I listen from somewhere that If you say "I love myself and my top priority is me" Tam will pin your comment. So I'm writing it in this comment. Hopefully she'll pin my comment. ❤

If you wanna be a lucky girl and the main character YOU HAVE TO wake up early because that’s make you control your day, if you wake up an hour or half before school/job you let you life controls you. You have to do what you want and then go to school/job after you did YOU things

i needed this so badly, i told myself i was going to study for the whole day and then kept feeling bad about the fact that i keep getting distracted and unmotivated to keep studying, this truly opened my eyes thank you so much!

[alljaniah]

All it took was your 22 minute video to literally break my sluggish cycle. Your STYLE, FEMININITY, ELEGANCE, and INTELLIGENCE spoke to me. Thank you so much…LITERALLY. God bless you!🌷

[tamkaur]

a different style of video today! what do we think of the added vlog clips? LMK <3 p.s. I'm so obsessed with my new end screen hehehe

[fifirab]

Ngl this was all super ADHD friendly advice, normally I click on these videos and they're like "you just have to do it, just build a routine and stick to it with no break/time for yourself". I think this is really good advice for people struggling with mental health/ADHD, thanks tam xxx

Notes:
Procrastination is the cause of the fear that you don’t know how to do something. You will never know how to do something unless you take the step to try. Taking the first step sets you on a roll.

1. Morning routine:
Wake up early: slow morning with no work schedule. Wake up 1 hr earlier than usual.
- Go gym for mental health: exercise creates more energy and productivity (every other day: read a book).
- Nutritious breakfast (low sugar): eggs, avocado on toast, oats, granola, healthy high fibre yoghurt bowls
- Get ready for the day/work.

2. The working day
- Time restrictions for each task (= time blocking: e.g. 11.15-12 pack and ship orders). Helps against procrastinating bc no infinite sense of time.
- Don’t say you’re going to work all day: it’s not focused productive work and you feel burnt out.
- Stay organised and create organising systems: use apple calendar app colour code the things you want to balance in your life and use time blocking technique. Do a little bit of each task every day to not get bored and procrastinate.
- Allow for flexibility: follow your intuition (feminine energy) rather than logic and rigid order (masculine). Play to your strengths. Write down your top priority things - urgend, mid priority - important, low priority - can be moved and the rewards (e.g. netflix, yt, starbucks solo date, journalling, reading).
- POMODORO timer: 25 minute timer online + 5-10 min break, another 25 min work session.
- Just focus on the first step.

3. Best productivity hacks talk through: PREP TO TAKE THE THINKING OUT OF LIFE so you know what to do every day
- Create the calendar and colour code & time block it every week
- Commit every evening and saturdays to do things that spark joy: relax, see friends, take time for hobbies,
- Commit sundays to get your life in order to prepare everything for the week ahead of you to make life easier
- Habit-tracker app: tick off goals, e.g. taking supplements, journal
- Increasing motivation: watch motivational videos save in folder. Rely on discipline. You’re saying no to urself to take control in ur life: create a habit step by step.
- Create separation: change surroundings with longer study periods, e.g. 9 am till 12 pm study at home & lunch, then 1 pm till 4 pm study at a cafe, go home eat dinner and then spend 3-4 hours at uni library. Refreshens your mind and helps with time blocking, you don’t have infinite sense of time.
- Journal: question why you have fear of failure, e.g. why do i fear this, what is the worst & best case scenario, why do i feel incapable of doing well, how can i better prepare to feel more confident in doing so - keep questioning until you destroy ur fear of failure with logic.
- Low energy: take 1 day to do the things you want to enjoy, then the next day work. Mental health comes first.
- Rest: regular breaks and balance.

4. Work life balance
- Use the little joyous things and the comfort as the thing that gets you through the working day, e.g. going to a starbucks and journal. Work smarter not harder.
- Journalling about accountability as well: did i achieve the goals for the day
- Good night routine: slow, winding down properly. E.g. cup of tea, netflix, read a book. Make sure you're well rested for the busy day the next day.

I just want to say, as a brown girl, I’m so happy to have a role model that looks like me…I didn’t realise it, but I didn’t relate much to people who didn’t look like me, I always wondered why certain makeup didn’t look good on me, or why certain products made my skin dry - so recently I’ve been trying to follow people who look like me, so I have someone to relate to, thank you so much ❤

•‌Wake up early
•‌Prioritize doing something which you enjoy doing after waking up
•‌Eat a nutritious breakfast
•‌Freshen up
•‌Use time blocking technique(dedicate a certain amount of time to a task, don't work for long hours... instead separate your time into blocks)
•‌Use pomodoro technique(setting timer for small amount of time and taking breaks in the middle)
•‌Just focus on the first step (it's the hardest part)
•‌Create seperate spaces for blocks of time
•‌Journal when you're feeling scared to do something-
• Why do I fear this?
• What is the worst case scenario?
• What is the best case scenario?
• Why do I feel like I'm not capable of doing this?
• Why don't I know how to do this task?
• In that case what can I do to make myself more prepared to do this task confidently?
•‌Take one day to yourself and do whatever makes you happy
•‌Rest well and take breaks regularly (don't overwork yourself)
•‌Journal your daily life so that you can have accountability (you can keep a track of what your goals were for the day and what goals toh actually accomplished at the end of the day)
•‌Create a slow and comfortable night routine <3

this was probably the most realistic one yet. other videos are so strictly focused on glorifying the hustler mindset and overworking yourself till you’re burned out and tired. this video gives you super helpful and realistic advice, while also intertwining self-care and emotional comfort. so that you can grind and work hard but also still feel like you have a life outside of your responsibilities but not jeopardizing them along the way

[kathylemieux]

I have been a life coach for over three years, and I have never heard some pretty complex methods presented so simply. Your positive approach is contagious. Thanks for motivation.

[duygojc]

Not me waching this video to procrastinate studying for my exams...

[Jazmine.x]

I love how she is growing day by day. More people are getting benefits from her videos❤

[mariasquif]

It's literally like your videos were made for me! Have recently decided to let go of someone who doesn't know what he wants and it has been hard to stay disciplined and push on. So grateful that it now is so much easier and that I no longer feel like that❤❤

[camplesco]

I wish I could find videos like this tailored to people who not only work and go to school but also have disabilities that make finding the balance between productivity and rest harder. I frequently find myself sick with stress because it's so hard to make all the money I need in order to pay for the things I need to, go to classes, study for those classes in the way that is most effective for me as a person, maintain the household, maintain my social life, and find time to treat myself gently/rest (mental health + chronic illness).Very frustrating! HOWEVER, this was an incredibly lovely video and I enjoy finding new things to adapt into my own routine. Thank you for posting!

[gabby_universe]

This is actually the best productivity video I have seen. It explains everything really well, especially some of the things I have heard from other videos, but those videos didn't explain it well. I also really enjoyed how organized and structured it was and every point was really good.

[mayatarin]

Miss Kaur, I absolutely love and appreciate you. Every video you put out comes with divine timing because it’s when I need to hear it the most. I love it when queens help queens and how you just help us become the best versions of ourselves. So grateful to have come across your videos since the beginning of 2023, because I can confirm that I’m a whole better person. 💖 lots of love 💕

[charleighkilgore]

thank you so much for reminding me that it's also important to take time for my mental health. i always feel so guilty and stressed when i'm not getting my work done due to mental/physical illnesses. but you were absolutely right when you said one day off won't make a big difference and it's okay to take a break. this video has changed my mindset and i appreciate you teaching me your wonderful advice while being kind and understanding at the same time <33
