Just a reminder to anyone who needs to hear it: your worth is not equal to your productivity
Thank you 💗
OMG thank you so much I really needed this❤
Thank you!
Emma Cassady thanks so much ❤️ I’m always hard on myself. Productivity can be hard with clinical depression.
Also important reminder is one's productivity is not equal to others productivity - don't compare each others, we all have different life, goals and experience, just try to observe others, their tips(like in this video), try for yourself and without judging yourself. One step at the time :)
if ur in a rush
1. Make your bed
2. 2-minute rule
3. Focus on ONE thing at a time (open, inprogess, complete sticky notes)
4. Nourish yourself
5. Read
6. Meditate
7. Take time for your family and loved ones
time stamps are in the description!
thank you!!
THANK YOUU!
I'm sad cause all these videos say the same thing and I still watch all of them just to fail miserably with taking up these habits.. Hope that changes this year.
gabbi ella Thank you sm!❤️
Thanks!
"when you invest into ppl, ppl will invest back into you."
I like that.
Now to find people to invest in is the hard part :/
Naaaah they def don’t
Love the concept but sadly it's rare. A lot of the time now, when you invest in others they just leach off of you because you've given them the ability to do so. Sad reality.
not in western culture, unfortunately.
It's not true all the time.
"Focus on one thing at a time"
My ADHD: *LOOOOOOLLL*
🤟🏽😔
😂😭
I find that what helps (I'm autistic but adhd and autism kind of overlap a lot in symptoms and such) is turning that "focus" into a central and small part of something you want to accomplish. For neurotypicals cleaning, say, the bathroom, is one thing, but for us it isn't! So it's ok to divide one big task into smaller ones, so instead of cleaning the whole bathroom, you can focus on your sink: put inside the cabinets the things you don't use much, and clean the mirror. If you get distracted that's ok too, just remember that for now the center of your attention is the sink, you can walk around the house and look at your phone, but the sink is the goal. There's nothing wrong in taking longer to do things, everyone has their own pace and we shouldn't strive to please the impossible goals neurotypicals find easy, we can instead focus on ourselves and be kind and attentive to our needs :^)

HI TO EVERYONE WHO COULDN'T KEEP THEIR NEW YEARS RESOLUTION: IT'S COMPLETELY FINE! You know new years is just like very other day, depression doesnt go away just because it's new years, stress and anxiety doesn't go away just because it's new years :) But but but, in that regard, every other day can be like the first day of a new year too! Which is just a fancy way of saying starting any day is fine. It's never too late. Even if as you read this you think 'i can't ill have to do it tmr', so be it. starting tomorrow is better than starting next month, and starting next month is better than starting next year.
You can do it loves!
Thank you
me watching this in march:
lets gooo new year new meee
that is a mood
Me watching in may
me watching during corona time: might as well get my life together 😂
Me watching in June:
✋In june.. yaayyy better late than never 😂
6 months in 2020. and this is the kind of videos im watching
If you have Netflix, the documentaries “Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret” and “The Game Changers” changed my life. Idk if you’ve seen either before but they’re really interesting :)
cloudanimal Here is my question; India- a country that does not eat meat- is one of the countries that produces all types of harmful gases. How does that work?
@@maymel3601 I think they allow animals too much in their life
@@maymel3601 i've been wondering the same. despite not "eating" cow meat, India is one of the biggest exporters of beef in the world
may001 only about 1/5 of India is vegetarian (not sure which percentage eats beef though). India is also a huge producer of leather, which primarily comes from cows
I'll check them out!
remember when we thought 2020 was going to be a good year?
It’s perspective. There’s so many things out there that can define you other than a pandemic. It’s still a good year. Good changes are happening all around you. 🙂 I know thinking positive is a hard thing sometimes but just try smiling today. It’ll make you feel better and see things differently.
Dear Rowina, I want to let you know how much your channel has deeply impacted my life. I continually return to your channel to coach me through college and the process of adulting. Thank you for continuing to create content. You are truly changing lives far more than you’ll ever know. Xoxo from an east coast girl.
Yeah sometimes we don't realise what we don't know or how to figure out life!
Same here! It has really helped alot
East coast rep!
“Do one thing at a time”
I’m watching this while doing a wall sit...
This is one of the only new years videos I've watched that actually felt calming rather than overwhelming. I never comment, but I just wanted to say thank you, Rowena, for all the kindness you put into the world and into your videos. Your hugs and kind words have helped me feel less alone this year. I've loved watching your journey, and I look forward to watching your videos as you continue to be vulnerable and share your growth with us. Thank you! *virtual hug* 🤗
If only she knew what 2020 had coming for us...
A little foolishness, enough to enjoy life, a little wisdom to avoid problems is all we need
My room is always spotless but like tbh during school, my room represents my stress so it can get super messy and it says something about me
I've never heard of this channel until today but I just wanna say you are a beautiful human being on the inside and thank you for inspiring others!
the one useful thing that i need of this is *to focus on one thing*
Thank you for this it's definitely needed. My boyfriend and I broke up on Christmas and I had to move out of town. I'm lost right now but I know good things are coming. These videos help me a lot to see into the future a little bit and let me know that everything will be okay.
Consider it a hard reset for the new year! Everyday it'll get better and you'll learn to love yourself more than you ever knew you could. This time next year this won't be a problem💗💗
SatansShoe I’m so sorry to hear that! Wishing you the best! :))
@@anabrr1123 Thank you! That's how I've been trying to see things. No rain, no flowers right? Things will be better before I even know it!
@@rachelhoughtaling210 Thank you, it needed to happen. It's hard right now but it'll get easier.
i broke up with my boyfriend a week before christmas and i feel you. i spent a week and a half neglecting myself completely as a way of coping, now i'm getting back on track. it makes me immensly happy that you are still positive and looking up to getting better!! best wishes
i love Rowena's voice hugs there literally like the best things in the world would love to get a real hug from this amazing soul you really have helped me threw some rough times thank you for being an amazing an wonerful person Rowena
Thank you Rowena! You’ve continued to give me piece of mind when I tune into a video and have helped simplify the noise in my head. Wishing you tons of love and happiness in this new year.
I like that u have subs in Spanish, I shared this video to all my friends, now they can read the subs and understand
goodness i needed this... your videos always come exactly when i need them
Rowena, it has been amazing to watch you grow this year and even the year before! I can't wait to see all the amazing things you do in 2020 and keep putting out self-help content
I never comment on YT videos but here it goes. How refreshing seeing an "influencer" being so deep, eloquent and articulated. Spreading a positive message, recommending reading and kindness instead of highlighters and lip fillers. What a breath of fresh air to hear complete sentences instead of "like, and I feel like, coz it's just like, like it's crazy, like it's amazing, OMG, like so cool, I'm really like..." If you know what I mean. You go girl. Cheers from Portugal.
Thank You Rowena. I’ve been a viewer for the past year and I wanted to share my appreciation. Your kindness and generosity is very much appreciated. You truly inspire and I hope 2020 brings you nothing but the best.
just watching this video made me feel so calm and excited about the new year! the last year or so your videos have inspired me to change many of my habits and although I still have a ways to go, I've made a lot of progress and am so much happier and more productive than I've ever been! thank you so much for everything you do
I really didn't want this video to end... it made me feel the calm I haven't really experienced much lately. Thank you.
Watching ur productivity vids is becoming an addiction
love this rowena!! I really look up to you in your motivations and you’ve really helped me in staying true to myself! keep it up!!🤩💓
I love how improve your self all the time and we all have these times that we focus in some thing and fogot yourselves we must make a balance in our lives ...good luck
Rowena, thank you so much for this video! I’ve been experiencing a very low period of time in my life right now due to my obsession with working and being productive. I can’t put into words how much I love your videos and how inspiring you are to me. I’m watching this video after my first night of fully sleeping and feeling rested after months of insomnia, panic attacks, and debilitating physical symptoms. I’m feeling optimistic and hopeful that 2020 will be a better year and this is also thanks to you. Bless you and hope you have a great life. You’ve got a new fan!
I appreciate you so much without even personally knowing you. Thank you for existing🙏🏽🤧
Your videos always make me feel calm, in peace and ready to do big things. Thanks, Rowena.
Thank you Rowena for everything that you do. Your videos are so calming. Sending hugs
I was writing down in a notebook questions I'd ask myself on why I do or think a certain way that isn't necessarily positive. I even drew out simple pictures to represent different aspects of my life and then write down the things I could do better for each category, from my finances to my fitness and work life. I am feeling really down now about where I am in many aspects because I wasn't managing myself well enough to not be broke a week before my paycheck comes out and a pile of laundry not washed sitting on my washer.
Since starting my new job, I haven't really done much meditation and I noticed a drop in my mental health, emotional well-being and productivity/efficiency at work. This is when I constantly have to remind myself that I can always change my situation and poor habits/behaviours. I appreciate that this video is reminding me to do the little things I forget to do, and I love how your voice is so soft, soothing and heart warming even though I'm feeling really sad now.
Thank you Rowena! Your voice hug was the best thing of my day. Thank you for being the big sister we all need: kind and loving.
I love your videos so much. You’re so authentic and original. Keep on 💙💙
Your videos are so valuable to me. Thanks for all that you do!
These videos calm down my stressful thoughts within a heartbeat ❤🙏
You're a big inspiration for me this 2018 and 2019. That was during my thesis days. It help me keep sane and be productive (potato) when I don't really feel like myself. And now that I'm entering adult life, I'm coming back to remind myself to live life. I love your videos because you don't only list things but explains the whys too. The philosophical points just makes everything human too. No matter what will happen, I'll keep revisiting your channel and just remind myself that I can be a potato.
A habit that you mentioned which is reading has seriously made such an impact on my life in 2019! i just started reading again two months ago, and I've been learning SO much!! thank you for such an informative video Rowena 😍
I love that these tips were general and for everyone!! And pretty simple❤️
Happy new year, Ro! 💃🎊 You've been such a blessing to me this past year. Thank you for what you do. Mwaaaa 😘
Just discovered you and I’m so thankful! I’m going to try the sticky notes and focus on one thing at a time instead of the loooong to-do list I’ve been doing.
Watched this 3x to fully absorbed and implement everything. 💛 you inspire me a lot. I don’t do meditation but seeing your videos makes me feel that I’m unconsciously doing it. Being still and calm and embracing everything.
Rowena! Cheers! ! have been consuming your content since the end of 2018. I want to thankyou for giving me hope when i had no-one. Your story inspires me. I am 21 now, i put all of my 2019 into making my brand, my biz, my yotube. It has been sooooo rewarding. I create content that helps people better their lives. Thankyou for being such a support. I would want to meet you one day soooon.And happy 2020 my mentor from a far place!
Happy 2020 babe!! Thanks for the tips. I hope you have a great year
thanks rowena!! you are like a big sister in the youtube community ❤️
You are so well spoken. Peaceful video. I love your content.
Happy New Year Rowena! I hope this new year (and decade) brings you hope, love, and peace
You have such a calming voice ,
Thank you.
I love how much knowledge you have. Like you just are always learning and know so many things and you always have the best quotes
Rowena is the big sis i never had
Thank you so much Rowena for making my more meaningful🙏
Thank you Rowena. This video just popped up on my feed at the perfect time. I am embarking on a new chapter of my life after quitting my super stressful, even downright abusive, job in hopes of achieving better balance and self care in my life. As I watched, I immediately implemented the 2-minute rule and felt immediate relief, peace, and a sense of accomplishment in doing the simple things I tend to put off. Thank you for helping me kick off my new journey. :)
Her voice is so soothing...these videos definitely help me relax a lot with my busy schedule
you are never Alone! thank you for you!
Dear Ro, I am really excited for your podcast. I love hearing your chill voice , it would be a bliss to listen to you. Ik u probabbly gonna have guests and convos but my tiny suggestion would be that along with guest episodes make episodes where u just talk (like here :) )
Thanks for these videos for the past two years, it helps me keep insight within my life
I feel you on the friends and relationshipa thing. That is what I want to work on next year, getting out of my house and into the world, making connections and meeting new fun people !
I cant understand what a person can dislike about a video as good and beneficial as this !!
Your videos always come at the perfect time for me ❤️ I hope you are well
Rowena, I just love you so much!
Really loved the video! Hope u have a great start in the new year 💖
Thank you for the simple habits you provided for us Rowena!! I'll incorporate some of them for my 2020 habits 💖 Happy new year!!
Finally someone else who uses the post-it notes on the wall thing! When I tell people about it thet look at me like I'm insane. I love having an overview of what I need to get done and what I've done.
I tend to write down all of my classes and homework/pre-reading. Like a wall calendar but with post-its!
I've got to start doing the 2-minute rule. Great video!
This video is what I exactly need right now. Thanks, Rowena! 😊
Loved this! I needed this. Your video gave such a nice warm feeling and I hope to incorporate those habits as well in my life rn and in 2020
Your channel helped me so much this year. Thanks
Thank you Rowena for another awesome video!! I love it all 😍. Very inspiring and interesting that I will apply these habits more frequently in my life from now on, not just in 2020.
i just discovered your videos and i am so happy I clicked on your channel!
You're awesome! I find some of your videos so grounding. We need more young adults like you! Take care sending you new years best wishes xxx
It’s only been 4 days since the new year/decade and I’ve already been through some pretty crappy stuff. I needed this reminder!
anyone watching this during quarantine?
I appreeciatee all the ework that goes into thesee and I don't want to take them for granted
Your videos are so relaxing.. I was really stressed before watching this and now I can honestly say I feel a lot more relaxed so thank you. Definitely subscribing
Great tips! Thank you!
Girl! I love you I needed this video!!!!!
You have helped me so much in so many ways thank for putting out real and awesome content and putting yourself out there ❤️❤️❤️
Really enjoying your videos-I so appreciate how far you have come and see huge parallels in my own story. Thanks for the work you are doing and the way you speak to us as peers.
Ambition is great, inspiring others is great. When you are ignoring your own well being internal and external.. It's not worth it. If it's an either or, we need to take a deep breath and re-evaluate! Choose yourself!
Yep, gonna download this videos audio and listen to it 24/7 now thank u.
i've just discovered your channel and i just wanted to say that this was super helpful! i've never been the type of person to look into "improving your life" videos as i used to be very depressed and would mope, but it's interesting to watch stuff like this and pick up little ideas or habits that are mentioned! i'm not so much of a fan of mainstream youtube videos discussing topics like this, i definitely prefer your content as i find our lifestyles similar!
I've been on a self-improvement kick and hopefully, I can gain more writing skills this year through trying to better myself.
Good to see you Rowena
小小的改變，大大的不同
I love those proverbs!
Really enjoyed this! :) makes me feel like I’m doing something right bc I already do a lot of these practices
Thanks to you in 2019 I started applying the 2 minutes rule, and sometimes I let it pass but in general it was a great addition to my life
Your videos make me wanna be a better person, and that is more than I could've ever asked for ❤
Rowena，看你的视频总是可以让我的心平静下来~ love ya~
Thank you for your helpful video xx
This video was lovely 💗
Absolutely sincere and helpful.
I appreciated watching this it was very calm and simple. Lots of bits of wisdom in there.
Thank you for such a beautiful video, I just happen to come across your channel and it is wonderful that that happened. You are lovely.
UA-camrs be like: you want to change your life and become a better human being here’s how
*make your bed*
It helps a lot though.
I cleaned my room 2 week ago and thad made me feel so full. I haven't cleaned it this week and I'm sad again but hey I tried
Fun fact, in the army the first thing you’re supposed to do is make your bed because it will kickstart your brain into a more productive mode
Its the first task of the day. If you are not able to do the easy stuff how will you be able to do the bigger things.
Another thing why it's so important to do your bed. In the first hour after waking up you are super sensitive. Good things are more likely to brighten your day and vis versa. And doing your bed is a good thing. So, you are boosting your day with that.
Lol. Did my mom tell you to say that?
You are amazing! This video was exactly what I needed before entering 2020 :)
Thank you for all good advices 💕💕
Thank you Rowena for the Post-it productivity system (and everything else too). I've been using the post it note system for my work and university since you first talked about it, helped me a lot to keep my sanity (and keep track of my tasks) in the middle the pandemic!!!! love you ;)
Hehe love u, will definitely be implementing these into my life 💕
