I’ve been watchig Ruby for a few years and tried the whole strict scheduling thing myself. Later on did loads of research on it, to understand why it made me feel the way it did. While scheduling your time is important, it actually is very not healthy to do this at such an extent level as you approach adulthood, because one day either at work or having children, when you no longer are fully in control of your time and there are unexpected changes in your timetable, this will cause distress and anxiety (when it shouldn’t!). I recommend challenging yourself to make sure you can still survive without time restrictions, and once every few months plan a week with absolutely no timetables or schedules. 💕
omg this comment has helped me so much! no wonder i've been feeling so stressed. thank you so much, you've really opened my eyes. i just feel like everywhere all i've seen is productivity/success=tight routines :/ and I kept wondering why i'm so overwhelmed all the time. makes so much sense now so thank you :)
100% the best routines are those crafted of to-do lists. I’m on the autism spectrum (we are famously reliant on tight routines) and what this means for me is I need certainty, which is what a lot of people use the routine for. I have consciously reduced my reliance on timetabled routines because I get into habits easily. I now make to-do lists, and then know that that is what my day looks like and pick and choose what tasks I do when. Now timetables give me anxiety because I know it means I can’t necessarily take breaks when I need to and if I fall of the timetable I feel like it’s all gone wrong and it’s a lost cause so don’t do anything. I don’t make revision timetables or anything like that, I just make sure I do everything and do it when I feel like (whilst still meeting deadlines). For routines there is no times again, but I do do everything in the same order, right down to which sock I put on first, because this means everything is in its place and I do everything I need to do (short-term memory is a killer, if I didn’t do everything in the same order I would regularly forget to do things like brush my teeth). I think having a certain level of planning and predictability in your day is important to get things done and feeling calm with knowing what to expect (especially for people like me), but long term planning all your time ends up holding you back, for me reducing my reliance on timetables has been the key to unlocking both my academic potential and my entire independence, because I keep the routine and strict order for when I need it (like in the morning) but I can take breaks when I need to, add in extra tasks and work it around my list etc.
I agree with this, but personally I have two extremes (I’m still in high school) either I can’t do work, don’t feed my pets often enough, have a super messy room, binge watch Netflix, don’t get enough sleep, don’t do anything that makes me feel like I’m enjoying my life. Or I schedule everything, and get on top of things but find less time to do what I love. earlier this year I was extremely organised, but then during home school fell into a rut of the unorganised habits. Right now I’m starting to find a balance. Just though you should know, I felt more anxious when I was unorganised, and I was disliking myself. I think some people like open ended stuff more and some like everything set in stone.

Thank you for being so open about your mental health. It’s something I really struggle with and it’s easy to think other people are being more productive and have got it all together. Really appreciate your honesty xx
Emily it’s so important for us to prioritise mental health and so many of us shy away from it because of its unfortunate stigma! I want to use my platform to speak more about mental health this year :) for the first time ever, I’m actually making an effort to look after mine x
Ruby Granger hello! I’m 11 and your videos over the past 7 years have been so inspiring, funny, helpful, and ‘more than satisfactory’ to quote Hermione Granger! 😄 I don’t understand why people hate on you, you’re family friendly, funny, motivational, and just so helpful! I hope you have a wonderful night (I live in the UK as well, near London!)

@مريم I have ADHD too, and even tho it's really hard, I started making simple schedules for days that I need to study. Even tho I can't really concentrate, it's kinda easier for keeping track of things, so yeah,you can try it and it may work. 😊
My teacher suggested making a big checklist for the week of subjects to do. Don’t attach a date or a time, just make sure you get everything done on that check list that week. That way, you get all the work done but on your own terms :) x
As a year 13 student doing their A level exams soon, personally I find it much better to instead of making a revision timetable, make a retrospective revision timetable. Ali Abudal on TH-cam has an amazing video about it, but essentially instead of saying you're going to revise at this specific time, you make a timetable of all your different topics in subjects and then decide which ones you're gonna revise on which days and then just do those topics whenever during the day. Stuff happens so sticking to an exact timetable can be really difficult and end up stressing you out if you don't stick to it
I love that you do this. As a Mom of adult children, I wish this was something I did when I was your age. I'm working on having these kinds of routines now. They have been a game changer.
Ella Typical Ruby follower. Why are you all so bossy and why do you all pretend you know better? Do you think Ruby likes that? If you admire her just try to act like she would.
I take ‘teathreePO’ comment as meaning as a mum she doesn’t have time to plan out her days to the minute and that as she probably did have that time pre-children she wishes she had been more like Ruby then? That’s how I read it and I totally get that being a Mum myself - I was a lot like Ruby as a youngster but have lost a lot of that along the way. And yeah, as they get older and maybe as I acquire more ‘me’ time (not yet as I have a teen and a tween and feel they need me more than ever) I will invest in myself....investing in yourself is important - it’s good to grow
It is quite interesting that you could stick to a particular routine in spite of the fact that random events keep popping in uni. For me, I can't stick to a timetable if I see it falling apart because of interruptions. I make a new timetable tailored to that particular day. Your videos are always great. I especially enjoyed the video on why you don't take breaks. I have been trying to apply the tips from it to my life. Very useful. Love you 😘
My three favorite things about your videos - you are very organized, you are true to you and don’t care if it’s popular or not, and you love learning! We are kindred spirits.
I just discovered your channel and I think you’re such an amazing person! Your videos are so light-hearted and optimistic and your way of cherishing life is absolutely amazing, it’s an inspiration. Also you have such a lovely voice, I could listen to it for hours!
@@camembertfanpage There are many good videos on it on YT, so if you would like to know what exactly it is, these are the best resource. There is heavy emphasis in executive dysfunction on not being able to maintain concentration for long, not being able to focus after a distraction, being generally indecisive, having low motivation despite having every reason to be, etc. And these typically don't improve if someone is well-rested and focused. It's quite a more complex thing - definitely do read up on it. It is also helpful to note that executive dysfunction is typically comorbid with ADD or ADHD, particularly ADHD in adulthood - most people curious about their executive functioning would never have considered the possibility that they may have these.
the intense jealously that i just felt from you just hopping on a train and going to a whole other city with relative ease....america needs to get it's train system TOGETHER
Just wanted to tell anyone who needs it that You can do anything you set your mind to, dreams really do come true, and that you are a beautiful and wonderful person just as you are 💓 Thank you Ruby for a lovely and motivating video as always x
Me too! I prefer to create a loose timetable in my head when I need it, or just create a list of what needs doing and do it when I feel. It works for me!
Gabriel Andrade sometimes ... it’s difficult (generally, whether timetable or not because you need to be able to parent yourself in a way 🙃) but I use the “FOREST” app so I can actually see how many hours I was able to be productive.
in university??!! im in college in america and we have usually 5 weeks a class. either monday wednesday friday classes or tuesday and thursday. so that usually translates to 3 or 2 classes a day. university/college has a lot less actual class time but requires a lot more study time :)
@@nesrinisli6921 that's very rude to assume that of anyone. The number of classes someone takes has no direct relation to their intelligent. Studying and learning is about the content, not the time spent in classes. If it is difficult to her, then it is. Everyone is unique, we all have a different perspective and method to approach courses, coursework, and problems. I hope you can be less bitter about other's difficulties and achievement in life, instead of harshly putting them down like you're doing now.
I was feeling really depressed... and i saw that you uploaded and it made me smile. i love your energy keep up!!! Edit: thank you soo much for the support
As someone who struggle with mental health, I wish I could have seen this video when I was a teenager. It would have helped me to reach for help even if I wasn’t suffering from severe problems.
Oh, Ruby could you film a morning routine? I would love to watch it, I'm starting school after winter holidays in Germany and I want to develop a useful and productive routine. Thank you so much for uploading! Loved the video! 💙💙
I love that you just mention going to therapy as a part of your routine. Honestly it's really nice to see you prioritise your well-being. You're such an inspiration to me as I try and get a degree
I am literally the most chaotic person ever, which is just how I function and I loved watching this! It's so satisfying seeing all the things in order yet there's still a casual side to your week :) Hope i can use this as inspo to get things done a bit more even though I probably could never do it to this level! Also this isn't a lesson on how to do things people, this is one person's way of living that they are accustomed to. I honestly have to roll my eyes at some people in these comments that take a jab at her therapy session or the fact that too much organising makes life boring, as if its their own life??? Imagine trying to school someone else on how they like things in life?!?
Ruby you are my number 1 inspiration. I am only 12 but I have been watching you since I was 9. during that time I was going through some severe bullying and you were the one who helped me get through the day and showed me that there more people like me, who loved studying and school. I am now at a new school and happier than ever, but I just wanted to tell you that you were my rock for 2 very hard years of my life. Thank you.
i don't necessarily think this is toxic perfectionism--it only seems that way because Ruby accomplishes many of the tasks we attempt to do but never find time to schedule!! She's full time at school and youtube, so obviously she has to create very detailed schedules!! She attends therapy, and schedules time to do things she enjoys! I wouldn't worry about her too much :) Thank you Ruby for inspiring me to really be more proactive and mindful about how i spend my time !!
KaffeLatte I know that I have suffered with perfectionism in the past but, ironically, this schedule actually helps me keep it in check and stops me from getting overly stressed about getting things done :) I can make sure I’m looking after my health and doing things I enjoy, whereas when I was at school and didn’t have a weekly schedule, I would end up spending most of my time studying on default! Plus I don’t schedule my weekends - they’re pretty much free for me to dedicate to friends, family and personal hobbies / projects ☺️xx
Ruby Granger exactly!! same for me, scheduling time to look after health/other tasks as well as school allows me to lift the mental load on my mind that there is so much i need to accomplish! it’s so helpful and i’m so happy that this works for you 💕
I was feeling really demotivated and I have an exam tomorrow in which I am aiming to get 100%.Wish me luck . As soon as I saw your notification , I immediately clicked . You have no idea how much of an inspiration you are to me and many others . Keep doing what you do . Keep shining.
I myself solved one of the questions I and some of the commenters had: perfectionism and being organized. They are closely related but two different things. Perfection is demanded when it is needed--not always. However, being organized and self-disciplined do not always mean that you are a perfectionist. Yet, when the perfection is required, it can be assumed that an organized person can deliver easily. Because she or he is always working around it. But I should add an exception that there are situations even a well-organized person sometimes fails deliver the perfection via slight mistakes.
Loving the therapy session inclusion! One thing I wish I had done earlier was to organise therapy sessions during university / through my 20s. Your teens through your 20s can be so challenging and is a fantastic idea to have some professional support for those who can
I learn a lot from and feel inspired by you after having watched you doing routines, scheduling and planning, to be more productive. Thank You, Ruby, for putting the time and effort in your vids! Your communication skills are top-notch I feel so uplifted by all that energy and enthusiasm ;-)
So nice to see someone opening up about therapy. I have OCPD and it can be frustrating when people throw the word perfectionism around lightly, because although it can be helpful it can also go to a very extreme level and impacts on your like so much.
I started reading the description box and looked at your classical music recommendation... Amazing!😍😍 I actually know most of the songs and it's great to see that there are more people out there who love classical music 😘
1:24 You know that's not something to skim over lol it took me 8 years of depression, suicide attempts and self harming to go to therapy 😂 you're doing something a lot of people can't!! good on you Ruby x

I also plan my whole week. I make sure that I allocate certain days and times for every subject so I know things will always get done and I always have my workouts planned because it depends on my class schedule, which is the same every week. I love having it this way!
These simple things are too precious to remember. If you think about it, Ruby is very lucky. I hope she stays bright in this dark world we live in today.
Ruby, you are so amazing. You're content is so uplifting and you are such a kindhearted, genuine person which is imperative for a TH-camr to be. Keep being yourself - one of the best people to ever walk this earth!
Wow thank you for persevering through filming and being open about prioritizing mental & physical health. it must of been a lot of work to get an entire week! 😊 do you have any tips for procrastination? Love you ruby 💘💘
This is why I love TH-cam. A 37 year old man here getting inspired and tips from an 18 year old Uni student :D Thanks for all the videos and good luck with your studies.
I've been watching your videos from the past few months and I've really started seeing a change in myself. I wakeup early, invest more time in studying and catch up on my reading in leisure time. Thank you for doing what you do! ❤️
I'm in my senior year of high school which means next year I go to college and I've been debating on what I want to major in and you've really helped in me deciding to go for English Literature because I want to do anything involved with writing & books and I was unsure until I watched this. So thank you for that and hope you are doing well! :) ♡♡♡
Haven’t thought of being in the front place today! Every time after watching the video, I would always be guilty of not being focused but also energetic for the coming study! 🙈🙈🤣😚
Hi Ruby, I love your videos about organisation and planning, and they really inspire me to be more organised! I'm about to end my job as a newspaper deliverer, which takes up most of my morning before school and really need some kind of guidance on what my new morning routine should look like 😊 I know you love filming morning and night routine videos so I hope asking for an updated morning routine video isn't too much! Love this video as always x
Really glad you've taken your foot off the gas re: studying, looks like you're loving life! You're golden - don't need to do any more work. Cheers Rubes, wishing you well from Norwich.
One of my most favorite videos that you've done, thank you thank you. As a college student, I can really relate to your schedule (but I got some good tips as well) ;)
I love watching your videos, Ruby! I'm a student in Engineering and our fields of study could not be more different. However, I always find your videos inspire me to be productive with my time and live my life more intentionally. Keep up the marvelous work! :)
Awh I’ve watched your vids for a while and I’m so glad to see you balancing study and real life/ relaxing so well! You seem to be so much more settled now :)
Ruby you are amazing! Watching you makes me feel calm and happy inside. Also whenever I'm studying and feel like I'm going to procrastinate, I start watching one of your videos and immediately get back to my work after like a minute. You motivate me so much. Don't worry about people shit-talking like “Oh 70% is not good, I'm better“ etc etc. You are awesome and I admire your hard as well as efficient work, your nice personality and your happy, inviting atmosphere. Keep on doing what you love and stay happy!
This was so relaxing and inspiring to watch! I also appreciated the captions, I think they add a nice touch :) thank you for sharing, hope you’ll have a great week xxx
Ruby, you are so beautiful! I have been following your journey for quite a while now, and you seem to be growing into such a lovely lady! Keep doing what you enjoy, and good luck for your future. :-)
Hey Ruby, i just wanted to tell you that I did a case study on your 15-hour study day video for my uni exam (i’m doing media studies). I used the comment section to exemplify a theory we had learnt in class 😄 unfortunately i can’t show you because it’s in Danish, but it got me a good grade 👍🏼
@@user-nv7uq3zj5e Well long story short, the comments show that the message does not come across how Ruby presumably intended it to (at least to a lot of the viewers who commented). But I only used the comment section as an example of the viewers' interpretations of the message, in order to discuss how an old media theory (developed for mass media) can apply to modern day media platforms like TH-cam :)
I also have a weekly planner 6am-11pm everyday. On the page beforehand on word I have a table outlining when assignments are due, when the results are back and my personal goals/to-do-list in order of priority!
You have definitely blessed us with a long upload ☺ Thank you for the video Ruby, it's brilliant to see more lifestyle (routine, food etc.) videos on your channel! One thing I'd like to note (if you see this) is that the best videos are the ones that you enjoy making and editing, regardless of the genre, I hope this is one of them for you ❤
Hey Ruby! I was wondering you could perhaps make a video about how you tackle your academic reading assignments? Like your reading process and how you take notes on them etc? Would be super helpful. Thanks so much! Also, Station Eleven is truly my favourite book and I hope you’re enjoying it 💚💚
😱😳💝OMG!! I just love that first song you used in your video!! This so relaxing & I'm watching it right now in the morning!! Love you so much Ruby!! ❤💖😘💗💕✨
Your videos bring me so much joy! In the current global situation I just want to say Thankyou for making such positive, uplifting videos.... It’s so nice to be able to relax and write a pen pale letter with your videos playing in the background. Love from Australia xx :)
"Everybody's talking about Jamie" was AMAZING! I visited London last last Christmas with my sister and got the tickets to the show even though I didn't have the slightest idea what is about. But the poster already interested me and I loved every single minute of it! My sister ended up watching the show for 6 times!
I love your videos. My only negative comment ( this isn’t aimed at you because you are awesome) is a lot of uni students moan about how hard their life is- yet I can manage being a housewife and a full time carer for my husband who’s terminally ill, and I’m also studying for an interior design degree.
Needed this video! I’ve been struggling to switch off from university work, genuinely all I think about is midwifery. Hopefully this will inspire me to make time for myself 💚✨
it makes me so happy to watch people who got their shit together lol
Ruby's videos have me questioning my existence al the time. How I wish my life was this together.

It is quite interesting that you could stick to a particular routine in spite of the fact that random events keep popping in uni. For me, I can't stick to a timetable if I see it falling apart because of interruptions. I make a new timetable tailored to that particular day.
Your videos are always great. I especially enjoyed the video on why you don't take breaks. I have been trying to apply the tips from it to my life. Very useful. Love you 😘
watching Ruby's vlogs makes me realize how unproductive my life really is
RBC KLY yeah I feel like I’m wasting my youth but every time I do a schedule, I just can’t follow it
British Train to London helped make her more productive because she don’t have to drive but in America, people are forced to drive!

Exactly. All these comments are depressing. If anyone wants to change into her, they’d be her.
My three favorite things about your videos - you are very organized, you are true to you and don’t care if it’s popular or not, and you love learning! We are kindred spirits.
I just discovered your channel and I think you’re such an amazing person! Your videos are so light-hearted and optimistic and your way of cherishing life is absolutely amazing, it’s an inspiration. Also you have such a lovely voice, I could listen to it for hours!
imagine being able to stay so on top of everything, my executive dysfunction ass could never lmao
Why _hello_ fellow executive-dysfunctional, never thought I'd find someone who even knew what it was on here!
May I ask what it is? Always trying to learn something :) x
@@camembertfanpage There are many good videos on it on YT, so if you would like to know what exactly it is, these are the best resource. There is heavy emphasis in executive dysfunction on not being able to maintain concentration for long, not being able to focus after a distraction, being generally indecisive, having low motivation despite having every reason to be, etc. And these typically don't improve if someone is well-rested and focused. It's quite a more complex thing - definitely do read up on it. It is also helpful to note that executive dysfunction is typically comorbid with ADD or ADHD, particularly ADHD in adulthood - most people curious about their executive functioning would never have considered the possibility that they may have these.
Executive dysfunction culture is watching in awe as Ruby just starts tasks?? Just like that?? She needs to do something and then she does it?? Wild
@@izzy2770 Legit haha! That is exactly what happens to me 😅
I love that you send people handwritten letters. No one does that anymore!
I use drones to send my letters

the intense jealously that i just felt from you just hopping on a train and going to a whole other city with relative ease....america needs to get it's train system TOGETHER
Agree, someday I hope to get on a train in Kansas City in the morning and be in NYC by lunchtime.
frfr riding a real train (& not one in a theme park) seems so fun
Just wanted to tell anyone who needs it that You can do anything you set your mind to, dreams really do come true, and that you are a beautiful and wonderful person just as you are 💓
Thank you Ruby for a lovely and motivating video as always x
Personally I feel very confined by timetables and it gives me a lot of anxiety, I rather do what I do when I want it (that includes studying)
It doesn't work very well when you have work and got many things beyond studying to do. You need to enjoy every second and work. It's complicated.
Me too! I prefer to create a loose timetable in my head when I need it, or just create a list of what needs doing and do it when I feel. It works for me!
Gabriel Andrade sometimes ... it’s difficult (generally, whether timetable or not because you need to be able to parent yourself in a way 🙃) but I use the “FOREST” app so I can actually see how many hours I was able to be productive.
Rainy Day I don’t think I could do it either. But it obviously works for Ruby. I’m a little envious TBH.
if i dont have a timetable and just 'do what i want' i end up doing nothing lol
Whenever I’m in a slump with my studies, I watch Ruby and she inspires me all over again! I love love love your videos!x
It doesn't seem to me that you have many classes, i have days when i have classes from 8am till 8pm, with a 2 hour breake, barely have any free time
in university??!! im in college in america and we have usually 5 weeks a class. either monday wednesday friday classes or tuesday and thursday. so that usually translates to 3 or 2 classes a day. university/college has a lot less actual class time but requires a lot more study time :)
I’m the same! I get out of the house at 7am, classes all day, something don’t even have a lunch break and get home by 7pm!
it’s because Ruby is not very intelligent and even that little of classes stresses her
@@nesrinisli6921 that's very rude to assume that of anyone. The number of classes someone takes has no direct relation to their intelligent. Studying and learning is about the content, not the time spent in classes. If it is difficult to her, then it is. Everyone is unique, we all have a different perspective and method to approach courses, coursework, and problems. I hope you can be less bitter about other's difficulties and achievement in life, instead of harshly putting them down like you're doing now.
I'm in college and I have classes from 9am to 4.30 pm from Monday to Saturday. 😅
I was feeling really depressed... and i saw that you uploaded and it made me smile. i love your energy keep up!!!
Edit: thank you soo much for the support
Keep going! ❤
Stay strong...tough times don't last but tough people do😊
I go through this always, being an Indian it becomes really tough to feel relaxed without studing 😅 ...
hang in there, friend! depression is hard but you can get through it
Sanjana Venkatesh, I hope your feeling better, I will pray for you,
what happened about the cottage? you've not given us updates in a while :)
As someone who struggle with mental health, I wish I could have seen this video when I was a teenager. It would have helped me to reach for help even if I wasn’t suffering from severe problems.
Oh, Ruby could you film a morning routine? I would love to watch it, I'm starting school after winter holidays in Germany and I want to develop a useful and productive routine.
Thank you so much for uploading! Loved the video! 💙💙
She has some already. Good luck with your productivity and school!!
I live in Germany 👍🏻 I wish you good luck, sis! You’ll rock that.☺️
I love that you just mention going to therapy as a part of your routine. Honestly it's really nice to see you prioritise your well-being. You're such an inspiration to me as I try and get a degree
I am literally the most chaotic person ever, which is just how I function and I loved watching this! It's so satisfying seeing all the things in order yet there's still a casual side to your week :) Hope i can use this as inspo to get things done a bit more even though I probably could never do it to this level!
Also this isn't a lesson on how to do things people, this is one person's way of living that they are accustomed to. I honestly have to roll my eyes at some people in these comments that take a jab at her therapy session or the fact that too much organising makes life boring, as if its their own life??? Imagine trying to school someone else on how they like things in life?!?
Honestly, you are the best studytuber ❤️
Ruby you are my number 1 inspiration. I am only 12 but I have been watching you since I was 9. during that time I was going through some severe bullying and you were the one who helped me get through the day and showed me that there more people like me, who loved studying and school. I am now at a new school and happier than ever, but I just wanted to tell you that you were my rock for 2 very hard years of my life. Thank you.
i don't necessarily think this is toxic perfectionism--it only seems that way because Ruby accomplishes many of the tasks we attempt to do but never find time to schedule!! She's full time at school and youtube, so obviously she has to create very detailed schedules!! She attends therapy, and schedules time to do things she enjoys! I wouldn't worry about her too much :) Thank you Ruby for inspiring me to really be more proactive and mindful about how i spend my time !!
KaffeLatte I know that I have suffered with perfectionism in the past but, ironically, this schedule actually helps me keep it in check and stops me from getting overly stressed about getting things done :) I can make sure I’m looking after my health and doing things I enjoy, whereas when I was at school and didn’t have a weekly schedule, I would end up spending most of my time studying on default! Plus I don’t schedule my weekends - they’re pretty much free for me to dedicate to friends, family and personal hobbies / projects ☺️xx
Ruby Granger exactly!! same for me, scheduling time to look after health/other tasks as well as school allows me to lift the mental load on my mind that there is so much i need to accomplish! it’s so helpful and i’m so happy that this works for you 💕
And here i am giving away every min of my life on Netflix
Bad idea sister
I was feeling really demotivated and I have an exam tomorrow in which I am aiming to get 100%.Wish me luck . As soon as I saw your notification , I immediately clicked . You have no idea how much of an inspiration you are to me and many others . Keep doing what you do .
Keep shining.
someone awkward Good luck on your exam !!!! I know you can do it perfectly !!!!!
Best of luck!!!
@@_lerassh_6250 aww thank uu

Good luck for the exams ✊ you can do it.
I love how true you are to yourself, you don’t fake it
“Just an excuse to walk around Waterstones “ is such a mood and I love it
I myself solved one of the questions I and some of the commenters had: perfectionism and being organized. They are closely related but two different things. Perfection is demanded when it is needed--not always. However, being organized and self-disciplined do not always mean that you are a perfectionist. Yet, when the perfection is required, it can be assumed that an organized person can deliver easily. Because she or he is always working around it. But I should add an exception that there are situations even a well-organized person sometimes fails deliver the perfection via slight mistakes.
Loving the therapy session inclusion! One thing I wish I had done earlier was to organise therapy sessions during university / through my 20s. Your teens through your 20s can be so challenging and is a fantastic idea to have some professional support for those who can
Thank you for being such an inspirational and warm person.
I learn a lot from and feel inspired by you after having watched you doing routines, scheduling and planning, to be more productive.
Thank You, Ruby, for putting the time and effort in your vids! Your communication skills are top-notch I feel so uplifted by all that energy and enthusiasm ;-)
So nice to see someone opening up about therapy. I have OCPD and it can be frustrating when people throw the word perfectionism around lightly, because although it can be helpful it can also go to a very extreme level and impacts on your like so much.
Your videos help me get over my depression! Thank you Ruby. 🙏🏻
❤❤❤❤
I started reading the description box and looked at your classical music recommendation... Amazing!😍😍 I actually know most of the songs and it's great to see that there are more people out there who love classical music 😘
mellon nîn I’m so glad you commented this! I wasn’t sure if anyone read the description box! X
@@RubyGranger8 Thank you so much for replying!😘 You are such a great inspiration for me!
1:24 You know that's not something to skim over lol it took me 8 years of depression, suicide attempts and self harming to go to therapy 😂 you're doing something a lot of people can't!! good on you Ruby x
Hey there friend...you're not alone I hope u always be in a place of strength and happiness!!!🌟xxAmy❤
I’ve tried the whole scheduling every minute of my life and it drove me BONKERS

I grew up with this girl and seeing her only getting more beautiful and smarter warms my heart
These simple things are too precious to remember. If you think about it, Ruby is very lucky. I hope she stays bright in this dark world we live in today.
For some reason, I love watching (or hear) Ruby’s productive video while I fold my clothes. Makes folding clothes much more enjoyable. 😅
You're absolutely amazing Ruby, so proud of you sweet. Hope all the happiness, love, luck, health, success and beauty in the world!!! 🌻🌻
Ruby, you are so amazing. You're content is so uplifting and you are such a kindhearted, genuine person which is imperative for a TH-camr to be. Keep being yourself - one of the best people to ever walk this earth!
Wow thank you for persevering through filming and being open about prioritizing mental & physical health. it must of been a lot of work to get an entire week! 😊 do you have any tips for procrastination? Love you ruby 💘💘
"This is what it looks like", you make your life so smooth and simple ...i really enjoy your videos 🙂
This is why I love TH-cam. A 37 year old man here getting inspired and tips from an 18 year old Uni student :D Thanks for all the videos and good luck with your studies.
I've been watching your videos from the past few months and I've really started seeing a change in myself. I wakeup early, invest more time in studying and catch up on my reading in leisure time. Thank you for doing what you do! ❤️
Tomorrow I have an important exam and I'm relaxing a bit with your video. Thank you for helping so many people 💛
In my country , because of corona viruss , we have a long holiday . I am from Vietnam
I'm in my senior year of high school which means next year I go to college and I've been debating on what I want to major in and you've really helped in me deciding to go for English Literature because I want to do anything involved with writing & books and I was unsure until I watched this. So thank you for that and hope you are doing well! :) ♡♡♡
I just want to live my life this way
I love your overflow task section, I'm going to start adding that to my routine.
I love how you are unapologetically yourself. I love watching your videos when I am down and unmotivated. It really helps me! Xxx
Your voice is just so elegant and pleasant..
Haven’t thought of being in the front place today! Every time after watching the video, I would always be guilty of not being focused but also energetic for the coming study! 🙈🙈🤣😚
Hi Ruby, I love your videos about organisation and planning, and they really inspire me to be more organised! I'm about to end my job as a newspaper deliverer, which takes up most of my morning before school and really need some kind of guidance on what my new morning routine should look like 😊 I know you love filming morning and night routine videos so I hope asking for an updated morning routine video isn't too much! Love this video as always x
The light when she cleans the kitchen...anyone else thinks it's beautiful or is it just me? 🤩
Really glad you've taken your foot off the gas re: studying, looks like you're loving life! You're golden - don't need to do any more work. Cheers Rubes, wishing you well from Norwich.
One of my most favorite videos that you've done, thank you thank you. As a college student, I can really relate to your schedule (but I got some good tips as well) ;)
I love watching your videos, Ruby! I'm a student in Engineering and our fields of study could not be more different. However, I always find your videos inspire me to be productive with my time and live my life more intentionally. Keep up the marvelous work! :)
Awh I’ve watched your vids for a while and I’m so glad to see you balancing study and real life/ relaxing so well! You seem to be so much more settled now :)
Ruby you are amazing!
Watching you makes me feel calm and happy inside. Also whenever I'm studying and feel like I'm going to procrastinate, I start watching one of your videos and immediately get back to my work after like a minute. You motivate me so much.
Don't worry about people shit-talking like “Oh 70% is not good, I'm better“ etc etc. You are awesome and I admire your hard as well as efficient work, your nice personality and your happy, inviting atmosphere.
Keep on doing what you love and stay happy!
0:23 you look gorgeous just as it is !!!
This was so relaxing and inspiring to watch! I also appreciated the captions, I think they add a nice touch :) thank you for sharing, hope you’ll have a great week xxx
You are so productive! I watch you while I put up my laundry because it makes it enjoyable! 😊
Ruby, you are so beautiful! I have been following your journey for quite a while now, and you seem to be growing into such a lovely lady! Keep doing what you enjoy, and good luck for your future. :-)
Hey Ruby, i just wanted to tell you that I did a case study on your 15-hour study day video for my uni exam (i’m doing media studies). I used the comment section to exemplify a theory we had learnt in class 😄 unfortunately i can’t show you because it’s in Danish, but it got me a good grade 👍🏼
What was the outcome of the case study? I'm especially curious to see what the comment section proved 😆
@@user-nv7uq3zj5e Well long story short, the comments show that the message does not come across how Ruby presumably intended it to (at least to a lot of the viewers who commented). But I only used the comment section as an example of the viewers' interpretations of the message, in order to discuss how an old media theory (developed for mass media) can apply to modern day media platforms like TH-cam :)
So you don't have a specific plan. .. you go accordingly. . This is the best way to be most productive I know. .. 👍
I also have a weekly planner 6am-11pm everyday. On the page beforehand on word I have a table outlining when assignments are due, when the results are back and my personal goals/to-do-list in order of priority!
You have definitely blessed us with a long upload ☺ Thank you for the video Ruby, it's brilliant to see more lifestyle (routine, food etc.) videos on your channel! One thing I'd like to note (if you see this) is that the best videos are the ones that you enjoy making and editing, regardless of the genre, I hope this is one of them for you ❤
Ent Acc I LOVED making this video!
@@RubyGranger8 I'm so glad to hear it ☺❤
This might be my favourite vlog of yours!
You are such a beautiful person! You are doing so much good FOR YOU. I sincerely admire your efforts in balancing your life so perfectly!!
Good job you go to therapy, I went to therapy whilst at uni and it helped me immensely x
Hey Ruby! I was wondering you could perhaps make a video about how you tackle your academic reading assignments? Like your reading process and how you take notes on them etc? Would be super helpful. Thanks so much!
Also, Station Eleven is truly my favourite book and I hope you’re enjoying it 💚💚
Ruby you never cease to amaze me. Thanks for being you :)

your always so put together. i need to be more like this. i need to learn how to be more organised
Your TH-cam videos are some of my favourites to watch at the moment 🥰 they’re so genuine and wholesome, leaves me feeling very content!
The kitchen looks so picturesque. I love it !
Really glad to hear that you're prioritising your mental health this year 💙
You somehow just get more inspiring and beautiful with each passing day.
Your videos bring me so much joy! In the current global situation I just want to say Thankyou for making such positive, uplifting videos.... It’s so nice to be able to relax and write a pen pale letter with your videos playing in the background. Love from Australia xx :)
"Everybody's talking about Jamie" was AMAZING! I visited London last last Christmas with my sister and got the tickets to the show even though I didn't have the slightest idea what is about. But the poster already interested me and I loved every single minute of it! My sister ended up watching the show for 6 times!
I feel so happy while watching this! You are really living my dream girl. Stay happiee always sweetheart ♥️♥️♥️💜
You’re so precious Ruby! I love that you’re focusing more on your mental health. ❤️
A notification for ruby's video always makes me happy 😊😊
I love your videos. My only negative comment ( this isn’t aimed at you because you are awesome) is a lot of uni students moan about how hard their life is- yet I can manage being a housewife and a full time carer for my husband who’s terminally ill, and I’m also studying for an interior design degree.
Needed this video! I’ve been struggling to switch off from university work, genuinely all I think about is midwifery. Hopefully this will inspire me to make time for myself 💚✨
I'm starting school tomorrow .....so thanks for the motivation
