When I had day time commitments outside of home (work and study etc) I would get so exhausted when I got home that if I didn't get dinner and a cuppa right away I would lie down on my bed for 6 hours without moving. Now I realise it was a combination of: chronic fatigue, austism masking, and executive dysfunction. Now I work from home and I structure my schedule around being a night owl.

As someone who is struggling to overcome perfectionism, I really appreciate your comment about how it's okay to just do what feels good without always having the goal of bettering yourself. Balance is so key, and tuning into what you need. This is another great video of yours, thank you!

[lizinthemoment]

This is so needed for me right now and oddly exactly in line with how I’d been feeling lately. I want to live my life, not just watch others live their lives (social media, YouTube, etc). I love the idea of an afternoon/evening routine and will see what I can build into my life. Thank you for the ideas!! 🧡

Instead of having one regular length shower a day, people could split it into two short showers. One in the morning where you wash your hair & do a light wash of your body. Then a second one where you tie up your hair & do a full clean of your body in the evening. That second wash in summer is so good.

your videos just leave me so motivated and the difficult things seems to be possible....thank you so much for inspiring us always😃😃❤❤

[nataliacarrillo]

You seriously inspire me every day to become the best version of myself. Thank you Muchelle, your videos are always to the point with so much information. Sending you nothing but love and positivity <3

[jesschapman]

Absolutely loved this video, have been struggling with my afternoons lately and needed these ideas! I’m going to try it out after work today. Thanks Michelle ♥️

[ma_niz]

Wow, I loved this. Muchelle is the voice of reason in my head. Also, I love Brandon Sanderson so much too!!

[luvvreni]

i needed this! i'm okay in the morning and evening but from 2:30-4:00 pm, i usually experience an afternoon slump

[madeleinesvensson-my]

It’s so easy to fall into the trap of always wanting to improve yourself and your life. Thank you for that ”get out of jail, free card” at the end. Love your channel!

[bilkisuabubakar]

I sometimes feel like I shouldn't do anything after lunch, whatever I was doing will later feel like torture then procrastination sets in

[kristenhoover]

Your subscriber count is bogus. You should have so many more. You are definitely amazing and help out so much!

[taylorstoltz]

Love the low energy/high reward tasks!! 💕 You always have the best tips! I learn so much, I need to share some of it with my audience💗

[marinakliueva]

Such a helpful video! I often feel anxious about wasting my after-work evenings and not being my most productive self after work. Defs going to apply your advice, thank you ❤

[AlyciaBoutte]

Great video Michelle! I haven't put much thought into whether I had an afternoon (early evening) routine, but after watching, I realize I do have a pretty solid routine in place, but I allow for flexibility. It usually consists of some type of movement (a walk, doing a dance fitness routine, or pilates), prepping dinner, tidying my kitchen, and working on my next videos. Appreciate all of the tips!

[eleniveileroglou]

Thank you Muchelle. This was an amazing video. I love your content. I always think of a "morning routine" and a "nighttime routine" but never an afternoon routine. This is brilliant. Thank you ❤️

[karolina]

Seriously the value of your content is amazing

[carrie-annehall]

I have been watching this channel for years and have never commented before. But this video really spoke to me even more than the others and I want to say a huge thank you.

[Creamy_Goodness]

I love these videos. Always so helpful.
