Timers! When I am feeling uninspired I set a twenty minute timer to be productive. Anything, clean, work, whatever needs to be done. Sometimes a little productivity can inspire more, just like getting ready. I know it’s a little redundant as it falls into the, “don’t delay” category, but it’s a game changer for me! It’s all about getting the ball rolling! Thanks for another great video!
A little productivity hack that is working pretty good for me is to allow myself social media only after 6 PM.. i doing it for a few weeks now and i see much more results in my life since i've started! sometimes i do check my socials for a few seconds during the day but much much less than before
Great video Meghan!The most important thing is to know the must do tasks. What I want to incorporate in my life right now is to have a power hour in the morning when I work with full focus and no distraction on the 3 most important tasks :)
Thanks once again for a wonderful uplifting video - I work from home and find when I do get dressed etc I am more productive but one of my tips is to have a white board above my desk so if I think of anything I just put it on there and it reminds me all day - I actually have 2 above my desk - one specifically work based and the other for personal stuff - like my word of the year "positive"; things I need to buy etc
sue cathcart I LOVE the idea of having a white board! Thanks for sharing that tip! That’s something I’m gonna do when I have a proper office space (we’re in a studio apartment so hard to hang too much stuff up) xoxo
My office is a teeny weeny room off our hall - where you have to duck down to get into it (I live in a 17th century terraced cottage - rented not owned) - and I have seen bigger closets shown on UA-cam ... but it works - it also houses the freezer as well!
Thank you for the inspiration! I drink a glass of hot lemon water and do yoga for half an hour every morning before I have coffee and start my day. It preps me for the day ahead 🙏🏻
Amazing video! Thank you so so much! A tip I have, is to have a schedule during the day! It doesn't have to be something in depth, but just planning the times when I eat my meals, helps me a lot!
Struggling to get out of bed this morning and turned to UA-cam, thank you so much for this video. I watched it while drinking 750ml of water and I'm now motivated to shower, get dressed and have a healthy breakfast. Thanks again! Love your channel!
Meghan, I've to confess that I love your videos. I'm learning English and use some videos to improve my listening. I found your videos and I love the thematic of them. Your voice it's so calm and the atmosphere of your videos it's so relax, that I simple understand almost everything that you say in English (and I don't use subtitles). Sorry for some english mistake in this comment and thank you for your videos! 💗
Im so glad i found ur channel. U really inspire me. I've been having some health issues that i left untreated for a year. I have thyroid problems. I have hyperthyroidism, which i dont understood bc i gained so much weight. I am 44 n have had 3 children n never had a problem with my weight. Now im embarresed to leave the house. I dont sleep well at night im up.every 2 hours to use the bathroom. I do have a cup of coffee in the am but there are times i just get so tired due to thyroid. I also have scoliosis (curvature of the spine) n im not as active bc i physically can not do.it. i really wanted to go.out with my mom yesterday bc i havent been out in about 1 month. I live alone in a 1 bedroom apartment. So yesterday i really pushed myself shopping n i was bending down to look at some clothes n i.fell. it was so embarrassing a nice lady asked me if i was ok n if i needed help but i told her my mom was there. Anyway i just had a biopsy of my thyroid n get the results in a few days. I pray the large cysts i have are not cancerous. My endocrinologist is thinkimg about taking my whole thyroid out. We are going to.talk about it at my next appt. As for my back.i.did see a spine specialist n he referred me to a Nuerosurgeon because he believes my case is very complex n he doesn't feel comfortable doing it. So i saw the Nuerosurgeon n im going to.have surgery. Bc i am limited in everything i do. I cant stand for long walk for long anything. So anyway. I really am going thru alot ty for listening. One thing i know is after these surgeries n i recover i want n need a different life. I need to loose weight. I have to eat better, i have to drink more water. Im going to go back to the nutritionist n come up with a healthy plan. I.have to for me n my sanity. Im depressed n feel embarresed at how i look that i.dont even put any make up on anymore i dont do my hair just throw it up in a bun, n only wear leggings n big t shirts. So thank u so much for ur videos. I love them. ♥️😊. Again i apologize for my life story...lol have a wonderful day.
When I say you can read my mind I'm not even kidding! Omg you always create content that I happen to think about a lot💕 Thank you Meghan. And I was just wondering do you do coaching? Because I would totally love to coach by you about food and health and lifestyle on a personal level🌸 (English isn't my mother tongue but I hope you can understand my grammar hehe)
Great Video! ALL good points! I like to sit down on Sunday in a quiet place and plan my week. I choose the BIG THREE to complete for the week and then a daily three to accomplish. I am a huge list maker but tend to overload and get frustrated when I didn't complete everything on that day. The number three is manageable and I usually do more than three, but I don't set myself up for "failure" mode with a huge list. Keep um' coming ;)
Love this! Having a manageable task list really takes a lot of the pressure off -- yet we can often end up doing more if we just don't overwhelm ourselves! xx
Wonderful video Meghan! I do agree with you on all the tips you have given. And yes, water before coffee is definitely the key to starting your day on a healthy note. Thanks for sharing this awesome video 💕
Thanks so much for this vid! I struggle a lot with procrastination & I find ur vids extremely helpful & it's never more than 10 minutes long (I have short attention span). Clear, concise & calm = 3Cs to describe ya. Luv from the Philippines! 🇵🇭
Best start to the day is listening to your voice lol just most engaging relaxing voice you could basically read the shampoo bottle and id be spellbound. Great video as always
mel aw well thank you!! Hmm I don’t have any sort of specific workout plan, but I have ballet class Wednesday nights, and I often practice my ballet in the morning sometime after I wake up. And then I also walk alottttt. :)
I work form home and i recently realized that it helps s much to get ready and do my makeup and not stay in my pjs because i DO get lazy if i dont get ready!
Not checking social media first thing in the morning helps me stay focused. Also 5-10 minutes meditation also helps that. I’m a business owner- distractions are everywhere!
Distractions are the worst! I get distracted easily 😅 so keeping them to a minimum is essential. Love your point about not checking social media first thing xx
ksarg hey there! I make a berry bowl and it’s so yummy (one of my favourite breakfasts!) It’s just a handful of berries (any kind), chopped banana, a spoonful of nut butter (I like sunflower seed butter), and then a splash of almond milk. It’s like cereal but without cereal 😛 xx
Hey there! My cats were actually my mom and brothers cats (Junie was partly mine but also extremely close to my brother), so they live at home with them. I visit them of course! :)

I've eliminated it all but UA-cam. Much better.
Loveeee your tip. It can be so helpful setting boundaries like that. Thanks so much for sharing xx
That is a great idea!!

I use timers to be more productive. If I have a project to get done it helps to know there is an end in sight :)
I loooove timers. They're so helpful for exactly the reason you mentioned :)

Hi Meghan, I love watching all of your videos! I am wondering what was in the bowl you were having for breakfast with the nut butter and bananas?
ksarg hey there! I make a berry bowl and it’s so yummy (one of my favourite breakfasts!) It’s just a handful of berries (any kind), chopped banana, a spoonful of nut butter (I like sunflower seed butter), and then a splash of almond milk. It’s like cereal but without cereal 😛 xx
I'll definitely try this! I usually make a smoothie but sometimes in the mood for something different. Thanks for the reply. 😊😃
ksarg I love smoothies too 😊 enjoy!!
Meghan Livingstone what is nut butter? Is it peanut butter?
