8 Productive Daily Habits I Never Miss

[@CassieWinter]

What's your relationship with internal vs. external accountability?

[@b9394toulouse]

when it comes to internal v external, it honestly depends. i think i do need it especially bc that’s usually what kicks my ass into gear but i can also overpromise 🥲🥲 internally it usually turns into beating myself up which i am working on but yea lol

[@ashleykennedy2824]

Self care is so important! But also doesn't necessarily look like people think it does. Meal planning can be self care. Using all of your spoons to cook multiple meals in one day or cooking bigger meals than what you need so that you can feed yourself without cooking every day can be self care. For me, limiting the time I spend using electronics and making sure I'm getting a steady stream of serotonin throughout the day every single day is my biggest self care. Serotonin gives me motivation to do things and is a precursor to melatonin which is necessary for sleep.

[@CassieWinter]

Yup! I actually have an entire module on redefining self care in my course, because self care isn't an inherent quality of certain activities. Instead, depending on the context, the same activity can be a form of self care under certain circumstances, and can even be a form of self harm under other circumstances. Proud of you for caring for yourself! 💖

Could you do a more in depth video on habit two? The check in with your system-part, what a system can look like etc

[@CassieWinter]

Great idea! I've added it to my idea list for upcoming videos 💖

[@ceet9569]

I agree. I would like more on this if it hasn't been done already❤

Thank you! Without this, I couldn't make my attention span last the whole video (nor remember what section I wanted to go back and rewatch)

Something helpful to keep in mind, at least in my case, is that some days I might need a spoony approach and on others not, and that's ok. Somedays I'll be feeling great and do a lot of things, and on others I'll need to resort to spoony tactics. But that's part of life.

[@ClandestineGirl16X]

I really love the calming atmosphere of your videos. You make me feel so understood and less alone. And I adore the phrase "neuro spicy" Lol. Would be an adorable t shirt haha

[@CassieWinter]

Thank you! And I started hearing "neurospicy" on TikTok a lot and absolutely love it. There's probably already merch for it somewhere. 🤣

[@lv9265]

AAAAAH the 'one store' reference killed me 😂😭 beautiful

[@TinaThevarge]

Loved the Butt in Chair video. Going to work on shifting my thinking about what count’s towards goals. I recently came down with Covid, along with being ADHD and having rheumatoid arthritis. The first half of this year has been a train wreck of unfortunate events. But I’m still trying. Today I used all the steam taking a shower and cooking. But it’s still progress.

[@CassieWinter]

Oof. So sorry you've been having such a hard time. A lot of my client's have been having a rough year, too. Proud of you for showing up for yourself. ❤️

[@magalie3277]

Thank you so much for this video, and your channel overall. I've became very ill 3 months ago now, and I am very much a spoonie, which I never used to be so it's hard to let myself rest and give up working etc. You help me feel like I'm doing just as much as before my ilness but without hurting my body 🥰

[@CassieWinter]

You're so welcome! I remember how hard it was when I first developed my chronic illness and I wish I had had someone to look up to for guidance. Honored and grateful that I can be that for you. ❤️

[@frogsrkool]

Your channel has been so helpful to me! I’ve been a spoonie all my life, but it’s always been a bit difficult when it comes to navigating productivity and “how to life”. So thank you so much for your tips!!

[@debb12345]

I am able to keep myself accountable for getting my to-do list done, but I do not keep myself accountable for resting like I need to and not overdoing it. I will try asking a friend to help me stay accountable to my body. Thanks for the video, and I love your focus on spoonie productivity!

[@chechemokgosi324]

I love your advice

[@softcat2004]

I've really struggled to find a good youtube channel to support me where I am now, accounting for all of my comorbidities, that isn't way beyond my capabilities but still supports and stretches me to increase activities at my pace - and I think this is it, thank you 💖 really struggled to do *any* self care since the fatigue and my MH has been dire, this really helped me understand what it looks like for me now, thank you 💖

[@CassieWinter]

So glad you found me. ❤️ Welcome to the community!

[@ametrineambrosia4929]

I love journaling and meditation. It's amazing.

[@nickorange4881]

im cureently adding , adjusting and taking stuff out of my planner. by take out i mean white it out/use correction tape. im adding a weekly check list for my meds, and for geting some light excercise and sun, so i dont end up like golum and hide from the sun. lol. but i also feel a bit anxious i feel like i need to add something but i dont know what. i feel like im forgetting something to put in/add. :( just wanted to share in a way with someone . everyone here is asleep.

[@nickyannajones]

I'll admit...I'm still trying to fix myself. I got myself into remission from axial spindylitis once, it lasted 10 years, why can't I do it again?! I feel like "leaning in" is giving up. Idk. I'm trying to be kind to myself without giving up

[@CassieWinter]

This is actually something I'm going to be talking about in my free workshop this coming Monday. And in case you haven't seen them, here's the videos I've been doing this month leading up to the workshop: kzbin.info/aero/PLOW6sPRlbDnQA7-u0fVS467lSwOrUgCp6

[@anonymousperson4214]

Well, I just had to live through a training at work that completely drained the cognitive and emotional tanks, so that bit on self care was something I really needed today

[@CassieWinter]

Oof, that sounds exhausting.

[@mariapereira3221]

Oh, I'm tired all right. So, so tired. So massively spoon'd. I literally cannot do anything. People tell me "Maria you're so gorgeous, you've got it so together" and I'm like "feh" because I haven't gotten out of bed in days nor showered in years. Yeah I look great in selfies but I'm covered in lesions

[@nickorange4881]

so butt in chair is effort based not results based? if i understand correctly. huh *sits for a good while just thinking about that * that never occured to be before. i had been saying to myself and others frustrated that my results didnt match my effort snd that it wasnt fair. it never occured to me to try the reverse. its like the answer was staring me right in the face. thank goodness you are around to talk about stuff like this and tell us stuff we cant find the answer on, because of so much frustration. kinda mad at myself that i didnt realize sooner, once i stop feeling mad at myself. i think ill feel good , like a better late than never. lol.

[@CassieWinter]

So glad this mindset shift helps you! That's why I do what I do. It took me way too many years of my life to figure out, and I don't want anyone else to have to have to spend so much time on this, or to have to do it alone. 💖

[@serenes4492]

love your channel ... can u also show some ways how can i keep kids happy while dealing with illness ..

[@CassieWinter]

As I am not a parent, I unfortunately can't help with that 😔

[@brendalg4]

You say that doing one chore is a gentle way to get your body going in the morning... What if this is not gentle enough? I don't want to move or do anything when I get up because that is when my pain and thinking ability is the worst

[@brendalg4]

Do you have a video about intentional task transition? This is a big problem for me.

[@CassieWinter]

I don't have a dedicated video on it yet, but I do discuss it in my latest Morning Routine video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jni4k2ljotZlnKs
