    One day when my children were little we had a beautiful rare day when the sun was shining and we went and sat on an empty beach - everyone else was at work. In contrast to our usual hectic day, the children were so content playing in the sand and I sat in the sun soaking up the tranquility. I even saw a beautiful tall ship sail by. Then I got an intense feeling of guilt and unproductiveness. I realised my feeling of selfworth had become dependent on my stress and continued busy-ness. As soon as I felt happy and at peace, my guilt ruined the perfect moment - the joy of being alive. If you feel that joy, then you are doing everything right!

    Ah it's so nice having you on YT Chris! I'd love if the UA-cam thing ended up being your job. One, we'd get more content. Two, you're glowing (not just from the facial). 😂

    I think productiveness is a bit of a trap - you’re a human being not a human doing! Thank you for the book recommendation, I’ll pick that one up. Happy Friday, I hope your day is off to a fabulous start!

    I was in a similar position 5 years ago, leaving 15 years in the corporate world to slowly build my own business. It is a journey to figure out a new routine (or non-routine). I can feel your joy in these videos and remember that feeling. I still feel a million times happier and less stressed working for myself, doing what I love (home organizing). So happy to be able to follow along on your reinvention!

    As I went from a floor RN to a stay at home mom, my planner transformed into something new as well. I’m someone who lovesss paper, pens, stationary, so I still wanted to use my things. Now I use them for wellness. Habit trackers, wellness lists, chores lists, selfcare things. At the beginning of the month I brainstorm fun movies, shows, snacks, music based on the holidays coming up. It’s fun & I’m still able to use that part of my creativity in my “planners”.

    I understand totally how you are saying you don't feel productive, I am a SAHM and business owner, and some days the MOM overtakes the work and I feel so BLAH... but someone once told me, and I remind myself of it all the time: “Busyness is an illness of the spirit.” and it is SO true! You are doing SO much more than you realize!!

    Unopened liquor will keep almost indefinitely if stored properly. I think those margarita bottles are safe until opened.

    I think in this country we are far too engulfed in the culture of work/achievement. The older I get the more I contemplate this idea and the time wasted on it. I wish I would have had less and done more. Also, do not worry whether every vlog has interesting things in it. I think we all appreciate just hanging out with you.

    Thanks for the inspiration to make stuffed shells! It was delicious and my husband had 3 helpings. My shells also were terrible. Please keep sharing recipes. I keep sharing you to everyone

    After I retired after teaching elementary school, I wondered what I would do with all my time. Well, the jokes on me! I don’t know how I ever found time to teach! I’m so busy going here and there, cooking, knitting, reading, and taking care of myself. Everyday is a weekend now. No more hustle and bustle, planning, creating, redeveloping, and all the while being a housewife and mother. It took me awhile to figure out how to be me again. Summers didn’t count. Summers went by too quickly and before I knew it I was back to school. What I’m trying to say is in a while, you are going to enjoy being home and being very productive. Just wait to get into your new home! You won’t want to go back to work! I received my new shirt from your merch, and love it. I can’t wait to wear it! You are the very first influencer that I’ve purchased anything! Shells looked delicious. I made chicken stuffed shells that were delicious, as well. I’m behind on my days…see I told you I was busy. On to your next day…..❤

    Hi Christopher. I too like to cross things off in my planner, always have, it’s so satisfying. But as I get older, I mean wiser, the slow days are more meaningful. Yesterday I batch cooked a bunch of recipes I’ve been wanting to try while listening to UA-cam. Now I don’t have to factor in cooking time for half of my week. Enjoy your channel on all types of days. Also a fellow Swifty here and I’m a 59 year old single mom. I quote her lyrics all the time. Always pertinent! 👢🎤🎸💄

    I just love seeing your vlogs every day. And I think you are absolutely correct that you have to measure your productivity a lot differently now, because you were actually doing a lot. Is something I’m learning as well.

  • @annelovell4952

    Isn't it wonderful? To not have to live by a schedule. My husband is retiring soon. Then I won't get the question 'what are you doing today?' A lot of times I say nothing! It's great

    I’m proud of you being up at 8:30 PM! Do you remember the John Lennon quote “ life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans?”. It is true! I now have the retirement luxury of just keeping a calendar with appointments. It is liberating! Try it for a week and feel the freedom! We are having thunderstorms this morning, and I have a new book, a stack of decorating magazines, my dog snoring in my lap, and a cup of coffee…such a decadent, luxurious feeling! I will definitely be making those stuffed shells, they look yummy. Still voting for keeping the mirrors just in case!

    Christopher, I don’t know if there is a name for this position but I can imagine you helping someone through the whole process of selling and buying a new home(cleaning, packing organization, staging, etc.), the moving process and decluttering, rehoming and selling of furniture, decor and personal items etc, I’m not talking abt a realtor or real estate agent but you being the seller’s best friend during this stressful time, holding his/her hand and just being a guide during this journey. I’m sure the job is not as simple as I made it sound but your aura and personality are just so peaceful and and of course, soooo kind. You are so talented Iin so many ways that I’m sure you could make a very successful career helping other people wth their moving/relocation adventures….maybe you could combine that wth be a social influencer on YT!!

    Sorry you had to renew your license! We just moved and it was a nightmare going to the dmv after to change our address on the licenses. You need to wait for utility bills with your new address, but then you need the updated license to get some of the accounts updated first. I hope we never move again! It’s all exciting, but some of these mundane things are exhausting!! Best of luck!

    I feel like productivity is tricky when you’re home full time. I often struggle to slow down and just be still at home. There is always something to do or that can be done. But that’s the problem. I can always find something to do. I have been to self aware and allow myself to have those moments guilt free.

  • @lynnclemons5864
    @lynnclemons5864 4 місяці тому

    The stuffed shells look delicious!! Maybe instead of measuring productivity by how much we do/get done we should measure by how well we allow ourselves to rest.For me as a caregiver I have been having to learn to care for myself.Part of that is also resting!!

    I love to plan, but when covid hit, all the planner groups got put on hold. Im retired, but i still kept up with appts and etc. But covid left my planner really empty. I use my Month page to budget and keep up with bills. The daily pages, i started using for Journaling how the day went. Ive now moved from an EC vert. To EC monthly with blank pages for the weekly. I journal on the blank ones. If we go out of town or some place, like zoo, or whatever, i save all the ticket stubs & memorabilia from the trip. Then place them in with washie tape and stickers. You might concider that if you find you have empty pages when you're at home more and not working outside the home.
