Hello, and welcome to my channel. This is a space for study enthusiasts and tea drinkers, and those who spend hours ambling around libraries and book shops. I hope that my videos can provide motivation and encourage you to be productive, but without feeding into Hustle Culture. I think that productivity is all about enjoying what we do, and finding time for things that bring us happiness or will bring us happiness in the future -- and I hope to celebrate this kind of living on my channel.

This is more for me but: - small notebook for writing down anything - folder for loose paper - academic planner - master to do list for weekly goals - calendar set up for important deadlines - small pencil case - a really good pen - page notes - try notion to organise - alarmy make sure you get out of bed and up - voice memos to keep up - a good study playlist - the clock app (setting timers, pomodoro sessions) - screen time limits for social media - easy snacks to have when studying - a nice water bottle - portable charger - earphones - candles (when you feel very motivated light a certain candle to associate that scent with productivity) - a watch

[@lelelimette1199]

this october I´m going to start studying English and English Literature (as a German). I am so excited and love your videos (not only for learning how to pronounce words correctly) . To everyone who is reading this: I wish you all the best and a good start of the new academic year!

It's really great to see a school essentials list that includes digital stuff, everyone seems to forget about it. So essential but even more so now with working from home so much!! Hope your final year of uni is magical and full of joy 💖🌼

Love how you've shown the title of the sections. Really creative and aesthetic - esp the post it notes and writing in the magazine

[@charlotteandromache]

I love how much effort you put in filming and editing your videos! It makes the whole experience of watching them so much better!! Love you xx

[@ajlush4734]

Thanks Ruby! I'm so excited for this! I'm off to year eleven and you're really motivating me to be the best academically that I can!

the past like 2 days i've been binge-watching your videos getting myself hyped for school starting in a few weeks and this is just what I needed tbh! i love your videos, keep up the awesome work!

One of my highlights of this summer was binge watching Ruby!! ❤

I feel peace watching your videos… I can’t live this lifestyle in my current routine, but I’m happy that you can! I would love to dedicate myself to study, reading and improving my abilities the way you do! What a beautiful life you built for yourself, Ruby, good for you!

I finished my bachelor degree yesterday and yet I am here watching this video :D

[@sheilamaposse2318]

Ruby is so organized💫

[@aresroyle7809]

oh my gods i've been re-watching all your videos in prep for the new year so this is well timed! you've inspired me to complete all the recommended work prior to the beginning of the term and for that i'm greatful

[@thistleteastudies]

I got your digital academic planner and used it to set out my new bullet journal - it’s been such a relaxing and satisfying project to draw it up and I’m really looking forward to my upcoming uni module! 🥰 I hope everyone had a wonderful academic year, let’s make it a great one!

This is amazing Ty so much I’m going on to middle school and I’ve realized how much I’ve been slacking off and being messy in general not only at school but at home too I’ve been trying to start a nice productive life like taking care of my hygiene and my mental health too but I’ve been stuck in a corner when it came to school I did not know what to expect with you I can at least be prepared for any road blocks coming my way ❤

[@Sam-zw9di]

I LOVE that these are things that actually make sense during academic year, most KZbinrs list off unnecessary expensive things just because they are trendy.

Tips for people without a desk. Put down a study blanket or use a study lamp that you only turn on while studying. Preparing them the day before helps with making it easier to start..

[@nussnager2155]

I love IT! Your choice of items is so great and comfy. Unlike others which suggest expensive electronics or complicated apps (i have nothing against it! ), you just use a normal notebook and a candle to be productive.......so good!
