    I 100% relate to so many things. I’m on sort of a gap year myself, and I totally feel how the lack of structure makes you even more likely to get in a slump. Also totally get the rushing videos and perfectionism bit. For me, what has helped is ironically planning less and doing more. Deciding: okay I’m going to do X every day for 1 month, and sticking to it, no matter how small it is (eg language learning for at least 15min). Whilst scheduling in compulsory things like classes that get me out of the house haha. You got it Anna!! 💪🏻

    Sometimes i feel like over-planning can stop you from getting started because you said you struggled with perfectionism, i was stuck in the same phase were i would plan every single thing and just never start because i wanted things to be perfect from the get go. I deleted notion for that reason and decided I would stop planning, trust the process and simply start living in the moment taking one day at a time and doing things that would keep me happy and also allow me to step out of my comfort zone from time to time. I bought a new journal and wrote down how i felt at the end of each day, what i did or did not do, how i felt that day, just dump anything that was on my mind and just kept things moving. I feel like some people are really cool they just don’t plan at all, they get an idea or something they wanna try out and they just go ahead and do it. if they don’t like it anymore they switch it up. Feels so easy to live that way sometimes. Although planning is not a bad thing to do. Just another perspective that living spontaneously and in the moment makes me feel more happier now than being stuck on the future and following a plan all the time.

    I found myself also planning a lot, but what I think really helps is less planing, more doing. As you start doing you start learning in a self-reflective way, what functions and what not plus you have the good feeling of having done something. Not to say, that I don't like her planing routines, I really enjoy, watching them 😊

    My gap year's ending in a few months and I 100% get what you mean. Rn I'm being really productive and have a pretty good structure but the first few months was just me feeling overwhelmed by the lack of structure and all the self-rules and so on (keep in mind I also have adhd). Then I found Notion and a nice studying server on discord + some nice planners and I sat down and tried a bunch of new things. It took a while but I managed to find a routine/structure that works for me and is also not super strict but also not loose (my main problem was that I either made them too strict and then panicked when i messed them up or i made them too loose and didnt follow through). And yk, at the end of the day, that's also part of the journey when it comes to gap years, some days won't be super productive and that's okay!

    All I wanna say is, thank you for mentioning that you waited 3 months to plan your gap year because when I clicked on your video, I thought "oh but she probably planned it before the year started, let's see what i can do" because my gap year already started and it's almost over tbh but this calmed me down a bit. I still rewatch this video and try to motivate myself to start the planning but it seems scary, especially because I don't have that many events in this year (also for clarification, in my case, the year started in september because of European school system)
