So here are my tips I've learned

•Put phone away

●limit screen time

•start the limit slow, like 10 minutes

●use a book you WILL like

●dont be afraid of writing words that you dont understand and look them up. (It Helps, I've done it)

● take notes and look over them

● start with a small book

● try and keep track of the times you are getting better ✨️

●just have a good time reading 📚

It's not a race, we now a days have phone laptops. ipads make it a bit harder to focus on, and I understand that's my issue right now. So just be gentle and dont overthink or get the biggest book to act smart.

●Hope this helps●

The past two months have been stressful and exhausting. We have so many roles in life that we need to take into consideration, I’m supposed to be a teacher, a full time student, a part time worker, an older sister, a daughter, a friend, etc. Sometimes the roles collide with one another, which can cause stress. The past few weeks I’ve been working as a teacher (not getting paid as it is a part of my study), which means I’ve also had to work my part time job, at the same time that I’m supposed to prepare for my exams and write my exam essays, be a good friend etc. It came to a point where I just didn’t have any more to give. There was no energy left and I got sick. I literally told my friend “I barely have time to catch my breath, let alone sleep and eat”. This made me think of a Norwegian idiom “pust i bakken”, which basically means “take a moment to catch your breath while walking uphill”. It made me think. Why not make the time? If i really needed it, which I clearly did. 

Taking breaks, as needed, made everything better in the long run and it made me perform better in all my roles. Overexertion got me nowhere but to a dark place. But I have most definitely learned. Read a book for fun, watch a show on Netflix, go for a walk in the park, simply log off internet for a few hours and do some yoga, do whatever makes you relaxed and happy! Because remember, it’s okey to take a break when you need it. :)

Have a checklist to reduce complexity in what you do. Make the index a routine when doing a specific task (putting the work in now to create the list will lower the risk of missing something or failure). Make it precise, efficient, easy to use, essential things bulleted and practical.

The way we look at it is that if a person is not here for some time can someone come in and know what each step to do in each given task... The answer is no, but with this new knowledge, we will start building a checklist to follow, from sales to marketing to accounts to content.

But you can also use this for your personal life. Create a checklist to build a routine that changes your thought and feeling from the start to the end of your day.

Routines turn into habits. These habits can change your mood, emotions, and actions, make you start in the present day and are in the right frame of mind.

To build a checklist to use that incorporates time for each specific task from:

waking up - what routine can you use to enhance the morning routine (meditation, drinking water, cold shower, journaling etc.) to specific actions within the day to night time routine to relax, unwind and sleep better (meditation, blue light, journalling, no stimulants etc.)
