      @@Flwerrr_lunarosetta stone is expensive but helped me a lot when first starting out. Pimsleur is another app for when you're further advanced, it helps with pronunciation and conversation. Lingvist is a vocab app that helps you learn new vocab. Don't use google translate, it's rarely correct-- I use deepL (if I remember the name right) and reverso context. For online resources, I would say look up the 200 most common nouns, verbs, adjectives, make a quizlet, study them until you know them thoroughly and continue memorizing other vocab. Learn to conjugate verbs. Learn everything to do with gender and grammar rules as soon as possible because it gets complicated. Memorize pronouns in different tenses. Practice your accent by watching native german youtubers speak it and try to replicate it. Also looking up german news websites and reading the articles outloud to yourself is so helpful. Read books, start with children books, underline all the words you don't know and learn them. Watch german movies and put your native language as the subtitles. Learn common idioms. Hope this helped! I know I didn't give specific channels but just one search brings up a lot of reliable sources. German is def a language you can self-teach through online resources because it's so easy to find content.

But tomorrow, I’ll try to incorporate one of these many fun activities into my daily life. And maybe my life won’t be so boring and uneventful! If anyone sees this, please remind me to keep on going for a better future ahead! ❤️✌️

    Thanks! Your video made me forget for some moments my oppressive thoughts, and with your positive ideas I feel way more confortable to deal with things for now and calm down.

    Thank you. Today, I had my final exam and if I have to be honest, I was postponing everything that I wanted to do after the exam. Now, it is that time. I can finally do those things, but I didn't know where to start. I was pretty overwhelmed and started to think about if I was going to waste my whole summer time with mindless scrolling. I really don't want to do that because I feel horrible at the end of the day, yet I do nothing to change that either. I feel I have to be perfect, that's why I do basically nothing.
    But this video, helped me a lot. Now, I know that it's all about living. Actually living. Doesn't matter if the thing that you are doing is perfect or not. Doesn't matter if people around you are going to love it or not. Just enjoying it while you can.

    From jan 2023..
    - I started decluttering one part of my house or room when I'm free.
    - I listen to slow music or podcast or may be a minimalism vdo on youtube and do the organizing and decluttering as it doesn't make me bored of the work I'm doing.
    - I'm loving to journal at night and morning.
    - I always keep my cupboards clean and organized.
    - when I use my phone I quickly come back to declutter my phone [ emails, old messages, images, cache files, stuff I don't need on my phone] this helps my phone to work well.
    - I clean my fridge twice a week. And by listening to a podcast.
    - I make digital illustration when I'm free but not frequently
    - I dance when I feel like doing nothing and it helps me so much to cheer up my mood.
    Since then I only check youtube play something and make my self busy.
    And I love how this vdo is made. Atleast people can have a realization how much of talent and time we are wasting on internet just by scrolling.

    - Look through your bookmarks/reading list
    - Delete safari/google tabs (I used to not be able to open a new one cause I had 500 others)
    - Organise your google drive
    - Watch videos in your “watch later” playlist
    - Digitise some papers you don’t want anymore
    PHYSICAL:
    - Organise and get rid of stuff in your desk, cupboards, bed side table, bookshelf, etc.
    - Clean your room (desk, under bed, light switch)
    - Go through your wardrobe
    - Go through old pens and chuck ones that don’t work
    - Empty and clean your bags
    Most people have something they haven’t done on this list, so go do it!

    Try never getting bored of your room. I find decorating it a new way every week or so helps a lot with my creativity and motivation. Print out pictures of any kind (I have a bunch of memes on my wall) and put them up! Get some fairy light and put them where ever you like! And you might as well clean your room while you're at it, maybe even renovate a little!
    Do this with any room in your house, so next time you bring over a guest you'll have a bunch of things to show them.
    Side note: if you have trouble with motivation try using the "I might as well" method when cleaning and decorating. You start by maybe cleaning out your desk or making your bed, you might as well vacuum your floor, and then you might as well wash some clothes, and while you wait for your clothes you can do the dishes and vacuum the kitchen, and so on. It works great for me. Try beginning with a shower and ending with a cooked meal of any sort.

    This is maybe the best and most helpful youtube-video I've seen. I already watched many "life-changing" or mentality based videos that really inspired me but this one is definitly the most practical. The other videos often don't represent my day-to-day life since I haven't started working and still live at my partents' but this one give many perfectly fitting tiny things to implement in your life... for everyone, I guess. My favorite things out of the 101 probably are the creative ones like the diary or the paintings for my own room. And I'm starting to really enjoy the thoughtful comment aswell ;)
    So even though I'm a year late: Thank you.

    Very nice list! Lately I've noticed that I've started to fell into the habit of endless scrolling (and I don't even have any other platforms than CZcams!), and it's starting to get quite annoying. So I found your list of things to just in time, will definitely give some of these a try!
    One thing I can add, would be to build a Lego set. It can be very distracting and fun, too! And if you want to add a slight twist to it, put on a movie or episode on your favorite TV-series and see if you can finish building before the movie or episode ends. Or just simply enjoy listening/watching something you like while doing something with your hands. Another great combo of this would be quilting, for example, and watching something, I suppose.

    Someone who finally knows what their doing.
    When you scroll, you skip all these opportunities to try something new like making a hat or make special snack for you. I feel like you just skip a bunch of amazing chances you could have done to keep you off your phone or iPad.

    another idea: learn how to code! it can be daunting at first but start with HTML and css. those are used for website design and the languages get quirky sometimes, but it's nothing that google can't help you with. and you'll know how to make a really pretty website once you learn enough!
