Hi...I am a 42 year old doctor and a mother of two. Though I already had my hands full with family and full time job, lately I was feeling that I wasn't accomplishing anything for myself. So I got myself registered for a upgrading exam and that brought me to your video..how I can manage everything in my day. I would definitely follow two tactics...first physically keep away my phone while I am studying as that really disturbs me a lot and planning a highlight for my day so that even if I do only that thing ..I can go to sleep satisfied and wake up motivated. Thanks again for this video.
I needed to see this as a reminder to get back on that wagon and make my day more productive. Covid-19 has completely derailed my life. Thank you Ankita.
I've been absolutely loving these videos of yours. I have decided to use this video to organize my day from today itself. Thank you so much. I'm taking notes!
I loved all the sections. But the last one, where you said to get disconnected is the most wonderful. This phase disconnects with works and connects you with your self. An introspection phase. Thank you ankita. Keep smiling😊
Prioritizing tasks according to urgency & time blocking are definitely the 2 tips I found helpful! This entire video is so well put together & perfect for a time like this! Totally needed this right now.. Please do more videos like this! ❤
I just love your wellness content so much, it's just soooo soothing, I'm gonna try all of the tactics specially time blocking and disconnecting ones!! You are an inspiration!! Thank you
It's always so calming to listen to you. I can get overwhelmed with things, so, planning and separating time for activities and having an end of work day activity which is a walk n skincare helps a lot
I loved how genuinely happy you were while you were talking like you were literally smiling all the way through! And that shows how genuinely enthusiastic you are regarding this topic.. I will definitely try time blocking! I think it will make a huge shift from distractions to actually focus💖
I loved the concept of "time blocking"... Thank you so much for this video... Your soothing voice makes it so beautiful as much as its informative! 💙🙏🏼
I came back to this video just to tell you that physically seperating my work space and relaxing area made such a difference, even planning the day the night before was an amazing suggestion I am trying ti implement. It was the smallest of changes I wonder why I didnt realise much earlier. Thank you!!
It is amazing to see you emanate so much positivity . I have been on a quest to follow an organised lifestyle but in vain.From henceforth I will mark the highlight of the next day before I go to sleep . I also feel drained when i sit to study . I will definetly try and implement the high-energy timings to do my work instead of loitering around .
Been an Ad Sales professional I end up working till 8-9 in the night making proposals and plans for my clients. I will definitely use the "plan your next day" this will help me to be organized for work and also allow some time in the day to workout & learn Cooking. Thank you for the amazing video. It's crispy and to the point. Sending Lots of love..! ❤️
All the tips are very helpful. But this one point is most important where you said "Energy is more important than time because at the end of the day you have time but you don't have any energy." Thank you for sharing these wonderful tips. Lots of love to you, Ankita ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I will be using 1)Doing the important work at morning time and 2) making different places for study and rest....love you😍😍💗💗...... Update: On 10 August, Your hacks really increased the productivity as well as my efficiency of my studies especially when one prepares for Competitive exams....thanku soo muchhhhh....lots of love to u💗💗😘😘😘😘😘😘
Lovely... Identifying peak hours is a good idea!! I am a teacher and a morning person.. I have too cook three meals for a family of five... Do homeschooling for my kid... Cleaning and other random stuff! This video is a real saviour! I have already started sorting things out in my head while watching this video! It's so clear and we'll made! Thanks a ton!
Your "daily highlight" and "eliminating the distraction" would top my recent method of planning, you made the points so simple to understand, trying very hard to achieve my daily planning, but still some things remain unfinished, this video has helped a lot
Loved the video especially for someone like me who is chaos queen.. personally, I liked the idea of jotting down under different categories like 'do/devote/delegate/delete/' ..helps in prioritizing..keep such inspiring videos coming.. good luck.luv u
Loved the segment on “How to disconnect”, for most of the time I don’t really disconnect well and keep thinking of things like work while even trying to sleep, which leads to lack of sleep and additional stress. Let me just “disconnect” well and rest better. 😊😊
You are so right when you mention these days the feeling is living at work. I always feel I have to do something work related all the time to feel productive. I'm going to implement 3 things. Finding peak hours, removing distractions and a ritual to signal end of working day. Hope I can be successful in this. Thank you for the tips. ❤️
Oh My God ! Your research on this topic is incredibly Impressive & On the dot ! It reflects so much positivity ❤❤ To let you know Ankita , I am a medical student & I struggle with my habit of procrastination and cannot keep myself going until I feel pressurized by the exams / submissions / clinical work & also, the obvious distractions that you talked about come in my way a lot ! So I would definitely take away your tips of planning the next day before going to bed and the elimination of distractions. This video of yours worked as a gentle & important reminder to improvise ourselves just by making a few changes in our habits & staying committed to them . Thank you very much for this one . Lots of Love from Gujarat & keep going 💖💖
Making a physical routine after finishing the work is what I needed the most and I am definitely going to try it out . I have learned so much from this video. Thank you so much.
Planning previous day and identifying peak hours is something which I felt will really help. This is irrespective of anyone who are working or not. Really helpful video, thanks for taking time to share this info.
End of the work ritual will be my pick. Its so important as some times it does happens that even after putting my laptop off I am mentally into my work. Great suggestions! 😍
This video came at the perfect time! I will be applying specifically 1. Making daily highlight and 2. Having end of the day ritual and disconnecting. As a healthcare professional, it's really difficult to manage time and not to bring your work to home. So these 2 tactics will be really helpful.
I feel your content and talks so personally connected to me after knowing your 'why do I live alone' video. I feel so much love n respect for you and for your life journey and your learning attitude. I am also learning things which helping me to get my life on track again. Love you. thanks for this video.
Hi Ankita! This video was a godsend. These past few months have been so mentally exhausting that my productivity levels had hit a terrible low as I was not feeling well and everything felt so disorganized. I loved every one of the tactics that you suggested. This video had so much of positive energy that it really calmed me down. I will try and follow all these suggestions. Although, I loved setting a daily highlight every night, as a great suggestion and I am going to practice it. Thank you so much for this video! More power to you! ❤️
Your idea of peak hours is really good. You suggested that in your previous routine video that. I have been trying to implement it in my day. Your voice is soothing and your words are wise. Loads of love ❤️🦋
I need to identify my most productive hours. Very important for a new mother now..so much to write, note and wfh as well.. life's in a spin....I need to stop spiralling out of control. This was much needed Ankita. Thank you..
I cnt explain in my words that i am seeing myself in you as i m facing same issues in my life .I am 39 year old but i kept myself alive after so many ups nd downs.Nw i am living single life from last 10 years but i learnt lots of things from you. From this video i too will start my day with a planner which is just a night before sleeping.Thnx
It feels so good to say that I follow most of these productive habits from years but the Eisenhower matrix is quite new to me, definately gonna give it a try! ✨
A much-needed video in times like these! I would be trying to create and end of work day physical ritual as I keep on working and there's not really much difference between work and leisurely time anymore. Maybe this will help me unwind! ❤️
Writing down the tasks for the next day is something I really want to try out because that is something that will help me not waste time when I wake up.
Having a hectic work from home currently... Thank you for mentioning about the Eisenhower way of urgent and important work...It's so useful.. Also the time blocking as we can get the tasks done efficiently..I will be implementing both of this in my schedule...
You know what! I followed you from very past it's not now but when I saw your videos related life relation at that I was also facing obstacle I was very low , I was blaming mahself & accepting all Elegation but now YESH I am observing ONLY myself & m feeling very better A big THANKS to YOU😇
This is such a helpful video..! Not many youtubers talk about this subject. Everybody organizes their home, kitchen, wardrobe and everything, but our life and each day of life is such a mess🙆 which needs to be taken care of. Thank you for taking up this topic. I really appreciate the idea of changing location as we switch off from the work. Our post-work time should be well spent in the living room / balcony. 😊
Hi🙋🏻♀️ I am surely gonna eliminate distractions n cut on social media scrolling that really eats up my prime time I really love the way you explain n speak
Hi Ankita! I'm going to try the end of day ritual, especially now that we are constricted within our homes. I struggle with turning off my working mind, and I really like the idea of doing something that officially signifies the end of the working day. So thank you for this tip! ❤️
This is clearly bone of my favourite videos of yours. The most important points for me is to - block time for important activities in the day and eliminating distractions
This video is really really helpful. Tactics i will incorporate would be :- 1. Keep my phone away while working to avoid distractions. 2. Plan my day in advance. 3. Identify my peak hours. 4. Identify a work zone in the house. Thanks a lot Ankita ! :*
Such a wonderful video! Most people talk about staying away from distractions. What I liked that you suggested to schedule them rather than craving for them. Very thoughtful and needless to say I am going to get it into practice. Bless you
Hey Ankita. Being a doctor I got really no time for myself. But thanks to you. I really like the concept of planning the day ahead @ night. Thank you. Keep enlightening us with such useful videos. Cheers!
Really helpful video! Time Blocking has helped me to draw the line between working from home and my personal time for other works , I allocate time for cooking & cleaning etc. This way I feel better organized and focused. I take one task at a time and try to complete till I am done with the other works also which are associated with the task. For example, if I have alloted time for cooking, I would clean the utensils simultaneously so that all the kitchen related work gets completed during the same blocked time. Only then I move to another task. This makes me more focused.
Really helpful content in the current situation and quite different from the other ones!! I’m still finding it comfortable to focus at nighttime😁 “Managing enery level and Blocking time for specific tasks” are really required for me and I’m going to implement them immediately. Thank u!!
Amongst all of the tactics suggested by you, the one that has helped me be constructive was identifying my peak productive hours, along with time blocking. In another story of yours, the 'Pomodoro technique' suggested by you also really helped, cited as time blocking in this video. It's very soothing to listen to you and watch your videos! Keep up with your positivity 😇🤗
Hi, it’s just so soothing to watch your videos❤️ The most important pointer that you made to me was the idea of creating “work zones”, most importantly not mixing up the sacred (recreation) space with the work space.
I looooove watching your lifestyle related videos along with make up tutorials because I feel as a human I will only look better on the outside if my lifestyle and mental health is well managed! I have already started planning my next day like you said, and I will also definitely use the Highlighting a task tactic, and separating my work time and personal time using a 'work end ritual' and changing my location !! Thank you so much for the amazing content! Much love
Thank you for the insights. It was just what I needed at this point. Your videos have a therapeutic vibe and I love watching them. I’d be implementing two things... firstly switch off work after work, and use the prioritisation technique based on urgency and importance. Thanks again for making this video, its a wonderful one.
These points really help to live in a day rather than passing a day in life.. Planning a night before would help me much better than waking up with a messy head!!!
I will adopt most of things u told in the video bcz it will surely help me like planning at night,removing distractions and most important is identifying peak productive hours
Creating an end of the day work day routine is a superb idea! How it did not strike me earlier i wonder!!! Thank you. I am sure this would work for me!!!!!
Thank you so much for this amazing video on how to organize the day.. I'm going to try all of these but what I found very special and interesting was setting one highlight, Eisenhower matrix and time blocking.. So definitely will try those..❤
I am a workaholic too! So learning to detach myself from the working hours would be great help. I tried it immediately after watching your video. Baby steps taken! thank you. I have shared it with a friend.
I really liked your idea of planning your next day work a night before so that unnecessary time is not wasted in thinking which work to do first, and even m a pen and paper person
"Have a separate physical space for work/rest" Simple as it sounds, how important at the same time difficult to maintain this. This is my favourite and going to incorporate it ❤️
Thank you for your effort ! ❤️ I will be using the second tactic i.e. finding my peak hours . "" managing energy is more important than time "" well said !!
You are absolutely correct on all four points. In today's fast paced world where Social media has taken over our lives it is very important that we prioritise our work and set aside a fixed time to enjoy our social activities.
You have no idea how much this will help every one. Thank you for making this video. It has certainly intrigued my intellectual self. Personally for me the time blocking factor was a real help. As a mother to a toddler I sieve in my work (I am an Academician) as per my toddlers sleep schedule. The challenge for me is that i feel so drained by all the running around at home that when my child is asleep I tend to sleep with him 😴.. Therefore time blocking will be of great help. Once again thank you for making this video.
Iam going to follow these : 1.Planning before the day. 2.Removing the distractions mostly the social media and setting a time for it. 3.Going to set early mornings as my productive time. 4.Setting an activity which indicates,its end of my work time. There is so much of positivity in this video and I'm sure this will help me alot.. when I feel down ,I just watch your videos, your voice is really soothing. 🥰 Lots of Love Rashi Reddy
As soon as your video notification comes the very first thing I do is to like the video first and then watch it. Your words are so sound and your way of talking is itself so soothing that it makes me realizes all the important things (which had slipped off my mind) which I had learnt from your earlier videos. The biggest reason of watching you is that you have become my inspiration and I love you as a person. I so want to become like u which I know that one day I'll become in shaa Allah. Coming to the things which I liked about you is the thing again which I had learnt from your previous videos that is 1) Since we are energized and fresh in mornings so finish all those tasks which requires brains in morning itself 2) Utilize the time before sleeping in planning your next day and read something helpful rather using the phone I'd like to tell you that I have even started following this in my routine and would strive to make my day more productive as that of yours :) May Allah bless you. Love, Sharmeen
Love how soothing and positive your videos are. I would want to implement end of work day routine in my daily life to make sure I can be both productive at work and spend quality time with family during this pandemic. I am also excited to implement Eisenhower Matrix, to better organize my tasks. Thank you for this wonderful video, much needed during this time. :)
I'm now practicing the elimination of distractions , I'm a college student and my exams are approaching so I'm studying hard by reducing my distractions and studying during my peak productive hours , this video is really good i loved it , u are awesome sistah..😊🥰
hello, I really love how calming and organized you are, it was soo hard for me to stick to a proper schedule in a long day, I plan my day in a very clumsy manner no order nothing just write the stuff whatever comes to my mind!!!! I used to fall for every little distraction and finally feel useless every single night🤦♀️ and the next day the same things repeats.I completely gave up and just started wasting a lot of time... but u gave me the perfect motivation and nudge to start over..after watching this video I was able to analyze my mistakes❤... I will plan my day ahead and try to put everything organized and sequence manner so that I will have time to spend with family and also productive to me..thanks for helping me out..😊😊😍😍😘😘💕💕
I am an IT Professional and my job requires me to be available in US Timezone sometimes and during this lockdown I have stopped disconnecting from my work . Even when I am not needed in that timezone, I keep checking mails in my laptop and do some work which otherwise I might have done after going to office the next day, or logging in the next day. this has really become a bad habit and has changed my evening routine. I am definitely going to try disconnecting from work ritual by taking inputs from your video and make a physical ritual so that over the time , my brain is accustomed to that. Thanks for these lovely content. It really makes a difference to viewers like me.
Thanks for this video. I personally have been facing the problem of separating my work space and normal 'relaxing' space. I tend to sit in bed and work a lot these days. So I'm going to definitely try to separate those. 💜
Hey gurl...its so good to see you so balanced ..its blessing that you have overcome depression and now making difference in our lifes too...god bless keep growing gurl
I love your personal development videos.Your voice is so calm, watching your videos is like meditation for me. Do share these kind of work more and more.I would like to implement the end of work ritual, its really a nice idea. 😊
Thank you for doing this video. I've loved watching your videos. Three key takeway points that personally I can adpot are: have a physical work place that is distinct, do an activity that signals the end of the workday, and most importantly, get a planner to plan the days much more effectively. Once again, thank you for this lovely video! PS: Daily highlights and the matrix was very useful. I haven't thought about tasks in these categories.
I agree with the concept of sorting tasks according to the Eisenhower Matrix ....I kept my to-do list sometimes so long that I end up feeling disoriented by the end of the day.....this is a good suggestion to sort work
It’s a helpful video, I have been preparing my next day schedule a night before and leaving distraction aside has help me as well in being more productive and efficient. I will be focusing on making most of these points
I think what you explained about power hours makes a lot of sense to me. I recently finished my college and had been a "night owl" all my student life too but, currently i just feel so lethargic at nights and unproductive. All I do is scroll aimlessly on social media which leads to future more sleep issues and irritable mornings. I'll definitely try to find my peak productive hours and plan accordingly. Thank you so much. ❤️🌼
The tip about 'Time blocking' really clicked with me. I suck at multitasking but used to do it hoping that I'd get better eventually. It turns out, multitasking is not all that great afterall. I still didn't have much success at concentrating on only one task at a time since I started working from home. I've seen other videos that mentioned allocating different times for various tasks, I even made a plan in my journal but none of that seemed to really work. Seeing a pictorial representation of the time blocking technique really helped me understand the concept and how I can implement it in my day. Can't wait to implement that! Figuring out my peak productivity time is going to be a challenge though 😂 Thank you so much for the well planned and easy to understand video !!! Much love ♥️
Finding your peak productive hours, this is for sure i am going to try. I am definitely a night owl. Prioritizing the important work to the peak hour is really important.
I loved your suggestions on identifying peak active hours, as mostly when we sit down to work and we don't have energy but time, we tend to take longer to achieve the task which could have been done in lesser time! Also I am a firm practicioner of different spaces or zones for work and rest and was glad to see someone like you following the same! Loved your suggestion on the important v/s urgent matrix and I'm definitely going to incorporate that in my routine! Love you loads! 💛💛💛
I think the 3rd one is very much useful... Avoiding distractions especially mobile phones is very crucial step to be taken to concentrate on the work and get done with the work fast
I love this! This couldn't have come in at a better time! I have been working from home since March and even though I thought I will love it, being in the writing field and not being keen on human interactions much, however, the days do tend to blend together after the initial euphoria melts away! Recently my workforce went100% remote permanently, which means I will be home a lot! I am still trying to work out a routine which sticks to me and will be love to have a 5am morning routine at some point. I work best in the morning hours and like to get the most of the writing done before the world wakes up. I love your videos so much! Keep doing what you are doing!
I have been following you from last 4 years but this is my first comment well this is a therapy and a great solution for work from home and other issues am facing this days .
🥰 I love time blocks cuz I'm using it already. I'm not a workperson though but a medical student.. time blocks for different subjects really helping me out 😊
I loved the idea of "setting a daily highlight". It's the one factor that can decide the coury of your day. I used to do mediation earlier, slowly other things took priority and then I let it slide. This particular point had helped me understand that it was the highlight of my day which gave me that ultimate satisfaction and also it made my better. Thank you so much..!!
Thank you so much for this video! Its so motivating ! I want to select highlight for the day as u suggested and change that work zone of mine from bed.. As I am always in bed with my laptop. Looking forward to change the position after completing work considering it to be a sacred place for resting. Thanks alot for the video.
Wow.. Just wow.. You know during this quarantine, being productive almost got on trend.. I feel like it's not important to do 100 works and forget your peace of mind.. And take a pressure of it.. All you need is a purpose and work towards it..It's so liberating that you have made this video.. It's just so important for this time.. I love you for this.. You are amazing❤
Honestly I felt all the things mentioned in the video to be very useful and I want to take it one step at a time so I will start by doing planning the next day work on the previous day..... Love to have that planner😍
Thankyou so much for such an informative video. Being a student, my biggest bump to productivity is my phone. Keeping off the device in some other room, is what I am planning to do. Loads of love to you ❤️
Ankita I just loved the introduction to this video. Yes, every day may not be super productive but every day should be satisfying! I’d really love to try the “disconnect “ part. I’m a doctor and doing my post doctoral so every night I’d be in bed with my books or laptop or thesis work, so it’s like one work day merging into another. A physical disconnect would really help I believe! Thank you for this video!
This is something I was been struggling with! Like you said, it's been like living at work instead of working from home. Being said that, I am definitely going to make a physical ritual/routine that marks the end of work day. I feel this will really help me balance between my personal and professional life. Thank you for this video, this is really helpful! :)

I love your observation on managing energy vs managing time. That is something I as a recently turned 30 year old would keep in mind.

Putting away all the work related things and having a new mind / physical ritual that helps us to create or plan for next day

Hi Ankita..you are such an inspiration..
I m going to follow 1.Disconnect
2.Finding peak hours
3.priortising important and other stuffs
It feels so good to say that I follow most of these productive habits from years but the Eisenhower matrix is quite new to me, definately gonna give it a try! ✨
A much-needed video in times like these! I would be trying to create and end of work day physical ritual as I keep on working and there's not really much difference between work and leisurely time anymore.
Maybe this will help me unwind! ❤️
Writing down the tasks for the next day is something I really want to try out because that is something that will help me not waste time when I wake up.
The number one thing how to plan will be implemented, I'll be staying independently now and this video came to my rescue. Thank you 😊
Having a hectic work from home currently... Thank you for mentioning about the Eisenhower way of urgent and important work...It's so useful.. Also the time blocking as we can get the tasks done efficiently..I will be implementing both of this in my schedule...
You know what!
I followed you from very past it's not now but when I saw your videos related life relation at that I was also facing obstacle I was very low , I was blaming mahself & accepting all Elegation but now YESH I am observing ONLY myself & m feeling very better
A big THANKS to YOU😇
This is such a helpful video..! Not many youtubers talk about this subject. Everybody organizes their home, kitchen, wardrobe and everything, but our life and each day of life is such a mess🙆 which needs to be taken care of. Thank you for taking up this topic. I really appreciate the idea of changing location as we switch off from the work. Our post-work time should be well spent in the living room / balcony. 😊
Hi🙋🏻♀️ I am surely gonna eliminate distractions n cut on social media scrolling that really eats up my prime time
I really love the way you explain n speak
Hi Ankita! I'm going to try the end of day ritual, especially now that we are constricted within our homes. I struggle with turning off my working mind, and I really like the idea of doing something that officially signifies the end of the working day. So thank you for this tip! ❤️
This is clearly bone of my favourite videos of yours. The most important points for me is to - block time for important activities in the day and eliminating distractions
This video is really really helpful. Tactics i will incorporate would be :-
1. Keep my phone away while working to avoid distractions.
2. Plan my day in advance.
3. Identify my peak hours.
4. Identify a work zone in the house.
Thanks a lot Ankita ! :*
Such a wonderful video! Most people talk about staying away from distractions. What I liked that you suggested to schedule them rather than craving for them. Very thoughtful and needless to say I am going to get it into practice. Bless you
Hey Ankita. Being a doctor I got really no time for myself. But thanks to you. I really like the concept of planning the day ahead @ night. Thank you. Keep enlightening us with such useful videos. Cheers!
Really helpful video!
Time Blocking has helped me to draw the line between working from home and my personal time for other works , I allocate time for cooking & cleaning etc. This way I feel better organized and focused. I take one task at a time and try to complete till I am done with the other works also which are associated with the task. For example,
if I have alloted time for cooking, I would clean the utensils simultaneously so that all the kitchen related work gets completed during the same blocked time. Only then I move to another task. This makes me more focused.
Really helpful content in the current situation and quite different from the other ones!! I’m still finding it comfortable to focus at nighttime😁 “Managing enery level and Blocking time for specific tasks” are really required for me and I’m going to implement them immediately. Thank u!!
Amongst all of the tactics suggested by you, the one that has helped me be constructive was identifying my peak productive hours, along with time blocking. In another story of yours, the 'Pomodoro technique' suggested by you also really helped, cited as time blocking in this video.
It's very soothing to listen to you and watch your videos! Keep up with your positivity 😇🤗
Hi, it’s just so soothing to watch your videos❤️
The most important pointer that you made to me was the idea of creating “work zones”, most importantly not mixing up the sacred (recreation) space with the work space.
I looooove watching your lifestyle related videos along with make up tutorials because I feel as a human I will only look better on the outside if my lifestyle and mental health is well managed! I have already started planning my next day like you said, and I will also definitely use the Highlighting a task tactic, and separating my work time and personal time using a 'work end ritual' and changing my location !! Thank you so much for the amazing content! Much love
Thank you for the insights. It was just what I needed at this point. Your videos have a therapeutic vibe and I love watching them. I’d be implementing two things... firstly switch off work after work, and use the prioritisation technique based on urgency and importance. Thanks again for making this video, its a wonderful one.
This is such a helpful video. Planning my day ahead a night before and daily highlight is something I am going to try for my schedule. Thank you.
I loved your idea of choosing btwn urgent and important tasks ! We often mix up the two which results in stress
These points really help to live in a day rather than passing a day in life.. Planning a night before would help me much better than waking up with a messy head!!!
I love how you address your audience . Thank you for sharing such a amazing tips with us . I start planing my days now .
I will adopt most of things u told in the video bcz it will surely help me like planning at night,removing distractions and most important is identifying peak productive hours
Creating an end of the day work day routine is a superb idea!
How it did not strike me earlier i wonder!!! Thank you. I am sure this would work for me!!!!!
Thank you so much for this amazing video on how to organize the day..
I'm going to try all of these but what I found very special and interesting was setting one highlight, Eisenhower matrix and time blocking.. So definitely will try those..❤
I am a workaholic too! So learning to detach myself from the working hours would be great help. I tried it immediately after watching your video. Baby steps taken! thank you. I have shared it with a friend.
I really liked your idea of planning your next day work a night before so that unnecessary time is not wasted in thinking which work to do first, and even m a pen and paper person
"Have a separate physical space for work/rest"
Simple as it sounds, how important at the same time difficult to maintain this. This is my favourite and going to incorporate it ❤️
Thank you for your effort ! ❤️
I will be using the second tactic i.e. finding my peak hours . "" managing energy is more important than time "" well said !!
You are absolutely correct on all four points. In today's fast paced world where Social media has taken over our lives it is very important that we prioritise our work and set aside a fixed time to enjoy our social activities.
You have no idea how much this will help every one. Thank you for making this video. It has certainly intrigued my intellectual self.
Personally for me the time blocking factor was a real help. As a mother to a toddler I sieve in my work (I am an Academician) as per my toddlers sleep schedule. The challenge for me is that i feel so drained by all the running around at home that when my child is asleep I tend to sleep with him 😴.. Therefore time blocking will be of great help. Once again thank you for making this video.
I liked the idea of keeping a sign off routine. So when I get to that. I automatically relax, knowing that the day is over and feel accomplished.
I learnt from this video that for doing a fruitful work , elimination of distraction is necessary❤️
Having a specific place for a specific task is an impressive idea!😍
Thank you for this gentle yet powerful reality check...👍🏻
Iam going to follow these :
1.Planning before the day.
2.Removing the distractions mostly the social media and setting a time for it.
3.Going to set early mornings as my productive time.
4.Setting an activity which indicates,its end of my work time.
There is so much of positivity in this video and I'm sure this will help me alot.. when I feel down ,I just watch your videos, your voice is really soothing.
🥰
Lots of Love

As soon as your video notification comes the very first thing I do is to like the video first and then watch it. Your words are so sound and your way of talking is itself so soothing that it makes me realizes all the important things (which had slipped off my mind) which I had learnt from your earlier videos. The biggest reason of watching you is that you have become my inspiration and I love you as a person. I so want to become like u which I know that one day I'll become in shaa Allah.
Coming to the things which I liked about you is the thing again which I had learnt from your previous videos that is 1) Since we are energized and fresh in mornings so finish all those tasks which requires brains in morning itself 2) Utilize the time before sleeping in planning your next day and read something helpful rather using the phone
I'd like to tell you that I have even started following this in my routine and would strive to make my day more productive as that of yours :)
May Allah bless you.
Love,
Sharmeen
Thank you ankita for your response ❤
Love how soothing and positive your videos are. I would want to implement end of work day routine in my daily life to make sure I can be both productive at work and spend quality time with family during this pandemic. I am also excited to implement Eisenhower Matrix, to better organize my tasks. Thank you for this wonderful video, much needed during this time. :)
I'm now practicing the elimination of distractions , I'm a college student and my exams are approaching so I'm studying hard by reducing my distractions and studying during my peak productive hours , this video is really good i loved it , u are awesome sistah..😊🥰
hello, I really love how calming and organized you are, it was soo hard for me to stick to a proper schedule in a long day, I plan my day in a very clumsy manner no order nothing just write the stuff whatever comes to my mind!!!! I used to fall for every little distraction and finally feel useless every single night🤦♀️ and the next day the same things repeats.I completely gave up and just started wasting a lot of time... but u gave me the perfect motivation and nudge to start over..after watching this video I was able to analyze my mistakes❤... I will plan my day ahead and try to put everything organized and sequence manner so that I will have time to spend with family and also productive to me..thanks for helping me out..😊😊😍😍😘😘💕💕
I am an IT Professional and my job requires me to be available in US Timezone sometimes and during this lockdown I have stopped disconnecting from my work . Even when I am not needed in that timezone, I keep checking mails in my laptop and do some work which otherwise I might have done after going to office the next day, or logging in the next day. this has really become a bad habit and has changed my evening routine. I am definitely going to try disconnecting from work ritual by taking inputs from your video and make a physical ritual so that over the time , my brain is accustomed to that. Thanks for these lovely content. It really makes a difference to viewers like me.
Thanks for this video. I personally have been facing the problem of separating my work space and normal 'relaxing' space. I tend to sit in bed and work a lot these days. So I'm going to definitely try to separate those. 💜
Hey gurl...its so good to see you so balanced ..its blessing that you have overcome depression and now making difference in our lifes too...god bless keep growing gurl
I love your personal development videos.Your voice is so calm, watching your videos is like meditation for me. Do share these kind of work more and more.I would like to implement the end of work ritual, its really a nice idea. 😊
Thank you for doing this video. I've loved watching your videos. Three key takeway points that personally I can adpot are: have a physical work place that is distinct, do an activity that signals the end of the workday, and most importantly, get a planner to plan the days much more effectively. Once again, thank you for this lovely video!
PS: Daily highlights and the matrix was very useful. I haven't thought about tasks in these categories.
I agree with the concept of sorting tasks according to the Eisenhower Matrix ....I kept my to-do list sometimes so long that I end up feeling disoriented by the end of the day.....this is a good suggestion to sort work
It’s a helpful video, I have been preparing my next day schedule a night before and leaving distraction aside has help me as well in being more productive and efficient. I will be focusing on making most of these points
I think what you explained about power hours makes a lot of sense to me. I recently finished my college and had been a "night owl" all my student life too but, currently i just feel so lethargic at nights and unproductive. All I do is scroll aimlessly on social media which leads to future more sleep issues and irritable mornings. I'll definitely try to find my peak productive hours and plan accordingly. Thank you so much. ❤️🌼
Planning the highlight of the day
The tip about 'Time blocking' really clicked with me. I suck at multitasking but used to do it hoping that I'd get better eventually. It turns out, multitasking is not all that great afterall. I still didn't have much success at concentrating on only one task at a time since I started working from home. I've seen other videos that mentioned allocating different times for various tasks, I even made a plan in my journal but none of that seemed to really work.
Seeing a pictorial representation of the time blocking technique really helped me understand the concept and how I can implement it in my day. Can't wait to implement that! Figuring out my peak productivity time is going to be a challenge though 😂
Thank you so much for the well planned and easy to understand video !!! Much love ♥️
Planning the next day before going to bed is the best tactics... Will definitely try this out
Finding your peak productive hours, this is for sure i am going to try. I am definitely a night owl. Prioritizing the important work to the peak hour is really important.
I loved your suggestions on identifying peak active hours, as mostly when we sit down to work and we don't have energy but time, we tend to take longer to achieve the task which could have been done in lesser time!
Also I am a firm practicioner of different spaces or zones for work and rest and was glad to see someone like you following the same!
Loved your suggestion on the important v/s urgent matrix and I'm definitely going to incorporate that in my routine!
Love you loads! 💛💛💛
I think the 3rd one is very much useful... Avoiding distractions especially mobile phones is very crucial step to be taken to concentrate on the work and get done with the work fast
I love this! This couldn't have come in at a better time! I have been working from home since March and even though I thought I will love it, being in the writing field and not being keen on human interactions much, however, the days do tend to blend together after the initial euphoria melts away! Recently my workforce went100% remote permanently, which means I will be home a lot! I am still trying to work out a routine which sticks to me and will be love to have a 5am morning routine at some point. I work best in the morning hours and like to get the most of the writing done before the world wakes up. I love your videos so much! Keep doing what you are doing!
I have been following you from last 4 years but this is my first comment well this is a therapy and a great solution for work from home and other issues am facing this days .
🥰 I love time blocks cuz I'm using it already. I'm not a workperson though but a medical student.. time blocks for different subjects really helping me out 😊
I loved the idea of "setting a daily highlight". It's the one factor that can decide the coury of your day. I used to do mediation earlier, slowly other things took priority and then I let it slide. This particular point had helped me understand that it was the highlight of my day which gave me that ultimate satisfaction and also it made my better.
Thank you so much..!!
The content of your videos and on top of that your voice are pure therapy...❤️
Thank you so much for this video! Its so motivating ! I want to select highlight for the day as u suggested and change that work zone of mine from bed.. As I am always in bed with my laptop. Looking forward to change the position after completing work considering it to be a sacred place for resting. Thanks alot for the video.
There’s so many things which I wants to try but I’ll surely know my most productive hours and plan my day a night ahead❤️
Wow.. Just wow.. You know during this quarantine, being productive almost got on trend.. I feel like it's not important to do 100 works and forget your peace of mind.. And take a pressure of it.. All you need is a purpose and work towards it..It's so liberating that you have made this video.. It's just so important for this time.. I love you for this.. You are amazing❤
Honestly I felt all the things mentioned in the video to be very useful and I want to take it one step at a time so I will start by doing planning the next day work on the previous day..... Love to have that planner😍
Thankyou so much for such an informative video.
Being a student, my biggest bump to productivity is my phone.
Keeping off the device in some other room, is what I am planning to do.
Loads of love to you ❤️
Ankita I just loved the introduction to this video. Yes, every day may not be super productive but every day should be satisfying! I’d really love to try the “disconnect “ part. I’m a doctor and doing my post doctoral so every night I’d be in bed with my books or laptop or thesis work, so it’s like one work day merging into another. A physical disconnect would really help I believe! Thank you for this video!
This is something I was been struggling with! Like you said, it's been like living at work instead of working from home. Being said that, I am definitely going to make a physical ritual/routine that marks the end of work day. I feel this will really help me balance between my personal and professional life.
Thank you for this video, this is really helpful! :)
