Hey y'all, Alon here.
Welcome back to my channel.
And if you're new here, welcome, my name is Alon.
So today we're going to do like a spin my 5 to 9 after my 9 to 5.
It's really like spin my 4 to 9 or 10 after my 8 to 4, but like I just feel like that
doesn't really flow well.
So 5 to 9 from 9 to 5 is real cute.
So if you don't know, I work two jobs, so I'm really busy.
And so the days that I do have off during the week, I really try to like make sure I
do a lot of the things that I just need to do because on the weekends I'm pretty much
working all weekend.
And so today is just going to be one of those days.
We have a lot on the agenda today.
We're going to change the linen, put up some clothes.
I really would love to organize my closet.
I don't know if I have time to do that.
I need to go and clean the kitchen as well.
I'm going to just wash the dishes.
I need to go study and then I'm going to come back home and just read and wind down.
This is really going to be like a productive vlog though, like we really have to get some
stuff done because I do have today off.
Today is Tuesday and then work tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday.
I have my MS appointment.
If you don't know, I have multiple sclerosis and I get infusions.
I only get like two infusions a year, but I just feel like once I'm done with my infusion
on Thursday, I'm not going to have much energy.
I'm probably just going to want to sleep all day.
And so I just want to make sure my apartment is really clean and just comfortable.
So like when I come home, I can just shower and get in bed.
I knew earlier, like over the weekend that I had Tuesday off, so I knew that today was
going to be my cleaning day.
So like I have a lot of clothes that are just sitting on my bed waiting for me to put up
because I just knew that come Tuesday was going to knock it out.
I know you're probably like, okay, girl, what are you studying for?
You never mentioned you studying for nothing and now all of a sudden you studying.
Yes, I am studying to get a certification for security plus.
With the role that I'm in currently, I didn't have to have any tech experience.
You just more so needed like customer service experience.
And then from there, we kind of like learn technical things.
And the expectation is that we will continue to learn technical things.
I'm just picking up something.
I'm just picking up a skill, picking up something that I feel like in the long run, it's only
going to help me.
I'm not necessarily looking for a job at this very moment, but I know having a certification
under my belt will be helpful alongside with the job that I have, which would be like my
experience.
So like, that's what we're working with and like, if we're being honest, it's really not
that bad.
Like, it's just like eight pieces of clothes.
Now my closet, I'm going to show y'all though, cause we besties and this is a safe space
and we're going to get it cleaned, but yeah, this is my closet right now.
I just have shit everywhere and I'm not very proud of this, but like it is just stuff everywhere.
I'm about to go ahead and get started with the laundry.
As you can tell, I finished making up my bed.
I just put on some new linen and now I have added all of my clothes that need to be put
up.
I just kind of dumped them on my bed and we're about to start doing that.
I'm not very excited for this part of cleaning up, but I know it needs to get done.
I hate putting up clothes, like me and putting up clothes.
That is just not something that I enjoy.
I'm so glad I got some new hangers because I ran out and I only like a specific kind.
I like the gray hangers from Target and it's not the velvet ones, it's just the plain gray
hangers.
That's all I like.
Sometimes I'll do white, but I prefer the gray ones.
I really am not in the mood to organize my closet if we're being 100% honest.
I am going to straighten it up of course, but like in terms of like reorganizing this
whole thing, that's just not going to happen.
It's just not.
So let's go ahead and at least put up the clothes.
Alright y'all, so we are making some progress.
Closet is looking a lot better, not a lot going on.
Majority of the clothes are put up and yeah, it just looks a lot more better.
A lot more better, seriously.
It looks a lot better in here is what I'm trying to say, but what I'm thinking is that
like some of these jeans that are under here, I think that I should just go ahead and take
them down and put them under here.
That way they're hanging and it just doesn't look as cluttered.
And I think that'll be the last thing I do in here.
And then after that, we're going to go and clean up the kitchen and then we're going
to be going.
I feel like we're being really, really, really productive today and that's what I wanted
to do.
Y'all know when you're having two jobs, productivity is key.
And I really want to leave here on 615-ish, 630.
So we're doing good on time.
I don't really think that that's going to take me a long time to get a few of those
pair of jeans, pull them out, put them on hangers, put them back up.
Comment down below, what is a good hack for productivity?
How do you make sure you're being productive?
Do you follow a schedule every day?
Do you just plan out your day mentally?
That's kind of like what I do, but I guess I'm trying to figure out other things that
could be more effective.
So I just need some order, like we getting some order up in this apartment.
I need some order up in my life.
It is time to head out the door.
So I'm about to just pack a quick bag so that I can go to this cafe and just study for a
little bit.
All I'm bringing is just my book that I've been studying from and then just a notebook
that I've been taking notes from.
We're doing okay with time.
This is about the time I wanted to either be leaving or get to the cafe, so I think
we're doing good.
I have like an hour and like 20 minutes or so, maybe an hour and 15 minutes or so to
study.
And I think that's a good little amount of time.
So yeah, let's go ahead and go out the door.
And I just wanted to show you my outfit too because it's so cute.
I got this like cardigan.
It's like a three-piece set, but it's like a cardigan.
It comes with this like long sleeve shirt and then these leggings.
And then I'm also just wearing some long socks along with some New Balance.
Okay, y'all, so I'm back home.
As you can tell, I stayed at the coffee shop for about an hour or so, I would say.
I didn't stay really long.
Could have stayed a little bit longer, but I just don't like being at places when they're
about to close because I know how it feels to like work somewhere and like you still
have people there at like the second y'all close.
I just think it's a little inconsiderate.
So I left a little bit early and I pretty much left at a really good stopping point.
So I've pretty much finished one chapter.
I think where I'm having an issue with right now is just figuring out like the best way
to study for this because it's a lot of information and I haven't been to school in a really long
time.
So like in my brain, like I feel like the best way to study for this is to just write
it down and reread it, reread it, and then look at the notes that I wrote down.
But like I'm realizing off of this first chapter, it's already a lot.
So I don't know.
Like I asked chatGBT, that's like my boyfriend, but I asked chatGBT and they were basically
saying like to do flashcards, write it down.
So I don't know.
We'll see.
I think what I'm going to start doing as well is watch like the videos that they have online
to go along with the trainings.
It's not like from security plus themselves, but it's like a basically people basically
teach the material that's in the book and it's literally the same thing.
So I might just start doing that during the day until it makes sense.
I'm just about to go ahead and shower and put on some pajamas and I'm going to read.
Right now I'm reading The Housemaid by Freda McFadden and I know I'm late.
I know.
I know I'm late.
Um, but I really just wanted to read it when I know I didn't have anything to read.
So as you can tell, I am showered and I am sitting on the couch and it's time to read.
And I'm on page 40.
I'm going to try to read for at least till about 10 o'clock and I'm hoping I can get
to like page 80.
Y'all know I'm a slow reader.
So that's like a little bit over an hour.
I should be able to do 40 pages in an hour.
Like I read slow, but not that slow.
Got to page 59.
My mom actually ended up calling me and we talked for a little bit and um, yeah, so that's
pretty much it.
I guess I didn't make it too far.
I read like what, 19, 20 pages.
I'm going to go ahead and go to bed.
I do want to thank you all for watching this video.
Um, I really did enjoy doing this.
Like I spend the evening with me and I would like to do more vlogs like this.
Like especially if I know that I'm doing something after work or you know, whatever the case
may be.
I do want to do more things like this.
I know for sure next vlog is going to be my multiple sclerosis diagnosis story as well
as like coming me to get infusions, but thank you all for watching this video.
Comment, like, and subscribe and I will see y'all next time.
Bye!
