- No one will ever know you better than you know yourself. 🌻✨ We dove deep into the land of energy management last week and how it's leaps and bounds more effective than managing your time. Today, we're going to continue breaking down the four dimensions (or buckets) of energy and talk about how you can create the best and most productive lifestyle habits for YOU based on your energy levels.
Highly recommend watching the first video on how to energy audit if you haven't already: • the one productivity s...

Can we take a moment to appreciate her editing and humor!
🙈💕 thanks Tanishi!!
Ikr
Tanishi Ranjan IKRRR IT IS ELITE
@@rowena you really changed my life~♡
We can!
Who else is OBSESSED with Rowena’s amazing content? 💕
Meeee♡
Me too 🙌❤
Yes always
Meee
Me too
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how much time she had to spent creating this video 🤯 she could write a whole book about what she said 👏👏👏
One thing that I learned during 05 years searching about on how to be productive, happy and develop personal fulfilment, is that the more we occupy ourselves worrying about the rules that tell us "how to or how not do to something or live", the more we will feel unhappy and anxious.
The most effective change that I've made in my life was to stop worrying about a productive lifestyle and starting doing my best every moment, even if my best is being a couch potato for a day. After this, I noticed that I started paying more attention to the present and enjoying myself at where I am at the moment.
Sometimes I feel that stuffs like "my 4am morning routine" it's just an act of theater that we play for ourselves to try to escape from the reality of being imperfect, imprevisible and human being.
After all, we like to pretend that we are in control of our lives. It is important to do our best, but it can put ourselves in madness if it is on high levels.
Well, I should finally say that Rowena is a pretty comedian and I love her videos. 💕✨
That is so wise, I agree 100%!
Perfect said! Agree with u :)
PREACH 🙏🐱
I totally agree! And the 4am, 5am thing is completely bonkers when the majority of the population is *genetically programmed by their own DNA* to wake up around 7, 8am (it's called your chronotype). We all have to delight in our uniqueness and figure out what works for ME, not about what that influencer says.
Wow, I’m simply amazed by your character and your intelligence. I’ve never taken notes whilst watching a youtube videos, but every single sentence out of your mouth is worth writing down. You inspire people to become THEIR best. Thank you for that
All Rowena's units have been sold. We'll let you know when we have this product in stock again.
Stay tuned!
@Vikki Enos I hope you're playing along because I have no idea haha
It's hard for me to fathom that some people genuinely feel energized sometimes. My life is just one big dip, no peaks, no energy.
Meditation has REALLY helped me with this. I’ve watched/read countless interviews of people who are very productive and a good amount of them mention meditation as giving them energy, focused and calm mood.
It also made me more focused and able to complete baby steps that definitely were affecting my energy like: getting physical check up & psych check up, getting my vitamin d levels checked, hydrating, consistently going to bed early, having healthy breakfast, exercise, hygiene, doing pomodoro sessions etc etc.
Keeping a consistent sleep schedule seemed to be the biggest thing that made everything else seemingly easy. But for me, meditation me helped get on a sleep schedule as it energized me in the morning, focused me during the day, and calmed me at night. It kinda reminds me of the fast food analogy where fast food can be easy and make us feel full/satisfied but healthy food is the one that would actually keep us energized and satisfied. Waiting to get into an energetic mindstate via caffeine or other means besides healthy sleep/food/exercise/meditation really doesn’t work. At least for the long run.
I get it... For me it's depression. Therapy and self awareness is essential. Ro gives a good tip on paying attention to the little things you do that make you feel good and for how long in her last video
I’ve always told myself I “NEED” to do this. What I hadn’t considered was the fact that by “forcing” myself to do something I actually became less productive. 🤔
‘Unpotato’ 😂 almost made me spit out my breakfast! 😅 I swear this was the best start of my day! 💕
Really loved the Self- triangle thing. Even if it came out of her brain with no scientific study backing it, it resonated with me the most.
“How done with yourself are you?” Yes
Dropping a comment to say thank you for this series Rowena, it really comes at the perfect time for me. I'm currently on a medical leave for various reasons, including having burnt myself out and being so stressed out 24/7 that it really negatively effected my physical and mental health. I hope in the next video you'll show some of the apps and software that we see in this video that you like to use!
How to be a proud productive potato!
I swear I've gotten so much more productive since I started watching your videos🙌
I love the idea of tapping into different energies and turning practices into habits. However, I'm struggling with keeping a positive mindset through the entire process. Do you have any suggestions? Love all your content btw!
Listen to positive affirmations before and always write your goals and affirmations in your journal before starting your day! It has helped me a lot 😊
For me it's just to keep going, no matter how shitty you feel. I've been trying to accept that I don't need to be feeling good in order to function. In other words, trust the process and reassure yourself at the end of everyday that *you're doing great* even if deep down you don't believe it. It's ok not to be ok through it all.
I would recommend that you treat your self the way you would treat the person that you love the most. With tenderness and kindness. Habits stick easier when you don't judge the process.
Don't compare yourself to someone else or even to your past self. It leads to overthinking and anxiety.
Don't judge yourself when you feel like you mess up. Just lovingly process it and kindly nudge yourself in the right direction.
You owe it to yourself to care about your growth.
And lastly there is no need to be rush it or feel like you have to create a super rigid comprehensive system. There is no deadline.
You run on a different frequency from everyone else.
I hope this helps❣️☺️
This video was Chef'S KISS.
Can you make a video about *HOW TO OBSERVE YOURSELF AND KNOW YOURSELF BETTER.*
11:00 don't doubt yourself, Roweni. The moment you mentioned the triangle getting larger, I immediately thought of someone spread themselves thin and using more energy trying to be different people and going back and forth; so the moment you said exactly what I was thinking I got excited for the confirmation lol
I’m amazed at how fast i jumped on this 💕💕
When my life is chaotic, I come back to youuuuu. Thank you so much for what you're doing, help me a lot
she deserves more recognition
As always, thank you ro ro for making our day extra special. Keep sparkling joy in our hearts 😊❤
LOVEYOU ROWENAAAAA❤️❤️❤️
Love how you add graphs and informative quotes to help guide us through the video ♡
My productivity hack: Implement what you learned in productivity videos before watching more... ;) Thank you for your entertaining videos... productivity makes fun your way =)
you have always posted videos at the exact moment I need to see them and for that, I thank you
I love how Rowena is so adorable and really teaches you to do the things instead of telling you to do stuff. It's really enjoyable to watch! But after a whole lot of awareness phase (thanks quarantine) I realized that I can successfuly get motivated and build a routine that works only for it to be ruined by... people. I mean, not actually people, but the way they make me react to them. Take my academic advisor for instance. I'm writing my thesis and she drives me insane. She's not really a bad person, but she's quite unpredictable, judgemental and overbearing. Dealing with her drains all my energy away, causing me to get really anxious and unmotivated. I love what I do, but sometimes people just ruin it for me and I don't know what to do to deal with it when just burning bridges is not an alternative. Talking about the issue with her not only didn't work but made it worse. Could something in my routine help me in dealing with how I react to people?
thank you so much for your words Luisa 🙏🏻💕 as for how we react to people and external situations, I believe it still all stems from the internal. as cliche as it sounds, perhaps try journaling or meditating on your situation (and in general) so that you can cultivate a calm mind and compassionate heart no matter what situation you’re in. this will allow you to have a buffer and moment to pause, take a step back, and reflect before reacting any type of way in more stressful or trying circumstances as the only person we can truly control is ourselves. I’m paraphrasing teachings from my spiritual practice, Falun Dafa-hope it was helpful 😌
Your humor is everything:) and what a content. Inspiring is an understatement here. As usual, you managed to bring so much positivity and provide just the right information. Not to mention the awesome editing:)

The way rowenas changing my life one video at a time
Your video always comes at the perfect moment
Her hairstyle is so pretty🥺
I love your spiritual triangle illustration! It reminds me of the thought "integrity is being the same in all places"
Ahh that triangle thing is so real. I’ve been slowly bringing those parts of me together these last few years. It’s a never ending process but feels so good/right when that triangle is small
can u give some tips on how to do that? bc for me it’s hard and idk where to start :o
Your videos are always so enjoyable and useful ❤️
For the past month I have been watching your videos and omg I’m obsessed. For some reason you grabbed my attention ❤️ I am a pre-license therapist and some points you mention resonated with me. Also thanks for sharing your story :)
Ughh you are goals!! Seriously...your videos have contributed so much to my personal growth and it’s beautiful watching you progress in your videos. It’s so helpful seeing your journey of being less of a potato!! Thank you for another amazing and helpful video! I began incorporating small better habits and I feel better about myself. 💕
This is the fastest i've been and even though I haven't watched the video i can still confirm it's going to be AMAZING ✨
Always is!!
What a wonderful couple of videos you have given us! I loved the concrete suggestions you gave us too, and if it sounds fun to you, I would love a massive list of ideas of things that could help boost energy for each of the categories. Some things are obvious but others might be less so, I'd love that kind of inspiration! Or maybe a video where you talk about specific things you've tried that have worked/not worked for you. I'm any case, thank you for the awesome content!
Yey! New vid! ❤
Rowena please do a video for students about college actually everything we need to know, learn how to learn smth, it would be so helpful
Thank thank uuu sooo much Rowena!! Really enjoy your videos!! They always make me feel a bit better and open minded for changes, for better days, to gradually improve myself, to take things slowly and I just really appreciate your hard work to make all these amazing videos!!
