Today, I finally did EVERYTHING I’ve been procrastinating

Both brains have a rational decision maker in them, but the procrastinator's brain also has an instant gratification monkey. Now, what does this mean for the procrastinator? Well, it means everything's fine until this happens. Well, good day everyone. Today is the day that I decided that I was going to get everything done that I needed to get done. So the night before, I just wrote a long list of things that I needed to do in all different types of categories and basically just getting ready. I am wearing my workout clothes because recently I joined a Pilates membership and it has been life-changing because I am obsessed with Pilates. It's not even funny. And I also feel like health is something that we all tend to procrastinate even though it's so high on our priority list, at least for me. I finally decided to join a membership that would kind of force me to sign up for class and go early in the morning. So here I am. It was kind of awkward to film the class, so here's this lovely shot of me putting my shoes in the cubby. But Pilates has been helping me to just strengthen and lengthen my body and I look forward to every class because every class is so different. And afterwards, I went home and filled up a glass of water and squeezed half of a lemon juice. And then I went to the bathroom and started getting ready by putting on my makeup. This always helps me to just kind of get in the zone of doing things. Then I washed my hands. This is stuff I do on a daily basis, but I'm just showing you guys I guess my entire day in the life of me being productive. I also just wanted to show you what I was wearing this day because this is a typical workday outfit where I want to be put together but still be comfortable. Both my top and pants are from Reformation and I could just do everything in this outfit. Making my bed is another thing I like to do kind of like as a warm-up before I start getting ready to do what I gotta do. I also checked the crevice between the bed and the wall and I found this old Polaroid that fell from the wall and this dryer sheet that I guess fell out from the laundry. I need to throw this away and also re-hang up this Polaroid picture. So I don't know if there's any better way to do this but I just take some double-sided tape and I put that on the edge of the Polaroid and then just kind of press that onto the wall but it tends to fall down so if you know any better method then please let me know. And I just want to thank Careof for being today's video sponsor. If you didn't know Careof provides personalized vitamin packs according to your health goals. I leave mine in the bathroom because it's a place where I'll see it often and it's also really convenient to take on the go if you're in a rush. I've always been overwhelmed with knowing which vitamins and supplements to take for my body so I procrastinated taking them but Careof makes the process super simple. If you go on their website you can take a short quiz that asks you about your diet, lifestyle, and health priorities. So for me I'm taking rhodiola for my energy levels and the glow trio for my hair, skin, and nails along with several other ones that were recommended to me. I've also been kind of addicted to this chocolate plant-based protein powder. Whenever I'm craving chocolate now this is kind of my go-to. All you have to do is mix two scoops with a cup of water. I tried doing this with soy milk before and even though that was really good it was a bit too thick and filling for me so I just like to mix it with water and ice. So that is all I've been using from Careof and if you would like to get 50% off your first month just go to takecareof.com and use the code KRISTIU or click the link in the description below. And now that I'm actually working out with Pilates and using my muscles this is really good for me because it'll help with muscle growth and muscle recovery. And look at this chocolate shake! It is like 1am as I'm recording this voiceover and I'm craving this like right now. Okay now to just kind of slow things down a little bit because my morning has been kind of on the go. I am putting on a record and I seriously should be doing this more often because I was having such a blast. I kind of just wanted to go straight into everything on my to-do list and get down to business but I realized that I need to take a moment to breathe and reflect on my life. I really wanted to spend some time in the word so I took out my bible and my journal and got my shake that I'm drinking. To be honest I was feeling quite overwhelmed with everything that I needed to do for the day and having to film everything that I was doing on top of that. So it felt really good to just surrender this need to check everything off the to-do list because first of all that's impossible. There are still so many more things that I need to get done even after everything I did on this day. Even still as I was reflecting I realized that I just wanted to enjoy even doing errands, even doing my work. I realized that I'm truly blessed to be able to do what I do. I felt energized and motivated after this and I just put everything away and actually got ready to work. First things first I needed to clear my desk to have a good working environment. I had some mail that I need to go through, the socks that I needed to open. So I just kind of got that out of the way before I even began. This is the part of the video that I dreaded. As you can see finances is I guess the number one thing that I like to put to the side and hope that it'll just disappear if I avoid it long enough but nope it's always gonna be there and I'm always gonna have to take care of it. So I figured that you know what I just need to sit down and make this fun you know just try and do my best to at least educate myself so that I could approach it in a way that it's not so confusing and new to me. So you know I've been reading my books. This is a book that I got gifted for my birthday actually. This other one Rich Dad Poor Dad. I am just reading what I can and taking everything with a grain of salt. I also downloaded this book off of audible. You are a bad butt at making money. That is something that I want to believe. I want to have confidence when it comes to money because I don't know why it's just not my forte. I don't know how to handle all of the files and the forms and yeah I think I'm just being a little bit dramatic but I think I got this. I think I'm paying my bills right now. Oh my goodness bless me. I think I'm actually allergic to adulting. I'm just joking. I'm doing what I can. It's not as bad as it looks. I have a file of all the things of all the papers to go through. It was just a lot of confusing things. I didn't even realize that I was making such confused weird facial expressions throughout this whole clip but yep that's what I did for the next several hours. I was just on my computer. I was responding to emails. I also decided to finally update my phone and that also prevented me from using my phone for the next half hour. Yeah I really don't even know what to say for this part you guys. I am doing my best to learn new things every single day and I think that's the most frustrating part about starting things is the starting part of not knowing how to do something in the beginning but hey my phone is updated. So yeah you may be wondering what I'm even doing on my computer but basically I was figuring shiz out. I was responding to texts. I had to make several business calls to take care of some stupid things that happened and I was put on hold for a long while which is as you can see not really one of my favorite things to do. This is one of the things that I've seriously been procrastinating for so long but I finally did it. I'm so so proud of myself for this. I don't know why. This is just one of those things I need to just suck it up and get comfortable doing but progressively I started to get happier once I realized that I was finally done with this task. Look at me. I'm so proud. Then I finally had my little lunch break. I made myself some avocado toast on top of sourdough bread squeezing my lemon which is the other half of the lemon that I used from my lemon water earlier that day. Also this song Old Town Road has been stuck in my head for days. Somebody send help. I need this out of my head but it is really catchy and kind of funny actually. But anyway back to business. This time I'm getting ready to clean my room. Most of my room as you can see looks pretty decently clean except this corner where I tend to pile all of my packages, things to recycle and take downstairs and just put in other places that's not under the couch. I also tend to stuff things in this area of my office closet along with this area of my bedroom closet. Still haven't gotten around to organizing this so that is still on my to-do list but I started off by putting everything away where it belonged. Then I took my handy dandy Swiffer and started sweeping, sweeping, sweeping the floors of my office room and also of my bedroom. After cleaning the floors it was time to wipe the surfaces starting with my desk. I don't know how things get dirty even though I try to clean them frequently every week but cleaning is something that I actually find to be therapeutic. I don't procrastinate cleaning as bad as I do with finances so that's why it's lower on the priority list but yeah I just really try to enjoy my time cleaning. It's really satisfying to see something go from messy to put together and like I said it doesn't really look that bad just from far away but close up I collected a lot of dirt and grime and dust on these towels. Also really am trying to look for a reusable washcloth and with my bathroom I just put everything away. Usually I get lazy to put everything away and I just kind of work my way around everything but this time I decided that I just need to just do it and so going through every nook and cranny of this bathroom countertop and cleaning the sink, cleaning every little product and yeah look at me being such a productive human being here. I even decided to clean my toilet which is something that I kind of forget to do sometimes and I finally added a new roll of toilet paper. Yes. And then I went back to vacuum my rugs. I decided that one of my dream sponsorships is working with Dyson because one of the main reasons why I get lazy to vacuum is because I had to carry this guy from the downstairs storage room but yeah I'm also wiping down my mirrors. I found some extra dirt and grime from behind the mirror that I forget to clean and I lint rolled my pillow and also the bed because dust gets on there too and the pillows as well. I also went above and beyond and finally decided to clean my makeup brushes. I don't think I've done this since the beginning of the year I think so this was really satisfying. I'm just using this makeup cleansing scrubby thing. I actually got this from Oak and Fort but I'm pretty sure you could just get this off of Amazon and then I just left it on the towel to dry and then I headed over to the closet and decided to clean this area which tends to just get piled with clothes. I decided to fold some put some away on the hangers and also dump some into the laundry baskets. Now I'm finally going out and about to run some errands. I had some of this stuff from videos to return and I didn't know this but you could just head on over to Kohl's and drop everything off that you want to return from Amazon and they label and package and ship it off for you so that's really convenient and I also needed to fill up gas so I went ahead and I did that. I also need to throw some things away. I peeled my nail polish in the cup holder um and then long story short I had dinner and knocked out to some YouTube videos and it was hours later and I realized that I still needed to take care of some etc things which required me to film and edit a video that I have been seriously just delaying for so long because I didn't know how I felt about this video. I thought that it wouldn't really work out but fortunately I found a way to make it work and I got re-excited about this video and I stayed up till 3am to finish it and here I am staying up till 3am to finish this exact video but I hope you guys really enjoyed following along with me and probably the boringest vlog ever or you could say the most productive vlog. I don't know but let me know if you want to see more day in the life videos from me. I love you guys and I'll see you soon. Bye!
