happy weekend everyone! I've been a bit MIA because life's been busy lately but thank you for being here & if you have any productivity tips, please share it below! ❤

[mctcurious]

It’s funny… I’ve heard all of these tips before. I’ve even read some of them directly. I might even have implemented a few of them, but the way you presented these as a group and with your specific examples and experience was so helpful! So happy that you’ve been able to discover all of this and thank you, thank you thank you for sharing it.

woah that’s actually so nice and thoughtful of google to put the healthy foods at eye level/up top and even going as far as frosting the bottom half of the door im shocked

[christinetee]

loved this in bite sized bits! also just want to add that there are actually no “bad” foods. as someone who’s really struggled with disordered eating and seeing foods as “bad”, i think a healhier term is “less nutritionally dense”! :) just food for thought hehe 😊

i really hate thay bedrotting is becoming an Internet term, its really not what people online make it seem to be. I have a depressive disorder, and when I have episodes I bedrot pretty hard and its not just me not wanting to get out of bed... in my last episode i watched damn near every single episode of brooklyn 99 and rick and morty in a week. I didn't take a shower, or brush my teeth or hair then entire time, i physically could not bring myself to get out of bed longer than just heating up food in microwave, and even then, i only really ate once day. I literally felt like Gregor from the metamorphosis, its not the same as just laying in bed cus i dont have the energy to do my assignments. The Internet normalizing the missuse of the term bedrotting is similar to me as the Internet normalizing the term Intrusive thought being used interchangeably with the term Impulsive thought. I wish online culture qould move away from this, and start actually acknowledging the things about mental illness that can't be romanticized without trying to take away from the gross or disturbing parts from them.

The guest lecturer piece was a very valuable part of this video. Thank you for bringing in his insights on this subject.

[leslieauliaa]

You editing is wonderful, your thumbnail caught my attention and of course I've heard just 30% of your tips before but learnt a whole lot. Thank you💕 gonna experiment with all tips

[maggiec.]

Thank you for this video. I'm going to try to incorporate such too, am a night person. And remember, tomorrow can be a new beginning! Thank you Sarah!

[marccolomayt]

productive Sarah at its finest and Happy Easter as well! ❤

[clairechen]

Great video! For anyone interested reading about the “second space” mentioned, they’re more commonly called “third places” in sociology! Meaning a place of community and leisure away from 1st places (homes) and 2nd places (work)

[MrJFaTaL]

Sarah Posted = Good Day. Happy Easter!!

[ifelsefeels]

Thank you for sharing these tips! I especially found super helpful the task stacking and having a second space! The task stacking i probably do already though i've never been conscious of it but i do not have another "space" other than my home (and my humble desk), i wonder if that's why i feel so drained sometime 😅

[selin]

this was so soothing! thanks for making a digestible, calm, motivational video <3

[amandamorrissey]

Hi Sarah, Love your videos. You are just real. Just keep doing what you are doing. It's your life you can do whatever you want, thanks for bringing us along for the ride :)

[jumbleofjargon]
