Actually, I've noticed a HUGE change when I started to be in present. It's amazing. The forever running and chasing the things to do, changed into a mindful, productive one-week-month-day flow. Also started to trace my work progress, time and energy I dedicated to my work.

I know this was taped a year ago, but I'm just seeing it now! I'm 61, and I've never understood how to set a goal. Or, how do you decide what to choose. I guess I feel like they are all projects! Either way, I never seem to finish them because of the fear of failure!
I struggle with money. I just started medication and didn't do so well at first. Feeling better but I learned not to shame myself. Next check will be a test to do better.
I have just entered the first year of junior college ( its the equivalent of the second year of highschool in america) and its a new beginning for me but the only thing i lacked was motivation and lack of a routine so this video has definitely helped in that regard and also thought me that living in the moment is extremely important. Thank you
I needed to see this today…thank you. I’m so caught up in ‘stuff’ that I forget to enjoy the moment. I have this polarised need for minimalism and variety. It’s such a tricky balance to achieve.
I needed to hear this. I’ve felt so unproductive in my third trimester, but I negate all the stuff I do with my toddlers because I didn’t do certain things on my to do list
I would love more action steps. Like how do you list all the things you need to do and then take action each week. Do you calendar after putting forth a whole list of what you need to do in the next month? I know you use notion but that seems daunting to me as I just started using a planner a few months ago.
Whenever I'm at Target, I'm looking not at their planners but at home decor 😭😭😭 (this is my impulsive shopping habit smh). I did appreciate their planners when I was a teacher, tho.
So true! Priorities! I get asked from time to time as a single mom of three, how do I get everything done. I say it's easy - I just don't 😂 But I do the Most Important (and yet the bare minimum) - maintain our lives and sprinkle here and there those little nuggets of enjoyable things like hiking, riding a bike, playing with kids, bite-sized yoga sessions, you name it.
Great message. Showed up in my feed today at just the right moment. Allowed me to clarify my goals for the year- something I’ve been struggling to do for 5 months. Thank you for sharing. ❤
I feel so so so so stupid!!!! I love what I do for work!!! I completely forgot that I had a client, lost a client and lost money! I started taking alderall on my 40’s And feel dumb today
I'm productive in everything except school, organizing my room, and working out. like i don''t feel like doing school work but i would love to since these are careers i'm interested in. but to study every day and work through practice problems.. how do y'all do that?
Lol. Trying to have a roof over my head and food to eat is almost impossible....and i live in one of those countries you were talking about! You are out of touch. Bye.
This was exactly what I needed to hear today, thank you. Although the mindless scrolling problem for me is Mastodon, not Instagram. I've already met a lot of neurodiverse people there, which makes it even harder to stay away. 😅 Thank goodness for website blockers.

That last point... Yes!!! Being more productive but also giving time to meaningful distractions:)
My wife is busy all day later she’s always doing something but she can never get anything accomplished. It makes her very sad.
I didnt know I was married to you
This was soooo good that I played it twice (and saved it). Caren is so smart. This was the best food for thought. Thank you!
If I could burn allllll the planners I ever bought and barely used, it would keep me warm all winter.
Same here!
