me, wearing it as tights like under a dress or long shirt, that is perfectly fine. 😄
To have my life together I write out / plan everything that I can, but I also accept when things are out of my control. For example I can plan an outfit out the night before, but if the weather changes (which is out of my control) then I just have to adjust accordingly. Great video these tips are much needed especially while in college. Need all the help I can get😂💜
Yesss the texting is brilliant. I had to turn off notifications for texts so that I wouldn’t see them when they came in and felt immediately obligated to respond. Loved this video
Being true to yourself is the most important thing to do to be happy. In my observation, nowadays we are living in a world that feeds us what we want to see and not the true picture of what it really is. I was in a 9-5 life before and I thought that it was what will make me happy. But I felt that I need to do something else, I need to find my purpose. So then, I heard of affiliate marketing and immediately took action to learn it. Now I've been doing this for years and I love how I am helping others to earn passive income as I do.
Your "Big Sunglasses" tip is queen!! Story of my life = "I should leave the house and [insert here] today or do [insert here] errands...but then I have to commit to putting on makeup and making myself look presentable to the world...so..." Now if only it was socially acceptable to keep wearing them inside the store/bank/etc. ...
The top thing I do is to do things in time, meaning NOT the last evening before the deadline. If someone asks me when I can have something done I say a date that I definently will have it done and then I make an own deadline a few days before that date. Usually I can make it until my own deadline and people get positively surprised that I made it quicker than they thought OR I miss my own deadline but am still in time for the deadline I told them. I also do it with deadlines that I cannot controll, such as project deadlines for university: if possible I hand in my work as soon as possible and not sitting up until midnight one night to get it in, in time because I have procastinated it. Not only makes it seem like I have my life together, it also prevents stress which makes me feel like I know what I am doing. Even if I have the same amount of work to do, the risk of me being stressed out is lower if I do things in time and know that I in case of emergency I am before my schedule, so to say.
Thanks for your advice, some I already do, some I will add to my life. I think also an important thing is to ALWAYS be on time an ALWAYS be prepared for whatever you're going to do (meeting, rehearsal, ...)
I like the title of this subject. I want to get my life together. I don't need to be "ultra productive" all the time and have my life scheduled to the second. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to work.
One thing I do to keep my life together is decline invitations if they're from one day to another or even worse, the same day. If I'm inviting a friend to hang out I ask with 3-5 days of anticipation. Other thing I realize makes you look like you got it together is to not complain excesivily and to not gossip, Idk.. It seems like an inmature attitude. And I always keep my nails short, makes me feel in control.
I always show up 15/10 minutes early and OF COURSE face/hair/clothes neat and tidy, even if I rushed out the door that morning and making sure I look okay was the only thing I did before leaving 😂 ALSO, always make sure to have everything you’re going to need in your bag. I have a standard number of things that I put in my bag almost on autopilot now so I never forget anything 🙌🏻
Your channel is amazing, I saw you on an old interview you did with Evan Carmichael and it was so good I had to check out the channel. Glad I did, so much value
It's so weird being one of the first ones watching the video I feel I get a exclusive look that nobody else does,but I know that is not true. I really needed this thank you Amy for the advice.
Amy, you'll love, love, love lavender dish washing liquid ( I started using Dr. Bronner's). After standing for a short period of time, my back clenches and I'm done with dishes before they are done, but the lavender scent seems to relax me enough that I've been getting through that stack of dishes with no problem! Definitely worth a try! ❤🌅🌵
Loved this video! Totally get you! I think for me it would be to always brush your teeth and the way your hair looks. I don’t “do” my hair every day but at least brush it and put it on a pony tail so it’s not all over the place! Great inspiration here, thanks! You keep me going and working hard on my channel
After long time it happened ... first time RUclips suggested me to watch your video. My reaction was like, nop don’t need reminder for that 😂 , it’s officially life routine
@@ultravioletpisces3666 How can you create systems, enable them and tweak them for better results without discipline. You cannot achieve success if you do not have the discipline to stick to your plan of which systems; should be a part.
Hm, my tips: 1 - take a course or learn a craft/science beside work and socialising makes you look like you know who you are, what interests you, and you are conscious about your time - like nothing screams "never grew up" and "kinda out of control" more than having only work and alcohol and your partner and Netflix in your life. 2 - not complaining (especially about another person), and this is a reminder to me as well. My image is under control most of the time, but the moment I start complaining about something or someone it goes downhill pretty fast. That said I rarely do it, so that's why I notice when it happens, and it happens when I'm being directly asked about it and I have to answer, or when I get close enough to someone to be able show weakness, to pour my struggles out. But that person will never look at me the same, the respect gets a bit lower. Sometimes it seems like it can't be helped, like at work noticing a situation that's bad and it needs a change and I have to tell my supervisor or team leader about it so they can make a change. In that case I really try instead of going to the supervisor with nothing but complaint I go to the supervisor with suggestion already on how to make the situation better. So not just a plain negative one way complaint, take the fact that you noticed this is wrong and you have been thinking about it and here is how you think it can be improved. I have friends I can complain to, there are maximum five of them. It sometimes can take a bit of effort, especially because I don't like and can't lie so if someone directly asks me about something I can only complain about ... well, that's tricky. If I can't go around it I try to add 50% of good in there somehow, if nothing else than "... but the weather was so nice, I love it when it's sunny" and change the subject to a weekend or something, haha. The main point is: do not complain, it's gonna cause damage to your image even when you are right and the receiver end knows too and you both are on the same page, even then! It's gonna put you into a "victim of a situation" image and that's far from the "having it all together" image. Even when the situation is actually bad, try to figure out how to control it and come out on the other end as someone who solved that, not as someone who got broken by it. Noticing a bad situation is your chance to get it under control. It's not only not gonna ruin your image it will kick you further ahead. 'Been there, done that.
I'm not getting rid of my leggings. 😉 But I'm a writer and I spend most of my life alone in front of the computer. It works. One good way to look like you have your life together and feel good is to keep your car clean! Making your bed every day really does help, too. I also recently put together a capsule wardrobe, and it's been amazing! Everything can go with everything, so I always look and feel put together. And there's so much less clutter in my closet. Love it.
Loved the idea of this video! 😊 And such good tips - I can’t wait to try the artist date. 🎨🎶👍 I think the fact that I wear makeup and jewelry and am slightly minimalistic might give the general impression that I have my life together, because with five tiny children, those details can easily be put on the back burner. 😉
If I could accomplish all those tgubs things mentioned than that would be the definition of having my life together for me 🤭 One thing that always impresses people is when you remember random facts about them, then they feel like you really listened to them and like you care enough that you have actually spent time thinking about them
Hi Amy, I'm so glad I found your channel! I absolutely love what you have to share and am so excited to learn more and apply it to my life. So nobody knows what they're doing or has their life completely together. But this made me think, who are the people you can think of (famous people throughout history) who seem the closest to having their life together...and which areas do they most excel in (business, character, organization, spirituality, etc.) I would love to see some names of who people think of! Thanks!

“4, Yes! Never fell for the legging trend. Hence, #9 does not apply. Great list.
Omg you’re the best!
Tip if you don't want to spend a lot of money on a manicure or chip your polish a lot: use a nude nail polish and color them at home. I bought essie nail polishes (my 3 faves: limo-scene, ballet slippers, mademoiselle) and they look so cute. Nude is such a classy color. My friends noticed and complimented the color choice. It's an easy way out... cheap, fast and if you chip your polish no one will notice from far away.
I used to be in over apologizer. My husband told me "apologize once, mean it, and move on. Great advice!
deb clifford I love that! Great advice
Smart man! 👍🏻

Ewdy Cortez I totally agree! Good luck with everything! :)
Oooohhh yes I like this. And matching underwear
Perfect! Better than some of the tips on the video
@@Beepbeep_its_treasure matching undiz. Yes! And a nice coat or a stylish and practical pair of shoes!
(and pancakes in the morning)
Wearing earrings and perfume are definitely ones for me. I have to wear a uniform to work so earrings are one of the few things I can do for some individuality. I think it looks more polished.
I found a good tip on saying sorry too much. Say thank you instead. Instead of saying "sorry I'm late" say "thank you for waiting for me". Instead of thinking about your weight on the world think about how it holds you up 🥰 much love to all
I love this tip!
Wow this is great! I’m such an apologetic person
1) Get rid of old stuff/cluter.
2) Organize, organize, organize.
3) Perm press, iron, or starch your best/favorite clothes. You'll like the way you look. I guarantee it. (ba-dum-tiss)
3) DON'T over-accessorize. Keep it minimal.
4) MAKE YOUR BED!
5) Rearrange furniture (if you can)
6) LAUGH! Keep note of things that make you smile, laugh, and feel good. If it's a video, watch it. If it's a song, put it on repeat. If it's a book, take it with you everywhere, etc.
7) Pay your bills early (if you're able to, obviously)
8) Do some Volunteer work. This is advice for those who are unemployed and have all the hours of the day. Do something to better the lives of someone else. Helping others feels good and it makes you feel accomplished when you know you've worked hard and your work is appreciated.
9) Don't tell everyone you know every detail of your life. Don't word vomit your troubles and heartaches. Remember that they can't fix everything. Be mindful and respectful of everyone's hurts & needs.
10) Be compassionate.
11) Self ref;ect and ask yourself questoins on your own behavior, feelings, or actions that may or may not have been beneficial, overreactive, or neccesarry to whatever situation is happening around you.
12) Be gracious with yourself. Let go of self-degradation. Learn to love yourself (not IN love with yourself- that's not cool). Don't be so hard on yourself and let loose every once in a while.
Red Warrior613 number 3. Yes! Taking care of your clothes is an investment in your life spiritually and physically. An afternoon of ironing while watching a girly moving is great self care
Great ideas. Thanks!
1.Everyone thinks I have my life together because my nails are always done, and 2. my SHOES ARE ALWAYS CLEAN! This is HUGE! If you have ratty shoes your whole outfit is ruined even if you have the nicest clothes on. Even if the shoes aren’t expensive - If they’re nice and clean you look the part. Same thing with lint or dog hair on your clothes, lint roll your clothes people! It makes such a huge difference
I keep thinking of more, bare with me; keep it simple with jewelry! If you’re trying to show off your earrings wear a tiny necklace. Big necklace; wear studs. Showing off a bracelet, don’t go crazy with the rings. It’s all about balance. If you’re trying too hard it will be evident to everyone that you are. So keep it simple and classy.
Last thing. Watches. I personally have an Apple Watch, but, any watch will help you get your life actually together, AND help you look the part. Half of the time before I had a watch when I was looking at my phone I was checking the time. Once the time was easily accessible to me via my watch all the time, it was easier to manage my tasks at home, and at work.
I totally agree on keeping shoes clean. It's really the little details that matter
If someone asks me to attend an event or a meeting I get the details and tell them I'll check my calendar and let them know. Unless it's a family thing then I usually know right away if I can do it. Making someone wait for your RSVP (but keep it timely) lets them know that your time is valuable and can make it look at least like you have a life. For those of us introverts that need time to prepare the energy to go out and mingle.
I love this idea!
Ooh this is a great idea although I already know I’ll probably say no to 99% of things lol
One thing I think shows having your life together is being punctual! Even I impress myself when I’m on time to things lol
On time is late and early is on time...
THIS
That said, I'm usually late-late. But it took me a lot of years (decades) to realize that aiming to be *on time* is a recipe for being late. You *have* to aim to be about 1/2 early and reverse engineer. (Which in my case might get me 15-5 minutes early if I'm lucky and is really hard for me, as a person with ADD.)
But just realizing that aiming to be there "on time" was a recipe for disaster was quite an eye opener.
Ultraviolet Morgan I totally get that! I used to have the worse time management skills and would always be showing up late to things (including work 😅) I usually aim for 10-15 minutes earlier and that way if I am running late I’m actually on time lol but it’s crazy how different things go when you are early/on time! Definitely a life changer!
The things that make me feel like I have my life together are:
1. Always having a pen in my bag
2. Sending thank you cards
3. Writing follow up emails
4. Carrying a drink bottle
5. Doing anything more than just a bun with my hair.
Clever ideas! Big sunglasses - YES! Washing your face - YES! I love the stationary idea! I think getting ready for the day right away is the NUMBER ONE TRICK to feeling like you have your life together. Of course, I haven't yet mastered how to make that happen with three kiddos. 🤷♀️
"Nobody really knows what the heck they're doing." 😅 #preach It's all about balance. Yes, girl. 🙌
Love how you said that if you don't have time for yourself, you don't have a life. It's important not only to take care of yourself but to really be aware of where you are, to reflect, and to give yourself the time you deserve. I love the idea of going on dates by yourself and have done this one. You can experience life on your own and enjoy it just as much, if not more. Cheers!
Cheers
What makes me feel put together 1. planning out my week 2. putting on a little make up and actually brushing my hair LOL #momlife 3. Getting up before I HAVE to. 4. Putting on some earrings :)
I shaved my head so I don't have to brush my hair
"Limit Consumption and increase creation" OMG, I am putting that on the wall next to my desk! Thank you!
Some tricks I use to make people think I got my life together is by always being on time or show up early. Another great tip is to bring sticky notes and notecards. They are little and quick to get out and are always great to write something down for later and make you seem well organized. My last trick that seems to make alot of people think I am organized is to bring a water bottle I use the CamelBak eddy I always carry it with me just in case I get thirsty because I live in Texas and it gets hot here.
If you carry a clip board people think you are important and have your shit together
watching Amy makes me feel like I have my life together
Love how you and muchelleb are both getting your life together in your recent videos! What a coincidence 😄
Natasha i 💚 muchelle b
what is the connection? i think i missed something...
julia saccente Amy recommended her in a couple videos! That’s how I got to watching her channel as well 😊
This is my favorite version of Amy ever!!!
Knowing what I’m going to eat and have it prepared before I’m starving makes me feel like I’ve got my life together.
"Pretty much nobody has a clue what they're doing." That was oddly comforting!
Additionally: That track suit jacket with that makeup is FIYAH!
UPDATE: OK Socials, I’ve washed my face, started my nighttime shutdown ritual, got my lemon water ready at bedside, rubbed on my Bath & Body Works Stress Relief Lotion, taken my herbal stress relief tincture, turned on the diffuser with lemon essential oils... Can anyone recommend a great eye makeup remover? I can never get all of my Fenty eyeshadow and Kat Von D eyeliner off!
tvdavis coconut oil or cliniqes eye makeup remover 😊
I've been using Pond's cold cream *forever*. It is really affordable, lasts a very long time because you don't need much, and is able to get all of my eyeliner off (I wear a lot of eyeliner). :)
I really, REALLY needed to hear that bit about standing by your decisions and trusting your gut! The timing couldn't have been better.... Despite it being indirect, I can't express how much I have been needing to hear someone else reaffirm that for me. 🙏🏻
For me is wearing a little bit of make up and smile and be nice! Smiling and looking "happy" is very powerful.
Here are my notes:
1. Stop letting other people decide how together you are.
-You have to build self-confidence and self-reliance.
2. Make time for yourself.
-Treat yo self and date yourself (can do artist date below, haha).
-You have to love yourself.
3. Go on an artist's date (go to a museum, movies, take a walk)
.
-My favorite place to go to the park and hike. Love the ideas.
4. Limit consumption, increase creation.
-Give good content to your network and to the world.
-Share your thoughts with others.
5. Outer order is inner calm
-very true. Keep an organized workspace and home, as it will help you to relax and find what you need when you need it.
6. Move your but
t.
-exercise every day.
7. Limit alcohol consumption.
-What's alcohol? lol. Ewww, gross.
8. Don't replay to texts immediately.
-It can wait. Focus on what needs to be done in the now.
9. Stop wearing leggings as pants
.
-leggings are so comfy, but also a little trashy if taken to the extreme and out of context.
10. Wash your face
.
-and practice good hygiene in general. Ewww, you don't want to make yourself sick and you don't want to age fasters.
11. Stop over- apologizing.
-Why are you so sorry for the smallest things or for being yourself? Show your self-confidence or work on building more of it up.
12. Make your own decisions.
-You are an adult, or soon to be an adult. Rather, you have your own right to make decisions about what you want to do in life.
13. Big Sunglasses. 😎
-You are so cool. Be even cooler and safer from UV protection.
14. Get things done with calendar blocking
.
-stay organized, productive, and on time!
15. Use personalized stationary.
-so cute and handy. People will know that it is you.
16. Acknowledge birthdays.
-Your friends and family are very important. Let them know that they are too you.
Yes!! Don’t wear leggings as pants!!!!
Also, I feel like I have my life together when my house is clean (and I stick to my weekly cleaning schedule), things are at least tidy before I go to bed (so I wake up in the morning and don’t have to look around and get ready in a mess), and having meals prepped for the week! I’ve also had a decent bedtime routine for the past few weeks, and that has helped as well!
Actual content mentioned in the title starts at 5:51.
Erin Stigers thank you
Thanks!!
Waking up super early and sleeping early makes me feel like I have it all together. Planning my week in advance, keeping a journal, handwriting a lot, reading, not talking too much, sticking to a consistent dressing and makeup style, cooking my own food, ...... Wow, this list keeps going on and on... surprised.
Thanks Amy, I was having a crappy morning until this video :-)
The worst thing I ever did for myself was believe family members when they told me I didn't have my life together and that I needed to get it together before I could work on being successful. I replayed that part over and over. You know what part. Thank you, Amy.
I feel like everyone needs to know their "happy moments". Their moments of love (e.g. cuddling their pet), content (e.g. watching Netflix with a nice hot bowl of your favourite soup) or accomplishment (e.g. learning a new sketching technique). These moments are so precious and can make your day if you let them 💛🧡❤️
I looove coffee and mint in the shower. One of my happy moments is having an early morning shower, when the air is still crisp, with a coffee body scrub and a fresh minty toothpaste 😊
I really love that last tip about birthdays. I just started doing this with my coworkers, getting them something special on their special day and just acknowledging them goes a long way!
Thank you for making me not feel guilty about not replying to text right away... I need to mentally prepare my responses! 🤣
I would really appreciate and love e a video on how to keep a routine and getting things you have to do done under extremely stressful circumstances .
I became a university teacher this year, and what you say is soooo true! We don't know what we're doing, we're sort of "winging" a lot of things! We sit at lunch together and a very common comment is "i don't have a fucking clue". When I realized about three months ago that "everyone is just winging it", my stress lowered (it didn't disappear, but it lowered for sure)... what makes me feel like i have my shit together is making my bed in the morning (only started doing that about a month ago), meal prepping for at least 3 days of the week, "clinging" to the one minute rule (if it can be done in less than one minute, do it right away), and dressing a way that makes me feel both cute AND comfortable (a lot of short heels and a trench coat i love).
I definitely appreciate the not responding to texts right away. I found that when I would do that people on the other end just assumed I had an unlimited amount of time at my disposal to sit and chat with them and answer the questions immediately, then they'd have the gall to get upset with me if I was doing something terrible, like teaching my kids or spending time with my family, or actually working and living my life. That was one of the first things I had to do to actually get my life together. I only respond during certain times now. Scheduling when I respond to all social media, emails, etc., has been a gamechanger for me and lets others know I'm available, but have my priorities set right.
My tricks haha
1. Nails are always clean
2. Bullet Journal!
3. Check my e-mails at least daily
4. My desktop and whole PC file organization is immaculate and efficient
Also 5. when you label your layers in Photoshop properly. Life together, right there!
One of my favorite videos that you made. Much of the advice given is useful for men as well as women. I find myself tidying up and preparing to wash my face as we speak.
My extra tip: record a personalized voice mail message to take your calls and offer them menu options such as: Press 1 for lunch date requests, Press 2 to discuss the latest episode of The Blacklist, Press 3 if you are calling from an iPhone 8 or above.....etc etc
I really love your videos. Your content is fresh and meaningful. I'd love to have a video just about how to absorb information with so much content in our busy lives and how to actually learn and maybe reflect on it a little bit more. Love your vibes, you are gorgeous girl. Keep up the good work!
Today a coworker saw that I took my USB out of a little box where I keep all my USBs and little stuff like that and she said: You're really tidy and organized, and I was like WHAAAAAT, when on earth did I give the impression of being tidy and organized? And I realised that it's in the small things, and the details.
Adri Torres I’m super tidy and organised at work but at home I’m a hot mess lol it’s all about balance.
namaste The Prince who became known as buddha .. tried many religions until finally one day he said I am just gonna sit under this tree & I am not gonna move until I have figured it all out & I have my life together .. I love your energy it helps me smile thru' the bad times ... Good vibes to the tribe
I've been on a Gretchen Rubin binge lately. Currently reading Better Than Before and picking up so much good info!
As they say, "May your life always be as wonderful as you portray it to be on Facebook." Pahahhaaaa. TRUTH though - You DO seem to have your life together!!! Or at least you sure the heck fake through it enough to show US how to get our life together! Keep on keepin' on, Amy! You're such an inspiration! xoxo
When are you going to make another video Sunny?
@@coachofconduct2970 hopefully soon! I so enjoy it but find little time to squeeze it in.
I know your out of your house for the summer so I don't know if you'll get this message but... Thank you, Thank you. I need to hear this every day over and over. Another way I fool people I have it together is... I keep each room in my house to look presentable of someone were to visit and walk in and see it. Have a good summer.👍💜
I think I tricked people into thinking I've got my life together by wearing immaculate makeup and lovely dresses out/to work. Also dry shampoo does the trick. FOOLS!
Yes for the dry shampoo, 2nd (or third) day hair; I'll never tell. LOL
@kelly oh wow, I get to day 7 hair often haha
@@nannibunni Same here. Ponytails are my life line at that point.
Dry shampoo 🙌🙌
@@labradoriteatheart is the view from your high horse nice? by "fools" (add a voice of a disney villain) i meant they have been fooled by me and my dry shampoo. it has nothing to do with their intelligence or them being inferior in any sort of way.
I really enjoy watching you, even though I'm old enough to be your mother..LOL. I really felt like I had my life in order when I was in my thirties because everything was going according to plan. But then my life feel apart. Now, I'm struggling to create a new dream. I guess for me, it is time to stop pleasing other people and convincing people that I have it together, I don't want to be co-dependent anymore.
I don't really know what to say in encouragement... but you can do this! Putting it out into the universe like this is sometimes a great first step. Sending good thoughts your way.
@@Deamonfly Thanks!!!!
Honestly, this was a great video! I'm going to watch again, write the list down and post it at my desk or bathroom mirror. I love the last one, acknowledge others and their lives. So true. I wish people that a lot more. Thanks Amy!
thanking my customers, being involved in my work by asking about everything and updates, listening to music, being on my phone, planner on the kitchen table, buying things on bulk, listening to others and giving advice, being kind and respectful, smiling, singing, whistling and standing up for myself and my space and entity in the house against the jealous roommate, and keeping to myself at home from her and working and being respectful and welcoming to my new third roommate, walking, going to the bank and working on my financial organization:) and of course, playing with loving my cat.
I love your witty & uplifting personality.. I was in a weird mood tonight and this video cheered me up.. love you and this channel!
LOVED this video. Loved hearing that no one know what they are doing. Also love all of these”life hacks.” I feel like I am on top of the world when I am on top of doing dishes. Not easy to do with kiddos but worth the struggle. 😊
WOOOAH Amy Beyoncé has way more hours in the day than I do because she can pay people to do a whole heck of a lot of things that I can’t afford to pay for. I understand the point you’re trying to make but pls understand that class plays a HUGE roll into how many hours you actually have available to you. ❤️❤️❤️
I wish I could like this comment more than once.
Oh man, if leggings are an indication that I don’t have my life together, there is truly no hope for me 😂 Pants can die in a fire. The only pants I wear are a)leggings and b)leggings masquerading as real pants by having belt loops and stuff
SAME - I don't own any other form of pants. Fuck leg prisons. I'm not going to be uncomfortable because someone else has an opinion on.....pants.
Yep, i'm on board with all the other life hacks. You can have my leggings when you pry them off my cold, dead body.
Totally agree, leggings are my lifeline, I always wear them , and I’m not changing that to please anyone else !
Really *really* enjoyed this one Amy. I smiled non-stop through out it and lol'd a few times. Been a grown-ass adult for good while now and yes--that is the key. No one knows what they doing--and YES the RELIEF! No one has their life fully together. I have pockets of my life that are together or for a while are together. And plenty that is not. Work hard, play nice, be kind. Here's my best tip--when folks come to you with their problems, wanting your work, your help, your investment, do this: Just listen to them. Remind yourself you do not need to fix things for them or make it all good for them, but in that moment, really give them your full attention and (if possible) sympathy. Honestly, that is usually all they ever need. Just to be heard... Peace out.
One thing that I would say I do that makes it look like I have my life together is to not rant. Especially on social media ugh. Also maybe to limit the time that I spend on those swipey apps. In my opinion, there's a lot more things to do with your time rather than spend it away mindlessly swiping that finger up and down any feed in Facebook or Snapchat or what have you.
Roa Ravenclaw
I agree
swipping can become very addictive
Ive mention these topics on moving our bodies so important and another day alcohol free so i am on the right track watching your channel and many others i enjoy and getting me back to inspire myself inspiring and others
I don’t know what it is about the last few videos but I’m all about the vibe, you keep doing you ✨
Got here before my notification, ha. Your videos are my favorite of all RUclips💙. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
Love it!!!!! Hello, Argentina!
To Do Lists!! My go to for feeling like I have it all together is a daily to do list!!
people whom i want to think that i have my life together... whenever they ask how i am i smile and say "great! how are you?" i feel it makes people think i have my life together bc it's so common to be like "fine" or "hangin in there", "great!" is so much more enthusiastic and empowered
EDIT: how could i forget, batiste dry shampoo. also blazer + white tee shirt tucked in + jeans + ballet flats
Just want to say, your smile lines are extremely cute. Think i'm the only guy who likes smiles lines. They're are so charming.
The first three minutes of this video made me smile. 'Just wanted to say that. I don't think I'm convincing anyone that I have my life together, to be honest, including myself. I do have a pretty strict morning and evening routine, but that's about it. I want to start challenging myself to create more and consume less. I really like that idea. I'm already taking Amy's advice about moving my body.
If you’re not gonna move it, you’re gonna lose it! Amy you cracked me on that! But I totally agree that having at least 30 min of time for yourself than you don’t have a life. The first step to have your life together is to make sure you have one!
I make sure the front walk, porch, door and entry hall are clean. No papers laying around. plantings watered and healthy, shoes taken care of.
I will wear my leggings under sweaters, long shirts, dresses, and to work out in. Leggings for all occassions! Fight me. ;)
But for real though, time and place. Under dresses and sweaters paired with boots can make for hella cute outfits. But for events you need to get dressed up for, maaaybe not.
You can wear leggings, I also do that all the time. I gave up on skinny jeans as I live in a hilly place and got obsessed with feeling comfy and wearing soft clothes. Wearing leggings as pants is different. The way you explain it sounds similar to me, wearing it as tights like under a dress or long shirt, that is perfectly fine. 😄
“Cross my heart and hand to my Burn Book” is my new favorite conversational aside 😂
Love the beginning of this and the wise advice that no one really knows what they are doing. Thanks 💜
To have my life together I write out / plan everything that I can, but I also accept when things are out of my control. For example I can plan an outfit out the night before, but if the weather changes (which is out of my control) then I just have to adjust accordingly. Great video these tips are much needed especially while in college. Need all the help I can get😂💜
being on time and being intentional with everything !! love this video and you as always !
Yesss the texting is brilliant. I had to turn off notifications for texts so that I wouldn’t see them when they came in and felt immediately obligated to respond. Loved this video
I absolutely love your new intro music!
Being true to yourself is the most important thing to do to be happy. In my observation, nowadays we are living in a world that feeds us what we want to see and not the true picture of what it really is. I was in a 9-5 life before and I thought that it was what will make me happy. But I felt that I need to do something else, I need to find my purpose. So then, I heard of affiliate marketing and immediately took action to learn it. Now I've been doing this for years and I love how I am helping others to earn passive income as I do.
Your "Big Sunglasses" tip is queen!! Story of my life = "I should leave the house and [insert here] today or do [insert here] errands...but then I have to commit to putting on makeup and making myself look presentable to the world...so..." Now if only it was socially acceptable to keep wearing them inside the store/bank/etc. ...
The top thing I do is to do things in time, meaning NOT the last evening before the deadline. If someone asks me when I can have something done I say a date that I definently will have it done and then I make an own deadline a few days before that date. Usually I can make it until my own deadline and people get positively surprised that I made it quicker than they thought OR I miss my own deadline but am still in time for the deadline I told them. I also do it with deadlines that I cannot controll, such as project deadlines for university: if possible I hand in my work as soon as possible and not sitting up until midnight one night to get it in, in time because I have procastinated it.
Not only makes it seem like I have my life together, it also prevents stress which makes me feel like I know what I am doing. Even if I have the same amount of work to do, the risk of me being stressed out is lower if I do things in time and know that I in case of emergency I am before my schedule, so to say.
Thanks for your advice, some I already do, some I will add to my life. I think also an important thing is to ALWAYS be on time an ALWAYS be prepared for whatever you're going to do (meeting, rehearsal, ...)
I’m living for your take on things, thank you for sharing your thoughts! You’re a breath of fresh air, congrats on this awesome blog.
I like the title of this subject. I want to get my life together. I don't need to be "ultra productive" all the time and have my life scheduled to the second. It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to work.
Great video as always👍🏼💕 love it❤️
.
Mine are:
Putting a little bit of makeup, waking up early, working out, paying bills on time and meal prep😊
I get the sentiment... but can we please acknowledge Beyoncé has an entire TEAM to help her get it done? 😉
Other people have lives, too after their work for Beyoncé
I completely agree with you about the leggings as pants thing!
One thing I do to keep my life together is decline invitations if they're from one day to another or even worse, the same day. If I'm inviting a friend to hang out I ask with 3-5 days of anticipation. Other thing I realize makes you look like you got it together is to not complain excesivily and to not gossip, Idk.. It seems like an inmature attitude. And I always keep my nails short, makes me feel in control.
I always show up 15/10 minutes early and OF COURSE face/hair/clothes neat and tidy, even if I rushed out the door that morning and making sure I look okay was the only thing I did before leaving 😂
ALSO, always make sure to have everything you’re going to need in your bag. I have a standard number of things that I put in my bag almost on autopilot now so I never forget anything 🙌🏻
Your channel is amazing, I saw you on an old interview you did with Evan Carmichael and it was so good I had to check out the channel. Glad I did, so much value
👏🏻 I love Amy! Check out her podcast, too 😊
@@UltraHuman Thanks Rachel, will do
It's so weird being one of the first ones watching the video I feel I get a exclusive look that nobody else does,but I know that is not true. I really needed this thank you Amy for the advice.
Awww it's as exclusive as it feels to you. I love that you say that.
This was your best video yet!
The “wash your face” segment is my favorite thing I’ve seen all day 😂😂😂
Amy, you'll love, love, love lavender dish washing liquid ( I started using Dr. Bronner's). After standing for a short period of time, my back clenches and I'm done with dishes before they are done, but the lavender scent seems to relax me enough that I've been getting through that stack of dishes with no problem! Definitely worth a try! ❤🌅🌵
Love the idea of an artist date. I have a once a month self care date and it is the best feeling ever!!
This is amazing content!!! I almost cried at the advice you gave us, you have no idea how much I needed this.
Just love your videos Amy! Way to go being authentic and a great personality with fantastic input! Thanks for everything! 💕✨
Loved this video! Totally get you! I think for me it would be to always brush your teeth and the way your hair looks. I don’t “do” my hair every day but at least brush it and put it on a pony tail so it’s not all over the place! Great inspiration here, thanks! You keep me going and working hard on my channel
Having my house cleaned, organized everyday is a way of telling people I have my life together
Love you Amy. So much positive and honesty. Thank you.
After long time it happened ... first time RUclips suggested me to watch your video. My reaction was like, nop don’t need reminder for that 😂 , it’s officially life routine
Only way to do that is by using
*discipline*
Preach!
Aah!
You!
You!
Potty mouth! 🤣
No
*systems*
@@ultravioletpisces3666
How can you create systems, enable them and tweak them for better results without discipline.
You cannot achieve success if you do not have the discipline to stick to your plan of which systems; should be a part.
@@scotttovey it's the other way, actually. It's been pretty much proven... But I'm not gonna try to convince you, I'm just letting you know.
Hm, my tips:
1 - take a course or learn a craft/science beside work and socialising makes you look like you know who you are, what interests you, and you are conscious about your time - like nothing screams "never grew up" and "kinda out of control" more than having only work and alcohol and your partner and Netflix in your life.
2 - not complaining (especially about another person), and this is a reminder to me as well. My image is under control most of the time, but the moment I start complaining about something or someone it goes downhill pretty fast. That said I rarely do it, so that's why I notice when it happens, and it happens when I'm being directly asked about it and I have to answer, or when I get close enough to someone to be able show weakness, to pour my struggles out. But that person will never look at me the same, the respect gets a bit lower. Sometimes it seems like it can't be helped, like at work noticing a situation that's bad and it needs a change and I have to tell my supervisor or team leader about it so they can make a change. In that case I really try instead of going to the supervisor with nothing but complaint I go to the supervisor with suggestion already on how to make the situation better. So not just a plain negative one way complaint, take the fact that you noticed this is wrong and you have been thinking about it and here is how you think it can be improved. I have friends I can complain to, there are maximum five of them. It sometimes can take a bit of effort, especially because I don't like and can't lie so if someone directly asks me about something I can only complain about ... well, that's tricky. If I can't go around it I try to add 50% of good in there somehow, if nothing else than "... but the weather was so nice, I love it when it's sunny" and change the subject to a weekend or something, haha. The main point is: do not complain, it's gonna cause damage to your image even when you are right and the receiver end knows too and you both are on the same page, even then! It's gonna put you into a "victim of a situation" image and that's far from the "having it all together" image. Even when the situation is actually bad, try to figure out how to control it and come out on the other end as someone who solved that, not as someone who got broken by it. Noticing a bad situation is your chance to get it under control. It's not only not gonna ruin your image it will kick you further ahead. 'Been there, done that.
I discovered you today and i am verry happy!I aggree with the most and i needed your videos and tips right now!!Thank you !!

I'm not getting rid of my leggings. 😉 But I'm a writer and I spend most of my life alone in front of the computer. It works. One good way to look like you have your life together and feel good is to keep your car clean! Making your bed every day really does help, too. I also recently put together a capsule wardrobe, and it's been amazing! Everything can go with everything, so I always look and feel put together. And there's so much less clutter in my closet. Love it.
At home is fine. in public other than a fitness class...not fine.
Loved the idea of this video! 😊 And such good tips - I can’t wait to try the artist date. 🎨🎶👍 I think the fact that I wear makeup and jewelry and am slightly minimalistic might give the general impression that I have my life together, because with five tiny children, those details can easily be put on the back burner. 😉
This might be out of the topic, but, I love her hairstyle so much.
If I could accomplish all those tgubs things mentioned than that would be the definition of having my life together for me 🤭
One thing that always impresses people is when you remember random facts about them, then they feel like you really listened to them and like you care enough that you have actually spent time thinking about them
I don’t how how that random word got in there and how to remove it haha
Hi Amy, I'm so glad I found your channel! I absolutely love what you have to share and am so excited to learn more and apply it to my life.
So nobody knows what they're doing or has their life completely together. But this made me think, who are the people you can think of (famous people throughout history) who seem the closest to having their life together...and which areas do they most excel in (business, character, organization, spirituality, etc.) I would love to see some names of who people think of! Thanks!
Turning on the notification bell is the best thing I’ve ever done 😄😄 love these tips, and the wizard of oz quote 😂
You give the best advice ever
Awww you're too kind
