Productivity Tip of the Week

I’ve talked about it the past 2 weeks, but the Habit Tracker app is still holding me so accountable with my productivity levels lately.  Just knowing I get to check my habits off the app every day keeps me on track throughout my day.  

Download the app “Habit Tracker” https://apps.apple.com/us/app/habit-tracker/id1438388363

I love that every habit is completely customizable and you can choose how many days a week you want to complete the habit, and when you want the app to remind you, if at all.  It is so fun to complete all the habits because it gives you a celebratory message with confetti at the end, and provides a nice little reward to look forward to! Just knowing that I want to keep the streak alive is all I need to keep it up.  

Motivational/Inspirational Message of the Week

Don’t be so hard on yourself! I have finally achieved a happy balance of being hard on myself and being super productive and taking it easy and relaxing.  I’ve learned so much, especially about being a female, about hormonal changes during the month and how we have not only a 24 hour clock, but also a 28 day clock.  What this means is, you are not going to have the same levels of motivation and productivity every single day.  After learning that, I felt like a whole new person! I realized that I shouldn’t expect to feel the same level of motivation every day, and I stopped forcing myself to keep up with my high productivity levels during a low energy phase of my cycle.  

Honestly it really just helps knowing that I can work with my own hormonal swings and it keeps me motivated when I don’t feel like I’m letting myself down for no reason… if that makes sense? I’m able to give myself more grace and get right back “on the horse” when I’m ready again. 

Outfit Favorites of the Week

Barefoot dreams has been on repeat lately! It’s been super chilly here in NC lately and I’ve been living in my circle cardigan both in the house and running errands.  I’ve been so in love with it that I also just purchased this new QVC version of the cardigan, with these adorable cabling details.  It’s a more relaxed fit, and I purchased it in cream.  It’s originally $194 but on sale for $85 now! Both are linked below:

Books I’m Loving

I’m back to finishing Atomic Habits, but I’ve been focused on reviewing the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility because it’s the complete guide to Fertility Awareness Method and charting, which is what I am now doing!

Anything Else I have to tell you! 

Black Friday is coming up and I have to remind you all- you don’t need anything! It’s soooo easy (especially for me) to get caught up in all the hype of sale shopping and thinking you need everything all at once.  I have only been purchasing the things I really needed way before the sale happened.  Just a friendly reminder that everything on sale is just a “thing” and won’t make you happier necessarily.
