working & studying from home | 7 tips for staying healthy & productive
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 07. 2024
- Having worked from home for the past few years, I'd like to share seven tips on how to be mindful of our mental, physical, and emotional health so that we can be productive when it's time to be. Some days I'm able to muster up 80% effort and other days I'm closer to 2%. Whether you have been thriving at home or have turned full potate, know that so long as you’re trying your best, any percent is more than enough in such uncertain times.
And remember, no matter where you are and how your feeling, know that you are not alone and that we're all going through this together. ❤️

‘’ we’re the first generation to have feelings about feelings ‘’
That made me laugh my ass of. Like no way we are the first. That's just called shame and repressing shit.
It's been around forever.
Whoa. Mind blown haha!
@@noname-rj7dx i thinks she means that we are the first generation that is not oppressed by having feeling about feelings
haha I enjoyed this one too!
How Much Effective This tips for you ? i'm struggling with this for a month now :(
Rowena you are god sent...
for the past 5 hours i’ve been doing nothing but staring at the ceiling convincing myself to do anything and it drove me crazy how much i cant get myself to do anything, resulting in a breakdown. Seeing this video’s notification on my phone calmed me down and gave me hope again to give myself another chance. Always learning to be kinder to myself with you, thank you so much for your content, i hope you know the positive impact you have on your viewers♥️
your videos make me happy, thank you again.
much love all the way from egypt!
You can do it Todd. A tip I have/use regularly when I don't want to do something is to count to 3, then go do it.
you see I have the same problem..... but in my case it's been over 4 weeks now. I'm so mentally exhausted
Shut up Todd 😜
If you are able to take an epsom salt bath, it's my favourite way to reset
Awwwwwww just found her and I feel the same way so happy for you I too was in a rut of depression and frustration so bad I wanted to climb through my own skin thank God literally I made it through those dark personal hours thank God for the small blessings and miracles so happy for you😊
Rowena is a guide to life, you should make a Podcast on Spotify
I second that
Well lets hope Ro reads this
retweeted
agreed
I wouldn't go that far. She is good but not the best in the world.
i've just been procrastinating so much that i missed the deadlines for my essays because I'm stuck in such a bad headspace. thanks for posting this just at the right time.
65 Percent omg same it sucks like why am I like this
you got this just believe in yourself!
I'm in the same situation :(
I'm not missing them! I'm just not giving anything enough effort, so my grade has just dropped. 😥
I’ve been home for about a month and I haven’t studied at all. As soon as we go back to school I have exams to write. The thing is I’m tired. Tired. Just tired. Really tired. I can’t study. All I want to do is sleep and eat. I’m really tired. I really hope I can get back on track before school starts.
Veronica Vanderwood, thank you very much. I’ll try your advice. I think it’ll work out like that. I hope it works out for you too. *holding hands for support*. We have to pull through better. I really hope we do.
I feel like this too, but I hope it'll get better soon - and I'm sure it will. Keep in mind you are not alone, there are other people feeling like this too!
How are you all doing now loves?
Catherine W. Hi, yeah I am. I’ve not been studying much really. I kinda went into a state of depression but I’m out of it. I aim to try to do it everyday from next week. Thank you so much for checking on me. It means a lot.❤️ I hope you’re okay?
júlia vital verli, thank you🙏🏾 ❤️
“Emotions need motion” ❤️
Nice qwote
Rowena: “know that so long as you’re trying your best, any percent is more than enough in these uncertain times.”
My teachers: “WORK YOU LITTLE SH*TTERS. WE HAVE TO GET THROUGH THIS MATERIAL IT COUNTS AS 75% OF YOUR GRADE”
Ro: Name your feelings.
Ro: "Becky ♡"
😂 okay edit: I've been putting on my make up more often now than when I worked at the office lol! Helps me feel like i am ready for the day.
This is like the things I can do at home, if I'm alone. But it seems impossible to do them, once you have other 5 family members living under the same roof.
Tell. Me. About. IT!!! At first adjusting i would cry, I felt suffocated in a crowed household having to work from home with chaos in the background. Everything’s good now but I seriously cannot wait for things to go back to normal 😅
BRO same I got 5 family members and if I'm tryna wake up and have a good mindset blah blah my mum would just come in and scream at me or just make me mad and then i won't feel like doing anything at all! Like I wish I could live alone ugh I mean I luv them but they are the reason why i live with so much negativity
We r mostly poc i think who live with family
100% feel the same.
I've gotten into the habit of daily exercises. But I've also been snacking more frequently and have been procrastinating on big project proposals that have just lost its meaning to me now but still have deadlines 😣
Pomodoro method helps me sometimes
This unprecedented time in human history is exposing each and every one of us to our actual self-discipline. Without the time constraints we normally have, now you have SO much more time than before. This either makes or breaks us. We can hit the ground running with starting that business or side-hustle, or we can binge Netflix all day. The choice is truly up to you. I strongly advise you set up time barriers so that you aren't wasting time all day or burning yourself out for work. Exercise this hour, work this block of time, relax in this time window, etc.
I hope you guys are challenging yourselves and accelerating towards your goals in life!
Her voice is the only thing keeping me calm during quarantine.
To be honest, I’ve watched like 983939 videos on CZcams about “tips for working/studying from home” and I can say, THIS
was reallyyy the best one so far!! 😍😍 I love your style, how you break down each topic and give ACTUAL and RELEVANT tips from books/ your experiences. I also love the goofiness and high school musical quote 😂😍😏 thank you soo much Rowena!! Please keep on creating~~💜✨
I just cried at this video I'm so exhausted by this situation. Rowena you were literally sent from heaven, thank you for trying to help us all xxx
Same here. The emotional toll that this has taken on us is underrated
totally feel you
“Becky” 🤣 Thank you so much for that, Rowena, I needed it and I didn’t even know 😄❤️
thank you for this!! i've been putting myself down a lot because of how unproductive i am but i forget that we're in a pandemic! and it's okay to not be at my best productivity-wise. i'm trying
This is so much helpful , that most of us is in the middle of crisis and still trying to be productive. Thank you Rowena for boosting everyone to be productive :)
i will be starting school on monday, and i’ve been feeling so overwhelmed. this video is so timely, as always. thanks ro 🥰🤍
Same!!! I'll be going back soon too and I've been putting off doing my homework for as long as possible.
Wait, are you actually back in school rn?
@@svimarie6844 No but next week
I’ve been watching you for as long as I can remember and I’m so glad you’re glowing like always Rowena c: you look a bit tired, I hope you are rewarding yourself with well deserved rest and all the little things that bring you joy. you’re beautiful and I love youuuuu rowenaaaa ✨💛✨🌿
Your weekly uploads provide me comfort, you have no idea how much I look forward to these. The voiceovers, the role plays 👍🏻. Thank you for helping us get through this together!
I enjoy your way of covering a serious topic. You manage to be so light hearted about it, and it's soothing ☺
your videos are literallyy so positive and calming to me. even though i'm not the best at being balanced, your videos make me so so happy. i just recently found your youtube channel and i. am. obsessed. you are so underrated and deserve much more recognition because you help so many people out, like me.
also, your voice is asmr to my ears, it's so calming and soothing and ily
You literally just hit every single conversations I’ve been having with my friends and explained it so much better than my mind could’ve interpreted thank you
Rowena your videos are SUCH divine timing. Thank you so much for all the work you put in to help others, you are amazing!! ❤️
My days get better whenever you post a new video. I've been a subscriber for a while now and I'm super thankful I came across your channel when I first did. Thanks, Rowena. Stay safe!
You are literally one of the only people who catch me in the youtube rabbithole, and help me move past it. You've inspired me to tell my own story and start a channel myself! I love what you talk about and I just wish I could someday inspire somebody in such a profound way as you have inspired me. Much love ❤
You put so much work in all of your videos. Thank you for the consistency, the hard work, the researches, and everything. Take care !
Thank you for making the videos that you make. There is no other person or channel for whose videos I wait. Your videos make me to want to do better. Your voice has been one of the most calming voices ever for me. 🙏
Rowena, thank you for your videos. In some ways they make me feel seriously inadequate, my adhd won’t let me be on your level! But mostly, your tools and practices are still going to help me cope with life and your calm influence is really good for my soul. You have the most beautiful smile! Thanks for sharing this for us.
the whole feelings bit is probably the best thing ive seen all week. so funny, but hit home. i havent checked in on my mental state in a long time because ive been finishing school and working as a delivery driver. thank you so much for the much needed reminder. you are amazing rowena 🤍
I love this video so much!! Exactly what I needed. I’ve been in such a rut, but I already know that this is going to help me get back on track!!
you're such a SUNSHINE and make me smile everytime-thank you for those ideas and inspo. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!
I’m a new subbie I literally found you this morning and have been binge watching all your videos I love your energy and your wisdom you have to offer on maintenance of emotional and mental health, I suffer from depression and your Videos make me feel at peace while also giving me great tips ...thank you do much for your content !❤️
Thank you for this video! I think Rowena is the perfect balance between motivational and gentle.
That five stages of grief thing was so real for me. Looking back, my emotions and where I am now make so much sense! Definitely gained energy from this haha
I love how compassionate your content is! I'm sooo inspired by you :)
I enjoy watching your videos about spiritual and mental gains and the knoweldge you gain from books that you share. I have really enjoyed watching those videos and rewatching. I actually have one of your videos hand wrote out and read it a few days in the week as a major motivation to keep me focused.
But...I wanted to say...with all that's going on...this video I too enjoyed...but in a different way....it was so relatable..wanting to break out of boredom, get a lil fit, act a lil goofy, getting those morning blues that linger through out the day...your humor was definitely uplifting and more inspiring to be positive and just let loose every once in a while.
Thanku!
Thank you Rowena for the motivation and help. I’ve been trying to be productive and it just helps to use this as a guide. You are a very quality human. I strive to be as efficient and forward thinking as you are. Have a great day
I started listening to Ryan Holidays books after you recommended them! They are so useful and full of answers to questions i couldn't answer myself. Thank you Ro!
This is the most realistic, refreshing and helpful quarantine productivity video I’ve seen so far! Thank you so much Rowena❤️
Rowena, i think ive been subscribed for a few years. And i was just thinking that im so glad i do because watching your videos have always made me feel better. Its like these videos bring me back down to earth, like they help me get my head out of the fog. And especially now during these weird times, i feel like ive been so out of it. So i just wanted to say that I appreciate you and your videos.
I honestly love your videos. They're so soothing to watch and the advice you give is brilliant. Thank you!
I legit come here to listen to your voice, its so peaceful
THANK YOU, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FROM FOREVER
for the past two days i've been feeling too much, i've been so overwhelmed by and haven't found a way to let it all out... the "name your feelings" post-it thingy might be a fun way to explain or not, but i'm doing it! also, thank you so much for this video, it's exactly what i needed right now 💜
ro, i've recently fallen into a really disappointing time in my life and your videos have kept me going. thank you. ❤️
The article about grief is fantastic. It helped me so much to understand what I feel and why.
I LOVE that you said to love our feelings like if its our love!!! Hugging the chair is hilarious!!! So silly! I love it! GREAT INSIGHT! THANK YOU!!! ❤
“BECKY” 😂😂😂 Okay, that does it! I’m subscribing to this awesomeness!
thank you rowena. i have been binging on ur videos, and it has helped a lot. stay safe and love you
Thankyou sooo much for this video. Holly molly. This is really made my day. Hope u stay healthy! I love you 💞
i love how this video has both a wild chaotic energy and a really calm vibe
this is my first video of you that im watching and ive already learned so much and i love your personality already, thank you so much for this!
much love rowena
your videos are seriously useful and very informative. I seriously love the message and the quotes. love u rowenaaaa
I can’t believe how much I learnt and felt from this video. You are amazing
Absolutely a breath of fresh air snd a light amongst the darkness you are; so thankful for you, you make me laugh, smile and feel hopeful. You are so wise and so helpful in all ways I shared your video on energy vs time with my teenage son he will watch it he said I share these kind of videos with him here and there I too am an introvert with ADHD so constantly getting up moving around was almost impossible to live in the moment and slow down once I started meditating and doing my version of yoga stretching and breathing for my body it got easier absolutely so thankful for you much love and appreciation 😊
Honestly thank you for this video. I'm in the Army full time and I've also launched my first business and I'm only 19! I've been so stressed trying to balance everything with still going to work full time and having every other day off to dedicate to my online business which takes up most of my day. And today I was really upset that I chose to sleep for 6 hours in the middle of the day instead of working on my business which causes me to stay up super late knowing I have to work the next day. But you reminded me how important it is to make time for myself so I don't get overwhelmed and also have time to get things done! Something was urging me to take at least 10 mins to watch one of your videos (which calms me everytime I do) and so happens this one pops up. Thank You so much Rowena!
You’re videos keep me sane during the quarantine! Exactly what I need
I think you know that I am studying right now 🥺 this came on the night time 😊💕 thank you 🙏🏻 lots of love to you and your beautiful videos 😍.
this is exactly what i've needed. we're all in this together!
Rowena you are awesome! I’ve always dreamed of working from home and now I get to. It hasn’t looked the way I thought it would but nothing is normal so it’s ok. I like being home and as an introverted homebody I have no problem with someone asking me to stay home. It’s the goal for me actually. It just surprises me that I’m not “doing it better.” Anyway, your video encouraged me and made me smile. Take care sweet lady!🥰
unfortunately i still have to go to work but hopefully i can get approved for the new work-at-home program but this was still amazing for me since i'm an online college student. after watching this my husband and I moved our bed into the living room and turned our bedroom into the cat room/my new office/study space. He plays video games a lot so it's nice to have a place where i dont get distracted by the constant lights and movement from the tv and i can just sit by the window and focus. having my own space for specific activities is amazing. I agree with some of the other comments, you should definitely make a podcast!
This was helpful and I love the way you speak. I've been trying to get myself back into my study routine and now I can add these tips, thank you!
rowena's energy is just sooo pure
These videos literally fill me up in ways I can never put into words! ❤️✨
This video came to me when I needed it the most. Thank you Rowena, thank you so much.
I LOVE YOU. THANK U. I KNEW THE UNIVERSE WOULD BE SENDING EXACLTY WHAT I NEEDED AND IT DID, THIS VIDEO POPPED UP. THANK U!!!!!
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. They're so easy to watch and your personality is refreshing.
Thank you so much for inspiring me to keep creating videos, your beaut personality and calming editing are my inspo always 🌼🥰
you made my day with this video! hope you had a lot of joy creating those video scenes 😅❤ thank u sweetest potato, have a nice day!
I really like your videos, your voice is so calming. I always feel motivated to improve my quality of life after watching your video. hope you upload longer videos so that i can clean my room while hearing your voice. take care, stay safe.
Rowena, this is the content I absolutely ADORE! Thank you for such original content, and for your beautiful ediiting work. A fan from Canada :)
This is awesome! I shared with my students and my FB family. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and understanding.
yay a new rowena upload to keep us sane!!~
Thank you for this video!! I'm going through a rough depressive patch and needed some motivation to finish this semester and not be so much of a couch potato. Looking forward to planning and getting my life in order tomorrow morning AFTER a good night sleep
Can't stress how much I love your videos. You're real, authentic and cute! Thank you so much for your contents!
Hi beauty, I’m actually self isolated with my thoughts and addictions, and, tbh, your video cheered me up because I figured out I’m doing great. I do sport, and yoga, and meditation, and I drink water and all, and for the first time since this quarantine thing has started, I feel like a can control myself, and maybe one day get over it completely :) love ❤️
I didn't want to watch this video because I thought it was the average video about being productive while in quarantine... And after two months of being stuck at home I'm so sick of those kinds of videos because they just make me feel bad about myself: I'm at the point where I'm pretty much losing hope, I can't really be as productive as I would like to be, I just can't. .. But after hearing the first thing you said about feelings I couldn't be more wrong! Thank you♥️
Rowena with another masterpiece! Always looking forward to your weekly videos especially as of late 😌 it’s helped me tremendously throughout this quarantine/social distancing. Thank you! #potatofam 🥔
how is it possible for one video to lift me up like no one can :O ily Rowena
Really needed this right now. Thank you Ro 🥰💖
The schedule audit really spoke to me. I feel like I have only been able to get 2 things done every day with family stuff in the way !! I will start auditing my schedule tomorrow
Love you Rowena! Thanks for making this. It's been hard to balance personal and work life. Thanks for always bringing me back to my center. Stay safe and wish you good health!
