chapters 🪼

let's talk about the perfect routine and the negative effects of it.

how to be productive without being overwhelmed.

tips that worked for me and tips that didn't work for me.

there are other isms???

chapter one 🍀🌷🍏🩷

first of all, what is a perfect routine?

chatGPT gave me a short explanation about it and i also asked about the negative side, here is the answer :

A perfect routine is a balance between productivity and self-care. It includes time for work, exercise, learning, and relaxation. Flexibility is key, allowing space for creativity and rest. Small, consistent habits shape long-term success. The best routine is the one that makes you feel fulfilled and energized.

A "perfect" routine can become restrictive and stressful. The pressure to be productive all the time may lead to burnout. Lack of spontaneity can make life feel dull and repetitive. Missing a task might cause guilt instead of motivation. Balance is important, but so is embracing imperfection.

and this lack of motivation actually happened to me and i felt guilty for not completing some tasks, so you can trust me when i say that i know an actual routine that can help you like it helps me everyday, the first step is : embracing imperfection, just like chatGPT answered for me.

this video that i am using as a recommendation is actually for my first tip :

☆ consume content that aligns with your goals, for example: being more present on wonyoungism.

When you constantly consume visual content of what you want to do, little by little your subconscious will understand that you can also do what you see in those videos, it's like an invisible motivation, and actually i've been doing this for two years, and it's not just for wonyoungism, it's for studies, for workouts, literally everything, i even get motivated to organize my space just by watching videos about it, so it works.

“but in the video everything looks perfect”

trust me, i know that it looks like a perfect routine, but that's what i wanted to talk about, it's the main reason i wrote all of this, i wanted to let you know that they have a reality different from yours but that doesn't mean you need to ignore them, you can get inspired and adapt everything to your reality, it's okay if you don't have a lot of skin care, i don't have either and the basic works really well for me, it's okay if you don't have everything they have, so i wanted to suggest something we can do together : grab a pen and paper and write down everything you have, and then watch this video and write down things you wanted to have but can't have at the moment. once you've made this list, try to adapt it to your reality.

like for me it's: they have a table where they study, a vanity where they get ready and i don't, so i'll find what i already have here, like a smaller mirror and put it in a place of my choice, and it's in this place where i'm going to get ready for the day and to study i can sit at the table in the kitchen and study/write my daily journaling prompt.

see? it's way better finding solutions than starting to complain about what you have and what you don't.

and that's it for chapter one, if you didn't understand a single thing, you can send me an ask and i'll try to help you.

chapter two 🍀🌷🍏🩷

this was actually my journal prompt for today, and my answer was simple, how can i change my routine to something that doesn't overwhelm me? well, i can adapt what i want to my reality, stop trying to copy and paste those routines to my reality because they don't match, that's basically a little bit of my answer, and that actually gave me the idea to write this mini chapter, i want everyone to know what works and how to do it, so let's dive into this !

don't feel guilty for not being able to complete a task !

easier said than done, but when i started doing this i realized that my routine was never bad, i was the one making it looking bad just because i had 10 tasks for the day and only completed 5, considering it a lost day, when i actually did some of my tasks, but of course i didn't notice that and blamed myself for not being able to keep up with an insane routine, i was writing tasks that didn't fit my reality and that i didn't had enough resources to do it, so i started to reduce my tasks and that made me feel not guilty, because i actually complete my tasks, and if i don't do one thing i actually don't blame myself anymore, this positive effect won't happen overnight, but if you keep trying, it will happen little by little for example, my process took a whole year.

define what is really productive for you

It's kind of a trap to set yourself something you can't do and then feel bad about not being able to do it, I've already put things like doing workouts that go beyond my endurance instead of doing them little by little until I reach that level, just because I saw that in this random perfect routine, so I started to put things that i actually like to do, pilates or yoga, stretching and a light workout, and it works better ! i don't feel overwhelmed, and as a result, i feel like i am more productive this way, because i actually focus and do everything because i enjoy it, not because i feel pressured to do it, i 100% recommend this tip.

i know there are just two tips, but like i said, it's not to overwhelm yourself, but rather so that you can really focus and do it, and really notice your progress.

chapter three 🍀🌷🍏🩷

what worked for me :

adapt the tasks to my reality

a to-do list without too many tasks

more time to focus on what i have to do than tasks

what didn't work :

set a time limit to complete tasks

try to study without the pomodoro method

there are more things, but i wanted to focus on these, i tried to study or do anything else without breaks and it doesn't work for me, because i lose focus, if i'm not focused on what i set out to do, i'll do it without any effort, that time won't have been of any use.

remembering that: you don't have to copy my list because what might work for me might not work for you, and what doesn't work for me might work for you, but you can use it as an example to write your own version.

chapter four 🍀🌷🍏🩷
