Productivity Tip of the Week

I don’t find it odd that the days I stay off Instagram I’m way more productive.  I’ve been pretty silent on Instagram more and more this year and that’s because my focus is on maximizing my productivity so I can enjoy more relaxation.  My focus has also been on YouTube mainly, and Instagram is a MAJOR distraction! I have to limit my Instagram time and that helps me stay focused and on task. 

Put your phone away when you are needing to focus on something.  When I edit my videos every day, I keep my phone in another room until my time is up and I have gotten so ahead of my YouTube videos and scheduling because of that!

Motivational/Inspirational Message of the Week

Every decision you make compounds throughout your day.  If I decide to skip a workout, I’m probably going to decide to eat something unhealthy later.  If I make myself do my workout or run, I feel so much better and more productive, and I make better decisions with my meals later in the day. 

When I made the decision to edit my videos and publish this post before any “fun” activities (like shopping with my mom) I’m going to feel more productive and successful for the rest of the day.  I’ll eat better because I didn’t skip a workout, and I’ll feel more inclined to edit reels or plan future videos since I already feel productive.  

Outfit Favorites of the Week

I recently took the plunge on the super popular Lululemon Scuba Hoodie, and love it.  I used gift cards for it from Christmas and I thought it would be too expensive for a hoodie, but boy was I wrong! I’m obsessed with this thing and it’s so warm I highly recommend if you’re looking for a good crop hoodie to wear.  I got the color “Heathered Core Ultra Light Grey”.

Spring Abercrombie Haul: 

Abercrombie is 25% off right now, so it’s a perfect time to purchase!

Books I’m Loving

I have Kindle Unlimited for free until April, so I’ve been trying to read only books that are free with Kindle Unlimited while I have it.  I downloaded an EIGHT PART series from Lucy Score called “A Small Town Love Story (Blue Moon Book 1)” and I’m loving it so far.  It’s 8 novels, all over 300 pages and super cute, light books to read.  

Anything Else I have to tell you! 

We got new floors this week!! I was really thrown off my schedule since we couldn’t sleep in our house for 3 nights (the dust was so bad I couldn’t breathe) and I had to work at my mom’s house with no office, so I felt really out of place.  I kept to my habits, though, and that’s all because of the Habit tracker app I’ve been using to stay accountable. I’ll link the app site here: 

Xoxo, Jess
