    If you’re feeling unmotivated or you just don’t feel like doing anything, I hope this storytime video of my grad school experience helps motivate you :) ~
    If you enjoyed our time together, if you could please help me by:
    1. Subscribing if you haven’t already 🥹
    2. Smashing the like button on this video 👍
    3. Watching the video all the way through
    That would mean sooo much to me! Thank you for being here :)

      The irony is that with all of the existent technology we should have more free time yet we find ways to be constantly busy instead of slowing down.

  • @keylarenee31
    @keylarenee31 2 ปีที่แล้ว +60

    Wow love what you said at the end about rest! The sermon at church this week was about how we get so caught up in our busyness that we forget God commands us to rest. Our value/worth doesn’t come from how productive we are or what we do, but in who we are in Christ!💜

    I wish I could do more but my work and commute takes up 14 hours of my day and I’m so exhausted for anything else. And I feel overworked and underpaid. I don’t even get 8 hours of sleep because I have to get up at 4 AM to catch a 5:45 train and sleeping at 8 PM is difficult with all the things I’ve to do. I am honestly confused about what to do.🙁

  • @infiniteblueskies7174

    When you said at the end to use my time wisely, it motivated me to delete prime video app off my phone cause I like to watch shows a lot.
    I can barely handle my part time minimum wage job, but it is cool to see what I could potentially accomplish if I made certain changes/sacrifices and had the drive.
    Thanks for another inspiring video Maya.

    Hi Maya. You picked jobs that all had their own interesting things. I had to save up a long time for the period of time when I student taught. Actually, looking back a lot of what I found tough was the expectation to dress professionally (costs involved) and put in over 110 hours of the expected training/volunteering. It was no joke! On average it took me over two years to save just for that part of school requirements.

    I saw the title and was, like, nope. Not for me. Don’t want this life. But I do have a variety of occasional side gigs. My favorite is pet sitting because it doesn’t interfere with my mostly remote day job. Why not earn two incomes at once? Lol. Someday, I’d like to have just one job. What a luxury. My time management sucks, despite being a really organized person. Ironic!

    It surprised me you made 40 to 50 a day for housesitting! I house sit all the time and I feel like I charge really high at 30 to 35 dollars a day. I am a doggie daycare supervisor so I feel like that makes me extra qualified to house sit, making me mark up my prices to 35 a day. Is that still low?

I have always worked 3-5 jobs to make ends meet, including being a full time special education teacher for the past 17 years. How do you relax?

    Feeling the need of constantly doing something was a sign of anxiety in my case, after my psychologist told me that I suffer from anxiety somehow I stopped feeling guilty, however, I'm still doing something, even working with something in the background and it's exhausting. Yoga helps me a lot because at least 4 times a week I disconnect from the world for an hour.
