One priority a day. What a great, yet simple concept! I think that'll really help me!!! Thank you!!!!

This is exactly what I’m trying to do this year! I’m doing a low buy year and trying to simplify my environment. And to keep myself accountable I started a YT channel 😅
But like you have said I realized I can’t squish everything into my life so I’m filming videos and letting myself create a backlog so I don’t burn myself out. When I’m ready I’ll have a nice set of videos to post and I won’t feel as stressed about it while trying to work and be a mother.
Thanks for sharing!

[@HaleyVillena]

Good for you! Great idea having a backlog prepared for when you’re ready 🙌🏽 best of luck with your low buy ☺️

Woah! thank you for sharing this. One of the key things you point out here that caught my attention is the glamorizing part. That was one of the things i was pondering about in the previous years and can’t really express the thought to words but you put that really well in this video! and i thought i was the only one noticing it which can feel like im going crazy for thinking so especially when romanticizing one’s life is being promoted. at some point romanticizing helped me but overtime it subtly felt im doing things performatively. it’s not obvious but i could feel it. it’s confusing because it’s like reality but more of fantasy and it’s hard to distinguish. while it was fun and it made me feel i have everything in my life under control by romantaicizing i don’t think it feels genuine in the long run if done excessively.

[@HaleyVillena]

Hi Andrea! Thanks for honestly sharing your thoughts and experience with the whole act of romanticizing. It’s hard to distinguish these things when they’re so prevalent in our culture 😣

[@TastyFood584]

I like the bucket analogy. What's the guided journal you were using in the beginning?

[@HaleyVillena]

Thanks! If you’re referring to the planner at 1:28 it’s from Stil Classics!
