    A lot of students struggle with their expenses, I think it'll be nice to be ahead of yourself and just write a list of expenses you might have and do a quick math on it to see what's up, things like transportation fees, lunch fees, books you need to buy for your lectures, university fees and so on.

    Something I like to do before the academic year starts is plan out my "ideal week". So I'll put down all the moments where I have lectures/seminars and other appointments and then I plan around those: When am I going to do my reading or assignments? When do I want to go and workout? When will I hang with friends? When do I have time to clean/reset?
    It's not to say that I have to adhere to this "ideal week" every single week, nor is that absolutely possible, but it's really nice to sit down and be able to think what you'd want to do with your time. I think it's a nice way to see what your priorities, goals and intentions are for the next semester and it creates a tool to hold on to once the academic year starts :)

    My second most given advice is setting a standard time that you use to unwind- something to look forward to. My partner and I call it anti-adulting night in post college life, but it is the same as a college student. Pick a time every week where you dedicate to not doing anything responsible or for self-care. Sometimes it’s just an hour on Sunday morning at the coffee shop reading a fun book, or it’s a few hours Wednesday evening to watch TV or a movie. This does a lot to reset your brain.

    That time during August when I tend to spend slightly too much time watching your videos because I know school is going to start soon and autumn is going to start soon and I want to start my cozy season before than because I’m impatient is so otherworldly. As embarrassingly nerdy as it sounds, I am admittedly so excited to begin school and studying again and watching your videos makes me feel so much more pleasant about it because I don’t feel weird for enjoying studying. I like watching pieces of myself through other people, it is so comforting. And I love the little community of viewers to because you all seem so wonderful!! :D

    I would also schedule my (bi-) annual health checkups (dentist, gp, gynaecologist etc ) before the academic year starts.
    Also get your bike fixed, cleaned and checked.
    Another thing I would suggest is buying a bunch of birthday cards and stamps ahead of time and already make a list for Christmas/birthday gift ideas. These small things like going to the Post Office or finding gifts can cause a lot of stress when you don't have time.

    The only thing I see you missed Ruby was the importance of daily exercise. I wish I had known how much it would improve my life in my late teens/early 20s. We spend so much time in desks/ behind laptop screens/ TV screens/ tablets/ playing video games/ driving that we can forget to include it as part of our daily life. Good luck and the best of everything for those heading back this semester.

    On your reset checklist you might want to arrange it in order od what to do. For example, first tide, then dust (top to bottom) and then vacuum/hoover. If you dust everything onto the ground when you've already vacuumed you'll have to vacuum again.

    Definitely take a few hours to be totally offline and give yourself the space to think through all your priorities.

    One thing that I would recommend adding to the "Sunday Reset Routine" would be the creation of an offline backup of important folders/files on the computer, especially the ones concerning uni. I have been doing this with my main folders for quite a while now and found it to be a reasonable compromise between being "up-to-date" and "not-too-annoying".

    For setting up into a new school or just the season, I always like to make a list of books I would like to read. I don't necessarily have to finish them all (I do this every January, too) but just have a TBR list ready so in down time, I know what I want to pick from, rather than waste time staring at my bookshelves and getting overwhelmed in trying to pick something out. Same with making a personal to-do list; places I want to go, things I want to get done, even movies or shows I want to watch. Again, just to have ideas handy so I don't spend time dwelling on the decision and just get on with it, if that makes sense!

      For a lot of people the paradox of choice and having so many options can be overwhelming and stressful. I love the strategy because you still do have some choice about what you want to read and flexibility but you still can be more intentional, rather than just quickly making an impulsive decision and wasting your time and then getting upset because it is stressing and overwhelming you. Awesome idea😊

    • @lillysummeroriginals1213
      @lillysummeroriginals1213 Рік тому +1

      I wonder if for some redefining what the word clutter means could be useful. Do what works for you, if you can find everything you need and stay on track of your assignments then that is great. What someone chooses to do on the Internet to either look aesthetic or because that is what actually works for them does not need to be the same for you. We are all different in a good way, we all learned differently and therefore what our desk space looks like if we even have a conventional desk or not is going to be different from person to person and that is OK. Figure out what works for you, do some trial and error if you need to, and keep with that. Your desk is your space to get things done and feel motivated so make that yours. Do not feel pressured by what someone does on the Internet or even a friend of yours to change it up unless that is actually the direction you want to go. I wish you the best of luck and also I talk into my phone so I apologize for mistakes

    I have a database on Notion where I keep recipes I've seen online and saved the link to the recipe and a photo of the dish. My page is set up as a few databases under different headings like breakfast, mains etc.

    I love your videos and Ruby and have always wanted to purchase one of your planners, unfortunately to ship to Canada costs more than the price of the planner itself. Will this one be released online so I can download it instead? Keep up the great work Ruby :)))

    This is a fantastic video! I cleaned out my work desk as I watched/listened :) Will you be doing first two weeks daily vlogs again when you head back to school? Just curious :)
