2023 Changed My Life: Last 9-5 corporate work week of the year & reflecting on Work to Live Diaries

[@JennaHong]

Love you all so much, I’m SO excited to be on my 9-5 break to end off the year resting and recharging ❤ thank you so much to Ana Luisa, check out their sale here for up to 35% off shop.analuisa.com/xa-hong

[@froufou100]

enjoy your break fully sweetie, well-deserved after such busy schedule x

[@courtneyyrea]

You can definitely tell a difference! You seem sooo much happier. My year in terms of work has been the absolute best it's ever been I think! I started my first "big girl job" last year and this year I learned so much at my firm and started feeling really confident in what I was doing, and then I got surprised in October with an unexpected promotion which was really exciting! I think my goal for 2024 is settling into my new role and focusing on finding a new hobby. I really want to try making stained glass art!

[@JennaHong]

Omg YAY cheers to a good year for you as well 💕 congratulations on your promotion 🥹

[@jessssalemme]

I’m so glad KZbin introduced me to you in 2023! Of course I didn’t know you before this year but I can tell from your videos how happy you seem and I’m so glad this year has changed your life for the better! ❤grateful for you!!

[@JennaHong]

Happy to have met you (online) in 2023 💕💕

[@emilywhite2674]

can i come over to your parents house for dinner 🥺they are so precious and welcoming and the food always looks BOMB

[@JennaHong]

YESSS you have to meet my mom 🥹💕 she would absolutely LOVE you

[@LifeofBokChoy]

Joined the family this year and love it ❤ 19:33

[@JennaHong]

Happy to have you 💓

[@a.k.akarin]

I started watching your videos after my employer suddenly turned around one day and demanded we return to the office. After 3 years of working from home, I was distraught at the thought of going back to how miserable I was pre 2020. I needed help romanticising working the office and help creating the work/life balance. Your videos have helped me so much 😊 thank you

[@JennaHong]

I have a bunch of videos from 2022 where I would go into the office a lot more, if you need 🥹💕

[@sancharybiswas7022]

Hi Jenna, I have mostly started watching your videos regularly after your moving content earlier this year and since then have been loving the work to live diaries way too much. In this video you mentioned that planning has changed your life and you don't feel like you are waking up everyday just to work. Can you please make a detailed video on how you plan your to-do on a daily basis and schedule in other activities along with your 9-5? Really struggling with it. Loads of love 😊

[@JennaHong]

I’m so happy you’re loving the videos 🥹 I would say check out my plan with me videos, I show my google calendar there and how often I put my social plans but I’ll definitely add a more in depth explanation in 2024 videos 💗 and in work to live diaries I try to show my whole day or whole week so you see how I put my plans outside of work in my life ❤ hope that helps

[@Calichick67]

2023 for me is retirement... Dec 30th is my retirement day! Thank you for the videos

[@JennaHong]

Omg that’s amazing congratulations 🥹

[@hannafromatlanta]

My word to describe 2023 regarding Work would have to be: Joy. In 2022 I took a sabbatical due to surgery, so coming into 2023, I was unemployed and didn't know what industry I wanted to go into. 11 months later, I am working in PR, at a company that I love and feel every day grateful to have and truly can feel my growth and impact with the task I do! I feel so much joy and smile most days when working, which is a TRUE blessing! In 2024, I hope work still brings me joy, but I can grow my love for my music and movie podcast and create a strong online community with it! So proud of your growth Jenna, and super excited to see what 2024 has in store for you 💖

[@JennaHong]

I’m so happy for you as well, and I hope you love your job and the life it gives you 💕

[@alexisskija4497]

I can definitely tell you had an amazing year! Your spirit is so different and positive. I love it!

[@JennaHong]

That makes me so happy thank you 😭💕

[@AbbyAsselin]

so happy i found your channel this year!!! your content truly inspires me to create a better balance and find a job that allows me to do so!! super inspiring to see someone have a positive outlook on their corporate job + do it all with good balance. CANNOT WAIT to start my doodle journal so soon thanks to you too omg

[@JennaHong]

Love you 🥹💖 so happy I found you this year too. Um YESS we need to text each other our doodles it’s so fun

[@amyk3020]

Jenna, where do I start? The jewelry should make you feel glam. You look great, love the sage color on you and you don't need makeup. Lips and jewelry do it for you. Love seeing your Mom (and Daddy) but the food that your mother prepares makes me want to be back home in Maryland. I miss it sooo much. Adore seeing Beast with his cousin.....playing all the time. Now I must tell you that your transparency is heartfelt. Great to admit your feelings and struggles, you are human and this happens to so many of us. This past year for many of us has shown growth and I think we all want 2024 to come in. I want new connections, socialization and some travel. BTW, you need the Jenna Necklace....it would look awesome on you. I think it is an attractive necklace... Merry Christmas to all of you!!!

[@JennaHong]

I appreciate your support so much this year Amy 🥹💖 always looking forward to your comments. Looking forward to 2024 💓

[@tanyabaldwin636]

I have loved watching you this year! I definitely have seen that you conscientiously make an effort to make the best out of your days. It has seriously helped me personally because I work in corporate and it's hard to find people on this platform that are not just trying to make KZbin their "final destination" or full-time goal. It's refreshing that you have a life outside of KZbin and even outside of your corp job. The advice you give genuinely helps...even just how you do little things like wear jewelry and do a little get ready routine. I am so going to do that when I wfh! I am proud of where I am at work. I love the team I am on and I feel like I am moving in the right direction. You have such a cute family! Enjoy the rest of the year and looking forward to seeing you next year! 🤍

[@JennaHong]

I’ve found a lot of peace with my KZbin channel this year so it is amazing 💓 and thank you so much 🥹 YESS team WFH, thank you so much for your engagement this year Tanya 💗

[@victoriaadams2171]

I've been watching you for the last 3 years. 😊

[@JennaHong]

Oh my gosh thank you 😭💕 it means the world to me

[@rj4356]

Hi Jenna! I really enjoyed this vlog. BTW, your voice is so calming! I will definitely increase my self care and doing things I really enjoy for me. Where did you get your fur baby, Mr. B? My fur baby passed away...16+ yrs old. So , New years gift will be another pup for me🥰. Thanks Jenna & Merry, merry Christmas❣️

[@JennaHong]

Thank you💕💕 I’m so sorry for your loss I know your baby is in heaven now with my Timmie. Email me and I’ll get you contact info!!

A new field is such an uncomfortable challenge but I’m sure it has been so rewarding 💕 thank you for sharing

[@abzster]

I think I came across your channel end of 2022? I really appreciate your reflection on 2023 and also knowing what you’re talking about having witnessed what you’ve been sharing with us all year! I definitely see the happiness exuding from within you. Your planning series is definitely inspiring and I’m looking to really get back into it in the coming year. I find I stop planning when so much is going on (even though I would love to capture it in my planner lol). Anyways, wishing you a wonderful holiday season and looking forward to what you plan to share with us in the coming year!

[@JennaHong]

Thank you so much 🥹 it’s been so nice really being disciplined with the plan with me’s they help so much. Looking forward to 2024 💕

[@kaypattersonvlogs]

So happy to find your channel in 2023! I had a ton of amazing things happen to me in 2023! I was on a national television show as a guest and I cannot get over how weird and fun it was! I hope the upswing of cool things that happen continue for the both of us! Cheers, Jenna!

[@JennaHong]

Omg that sounds amazing!! Here’s to another great year 🥹💕

[@quartierkram]

Jenna, I love your positivity!! My 2023 was hard, I started a new job (which I love) but it takes most of my energy and all of my hobbies are on stand by since then. So my goal for 2024 is to find a better work life balance. Merry Christmas 🎉

[@JennaHong]

It’s so much especially starting something new. You’ve got this let’s make 2024 amazing ♥️

[@dreads8220]

I am happy for you! 💗 Your videos help me stay on track during the day as a girlie with ADHD

[@JennaHong]

That makes me so happy I could help in any way♥️

[@Kimmaeee]

Hiiiiii jenna! only started watching 4 months ago and it's been great! Your videos inspired me to really actually focus on a better work life balance in 2024, because its terrible at the moment. I've completely stopped all my hobbies as I always end up working late and to tired to do anything after work. Excited to see what next year has in store for all of us but until then...miss you already 🙂

[@JennaHong]

Miss you already 🥹🥹 it’s so easy to let our stresses and jobs get in the way, that’s why I made work to live diaries to help 💕

[@simplyellenxo95]

I just live for your vlogs. 😊

[@JennaHong]

ILY thank you for all the comments 💕

[@simplyellenxo95]

Yw! ❤

[@createdbyriks]

I am so proud of you Jenna and so so happy with how you feel about yourself. You truly had an amazing year and cannot wait to see what 2024 has in store for you! I feel like how you feel about 2022 is how I'm currently feeling about 2023, so I'm hoping 2024 will be a lot more fruitful for me as well. Your plan with me series was such a great way to have a checkpoint with yourself (and us) and it's def inspired me to start my own for accountability! Love this and love you always. 🫶

[@JennaHong]

Love you 💕 I know 2024 will be good to you

Overall 2023 was good! My job was a bit tough but I'm also thankful for it. I started it in late 2022. I was able to go to Korea for a month because of my job. I've always wanted to go to Korea so that made me very happy! I'm also meeting a lot of good people and learning new things about the industry I'm working in now. I'm looking forward to growing even more in my job in 2024 and also increasing and improving my side business! Love your vlogs Jenna. I'm so grateful to have found your page.

[@JennaHong]

Omg I’m so happy you got to travel to Korea 💕 yessss I love your 2024 goals too🥹

[@jessikalynorozco]

Hi Jenna! I hope you have a wonderful time off from work. I can’t wait to catch up with you in 2024. I’m especially excited about your Plan With Me videos if you continue it next year. One thing I did well at work this year was being mindful of my workload. I utilized time blocking and was open and honest with everyone I worked with about the amount of work I had. I could do better at asking for help and delegating, and hope to work on that next year. I loved your reflection 2023. I had a similar feeling in 2021; A beautiful year for me.🥰 Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@JennaHong]

That is amazing I’m so happy you’ve strengthened your productivity this year 🥹💕 here’s to another amazing year to come
