🫠 Burnt Out, Stuck, Overwhelmed? Here's *Everything* I Did to Create Motivation & Get Things Done

Unmotivated, burnt out, overwhelmed... this was just one of those days. So, I decided to pick up the camera and vlog, step by step, what I did to turn it around and make it a productive day. Perhaps motivation isn't something we find... it's something we create. So, let’s do it.

    I love your very small note about not making your hobbies into a job because I'm also a huge advocate for that! In a world that is obsessed with hustle culture, enjoying things just to enjoy them is absolutely an act of resistance (and also an act of self-care!) Its bonkers how often people tell each other to make their hobbies into a side job, we are allowed to just have fun!!

    Thank you so much for making this video ❤ I was feeling the exact same with burn out and no motivation. I get so overwhelmed with all the tasks I want/need to do that I often just freeze up and avoid doing them completely. I finally made myself learn Notion thanks to you and your templates. I feel so much better now that my tasks are well organized. Tackling my list won’t be so bad now! 😊 Super grateful for you and all you do!

    Thank you for sharing this, I've been burnt out from trying to tie loose ends at work 2 months prior to my long awaited family trip, and unfortunately developed a fever on the very same day I was supposed to fly. That meant missing out the very trip that I had been preparing for. I was really upset. Even while taking a week's break to recover, I was very down, burnt out, unmotivated, overwhelmed, beating myself up for falling sick. After I have gotten better, I picked up my hobbies again with the remaining time I had with my leaves. I started spiralling down into the same rabbit hole of "how do I make my hobby a hustle?" because I felt like I have wasted a week just trying to nurse my health back, I could finally recognised that that was toxic self thoughts. It made me feel crippled to even start on my own hobbies. Thank you for reminding me that we don't always have to turn a hobby into a job, the whole point about pastimes are to help relax ourselves, slow down and be in tuned with what sparks joy within ourselves.

    First of all...CUTE TENNIS SKIRT. Secondly, shedding light on this topic is MUCH appreciated. I've been feeling unmotivated all week and this just gave me such a boost! Your perspective is always so refreshing. Lastly, Fourth Wing is one of my favorite reads of the year!! Could not put it down. (Unpopular opinion: I liked it better than ACOTAR). Can't wait to hear what you have to say about it.

    Hi Jules! Great video, very helpful and inspiring. Do you have an amount of hours that you aspire to work every week? Working as a freelancer I've been going back and forth between working too much and too little, so I wondered what's your take on weekly working hours since you seem to have a great work-life balance. Greetings!

    I'm in the process of starting my own design business and I'll need to create a block schedule to really get that work life balance (2 kids under 3 and need to reconnect with hubby) both working from home and cafes etc. I've seen a couple of your videos on this like google calender ones and potato days. But I'd love to hear your suggestions one which videos you recommend. And or more content on this in future. Even like how you took a lunch break and set timers I have a habit of either working through or getting super distracted by my house

    Hi Jules! I just found you and loved this video. Also fell in love with your house, we have very similar decor taste. And loved that from some of your videos that I just watched you seem to have great housekeeping routines and systems in place. I wanted to ask you: 1) Do you guys use a house cleaning service? My husband and I have been struggling to keep the house up to my standards of cleanliness 😆 since we're both very busy and I can see that you are too, so I'm wondering: Is it possible or is outsourcing the answer? 2) Do you just use baking soda and vinegar as laundry detergent? I hope you can answer, I'd love to know your opinions 🫶🏻 - Sam
