i did not expect so many people to be curious about my ipad stand! it’s by the brand kabicon :)

paloma really said get dressed or get depressed HAHA 😂😭 this was so inspiring to watch!! definitely makes me interested in trying to have a more early bird routine~

[izzaweihaas]

I’m so impressed by your morning routine and the note about finding your own productivity time is so spot on! I’m the most productive from 12-6 so I take my mornings easy and work out so I roll right into 12!

[skystygian]

I forgot there's people out there who enjoy waking up super early and being productive in the mornings haha. I have ADHD which gives me a delayed circadian rhythm so my most productive/creative hours are usually between 8 PM and 3 AM. I was a little shocked when you got up at 7 AM but I really appreciate that you mentioned that everyone is different and will have different productivity hours because sometimes people are like YOU HAVE TO GET UP SUPER EARLY OR ELSE and I feel so guilted by it! This was a really helpful video to watch

I am much older than you and I really appreciate how you know yourself so well.
I strive to teach my kids to know themselves as you do. I’m going to show them this.
Kuddos to you for being a true artist and living creatively, as you.
That is what I call real success.

girl, thanks for this video! As someone is also self employed, my routine has gone to traaash! I like that you a weekly schedule written out. It's typed out, pasted on the fridge, and (for me) it seems like it can stop those "wandering around your apt just wasting time" moments. I'm going to try it out! Thanks Paloma!

Love seeing another self employed artists routine. It's interesting to see the parallels as well (like having to get dressed and trying to have a structure). I defo dip around 3PM!

As someone working towards being self employed, I appreciate seeing your routine.

My mornings start at 3am 😅. I work a dayjob and take care of my elderly Dad as well as being an artist, working on my body of work before doing a full launch right now. So breakfast and lunch prep, wash up pack things up, warm up my vehicle, help my dad with meds and getting him fed with lunch in the Instapot or something I have ready that he can grab. I'll sketch a little until my alarm goes off and I leave for work from 6a-3p, grab any groceries and things, try to be home by 4. Check on my Dad, meds again for him with dinner, walk and play with my Dogs, clean a little, paint/sketch some more until bed. Some days I don't do any art and allow myself some reading or gaming time (need to wiggle in the fun here and there). Days off I rest and take care of Dad, with longer periods of art time. It's hard but quite fulfilling. ❤

paloma the productive self-employed queen!! love seeing day in the life vids :)

[Aceofspades]

4:54 so true! It’s different for everyone and I hate when people act like the morning is the best for everyone

[itscharliebee]

So much credit to people who go through the extra step to look ✨stunning✨ even if they aren’t leaving the house. I can’t even get ready when I’m going somewhere 😂

Also…I’ve never had pesto eggs and that sounds fricken amazing. I always buy pesto and I feel like it’s only really good right after opening it. After it’s been in the fridge it just doesn’t hit the same. But I feel like frying it up with some eggs would really rejuvenate it! Definitely going to try it.

[HunnyHigh]

thank you for this video!! I always get anxious thinking that i'm not doing enough but yes, we're humans and everyday can't be 100% productive.

[emilypearce]

Wow this was really helpful :) I’m not an artist but I do work from home as a professional writer. I’ve been struggling with making a schedule and sticking to it, but I realized I’m trying to do things in the day when I have the least amount of energy. Also, your art is so cute and amazing ❤

[whenyouwishuponastar]

I feel the same way about breakfast. If I don’t have a nice sized breakfast I end up having low energy really quick. It literally is the most important meal for me.

[abigailmoore]

I had a really bad day today, and was trying to just find a video that would help me decompress and unwind and this was the best video I could have come across, it was so relaxing. Thank you so so much for sharing. <3

[siunkii]

i hate that i love mornings so much as for the aesthetics: mornings are so calming, the light is just right and beautiful, there's all this beautiful stuff happening in the nature and... other than that, i just am not a morning person. my creativity & energy level spikes at 9-11pm and continues well after midnight; before that, i can do creative stuff in short bursts but mostly would need to spend the first two halves of the day resting, kinda naturally preparing for the inspiration that will come. but that means i have to sleep late, if i also stay up late: and then i miss out on all the beautiful morning stuff. :( there's no easy way to get them both

[ghostbrunches]

this is seriously so helpful! i am transitioning into becoming a tattoo artist and i am so inspired seeing an artist make a such beautiful life for themselves ;__;

I draw/work from 12nn - 9pm. But I take a 25mins Nap every afternoon.
I Also use the Pomodoro Technique for maximum efficiency (75% of the time it works)

[samanthawilton]

Manifesting this kinda life for myself too ✨
