an *unproductive* few days of my life in seoul, korea VLOG

Hi guys! I thought I'd try my best to show what an unproductive day of my life is like here in Seoul, because even though things are looking up here in Korea, I'm still trying to spend most of the week indoors and often my days are very unexciting. Just a little reminder that just because our schedules are interrupted it doesn't mean we have to pressure ourselves into doing ALL THE THINGS :) Hope you guys are doing well and sending love your way always!

Sorry this video isn't too exciting. I stuck to my plan a little too well on Friday and literally did NOTHING so it's not exactly the best vlog material. Hope you're all taking care of yourself!

[laurachiclet]

I actually kinda like ""boring"" vlogs, this was exactly the video that i needed rn after finishing thousands of essays and needing a break lol thank you as always for sharing your videos and your life (?) with us!! Not being productive is definitely okay in these times (and any other times idk)

[AntoniasVideoJournal]

social media these days: this is the time to be productive!!
cari cakes, a rebel: my goal for the day is to not do any work

thanks for making it feel like it’s ok to take some time off and just make the most out of the situation in whatever way makes us happy!💕

when you wrote "not a single cloud in the sky" I literally thought it's just a blue background added while editing then I realised that it is actually sky!
Doing nothing is so good for the brain :)

so relatable 🌼 I also don’t like to not be doing something, this video was comforting

It's 4 in the morning here in India and I'm anxious. But I'm able to find peace by watching your video ♡ keep up the good work cari! I find myself re-watching your videos these days in quarantine and it helps me keep my mind off of negative thoughts!

Not boring! Reassuring/comforting/slice of life. It's 12:42 pm in the states as I watch this on a rainy Portland day. Knowing one of my favorite go-getter-youtubers can also have sloth-like days is great. It reinforces the self-care narrative and eases any guilt I may feel about not starting new hobbies, or writing a novel, or starting yoga routines, or simply finishing my whole to do list in a day etc... Thanks for this, Cari.

Your videos always calm my insomnia, they're so calming! The 00:00 upload is perfect for being in the UK

[thelittlethingsbyeva]

you can literally do nothing somehow it would still be interesting for me, the way you capture things it's just so calm and perfect to me every time💓

[mackenzieskipper]

Honestly I think it's such a good point to remind ourselves we don't need to be super productive right now when many of us are dealing with so much change and uncertainty. Hope everyone is well xxx

[honeytearays]

I honestly think that we get so caught up in things being the stereotypical notion of productive that we forget that even doing little things or taking care of ourselves is productive. I tried so hard at the start of this quarantine to be constantly doing things that I found myself more burnt out than I started! Hopefully we can all take time to just enjoy the little things in life; thank you for this peaceful vlog Cari <3

me today, i learned a kpop choreo, recreated some memes and watched YouTube and a kdrama 🙌 i loved this video and i think it's great to see "unproductive" videos bc it reminds us that other people also take their time to recharge 💕

[fabnoora]

I find vlogs like this really relaxing. I enjoy your personality so any content is enjoyable to me :) Also understand your frustration, ever since they relaxed the lockdown where I live people have been gathering in large crowds and the numbers of cases are rising :/ It’s frustrating as I haven’t left my house except for once in over 2 months and I really wish everyone would be more careful so we can fight this together. That said, thank you for reminding us it’s okay to take these days easy and not pressure ourselves into being super productive. Lovely vlog :)

[purpleskies]

You are the furthest thing from boring! I love these cozy relaxing videos you create so much ambience and atmosphere🌌🌅 love it thanks for the vid 💕

[BrokenWhispers]

Hi! I just wanted to say that I've really been enjoying watching your videos during this quarantine period. Lately I've found it hard to keep interest in shows and yt videos I'd usually find entertaining or interesting. But it's been nice to watch your vlogs! Korea is absolutely beautiful! I didn't find this boring at all, it was actually really nice to be reminded that it's ok to choose to be unproductive some days. I've found not taking that time usually leads to burn out. I'm really glad that I found your channel, thank you and stay safe!

ive been watching your videos a bit over a year and dont leave many comments but felt the need to mention that on top of your editing skills getting better and better with each video the vibes of this one in particular were great i dont really watch your videos bc of what youre doing but more for like you(??) anyways seeing you take a step back from everything and relax was refreshing and i really enjoyed this and maybe its bc of how you edited it but i didn’t find it the slightest bit boring

[grandmaninni]

Something that I have found is very important is to let myself not be “productive” more often and try to re-teach myself and my anxiety-brain to not feel guilty about not being “efficient” or productive! You’re brain and you yourself really need some time to just heal and relax from time to time! 🌼☀️🍊Watching someone I loove watching, also letting herself do that makes it feel more ok, at least for me, if that makes sence?🤔😋😊Loved the video as always🍊☀️🧡🧡

[madeevanhulzen]

Thank you so much for this comforting video. I've noticed I badly want to just do creative things and calmly pass time, but I have uni work that needs to be finished. On the one hand it's frustrating because I'm so unmotivated but on the other hand it keeps me working towards a goal. So to any students out there, we've got this! But we should also allow ourselfs to be unproductive 😊

[filipbula]

This video was an excellent reminder that you don't have to stress yourself because you haven't done anything huge throughout the days of social distancing. We can just take it easy once in a while. Thank you CariCakez for uploading this video!!

I really needed to be reminded that doing nothing productive is ok. As a person with a ton of hobbies, I feel like I need to be pursuing them while I have time at home. Maybe if I don’t focus on doing stuff, my creative juices will start flowing 😄
