This reminds me of how in lesson planning you start with the learning objective and then build the lectures and classroom activities around it. I love the idea of applying this to personal goals and incorporating emotions into it!
I think the whole world is feeling oriented, but some people are better at running over what they feel and need by brute force. And some others are aligned. Therefore there is no conflict between what they want and what they do.
Thanks you! This is the Ultimate Guide to autistic planning. Because shifting from doing to feeling helps to acknowledge, regulate and prioritize intoreception challenges, avoiding burnout, instead of navigating around it. Your 5 questions are so spot on! Since they relate to those stimuli we find energizing and those that drain our ability to focus and perform. Los this video so much!!!
I am so grateful for this video. The thought of working according to how you want to feel is soooo what I needed. I have always wanted to have a schedule depending on my feelings. But the rational voices of "productive" youtubers kept saying that I am just dependent on my emotions and not actually disciplined. What is the point of discipline if it doesn't just feel uncomfortable but painful. It's so refreshing watching someone actually use a feeling oriented schedule without it being 'emotionally swayed' and also calming and productive. At the end of the day I just want to feel like my day was calm and productive enough. Now I can delightedly plan my day. It's so good. Do the hard task in the calmer slow time and the easy task when time feels fleeting and locked. I just realised how easy all the tasks are even the daunting ones. I feel so stressed out even by the littilest things when the base of schedule is 'hyper productivity' and the focus is on getting as much as done so that I could feel accomplished. But do I really have to go through such pain? Do I really want to feel accomplishment at the end of the day? Or do I just want to feel calm that I have done as much as my brain power could take. To feel satisfied with the fact that it might not be the most productive day but I did enough that I don't have to keep berating myself over a half crossed to do list. Ahhhhh I wanna cry finally my neurodivergent brain is gonna feel at ease!!!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! It's so true that there is no point in feeling "disciplined" if we ourselves are suffering at the end of the day. I also believe that we should have at least some say in the definitions of "disciplined" and "productive"--if not in our work or school, then at least in our personal lives. Sometimes I simply cannot check off the to-do boxes because life gets in the way, and it took me so long to realize that I NEED to learn to be okay with that because if I don't, at some point, I may not have a tomorrow to make my life better with. Thank you again for sharing, and I wish you all the best ❤️
I totally understand you! I am so tired of following these productivity, hustle culture advice. “Consistency is Key to success.” That is totally not true for the neurodivergent brain (which I finally realized that I am ND). We are more emotionally driven, and our energy/mood is never consistent like neurotypical so “consistency” never works for us. So we have to work according to our natural energy levels and plan things based on our ever changing energy/mood.
I want to be more intentional with my free time instead of doom scrolling and mindlessly consuming YT content. I am glad to come across this video! I will be trying this strategy out! As for doing tasks for our jobs/studying, when you are feeling resistance and paralysis a great strategy is to think about how you would feel after completing this task. “How good will I feel when this is done?”
Thank you! I hope this approach works for you ❤️ and thank you for sharing--that is a great way to offer a perspective to see how motivated one might feel about those tasks!
I gave myself a break from doing anything “productive” this year I just do whatever I want to do. No plan just where my heart takes me. It’s been life changing and so much growth as a person
The music in this video was just delightful. I'm autistic and today has been super challenging, but I feel so much better after just watching this video.
the video was very inspiring! i am glad UA-cam recommended it 😅 i am planning so much about what to do, and honestly feeling really down these days. i will try to put my feelings first when planning for this week.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Yes, that was exactly how I felt and I thought to myself, "there has to be another way!" I do hope this can help you and that you will feel better very soon! ♥️
This is great! It's something ive been doing a while now. I ask myself not only how I want to feel, but what energy do i need to embody today for what i'm doing? I then play a little dress up. Its subtle so other people wouldn't nessecary notice, but I try to dress like the person who would be expert at that thing, makeup even on some days 😊
You popped up in my feed and I just had a feeling this is what I needed and it completely was, thank you for your video! This mental switch into focussing on how I want to feel at the end of the week/day/hour is what I need to mentally focus and stay motivated. Combining this with the “1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and go” it’s helping me combat the blockages of procrastination and lack of self motivation around personal growth that I have been experiencing after having two children who are turning 3 and 4 this year, I am suddenly finding myself having a bit more time and more energy to do more for myself and our environment again. I am invigorated by your words, thank you for sharing your story. This new subscriber is looking forward to your next! ❤
This... This might be a game changer! Thank you for sharing this method/idea! Most productivity hacks don't work for me cus they all insist on discipline and forming habits, but I have ADHD and autism, so trying to force myself to do stuff when literally everything I do in life takes up a decent wad of energy actually ends up being really painful and ends up to me getting burnt out :( I'm at a point in life where I know I have enough knowledge to try and optimise my life a bit more, but putting it into effect is really difficult, but this model might could be a missing piece. I'll give this a go and hopefully be back to share my own findings :)
i really like this and will give this a go. one comment tho, for my usecase definitely, is to not forget about the things you actually have to do I have deadlines to reach, and while the video is more of a vlog to me (more on creative life showing than info sharing) and doesn't really give me any solid advice on how to be "productive" or still keep up with life's demands I will try planning using the "to feel" rather than "todo". I think it would really help! (w some self-regulation on my end, bc I barely have enough wiggle time 😅)
I'm so bad at planning because I plan so many tasks that I not only don't have energy for them, but also forget to take breaks. I really like your approach as just taking the time to slow down and putting yourself in a good mood probably helps you finish the tasks you need to do as well. I'll also try to start focusing on my mood first to see if it helps me. Also, just wanted to mention I really like the slow pace of this video. I got so calm and inspired from all the different activities you showed to get energised that I temporarily forgot that the initial purpose of the video was to teach us about a different way of planning
I haven’t finished watching yet. Just want to say the flow and editing and messages are wonderful. Bit of ASMR added in for good measure. Relaxing and inspiring to watch on this sunny Sunday morning in London. 😊
I really enjoyed this video. It was very calming and just what I needed. I have what feels like endless to do lists but feel defeated when I can’t finish everything I planned. I am looking forward to using the “My week this was” when planning my week today :)
thank you! I'm definitely gonna try this! I'm struggling a lot with stressing myself and trying to do everything, so focussing on how I feel might actually make the difference for me!!
I love your indoor plants! May you please create a video about the indoor plants you have and how you take care of them? I'm trying to figure out which indoor plants I can adopt into my place for a much more homey feeling. Thank you!
UA-cam algorithm occasionally hits a home run for me, and this is one of those times. I've seen backwards planning content before but implementing it never worked for me. I didn't need it for my job, and in my personal life I am mostly dealing with health, family and other issues - I don't need to force productivity into an already overfull schedule. This is a breath of fresh air in terms of approaching life and ensuring my planning, which I do every day by simple necessity to keep my family, work and home on track, actually includes things in it that are good for me and will take me closer to *feeling* how I want to. Your coffee picture is so cute 🥰 I embroider so it takes me a really long time to finish projects, but that feeling of displaying something you've created just can't be matched 😊
Thank you for sharing this video ❤. I had an obsession with productivity & completing my to-do lists, which sometimes led to overwhelm on busier days or guilt for incomplete tasks. Lately, I’ve taken a slower & calmer approach to productivity for personal tasks which has been working well, but I sometimes end my days & weeks feeling empty…I will try this method to bring more fun & joy into my life ☺️.
So happy to found this video because last week, in a middle of a really stressful situation, i was wonder to myself: how am I feeling and what can I do with this feeling right now? It was surprising find out that I was actually doing more of that activities that I use to put on my to do list asking me that question, that just thinking in that as something that I HAVE to do. At the end it was actually a hard week but I eat better, do some exercise and complete some necessary task. Was incredible. So... that's what people was talking about when they say "listen to your body"... Your video has helped me to be more conscious of what I did and think how to keep it in time. Thank you so much!
I absolutely adore this video, never thought about this concept, but it makes sense! And so motivating and the vibes... Ah thank you for this video. ❤️
Thank you! I enjoyed so many effortless looking things in your vid, that I know take a trained artistic eye and skill that was built in many hours. The time lapse of the plant rising, the leaves caressed by the wind and the satisfying poc poc poc of the first ball hit by you in the pickle ball game and much more. Love your art and your gratitudes you mentioned. I'm also grateful for having the time to learn and satisfy my curious nature. Will try this more reflective way of planning that you came up with as a further step from the credited ted talk. Wether or not it suits me, I'm glad this is out there in the world to be helpful to others. I think in my specific case some executive dysfunction from my disabilities will get in the way, but I guess less then with previous planning styles. Wish you the best!:)
@svetlananana9609 Your message warms my heart--thank you for your kind words and listing the details of the video that you enjoyed. I truly appreciate your recognition and hope that this method helps you--I would be really happy if it does ❤️
This was a lovely video, super informative and perfect timing for the fall season 🤍 I really like how calming your voice is and the format you chose, very seamless and relaxing
I'm not a fan of time tables and to-do lists as well, often times it gets me worked up but end up not being able to act on it entirely. Your take on this and the new ways you introduced are interesting, I'm curious to see how my journey would turn out using this method. Thank you for sharing!
Great idea and technique! I have been struggling with getting a lot of things done, and I have found my motivation to be very very low. I have realized that how I feel is extremely important to me, and I like this approach. I’m going to start using it today! Thank you so much for your content - and I am a new sub now! 😃
Awww thank you! I am the same way with my feelings and this is one of the main reasons why I decided to try out this method. I really hope this approach works for you and thank you for your support! 🥰
Thank you for this wonderful inspiration. I'm thinking about and feeling into this approach and how it could work for me. Prioritising how I want to fell instead of what I think I should get done.
I feel like even if I wanted to, I just couldn't thank you enough for that video It has been weeks, not to say months, since I've been feeling sick about following a to-do, being organized, and just feeling like "tasks" were just not what I need to plan to have a great week. That didn't stop me from trying a lot of apps and systems because I was feeling like I should be organized like everyone else, but your view on the subject is definitely refreshing and soothing, I'm gonna try it ! Thank you a lot, the video was amazing !
@mariemstc Thank YOU for sharing such a meaningful message! When I first started to film this idea, I was not sure how it would be received--"Almost every one of us has tasks that we have to tend to, regardless of how we might feel about them, so would people have time to turn inward and follow this 'to-feel-first' and 'to-do-next' approach? What if people don't have time for that?" After trying this method, a big realization for me is that I NEED to Find time (squeeze time if I have to) for my feelings precisely because I usually deprive them of the time they deserve. They are a crucial part of my well-being and I need to make them a priority as much as I can. I truly hope this approach can help you ❤️
Hi Hey, Spark! I hope you’re doing well? I’m really glad UA-cam recommended your video because it helped me to concentrate on one feeling and it solved a lot of problems around stress about planning what I really want to accomplish during the week. I’m really grateful thank you so much ✨💎
@@heyspark I like to be selective with my time and my energy and this is like the magic trick that gave me balance in my way to organise my week I’m so glad ✨
This was such a good video. I can see how much effort and well planning 😂 this must have taken. Making videos and creating things always makes my time go by fast. Can’t wait to see more and love this concept!!
Loved this video! UA-cam suggested it to me and I'm so glad!! I'm kinda inspired to answer those questions for myself in my journal soon!✨ Alos subscribed!! 💖
this video found me when I needed more. thank you! I'd like to see a version of " my week this was" related to work/personal projects. Have you tried this method for this purpose?
Thank you for your kind words! This is the very first time I tried this method (I was simply curious to see how/if this would work when the idea came to me). I'm currently experimenting "my week this was" with a learning project and hopefully will share my thoughts soon! 🥰
I love your idea about steaming your food. What is the name of your little steamer? And does it come with recipes to learn how ro use it? I would love to buy one! And thanks so much for your video! I’m definitely going to try this method this week.🌻
This is such a good video. I have thought about this a lot. Many of us grow up considering only the opinions of others. We think, will this please my parents? Will this please my teachers? Will this save me from peer judgement or keep me out of trouble? We learn to never consider what we want, and depending on how judgmental our environment is, it can become extremely ingrained to not consider ourselves to the point that we struggle to even feel emotions, and it leads to long-term low-grade depression where we struggle to feel anything at all, especially joy from life. Once we grow up, we mostly lose those motivators BUT, since it's the only way we know how to exist, we keep an imaginary judge in our head that we do things for (otherwise we feel lost and adrift). Since it's imaginary, that judge can start to get out of hand because it is driven by anxiety about the "right" way to do things. We need to switch over to doing things for ourselves and our own happiness in life, so we need to very mindfully force ourselves to be more inwardly motivated, and practice it until it becomes second nature. I think this is the perfect way to begin that switch because it has that mindful planner aspect behind it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts here! I feel deeply moved as I read your message--it quite accurately describes my journey. I especially resonate with the consideration of everyone else's (authority figures and peers etc.) opinions but never our own and the "long-term low-grade depression". I'm also still working on how to practice doing things for myself and turning that into second nature. Thank you again for your thoughtful share ❤️
Really love the idea since I started documenting my feelings with the "how we feel" app. Due to this app, I am now more aligned with my emotions and already made some slow decisions on my daily live (deinstalling league of legends hahaha) And since none of my visions have really pulled me forward (some things happend, some didn't which is fine) I know decided to use more emotions for that, so that I can break it down further later :) THANKS
"how we feel" is a wonderful app! It showed me the importance of "using the right word to describe your feelings". Not many people I know are aware of this app--I am so pleasantly surprised to hear you are using it and finding it helpful! Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thank you! In that case, after I find out how I want to feel, I ask myself similar questions to find out activities that can contribute to that feeling. For example, if I want to feel calm, then some questions might be "Think of a time when you felt truly calm. What elements were present?", "Is there a ritual or routine that helps you transition into a calmer state?", "What kind of food or drink do you associate with feeling calm?" or "Who are the people in your life whose presence brings you a sense of calm? Do they have any qualities you can learn to adopt?" I would then do what I can to incorporate the answers to these questions into my week. I hope this helps!
This technique may work for you because you're near the INFP personality type. Why do I guess that? Because to-do's don't work for us! Time management doesn't exist for us! Thank you so much for a new framework in the just rising emotional management domain!
Such a great video -- I'm stunned you don't have more subscribers yet, so I'm here to help and subscribed. :) I watch a lot of planner videos, and on my channel show how I record what I "have done" rather than what I need "to do." The steps you have will help me approach my day with a broader goal while ensuring all I do is feeding that goal without it being a "to do." Love it.
Thank you very much! I love the "have done" approach! ❤️ You have some really great videos on Hobonichi--I have been wanting to try it for a long time! Looking forward to more videos on your channel! 🥰
Oh that's so exciting! Crocheting is so much fun! I don't believe I can share the pattern of the crochet but here are two amazing channels I follow: www.youtube.com/@bellacococrochet (I learned all the basic stitches from this channel), and www.youtube.com/@xiaoshimei (this channel has so many fun and cute patterns). I hope this is helpful! 🥰
@josmith2002 hi again :) I just realized that there are some crochet patterns on Etsy. I used "frog coaster crochet pattern" and many came up; you can also search for "sheep/lamb crochet coaster pattern" and change the colors and face so it looks more like the frog coaster in the video. Hope this helps! :)
Yes! lol You can find some patterns on Etsy (I used "frog coaster crochet pattern" as key words and many came up). Searching for "sheep/lamb coaster crochet pattern" and then changing the colors and the design of the face in the middle will be the closest to the one in the video. Hope this is helpful! 🥰
Lovely video and idea! What is that wonderful little steamer you have? I have not seen one like that before. It looks like it was able to hold your entire lunch.
Thank you! The brand of the steamer is BUYDEEM--yes, it's quite spacious, and I have seen some people stacking another tier on top and making food for 2-3 people :)
If you search "Shanghai xiandi network technology" in the app store (I use iPhone), you should see an app with a yellow background and a hand--it unfortunately does not have an English keyword I can find for easier search.
I mostly read non-fiction (humanities and social sciences). I've been meaning to start reading DUNE (I love the movies) --would you recommend it to someone who doesn't have a lot of experience in the fiction genre? :)
@@heyspark I actually haven’t read it yet! Some of my favorites are the expanse, the night ends with fire and keeper of the lost cities. The last one would be the best if you’re new to fantasy since it’s intended for middle grade

I'm glad that I've found this video! Will definitely give this approach a try :)
I'm not a fan of time tables and to-do lists as well, often times it gets me worked up but end up not being able to act on it entirely. Your take on this and the new ways you introduced are interesting, I'm curious to see how my journey would turn out using this method. Thank you for sharing!
Great idea and technique! I have been struggling with getting a lot of things done, and I have found my motivation to be very very low. I have realized that how I feel is extremely important to me, and I like this approach. I’m going to start using it today! Thank you so much for your content - and I am a new sub now! 😃
Awww thank you! I am the same way with my feelings and this is one of the main reasons why I decided to try out this method. I really hope this approach works for you and thank you for your support! 🥰
I thought this was great and so original. I also love your aesthetic!
Thank you for your kind words! So glad you like it! 🥰
Thank you, this is super informative! 6:05 I've really wanted to get into a similar habit.
Thank you for this wonderful inspiration. I'm thinking about and feeling into this approach and how it could work for me. Prioritising how I want to fell instead of what I think I should get done.
artisitic in all manners, Spark. Thank youuu 🌻
Thank you so much! ❤️
I feel like even if I wanted to, I just couldn't thank you enough for that video It has been weeks, not to say months, since I've been feeling sick about following a to-do, being organized, and just feeling like "tasks" were just not what I need to plan to have a great week. That didn't stop me from trying a lot of apps and systems because I was feeling like I should be organized like everyone else, but your view on the subject is definitely refreshing and soothing, I'm gonna try it ! Thank you a lot, the video was amazing !
@mariemstc Thank YOU for sharing such a meaningful message! When I first started to film this idea, I was not sure how it would be received--"Almost every one of us has tasks that we have to tend to, regardless of how we might feel about them, so would people have time to turn inward and follow this 'to-feel-first' and 'to-do-next' approach? What if people don't have time for that?" After trying this method, a big realization for me is that I NEED to Find time (squeeze time if I have to) for my feelings precisely because I usually deprive them of the time they deserve. They are a crucial part of my well-being and I need to make them a priority as much as I can. I truly hope this approach can help you ❤️
Hi Hey, Spark! I hope you’re doing well? I’m really glad UA-cam recommended your video because it helped me to concentrate on one feeling and it solved a lot of problems around stress about planning what I really want to accomplish during the week. I’m really grateful thank you so much ✨💎
@merlionkingdom Thank you so much! I am really happy to hear that this video helped you, and I so appreciate you taking the time to let me know ❤️
@@heyspark I like to be selective with my time and my energy and this is like the magic trick that gave me balance in my way to organise my week I’m so glad ✨
This was such a good video. I can see how much effort and well planning 😂 this must have taken. Making videos and creating things always makes my time go by fast. Can’t wait to see more and love this concept!!
I guess this is the most important video on UA-cam 🎉
Thank you very much! Your words are so very meaningful to me! ♥️
Thank you for sharing your ideas.
Traditional planning never worked for me. I basically just go with the flow (more of "to feel" rather than "to do").
Good luck on the nest race, you got this!
Thank youuu so much for sharing this.🙏🙏 This truly help. Much appreciated.
Please do more of this, thank youuu.🥰
Thank you for your support! I am so happy to hear that this helps you! ♥️
Love you tube....people teaching people
This will go on my to try list ❤
Loved this video! UA-cam suggested it to me and I'm so glad!! I'm kinda inspired to answer those questions for myself in my journal soon!✨ Alos subscribed!! 💖
Yay! I am so happy to hear that! Thank you for your support! 🥰
@@heyspark 😄💖
this video found me when I needed more. thank you! I'd like to see a version of " my week this was" related to work/personal projects. Have you tried this method for this purpose?
Thank you for your kind words! This is the very first time I tried this method (I was simply curious to see how/if this would work when the idea came to me). I'm currently experimenting "my week this was" with a learning project and hopefully will share my thoughts soon! 🥰
I like this concept. Gonna try it.
Wow, like this concept
Wat a great concept❤
Thank you! ❤️
I will try this ❤thank you for sharing 😘
Thank you! ❤️
I love your idea about steaming your food. What is the name of your little steamer? And does it come with recipes to learn how ro use it? I would love to buy one! And thanks so much for your video! I’m definitely going to try this method this week.🌻
Thank you so much! The steamer brand is BUYDEEM, and yes, mine came with a recipe book and it's quite handy :) I hope the method works for you! ❤️
@@heyspark thanks for your response! 💜 I hope you have a good week.🌻
This is such a good video. I have thought about this a lot. Many of us grow up considering only the opinions of others. We think, will this please my parents? Will this please my teachers? Will this save me from peer judgement or keep me out of trouble? We learn to never consider what we want, and depending on how judgmental our environment is, it can become extremely ingrained to not consider ourselves to the point that we struggle to even feel emotions, and it leads to long-term low-grade depression where we struggle to feel anything at all, especially joy from life.
Once we grow up, we mostly lose those motivators BUT, since it's the only way we know how to exist, we keep an imaginary judge in our head that we do things for (otherwise we feel lost and adrift). Since it's imaginary, that judge can start to get out of hand because it is driven by anxiety about the "right" way to do things. We need to switch over to doing things for ourselves and our own happiness in life, so we need to very mindfully force ourselves to be more inwardly motivated, and practice it until it becomes second nature. I think this is the perfect way to begin that switch because it has that mindful planner aspect behind it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts here! I feel deeply moved as I read your message--it quite accurately describes my journey. I especially resonate with the consideration of everyone else's (authority figures and peers etc.) opinions but never our own and the "long-term low-grade depression". I'm also still working on how to practice doing things for myself and turning that into second nature. Thank you again for your thoughtful share ❤️
this video trully help me thank you so much
Really love the idea since I started documenting my feelings with the "how we feel" app. Due to this app, I am now more aligned with my emotions and already made some slow decisions on my daily live (deinstalling league of legends hahaha)
And since none of my visions have really pulled me forward (some things happend, some didn't which is fine) I know decided to use more emotions for that, so that I can break it down further later :) THANKS
"how we feel" is a wonderful app! It showed me the importance of "using the right word to describe your feelings". Not many people I know are aware of this app--I am so pleasantly surprised to hear you are using it and finding it helpful! Thank you for sharing ❤️
I love this idea! What would you do if you wanted to feel a different way on a different week
Thank you! In that case, after I find out how I want to feel, I ask myself similar questions to find out activities that can contribute to that feeling. For example, if I want to feel calm, then some questions might be "Think of a time when you felt truly calm. What elements were present?", "Is there a ritual or routine that helps you transition into a calmer state?", "What kind of food or drink do you associate with feeling calm?" or "Who are the people in your life whose presence brings you a sense of calm? Do they have any qualities you can learn to adopt?" I would then do what I can to incorporate the answers to these questions into my week.
I hope this helps!
I think i needed your vid hopefully it works for me
Few seconds in and I immediately subscribed.
Thank you so much for your support!
This is interesting! I'll try!
you have a very lovely vibe! goodluck:)))
Awesome!
This technique may work for you because you're near the INFP personality type. Why do I guess that? Because to-do's don't work for us! Time management doesn't exist for us!
Thank you so much for a new framework in the just rising emotional management domain!
Such a great video -- I'm stunned you don't have more subscribers yet, so I'm here to help and subscribed. :) I watch a lot of planner videos, and on my channel show how I record what I "have done" rather than what I need "to do." The steps you have will help me approach my day with a broader goal while ensuring all I do is feeding that goal without it being a "to do." Love it.
Thank you very much! I love the "have done" approach! ❤️ You have some really great videos on Hobonichi--I have been wanting to try it for a long time! Looking forward to more videos on your channel! 🥰
Great idea 😊 thanks for making this video. I need to ask... which tablet and which apps are you using for your drawing and journaling? 🙃
Thank you! I am using iPad pro (2021), Procreate for drawing, and Prodrafts for taking notes :)
You, get me. I love you and I hope to see you grow. New subscriber
❤ this video- Thankyou. And I am just starting out Crochet- if you can, please share how to crochet your uplifting coaster 😊
Oh that's so exciting! Crocheting is so much fun! I don't believe I can share the pattern of the crochet but here are two amazing channels I follow: www.youtube.com/@bellacococrochet (I learned all the basic stitches from this channel), and
www.youtube.com/@xiaoshimei (this channel has so many fun and cute patterns). I hope this is helpful! 🥰
@josmith2002 hi again :) I just realized that there are some crochet patterns on Etsy. I used "frog coaster crochet pattern" and many came up; you can also search for "sheep/lamb crochet coaster pattern" and change the colors and face so it looks more like the frog coaster in the video. Hope this helps! :)
Creativity is something spontaneous. It's a happening. I don't get how many artists and creatives can be creative on demand?
Thank you for this
A wonderful video!
Thank you so much! 😊
Yes, GURL! But... Can we talk about the fluffy coasters? Where do I find the pattern? 😂
Yes! lol You can find some patterns on Etsy (I used "frog coaster crochet pattern" as key words and many came up). Searching for "sheep/lamb coaster crochet pattern" and then changing the colors and the design of the face in the middle will be the closest to the one in the video. Hope this is helpful! 🥰
Great video! I wish I could have plants since that always boosts my energy and I love them but my cats would eat them 🤣
It may be time to grow catnip, spider plant and other cat safe plants
@@rozennrd4802 I’ll try catnip! Surprisingly my cats don’t care about fresh catnip…
Lovely video and idea! What is that wonderful little steamer you have? I have not seen one like that before. It looks like it was able to hold your entire lunch.
Thank you! The brand of the steamer is BUYDEEM--yes, it's quite spacious, and I have seen some people stacking another tier on top and making food for 2-3 people :)
@@heyspark Thank you! I'll look into it.
Very cool video! What do you use to create these animations ?
Thank you! I used Procreate for the hand-drawn ones and Canva for the others :)
What's your app for activities tracking, which was on the main screen of the phone?
If you search "Shanghai xiandi network technology" in the app store (I use iPhone), you should see an app with a yellow background and a hand--it unfortunately does not have an English keyword I can find for easier search.
Who do you play pickaball?with?
thank you
Love your editing style. Curious what iPad app you use to free form write?
Thank you! The app is called Prodrafts :)
@@heyspark thank you!
My favorite genres and fantasy and sci fi (but I’m very picky) what’s yours?
I mostly read non-fiction (humanities and social sciences). I've been meaning to start reading DUNE (I love the movies) --would you recommend it to someone who doesn't have a lot of experience in the fiction genre? :)
@@heyspark I actually haven’t read it yet! Some of my favorites are the expanse, the night ends with fire and keeper of the lost cities. The last one would be the best if you’re new to fantasy since it’s intended for middle grade
@@karaquell8950 Thanks for the recommendation! Keeper of the lost cities looks very interesting, will look into it!
In which app you make all that graphics
I use Prodrafts for the handwriting scenes you see in the video, and Canva for the animated ones (the 5 questions with the green background). :)
damn your place is really nice
Thank you! :)
i saw pickleball and ran
Good luck

Is your mbti ISFP/ISTP? You're really similar to me! (I'm an ISTP) I related well to you.
You are very close! I'm ISFJ :)
We literally live in the same neighborhood 💀
Sorry that pickle ball sound is gross. Why are people playing an old people game? Lol
