✨ Plan your most intentional & successful year with the 2024 Artist of Life Workbook, a powerful guided journal for achieving your dream life → lavendaire.com/workbook
Yes I love that you called it “healthy” productivity. Because as we all know, in our western world it’s easy to fall into the trap of “hustle culture” and sacrifice our health and happiness for small gains.
@@arukisubiki Western is because we're west on the globe. We're from the United States so everything tends to be a rush situation and it's taken unhealthy extremes.
Tips for healthy productivity 1. Find your why(dig deep). (why do i want to be productive : journal on this questio.) 2. define what productivity os for u and track it. 3. Focus down as much as u can. (breakdown task into baby bite size task) 4. Reduce the time btw knowing and doing. 5. Batching (similar tasks at same tym) 6. Time yourself(how long do you take to do any task) 7. Use the 80/20 rule (or parito's principle):(80% of the consequences comes from the 20% of the causes)so the learning is to check part of ur work yield the 80% /the major impact . 8. Set mini deadlines. 9. Be your own cheer leader. 10. Schedule in time for planning and rest.
Why I want to be productive: Because I want to balance all the works that I am doing and do more work for my dream life with full of happiness. And, to be a successful person in this world. So, I think Aileen makes me to think about it and now I am ready to be more productive with your helpful tips. Thank you so much Aileen..
1. Find your why 2. Define what productivity is for you and then track it 3.focus down as much as you can (break it down in smaller parts and focus on the smallest simplest step first) 4. Reduce time between knowing you have to do something and actually doing it. Take a baby step right away. The longer you procrastinate the bigger the mental while, so do it while it's small. 5. Batching - do the same kind of tasks all together at once to avoid context switching. 6. Time yourself - see how long it takes you to actually do things so you can plan better in the future and avoid unserbudgetting time and causing stress and trade offs. 7. Use the 80/20 rule. Figure out what your 20% of your efforts are high results and see how you can emphasize those things and minimize (or outsource) things that are not impactful. 8. Set mini deadlines - big deadline will feel abstract because it's far away. As much time as you give yourself for a project is how long it will take. 9. Be your own cheerleader 10. Schedule time for planning and rest If like me, at the end you went, "hmm yeah, which one of these did I like best?" But you didn't remember... here's the refresher. Now that I've written it all out.... I liked: Focus down, Reduce time between knowing and doing, batching, and especially setting mini deadlines. Also scheduling time to plan. I do most of this now but can improve! Another one I just heard on a other channel is track the things you want to prove in because what you track will likely improve and what you don't will likely get worse!
Idky but being productive makes me so happy. When ever im not productive i get deep in my emotions and become depressed. I feel like productivity cures those feelings for me.
I like to be productive too and I think that is one of the main points - is that we understand why we do things -that way when things get overwhelming we can pick it up quickly anbd adjust
Aileen, ever since I found your channel my life has changed dramatically. I am intentional, productive and am painting my own life. It may not be a masterpiece but it will be really good and I’m having fun making it. Thank you so much!
@@minfires7572 I'd say start slow and small. Author Osho once said that there are no big things; small things accumulated make big things. Don't jump in with bug goals ; instead set smaller goals that will cumulatively make a difference. That way it would also be easier to adjust to the change than if u make big changes at once bc that will be unfamiliar and uncomfortable and you'd just want to go back to your comfort zone
I watch Lavendaire to find some motivation and to find a reason to keep on going. Lavendaire also one of the reason I started to love myself again. Since I watch Lavendaire, I learn to love myself, learn to never give up and to keep on going. Aileen, you're one of the women that I admire. You're my idol.✨
Reducing time between knowing and doing was really a lightbulb moment for me. I need to keep that in mind more often. Thanks for your most wonderful tip!
How did this video shift your perspective on productivity? Reminder that what's most "productive" is living a high quality, fulfilling life. And that's not always about getting the *most* things done, but the getting the *right* things done. :)
16:23 that is actually so interesting, I'm definitely going to apply that right now (setting up deadlines to myself) because I think that's what is happening with what I have to do! That's definitely my favourite tip of the video, I've never understood the concept before but somehow what you said clicked and made so much sense with what I'm doing wrong. Tyvm! ✨
I always watch Lavendaire videos when I'm feeling low or when I need motivation ... Your videos makes my day bright ! Thank you Aileen for everything ! Love you 💜
reducing time between knowing and doing is definitely the one I need to work on the most!! I procrastinate the tasks that generate anxiety so much and it turns out to grow so much harder to actually do it the more time passes..
Hey Aileen! I usually take some time on Sunday to answer a few emails, do my todo list for the week, and calendar block my week. I love this system, although I tend to overestimate how much I can do and be a bit overwhelmed as a result.
Yes!!! Balance is everything. What’s the point of spreading yourself thin if at the end you have no energy to enjoy your productivity nor have peace of mind. 💆♀️💆 From a self love content creator to another; beautiful video Aileen! 💗
I started practicing "just doing" things the moment I get the idea or urge. It was difficult at first but a few months in it has become a second nature. And it actually goes hand in hand with my ADHD haha I don't always finish that moment or day but small steps help me make progress and lessens my anxiety.
Hello! THIS WAS FANTASTIC! Aileen. I loved the way you laid the 10 tips out. So, clear and user-friendly. I plan on sharing this vlog for sure with a few girl friends. Although I am a retired person, who is redefining my journey, these 10 tips are just what I needed to see and hear. I am a planner by nature but often, as you said, I over planned, didn't break things down into smaller, easier tasks, expected things to happen 'now' and be perfect, etc. I am 65 and I can tell you that doesn't work. So, I am glad to see younger generations figuring this out now before you get where I am and trying to learn how to simplify, declutter and enjoy my journey without regret, etc. I usually plan on Sundays - a left over from my working days. My favorite of the 10 tips is...well, I have two: 1). reduce the time between knowing and doing. So important. I have UFP's (unfinished projects) still hanging over my head because I had deadlines with big tasks and the time to get started kept getting pushed away. So, tip #4 is very important key to success. And, 2). # 9 - Be your own cheerleader. The negative self talk is so ingrained. I am learning slow but sure to reframe my thinking when I feel that negative talk coming on. Anyway, I have said enough. Thank you Aileen. You are amazing and I am so grateful that you are helping so many of us. Cheers.
I plan my planning! I give art workshops to children and youngsters and at monday morning I always take time to plan out the workshops I'm going to give for the full week. After that I immediately go to the store to fetch the items I need. That makes life so much easier as the rest of the week always goes way more smoothly.
Great tips on productivity hacks - focus, narrow, break it down - I love a to-do list and when it feels like I can accomplish it - it gets done! The easiest smallest next step is the same principle that I use when I need to have a hard conversation with someone - I can't just think I will have the conversation, I need to consider what my intention is, what my goal is, what I want to see happen, and then consider how I will achieve it - so many layers, but layers built upon each other make a solid foundation!
Hello ! I just found your channel and I'm currently listening to your videos while I work ( i work remotely) and it's really helpful ! All of the advice you gave just inspired me and makes me understands how to actually have a productivity life instead of working myself to burnout ahahha thank you ! Love your contents !
You have the gift of explaining things in a calm, mature and down-to-earth manner. I really appreciate this habit that you have because it's so non-judgmental and easy to follow. Your ideas about balance are really helpful and when I watch your videos I feel like my cluttered mind gets sorted out by you. Thank you and keep up the good work. Know that you are making a change and helping people and hopefully that is something that you find light in.
My planning day is Saturday! The day i feel most motivated, so it's easy to plan for my week and have a clear mind while doing so. I first realized this after seeing something online about the different week days and how our cycle works, Saturday is ruled by Saturn, so it's best to plan and prepare on this day!
I like your point about taking time to plan. It's also important to leave "white space" on the calendar- time to handle unexpected things that crop up. Great video.
Ive been sitting from ever waiting for your september planning and another amaizing video just pops up.. lately i was feeling down and trying to get my life together and i know its ok to be unproductive some days but the amount of works that waiting for me make me feel worse.. anyway love u sooo much and i wish to be a perfect lavindair girl some day❤❤❤❤❤
This made me realize that my kind of productivity, to get as much done as possible, is not healthy 😨 I study more than spending time for myself and I really really do burn out a lot
The tips in this video were so unique! I love your mindset on how productivity is not just work, its rest and play too. One thing I use to be productive as someone with ADHD is making things I don't really want to do enjoyable. ADHD brains can't say "no" to dopamine so I make sure I get myself a nice drink, listen to ASMR while working, and think positive thoughts to myself during and after tasks. I recommend creating a work environment that you look forward to!
Hello, I also had a burn out a few months ago and I am still trying to get back on my feet. The hardest part however is to work on myself. I loved to be incredibly busy and filling up all my free time with stuff I could get done. It made me feel superior, successful, good, productive. So unhealthy. I still need to figure out where this is coming from but I am on a good way to a healthy mindset. Thank you so much for this video and for the calming background music. It really helps to slow down everything. Thumbs up from me and greetings from Austria
I love this! I bought into hustle culture and pushed through college burnt out. When I graduated in May 2020, I spent about a year just working, reading and reflecting. Eventually, I did grow bored of being idle and began slowly integrating more goals back into my life but with more intention. I feel more productive- which I define as doing actions that contribute to my life goals-- after experiencing what it's like to have less to do.
These tips are so helpful! Especially batching. As a Mindset Coach, I’ve been finding myself doing a lot of different tasks all in one day even though I schedule it out but still you’re so right! The time spent changing from one task to another completely different one often time feels like a “break” to me so I spend time scrolling on social media or something along those lines
Thank you for this! At the perfect timing when we're planning for the next month, too! Tips 1, 2, & 10 were what I needed the most (tho 10 wasn't new). Tip 2 was refreshing: for me, it's a combination of *a)* actual physical progression and *b)* inner peace (knowing I'm in alignment with my life purpose, doing what is meant for me).. My answer to 1: because I want to help bring justice to this world - and in order to accomplish things to better our world or even oneself, we need to physically get things done (get certifications, go to court, etc)! For my people, my community, my country, humanity, living beings & our earth that houses us..
I cant believe how you just read my mind and post the most relevant video at the perfect time 🥺 Thank youu soo much for helping me to find the "better me" whenever i feel lost❤🥺
The way you talk about productivity and getting things done is very inspiring. Every single time I watch your video, I get a feeling like: Okey, let's do something productive! It actually makes me happy and motivated to be productive because it can be fun! Your videos really make my energy rise when thinking about being more active and trying new things - thanks!

Thank you Aileen for this tips, I am already writting them down and observing my life. This was just the message I needed this week. Also practicing my English, your accent is super nice. Send you love from Argentina.
Batching.I never heard the term somehow.But with your explaination I really need this.I take way too much time and do waayy too much procrastination switching from one type of task to another.So thanks for that.And love you always.💕
Thank you soooo much! It came at such a right time. I had been exhausted with my productivity actually. I just do do do and do. I didn't dare to stop because I was afraid that that fire of passion would die down on me, or my family and friends would blame me for not working hard enough. Love you so much. Be healthy, be loved and be safe
Really, thank you always. I would like to do a planner for my days, but I always postpone the planner and I don't know what to do, but after this video I knew what I would do and what I would accomplish and plan and I knew the correct productivity so I am grateful to you
Finally! An angel who talks about HEALTHY productivity. We need MORE of this and LESS unrealistic studygrammers who supposedly study 15 hours a day and have a "perfect" life on social media. A great call for mental health. I love this channel!
i generally never comment on videos, but this one I had to. i used to love the spark and positivity you had, it literally showed through your face, you were always radiant and glowing, in between when you were going through stuff ig, that wasn't there and I couldn't relate to your content. you regularly put out videos of you working on yourself and I must say it's showing. I'm so glad that you're as happy, and positive and glowing as you were before. your happiness is showing through your face and you look so bloody beautiful! you look a lot fitter and healthier too! welcome back Aileen, missed you
I was so shocked knowing that Taking Rest can also be a productive work to do😃.. Thank you Mam for sharing this video.. Always Grateful😇!! My Productivity Tip is, Whenever I do my work like completing my notes I switch to "Do Not Disturb" mode in my phone because I get distracted too easily!! Also, I try to reward myself whenever I complete a big/ important task like making projects & assignments!! Hope you like it😊.. Love You Mam♥️✨!!
My problem is I do so much planning but don’t take action, It’s the perfectionism that gets in my way. I think is time to change that 😂 Thank you Aileen 💕
I follow this rule of thumb: execution first, then strategy. It's basically, do what you need to do, however badly, then work on planning to make it more efficient. Motivation actually boosts after taking action, not before. Hope this helps!
I always plan in beginning of the month wid uh nd my favourite was 'Batching'.I can say I was doing something wrong till now. I used to do one type of activity by taking rests in between and use to think it's good for my mental health which is actually not. So, I am gonna imply Batching in my life. Thankyou Aileen 💙
I have been procrastinating all my life, i feel very sad and disappointed with my myself for all the time a have wasted. What all i could have done with all that time. Indeed the time which is gone will never come back. I want to productive because i want to be a better version of myself, be happy, healthy, and be positive minded, also that will help me build better relationships and friends. If i do, it will be life changing!
I've always been tortured myself by wrong concept about productivity. All those tips help me in effective way. I can't even describe how much I thank to you for showing me what productivity really means. Love you.🥺💛
I don't usually make time to plan, but I scurry away moments to write down things I want to do when I'm on my short breaks at my day job. Then when I get home, I basically empty my pockets and bags and write down a better, "master list" from the past day or few days built up desire or errands needing attention. I usually do this before bed because I can't sleep anyway, so it's a basically good brain dump from my past self that workweek, which doesn't require a lot of physical energy. Then when I have my day off coming, I will look at the master list, and usually the day before write a more detailed plan for the tasks/vague plans so I will be less scared to act on it.
Thank you for this 🙏 As someone who tends to overwork and always feels guilty being “unproductive”, I will try to keep these tips in mind going back to school xx😘📚
OMG I love the last part! I have always wondered why I don't start something, even though I have listed out what to do and how to do it. Now I realize that I used the time I saved for doing for planning instead. And after I do the planning part, I need to find extra time to do the doing part!
Yay this was so helpful! I do a weekly reset with planning each Sunday where I have a routine I follow with journaling and grabbing my AOL workbook :) Ny fave tip would def be the one about reducing time between doing and knowing. Going to get some things done right now!
Most of the tips I already use them when I plan, but I KNOW for sure that I'm a disaster at number 4 "Reduce time between knowing and doing"! Thank you for these tips, I think I'm gonna reflect on how I can become a more productive person!
Watching this a few hours before my first class in my PhD program! These are really helpful tips, and hopefully I'll be able to carry some of these with me throughout this semester! :)
These are really good tips, thank you Lavendaire! Yes, I do planning. Like you, I’ve also underestimated the time it takes to get things done or prepare to get somewhere. I appreciate your self-love talk, Need to do more loving self cheering talk. Recently discovered need to allow for time to do/be in balance instead of never ending To Do Lists. Now understand why I procrastinated.
Thank you lavendaire, this video helps people wanting to have balance productive life like me. I usually only scheduling every Saturday only for school works without free time so i got burn out.
This video needs to reach out to all those people who are suffering from procrastination and low enthusiasm. Since I've got my board exam 79 days from now, I feel recharged and motivated. This is the first video I've seen from your channel and ABSOLUTELY loved it! Thank you so much
I would like to say thank you, I have naver thought of planning to rest you have made me realise thats why i can't go on with what I planed my favorite part is to set mini deadlines
Literally use to and still work my self till I satisfied not only myself but my teams needs and worked myself to something past burnout! This is so helpful
I badly needed this !! I am a working student as well as a part of student organizations so I'm worried that I'll burn out from all the work I need to do. Tips like these will help me a lot. Thank you for this!
I watched this video while taking notes. tysm for sharing your experiences with us very generously. Ever since I subscribed to you my life has seriously improved a lot and I'm thankful for that. I can also see how happier and calmer you are I'm really happy that you are doing well again after your burnout.
This will help much more in my school year, I typically let school consume my life for 9 months out of the year and even during the summer I study in advance. Thank you for helping me understand a balance between work play and rest. 💓
i want to express to you how helpful this video was. i have been struggling in college to maintain a balance between school and the rest of my life due to my adhd. i really appreciate how you approached this subject and explained it in a way that made sense and related to one's mindset (which ironically is something i am working on). i actually took notes on this video, and i'm going to print them out and tape them to my wall above my desk
I keep a separate notepad to list the things i need to get done with a specific week, like some errands or tasks, and date the timespan in which it is required to be fulfilled. You tips are pretty amazing. This is the first video i have seen of yours and i loved it! Hope to learn more from your tips. And i love the last tip to "schedule time for planning and rest" which i had suddenly stopped doing when i switched to homeschooling in junior & senior year of HS, so thanks foe reminding me about it. Lots of love 😊🖤🥀⛓

This is what I really need. I tend to have toxic productivity most of the time.
Thanks to remind me set mini-deadlines, I think that is my worst problem cause I dont pu a limit of time and the work never end." Healthy productivity"
The last tip was so helpful. I have a very artsy bullet journal and often write to do lists I never complete. I alway thought it was because I spent too much time in my journal instead of doing the things bc that’s what they alway say in those minimal bujo videos. But now I know I have to spend some more time thinking, staring at my beautiful book :D
This is what I strived to practice. I'm not a fan of hustle burn out culture. I plan every Sunday afternoon when my baby is sleeping. Hahaha.. I also do some reflections through journalling. :)
The best tipp for me is the babystep-tipp... I have the trouble to stress myself out if I see it is much to do and then I really fall into being not productive and often all other tasks distract me so this tipp is very helpfull as well as the batching tipp, your videos always give so much motivation!
Sunday evenings is usually my planning time. It's like the last step in the reset and resting process of the weekend for me and at that time I am usually in a good head space for planning the next week. Not any big planning, but more like looking things over, transfering things that didn't get done to next weeks to do list and mentally prepare for what is to come.
I am just a 14 years girl. I always watch your videos Aileen. My life will be very productive and happy with your meaningful advices. Thank you so much Aileen. Also, my mind, body and all things start with your peaceful guided meditations and productivity tips. Have a nice day Aileen..😍💖💖
