1. Morning pages - Write down your thoughts first thing in the morning before you do things like email. 2. Drink lemon water 3. Do not disturb time - Use the do not disturb option on your phone. Amy suggests doing this in the morning to help start off your day productively, but she finds if she leaves it on the whole day she gets even more done. 4. Calendar block planning - Do this at the beginning of the week and tweak it the morning of if necessary. 5. Walking - Amy tries to make it to the gym 3-4 times a week and get 10,000-15,000 steps a day. One suggestion is to check emails on a treadmill. 6. Tidying up the house - Do something small, if you see an item in a room that belongs to the one you're going to then take it there. 7. Reading - Amy suggests reading right before bed.
@@lisqe4 You're welcome 😊 If I'm using my phone since I like to have tips like that on hand, I like to screenshot comments like this and put them in a folder on my phone so I can find them later on easily instead of having to rewatch a 15 minute video. (And of course spending time trying to find the right video in the first place). If you're like me and watch videos like this regularly, that might help you save some more time too.
Love the mail review in the treadmill! I do some reading because I get bored and some people say to me: OMG, just relax, but.. it's better and productive and not boring at all hahaha.
I've been doing morning pages for almost a decade now. I had a teacher assistant The Artists Way as a textbook for a psychology class alongside a book called the creative habit. I highly suggest both! Life changing books.
Can the lemon water be cold? As in, can I make it the night before and refrigerate or is it more effective when hot? I tend to get very hot in the mornings and a cold refreshing drink might work better for me
Huge congratulations! I'm new to your channel but have devoured your videos over the last few weeks and am in the process of reading your book. I'm soon to launch my own account and your advice has been heads and shoulders above anything else I've being diving into. Thank you so much and yay, you! x (And yes, please re. the calendar blocking vlog!)

YESSS. I do the multi-tasking treadmill tip, too! It helps me to answer DMs, comments, etc. I look up and realize that 3 miles have gone by. w00t! I love all your videos, Amy! Thank you so much for all of your tips. Also, since you mentioned not being able to make it to the gym all the time, I make home workout videos you can do anywhere. That way you don't have to take the time to get ready or make it to the gym but just click on a video and go from ^____^. /endofselfpromotion Legit doe, thank you for your videos! I'm almost done listening to Crushing It! because of you and it is helping me so much to get in the zone and crush it! ^____^
I would like to see a calendar blocking techniques video. I also wanted to say that I have a 14 year old dog who is only 10lbs so I totally feel you 😂 walking for fitness with a senior pup is totally not helpful 🙄
HI, Amy, always loved your video! I'd like to watch another calendar blocking video as I'm having trouble at making decisions right now...decision about whether I should blocking my time on my calendar as a way to 'plan my to-do-list in this week' (i found it difficult for me to really do what i planned) or 'what did i really do today/week?' after i really done them (there is no plan in my week anymore).Thanks!
I’m so excited to try the morning journal thing!!! I’ve always wanted to do it! On the mornings when you have nothing to write about you can write about your dreams! Always wanted to do a dream journal😍
Hey, Amy. I'm been trying calendar-blocking for two weeks now, there were days that it worked perfectly and others were a mess! Any tips, suggestions? Does it really take time to get used to the system? Oh, and do you use the notifications or do you shut them off? Cus there were days that they started to drive me crazy cut I started feeling like I was rushing things. (I receive notifications 30 minutes before the event.) Thank you!!
Carolina Aleixo receive notifications 10 mins before so it does not interrupt the task you’re doing and gives you a good 10 mins to think about the next task
Yay! Congratulations on getting your 100k YT plaque! =) And I'd really appreciate a how-to calendar blocking video. I've tried to do something similar, but I tend to just set up a schedule and not really follow it as much as I should...I kind of wonder if it's one of those things that's easier said than done - or maybe I'm just super scattered and disorganized. :/
I just can’t seem to get on the online calendar blocking bandwagon...I feel like I spend so much time looking at my screen that I need a visual break and therefore I keep going back to my paper planner.
Cucumber or watermelon is also really good in water. Cucumber is good for inflammation (which I have with my chronic pain illness) and just a few slices can add a ton of flavor.
So happy to hear someone else talk about morning pages!! I've done them almost every morning for 6 years now (started when I did The Artist's Way) and don't have any idea how I dealt with life before that. I've never been great at sitting still so I consider writing to be my form of meditation :)
Great video, Amy! So glad I stumbled upon one of your videos last month. I like to think of your channel as my go-to place to find information I wish I learned (but wasn’t taught) in school - I went to college for journalism, but we didn’t have courses on digital audience engagement. Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers!!!
#6!!!! I too do this. I started doing a weekly goal thing and for two weeks it was picking up the living room and clearing the table (which becomes a catch all). But yes deep cleaning is horrid and having someone do it is the best use of your time.
Perfect timing to hear this- started realizing my daily habits were slipping and need to get them back to have a strong foundation! Also, just did a video a couple of weeks ago on morning pages! I love them and recommend them all the time!
I love these! Although I prefer to check in with the time blocking for that day the night BEFORE. That way I’m not distracted by anything and can jump right into the first thing before anything else grabs my attention. #rabbitholes
I almost NEVER take my phone off of DND. I started doing this when I was doing school & work at the same time... I love it! I don’t like being interrupted by my phone. Like you said if it’s urgent there’s ways for people to reach me. It helps me not be distracted from unimportant texts/posts. I also turned off social media alerts so I don’t get notified. Super helpful.
YAY you put me in such a productive mood. I feel like anything can get done! You inspire me to be organized and use my time wisely! Thank you!!!! Yes, PLEASE do a calendar blocking video and include an explanation of how you keep track of daily tasks within blocks of time (if that makes any sense) love you and your videos! Also where is your necklace from?💕
Awwww my eyes are watering, such a motivation for me. I just love this kind of videos. In some point in my life I thought that I was crazy for wanted to be an organized person and track my time, my priorities and my goals but videos and content like this make me understand that I'm not crazy and this is actually VERY important for have the life that we really want, especially in this time that we have so many distractions going on around. Thank you for your work. You have a subscriber from Colombia btw :)
I would definitely like to see your break down of block scheduling. I watched the other video, but seeing it in action would definitely be helpful.Thanks for all that you do Amy!
Great video 5 minutes with family or pets in the am is a great way to set the attitude for the day. Playing with the pets without the phone for a few minutes sets a great tone of the day to not be too serious and also releases that oxytocin in the brain.
great job!! Your channel is growing super fast, I found you at just over 100,000 and it's taking off still! Do not disturb time really good for sure. Checking notifications and social media first thing is a hard habit to break but it helps so much to break it.
Congrats on the shiny button! Oh and thanks for the book recommendations from a couple of vids ago - I'm on my second listen to the Crushing It audiobook!
What great suggestions Amy, thank you! I used to do morning pages when I read "The Artists's Way," but I've gotten away from it. I'm going to start again tomorrow morning, So effective for creatives who get caught ip in the "hamster on a wheel" mental gymnastics. The lemon water sounds wonderful too!
Yes Amy!!! Please do the calendar-blocking video!! (like the bullet journal method video!!) Please please please! Thank you!!! You're the best! :D :D And congratulations!!! It's wonderful to get to be with you every week! :)*
These were really helpful. I’m always looking for ways to improve my daily routine to get my life together. Yes, please do an updated calendar blocking video.

Congrats Amy!! You do a great job!! 👏🏼👏🏼
Hi Amy, it would be amazing if you could be the calendar blocking video
After writing morning pages do you review them during the day?
Can the lemon water be cold? As in, can I make it the night before and refrigerate or is it more effective when hot? I tend to get very hot in the mornings and a cold refreshing drink might work better for me
I adore your style! Where is your top from please?
Hey whats ur hairstyle called i mean u have straighten or curled or what u have done plss tell me
I had Portuguese subtitles in a video I watched, and now there isn't, at least Spanish Amy, I'm trying to learn English
There's a little bonus at the end that I just HAD to share as soon as I could! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!! ❤

Calendar blocking sounds interesting - thanks for sharing

Scheduling on my calendar and making reminders help me get stuff done. 👍
I would like to see a calendar blocking techniques video.
I also wanted to say that I have a 14 year old dog who is only 10lbs so I totally feel you 😂 walking for fitness with a senior pup is totally not helpful 🙄
Yes please to a video on practical calendar blocking!!
I would love a calendar blocking video 🙏🏻😘
Yes please do the calendar blocking video 🙏🙏🙏❤️
I went and cleaned up my room after watching this...gotta start doing that 6th tip!
Calendar blocking video please.

Wow you’re so fuking clever why didn’t I think of that, why don’t you start your own UA-cam channel I bet it’ll be so successful
Yay! Congratulations on getting your 100k YT plaque! =) And I'd really appreciate a how-to calendar blocking video.

I live with two little humans that I can’t avoid 😂
I love the morning pages idea. I try to keep a notebook on my nightstand, need to use it more to get thoughts out of my head and onto paper!
I just can’t seem to get on the online calendar blocking bandwagon...I feel like I spend so much time looking at my screen that I need a visual break and therefore I keep going back to my paper planner.
Cucumber or watermelon is also really good in water. Cucumber is good for inflammation (which I have with my chronic pain illness) and just a few slices can add a ton of flavor.
I'd love to see an updated/in-depth video on your calendar blocking method!
Yes please Amy, an updated calendar blocking would be great!
Congrats on the silver play button Amy! Very well deserved
So happy to hear someone else talk about morning pages!! I've done them almost every morning for 6 years now (started when I did The Artist's Way) and don't have any idea how I dealt with life before that. I've never been great at sitting still so I consider writing to be my form of meditation :)

YES! Would love a calendar-blocking video!!
Congrats on your button! That's awesome! You deserve it!
I would literally have “coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee....” for 3 pages worth if I did this first thing in the morning. 😂
Yes! More time blocking videos please!

Please talk about calendar blocking more... I feel like it can really help me
Eeek that is so exciting!!!! Congrats on all of your subscribers. It. Takes. So. Long.
Thank you Aimee for making your channel so amusing and interesting 👍🏻😍

What?
Your not going to set your UA-cam plaque on the shelf next to your Vlog Like a Boss sign?
Lemon water wake-up? It looks a real wake-me-upper! And yes, calendar-blocking really helps a lot to get things done.
Omg I laughed out loud at the dog joke 😂 I have a beagle too! They're the best! 😍
Please do the calender blocking updated video. Seriously struggling with this so any advice would be much appreciated ❤
And congrats!!!!
Calendar Block tutorial. YES!
Never thought of doing the lemon water first thing in the morning, sounds like a great way to start of your day! Thanks for the idea, cheers!
I would like to get to know Lucy a little bit better. I like when you talk about her.

Congratulations for the price! It's well deserved, you're such an inspiration!
I really need to try the DND thing... Because I have a very short attention span once someone interrupts me. : /
I got a little emotional for you! Congrats on the plaque - that's a HUGE achievement!
I'd love a video about calendar blocking. Congratulations for the award!
That ending part was spectacular!!! And yes, it totally is an updated Bougie version.... CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎊

Do not disturb time really good for sure. Checking notifications and social media first thing is a hard habit to break but it helps so much to break it.
Would love an updated video of calendar blocking sounds interesting to me to see what a visual like example would be
1) Great tips, need to steal some of these!
2) Congrats on the play button!!!!!!!!
Love your hair and makeup here!!! 💁🏻♀️💁🏼♀️💁🏽♀️
Morning pages was such a time sink for me. One day it took me two hours to fill three pages.
Congrats on the shiny button! Oh and thanks for the book recommendations from a couple of vids ago - I'm on my second listen to the Crushing It audiobook!
Yes!! Morning lemon water!
Yes to the calendar thing and CONGRATULATIONS!!
