OFFICE VLOG: Day in the office, life updates + favourite office lunch

Good morning, it's Tuesday, I'm trying to film a YouTube video today, which I'm finding quite difficult because I really love watching those really long YouTube videos and I'm very Used to creating short-form content, so I'm trying to figure out how to expand this into a full version. day vlog long enough, but the plan for today is to do a bit of work here, head into the office I don't have any meetings outside the office today, so I'm going to do a spin class afterward. Work in the office. I'm going to use that instead of going to a class. My goal is to have a very quiet night, but I might end up having to do a bit more work. Just because the rest of this week is very busy. I'm going to go and drink this, then start planning my day. I talk about planning my day quite a lot in my TikTok videos, so I thought I would give a bit more detail about exactly what I do, and I love doing this just because It makes me feel organized and ready for the day. I don't start the day feeling overwhelmed by everything I have to do. Basically, what I do is keep a running to-do list on my computer. I use Notion for pretty much all of my planning on my computer. Once I've updated my Notion to-do list every morning, I like to then use the Productivity The 8-minute planner method, and I will fill in all the spaces in this planner. I haven't done it yet this morning, but essentially the parts I like to use are time blocking. I also fill in the quick tips, projects, and tasks. It definitely helps with prioritization when you have a really long to-do list. I only really started using this time blocking method this year, and it's definitely been helping. I'm going to finish filling this out, finish my coffee, and then I'm going to go get ready for the office. I've pretty much finished adding everything I think I can get done today, and then I'm going to Go and add it to my schedule. Also, one last note—these road eye patches are amazing. I haven't really been into the road trip excitement, but when they sent me these, I feel like I've Definitely been converted. I've done my makeup for the day; now I need to go put on an outfit. I do plan my outfits in advance, just so I don't have to stress about them in the mornings. I'm going to wear my rose blazer today with this shirt, and then I think I'm going to Wear it with my cropped trousers and boots. I'm going to see how I look in it. I think I'm going to wear this with my boots, and I'm going to need a pair of sunglasses. Because it's very sunny. Just quickly before I head to the office, I thought I'd give you a quick life update. A couple of weeks ago, I left the job that I have been in for the last three years to pursue a new business opportunity. It's a bit of a risk to leave a very stable corporate job, especially in the current climate. and going on to start your own business. It has always been my goal to try and start a business. I figured that if I didn't do it now, it would only ever get harder to leave a good job. But that's why my office looks slightly different from the one I usually film my TikTok videos in. My team and I are all still based in London, so I will be commuting in, and I'm really quite enjoying commuting in. Technically, I have changed jobs, but I will still be filming my weeks in the office. And now I have much more freedom to talk about my previous roles in my career and what I'm doing. Currently doing this, which I definitely wasn't able to do when I was working for a large company. Having said all that, it's taking much longer than I hoped or expected to get this new business off the ground. I've been working on it for over a year now. I think I used to include clips in my TikTok videos of me working late after the office. At home, and that was what I was working on. But I'm really excited to share this new chapter of my career with you. And my goal is to film a lot more videos about careers, transferable skills, goal setting, all those kinds of things that I didn't really have the freedom to talk about about when I was in my corporate job. I'll be making videos like that across all platforms, but this week on Instagram, I'm going to try and set up a Q&A section so you can ask any questions you might have. I need to get going now and head into the office. This is the final office outfit for today. I'm about to go and get on the tube and head to the office. I've just finished all the work calls I had to do this morning. The weather outside is so nice. It feels like it's the first time we've seen the sun all winter. So I'm going to go and walk to lunch. It's a good excuse to go to the salad bar to get my favorite salad, which is the goat cheese one. That's what I'm going to go and do now. And then I'm going to get back to work. I have to get back to work. I've just arrived at the gym. I'm going to do a quick Peloton workout, then go home and finish some work there. I just got home. It's about half past six. I have about two more hours' worth of work to do tonight. So I'm going to get started on that now. I'll chat with you when I'm about to make dinner. It's almost eight o'clock and I'm absolutely starving. I'm going to heat up some leftover spaghetti Bolognese that I made over the weekend, which I have in this pot here. What I need to do is boil the kettle and put some pasta on. This is my favorite gluten-free pasta that I've been using. It takes about 15 minutes to cook. So I'm going to put this on, then take a shower, remove my makeup, and eat this while watching TV. I have to be really quick because my dinner is almost ready. I'm just using this glycolic acid to remove any leftover makeup from my skin. I get breakouts around here, especially around that time of the month. So I like to make sure I exfoliate it properly. I've also recently started using a vitamin C serum. I got a facial scan during one of the facials I've had, and they said I should start using one to help with any sun damage. I've been using the Dr. Althea one, which is nice and light. Another Dr. Althea product I've been loving is the PDRN Reju. I just put a tiny bit of this on. I was planning to put on a face mask later before I go to bed. So I'll probably leave it there for now and then put on my face mask once I've had my dinner, because otherwise I won't be able to eat my dinner. That was a record time. I'm going to go and finish making dinner. I'm just heating up the pasta with the spaghetti Bolognese. This time I made it with turkey mince so it's a little lighter, but it tastes just as good. I was going to put on a face mask tonight, but I don't think I can be bothered. So I'm just going to apply some more barrier cream. Brush my teeth and go to bed. Thank you for watching my first YouTube video. I hope you enjoyed it. Let me know if there are any other videos you'd like me to make. That's all. Goodbye.
