MY MOST PRODUCTIVE WEEK EVER.

Happy Sunday friend! Today is the last day of my new year social media cleanse and WOW I have so many thoughts.

  1. If you’ve never taken the time to get off social media for an extended period of time DO IT

  2. A part of me would like to extend this detox and take the whole month off lol

  3. But another (BIGGER) part of me misses connecting with my community on a regular basis and Instagram is my favorite way to do that

  4. OMG I’ve been so much more focused and productive…

  5. Boundaries and limits on your app usage are HUGE

While social media is a massive part of my life and business, I have noticed (and maybe you have too) that I get sucked in so easily and fall down the rabbit hole which totally disrupts the flow of my day.

So taking this break to majorly focus on my goals, plans and work for 2022 was truly transformative. And now, I’m going to try and figure out how to set boundaries so that I can have a healthy balance of using social for work and for fun, but also get my sh*t done lol.

When I figure out that hack, I’ll let you know haha.

The other thing that has been truly game changing for my daily productivity has been dialing up my morning routine. I'm almost finished reading The Miracle Morning and the tips in this book are HUGE for anyone who’s looking to uplevel any aspect of their life & get more out of their day (even if you’re not a morning person).

I’ve been waking up at 6 a.m. (no snoozing), meditating with my Peloton app, journaling, working out and reading just 10 pages of whatever book I’m reading every morning and at the end of this week, no lie I’ve never felt more productive.

My days feel focused, my to-do list gets checked off and I have so much more clarity and energy. If any of that sounds like something you’d want - READ THIS BOOK.

CURRENTLY OBSESSING OVER

  1. BOOK OF THE WEEK: I’m holding strong with my intention to read/listen to one book a week in 2022. Here’s what I’ve been reading:

    1. THE MIRACLE MORNING: This past week I’ve been more productive than I’ve been in quite some time and the only thing that I’ve been doing differently is waking up at 6 a.m. (not touching the snooze button) and practicing some of the super simple techniques detailed in this game changing book. It was recommended to me by my gal Glo Atanmo and it’s for anyone who wants to get more out of their days & achieve their biggest goals (yes, even people who hate mornings…)

  2. RECHARGEABLE LIGHTER - These eco-friendly lighters are designed to last forever, and perfectly suited for candle-lit nights, barbecues, campfires, and more.

  3. STATEMENT SANDALS - I’m headed somewhere warm at the end of the month and I think something sparkly or fluffy will add a little spring in my step. I’ve linked some of the ones I’ve got my eyes on below.

    1. FLUFFY JEFFREY CAMPBELL SLIDES (I got the pink, duh)

    2. THE PERFECT COLORFUL TRAVEL SANDAL

    3. GOLDEN MULE

    4. STAPLE SPLURGE

    5. BOHO SLIDES

HAPPY ENDING

I’m glad I’m not the only one who goes to Target needing paperclips and leaves Target spending $234 dollars haha.
