how to *ACTUALLY* stay productive (and motivated!) | 10 tips to build healthy habits & stay focused 

happy weekend everyone! I've been a bit MIA because life's been busy lately but thank you for being here & if you have any productivity tips, please share it below! ❤

It’s funny… I’ve heard all of these tips before. I’ve even read some of them directly. I might even have implemented a few of them, but the way you presented these as a group and with your specific examples and experience was so helpful! So happy that you’ve been able to discover all of this and thank you, thank you thank you for sharing it.

i really hate thay bedrotting is becoming an Internet term, its really not what people online make it seem to be. I have a depressive disorder, and when I have episodes I bedrot pretty hard and its not just me not wanting to get out of bed... in my last episode i watched damn near every single episode of brooklyn 99 and rick and morty in a week. I didn't take a shower, or brush my teeth or hair then entire time, i physically could not bring myself to get out of bed longer than just heating up food in microwave, and even then, i only really ate once day. I literally felt like Gregor from the metamorphosis, its not the same as just laying in bed cus i dont have the energy to do my assignments. The Internet normalizing the missuse of the term bedrotting is similar to me as the Internet normalizing the term Intrusive thought being used interchangeably with the term Impulsive thought. I wish online culture qould move away from this, and start actually acknowledging the things about mental illness that can't be romanticized without trying to take away from the gross or disturbing parts from them.

loved this in bite sized bits! also just want to add that there are actually no “bad” foods. as someone who’s really struggled with disordered eating and seeing foods as “bad”, i think a healhier term is “less nutritionally dense”! :) just food for thought hehe 😊

woah that’s actually so nice and thoughtful of google to put the healthy foods at eye level/up top and even going as far as frosting the bottom half of the door im shocked

The guest lecturer piece was a very valuable part of this video. Thank you for bringing in his insights on this subject.

Loved this, especially your explanation on the good-busy versus bad-busy! The guest lecturer was purr-ticularly inspiring~

drinking my morning coffee while watching this. happy weekend Sarah!

I love this!! I’ve been slumped for weeks and keep trying to push myself to be productive. I’m glad that i know someone also related to what i feel🥲 thanks for sharing sarah!!❤

I've watched a variety of video about motivation, but THIS video is so refreshing. The tips for me was so new and useful. Thank you ❤

productive Sarah at its finest and Happy Easter as well! ❤

Thank you for this video. I'm going to try to incorporate such tips......I, too, am a night person. And remember, tomorrow can be a new beginning! Thank you Sarah!

Sarah Posted = Good Day. Happy Easter!!

Love ur vibe girlll

me watching this while rotting in bed l o l

this was so soothing! thanks for making a digestible, calm, motivational video

This video is actually so practical and helpful! Thank you!

You editing is wonderful, your thumbnail caught my attention and of course I've heard just 30% of your tips before but learnt a whole lot. Thank you💕 gonna experiment with all tips

Location stacking was interesting to hear since I feel that moving to another location for something, even if it takes time to commute there, helps me to actually get out of bed and do it. Like I could study at home or the nearest library but commuting further away gives me motivation to study => I'm more productive when I travel.

Thank you for sharing these tips! I especially found super helpful the task stacking and having a second space! The task stacking i probably do already though i've never been conscious of it but i do not have another "space" other than my home (and my humble desk), i wonder if that's why i feel so drained sometime 😅

Great video! For anyone interested reading about the “second space” mentioned, they’re more commonly called “third places” in sociology! Meaning a place of community and leisure away from 1st places (homes) and 2nd places (work)

Thank you professor Pan 🙌🏽 I look forward to your next lesson 🤓

Hi Sarah, Love your videos. You are just real. Just keep doing what you are doing. It's your life you can do whatever you want, thanks for bringing us along for the ride :)

7:30 the only thing I worry ab that is the workout affecting sleep but idk if that’d matter if ur sleep hygiene is in check

first time commenter, but maybe "sit down with sarah" ?! I've been watching you for well over a year and this is my first time commenting on a video 🥲

hi! loved the video and aspiring software engineer here! for your laptop, i found a little foldable stand that helped me a lot! i got it on shein for 7$CAD that way i won't hurt my back more. hope this helps^^

New sub!! Have you had your feet tested for dr. Scholl insoles? I had mine done at my local CVS - there’s different sizes based on your weight and if you’re flat footed etc. (I’m a CF 230). my back pain relief was INSTANT, I was so amazed. This is my first video to see of yours so apologies if you already have good shoes.

Saraaah 😃

I’m like the only person that hated Atomic Habits lol. Great vid! Good tips/ideas 😊

Omg the cat😭😭😭😭

What I need to know is how you keep your white couch clean 😅😂

it got exponentially harder to listen to your words when the kitty started cleaning in the background - my brain can only focus on info or cuteness, bot seems impossible XD just the video i needed, thank you

lol i work at google and have never thought about the frosted glass hiding the soda..

If you're going to always sit down for the majority of the video you could always call the series Sitting with Sarah

What is your skincare routine? Your skin looks so glowy and well rested!

I expected you to say 3 social things a week but you said a DAY!

I have a audio book of Atomic Habits

Love the intro & yes to more sit down chatty vids 🥹 (also you are a trooper for surviving 3 social events a day as your max I can barley get through 1 lmao)

that intro took me out 🤣

I am a junior software engineer and really struggle with imposter syndrome, do you have experience with not feeling confident in your work and maybe make a talking video about how to handle this?

Off topic but what mic are you using?

no because i work at google too but i beeline to the bottom cabinets for the snacks lOL

Cute cat

Girl I first saw this video as I got sicker than I have ever been and rotting in bed 🥹 like noo it’s not on purpose I swear 😭

Hey Sarah because of this video you are now my big sister. Sorry I don't make the rules

He is fine he such has an atitude

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I WAS SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SEE YOU?

6:30

I like Apple chips

like my biggest issue is that I actually do wake up early the issue is that I stay in bed for 2 more hours doing nothing???!

Mam make a video on your income and expenses as a software engineer

Why do you blur your feet?

u should call it “sit-downs with sarah” 😁🤍
