Being a morning person is the weirdest privilege I've ever had! I have night owl friends who feel pressured to be "morning people", but I think that if the powers that be allow, you should go with what your body prefers. So, to all the night owls out there, 6am is that golden time of day where we cross paths haha. Love watching these routines, they're so relaxing.

[@RubyGranger8]

Completely agree with you! And it’s bizarre how society privileges and praises certain people for being more productive at a particular time of day even if work output is the same!

[@Lefthandshake]

I've always been a night owl, and the struggle is real haha

[@SquirrellyNerdyJess]

My husband is a very late night owl, which was perfect when he was a gigging musician but awful being a peripatetic music teacher in schools, and the schools typically had no sympathy for the former even though they hired him BECAUSE he was a working musician… So much unnecessary stress because of it.

[@Lefthandshake]

@@SquirrellyNerdyJess People often treat it like it's some kind of moral failing, or think you're lazy, which is really frustrating

[@SquirrellyNerdyJess]

@@Lefthandshake Exactly! He’s had so many times when people make joking/snide comments to his face. After I read Matthew Walker’s Why We Sleep, I was at least able to give him an explanation for why his body is the way it is, and he’s now able to push back a bit with the science, but it’s still so heartbreaking watching him battle with it constantly.

i remember watching your videos back when i was in highschool, i’m so glad you’re still around

[@KiaraCaballero-km5us]

You know what? I'm going to start an actual good morning routine just like this! I too live with other people and until I saw that she lives with others but still makes it work, I felt a lot better. Before, I thought that everyone that has a good routine lives alone. Thank you for helping me. These videos calm me and make me leave with a new sense of open-mindedness. 😊📙🖋☕

When you posted your first morning routine years ago, I was still at school and I was totally obsessed about it! I dont know why I loved so much the fact that you read while brushing your teeth 😂 so, I started doing the same thing and tried to replicate this same routine. Well, years later, I’ve recently finished college and still love your videos :) it feels like we grown up together, xx from brazil ❤

[@Doubleoseven502]

These videos are so peaceful and calming. Life is so hectic nowadays but its so important to take stock of each day or you can miss so much. People with high pressure job, stressful lives, busy families just be careful you don’t burn yourself out and miss out on life.

[@samworley3960]

i’m obsessed w y’all’s house omg it’s so gorgeous and cozy

[@rapunzelle714]

BTW- you don't need to take our the cartridge to refill the pen, just dip the pen into the ink and fill as normal, that really helps with avoiding dripping ink 😊

[@RubyGranger8]

Oh my gosh thank you! I didn’t know that!

[@CobaltHanna]

Omg! I just tried this, thanks for the tip!!

[@YourTrueShelf]

I didn't know this either!

[@emilygwynneth1278]

wait I didn't know this!@

[@Eliza-anisiltireach]

Yes. This! And what helps against air bubbles is empty the cartridge, fill it one go, empty it again, and then fill it just one twist at the time with a few seconds in between every twist. It really works. And submerge the nib fully.

[@lauren-lucycook568]

Your thoughtfulness never fails to make me smile Ruby! The fact you are reading more middle-grade books so you can recommend them to students is just so lovely. Fabulous video, as always!

[@sofiamorehead418]

There's something so special about consuming content you typically wouldn't so that you have something to offer other people. My brother and I always give our cousins (six, aged 4-12) one book and one toy/non-book for Christmas, so I read children's books and juvenile fiction books all year so that I have good ones to give them come winter.

[@RubyGranger8]

Completely agree! I love reading books with a specific purpose actually 🤍 that’s honestly so lovely that you do that for your cousins… they must appreciate that hugely 📚

[@wanrifkawulandari5683]

OMG, I've been following you since the morning routine for school, university, and now for work. I love your content so much

[@kimstadtherr]

[@Hol1984]

[@keiradormer-hazell3013]

Your commitment to research and finding knowledge is so inspiring. Whenever I become overwhelmed I love to watch your videos as it reminds me that knowledge is something to better our souls and minds aswell as our academia. Thank you

[@mariamsameh6719]

I am just baffled at her energy, I never thought watching someone could be so peaceful and motivating, I really want to see what you do the rest of the day❤😭

[@selinaqi2974]

Everytime I watch your morning routine videos, i feel like time is going back to eight years ago! Everything hasn't changed

[@JuliaHinagiku]

I love it so much, that you are so real and transparent. You're making it clear, that you filmed parts the next day and told us the reasons. And you have a normal home, nothing seams staged and i can feel more in peace with myself by seeing messy corners and dirty things. It seems so responsible from you and for that I wanted to say thank you! Live is sometimes (or often for me) hard. By seenig such a lovely, intelligent person like you with so much productivity and at the same time so much 'normel messy' home, takes pressure from me. Not only motivated me this video to study and be more aware, read more and stay up in the mornings. It although showed me how much I do and accomplish and that it is so normal, to don't be perfekt in every aspect of live. thank you

[@justvibingg-yt]

Your writing was really accurate and comprehensive. I will correct some spellings- perfekt should be perfect, normel should be normal. live is a word but where you’ve used it here it should be life (because it’s a noun). Otherwise I really can’t see why you’d fail english!

[@vixikie]

@@justvibingg-yt Fun fact "perfekt" is how we spell "perfect" in Swedish lol. You know, even real authors makes mistakes and therefore have people proofread their books many times. But even when having several people have their books proofreading, you can still find some mistakes in their books, so not even them have perfect writing all the time. I think your text is perfectly fine, I would not expect that you would fail English in school if I didn't know.

[@lovelyday4009]

If Ruby had worked in my school when I was younger, I know for a fact she'd be my absolute favourite and would have inspired me so much!!

[@shidehhafezi6826]

I am 58 years old and when I was going to primary school I carried a pen and ink in my school bag much like the one you filled with ink. In fact, every student did that at the time. I am glad I found your channel and will start following you.

[@leropf]

Hey Ruby! I am pretty sure that you can refill your ink thing while keeping it in your pen, no need to unplug it! I had on of these at school and never took it out while refilling:)

[@Anna-rm1nj]

Just a tip about something I learnt the hard way: if you can, wait a bit (like after brakfast, maybe?) before putting in your contact lenses. A couple of years ago I caught an eye infection from wearing them too much and had to stop wearing them for more than a month, which given my poor eyesight was so annoying. Now I'm back at wearing them 12+ hours each day, but I try to put them in as late as possible and take them out as soon as I get home.

I leave my House at 5:55 AM to catch the 6:05 AM Bus. I am on the Bus for 45 Minutes, then I am in the City. I take another Bus to my Job and although I don't start until 7:30 I get there at 7:00 and start my day. On every Second Friday which is Payday, I get up earlier at 4:45, do my Bank Transactions, Pay Bills etc which is one less thing to worry about. Yet you are so Zen with your day.

I don't know if you will actually see this, since the video is several months old, but you can refill you fountain pen converter, while it is in you fountain pen. You dip the nib end of the fountain pen in the ink bottle and just twist the converter like you would otherwise. Then you can wipe your nib (with a piece of cloth, or a (paper) napkin) and you are done! You can keep your hands, desk and pen much cleaner that way, although I usually place my ink bottle onto something (I use a rubber pad, just to make it more stable), just to be sure!
