How to Be Productive Working From Home | Ingrid Nilsen

[@FriendlySpiderFriend]

this entire video applies to college students too! do not go to class in ur pjs, do not do hw in bed, study for 45min and then take a break, ect!!!

[@dawnnoele]

I really liked this video because I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom and even though I don’t make money doing what I do, the same principles of boundaries and self care still apply (which I am going to implement.) I am in my early forties, and it never ceases to amaze me how much I learn from people younger than me. I love your videos. I’ve been watching you since 2011 and the way you’ve grown and changed is inspiring. I loved cutie pie, young Ingrid and now I love beautiful, zen Ingrid and all the Ingrid’s in between. Thank you for bringing lightness and beauty to our world. 💕

[@Danish-zc3oe]

Same! Homeschooling mom here as well💜

[@ericagoehring1089]

Me, too! Homeschooling mom here. You make an important point about learning from others.

[@kelann89]

I am homeschooling as well! This has opened my eyes as well. I am always happy when I take a break from watching people then come back and learn something new. Thank you Ingrid.

[@yarnmom816]

Same here! 38, work at home mom who recently discovered (after 3 years of self employment) the power of morning reflection/presence and how pouring into myself sets an empowering tone for the rest of my day. Also have been a big fan of Ingrid for many years and have loved watching her evolution. 💗

[@jacquelinelun4049]

Your comment hit home for so many of us...I also started watching her from those get ready with me, hauls and shower videos ....and she gains wisdom and she changes into a very different wise person. She's a beautiful person inside out!!!

[@dianelee8616]

me in 2018: that's cool me in 2020: THE CONTENT THAT WE NEED

[@annkitare4273]

Haha

[@melaniemurphyofficial]

this is so helpful! I'm terrible for working from bed and then freaking out later in the day like THIS IS MY OFFICE I CANNOT RELAX...thank you for this, lady!

[@SarahHublerTheBeautyHub]

One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever been given is to schedule my energy. We often talk about how we fit everything in, what’s on our calendars, what do we have to get done today. And that’s important, but it’s also important to recognize how much energy those things take.So for me, if I’m going to have a huge conference call one afternoon that is going to require a lot of energy, I’m going to make sure that I’m giving myself a less intense schedule before and after that call. It’s hard to manage sometimes, but I think it make a huge difference. Just because we can make all “the things” fit on a calendar, doesn’t mean we have it under control from an energy perspective.

[@viannapettis5011]

Sarah Hubler - The Beauty Hub I would absolutely agree with this. I’ve been doing this my entire adult life and I didn’t even realize it until I read this. Lol. I tend to have some mild social anxieties so when I have something I need to do that I’m not looking forward to doing, (even a simple phone call sometimes will take a lot out of me) I’ll schedule it on an easier day and also schedule it earlier in the morning. I try to tackle the hardest thing first that way the rest of the day is easygoing. Thanks for this! It helps when someone puts words to your actions and thought processes.

[@ingridnilsen]

I love this, that it is such valuable advice. Whether we're introverted or extroverted, we're human beings and we use and need energy - and everyone needs to be replenished. I love this especially because we live in a culture that so often values "the hustle" that we see our limits as failures. Having a limit doesn't mean that you're a failure, it means you're alive and your body is literally trying to tell you to stop. I've never heard it put in this way before where it's so clear and concise, but it's definitely how I strive to live my life and this is something I'm gonna keep thinking about and carry with me. Thank you Sarah!

[@sweetpotatogreens7491]

"Just because we can make all “the things” fit on a calendar, doesn’t mean we have it under control from an energy perspective." so true!

[@yarnmom816]

Sarah Hubler - The Beauty Hub I do the exact same thing! I’m recovering from a hysterectomy so my energy is precious. Physical therapy, chores, and other activities can drain me pretty quickly so I’ve learned to work around them and make accommodations whenever possible so I don’t burn out. SO important to communicate expectations and needs to anyone I work with too!

[@Glitterforest]

This is an area that I totally struggle with. I deal with chronic fatigue so my energy is extremely limited and I really need to plan my days well because if I overdo it, then I'm out for the next couple days. So it's important to pace myself and take breaks and not feel guilty for listening to my body. Which I'm not going to lie, I feel a lot of guilt about not having the energy to do as much as most people. There is so much pressure to keep up and not just keep up but to over do it. People seem to feel prideful about not getting enough sleep and working more than the average person. I don't really understand it, because I would much rather be in good health than overwork myself. But nonetheless I still feel that judgement for not pushing myself to the edge. It's nice to hear that other people feel this way too! :)

[@warfreak38]

You getting emotional at the end made me smile. Vulnerability is the best. You have evolved so much. I sense so much maturity and self awareness. I'm happy for you.

[@MT-lu9lf]

I'd like to see a video on your thoughts of having a creative job. I'm trying to start a career as a creative but am having trouble committing to it. How do you handle taxes? What about health care? How do you stay motivated when friends and family ask you about getting a real job or question your decision to leave another job? How do you network with other creatives/industry people? What are good ways to handle people/companies insisting they shouldn't pay you because they're giving exposure or whatever? I'd really appreciate any advice you could offer to help make committing to it less overwhelming and scary.

[@valeriesaldana4838]

M T 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 saaaame!!!

[@ayoke2144]

Oh I hear you. I'm a songwriter and perform as a filler during intermezzos in political debates and lectures mainly. For me writing the songs is the easy part, it's the networking, collaborating with other groups and organizing my presence on the internet that's so hard to structure because I feel very dependent on the situation and whatever is going on in that specific period.

[@charleneswinford2465]

[@hiroshima9120]

I would like to address this, listen if you want, ignore if you want. How do you handle people companies insisting they shouldn't pay you, don't do any work for free, honestly feel free to tell them to fuck off. Nothing in life is free, and your talent shouldn't be either. about family telling you to get a real job. Until your creative career takes off its not bad to have a back up source of steady income. One of the best ways to do this is to get an entry level job with a creative company you like or respect. taxes are complicated as you can pull out and pay taxes per pay basis or pay them at the end of the year during tax time with a company like H&R block etc. A good way to network with other creatives is social media like facebook groups. or places where they get work. like upwork.com artpal etc. advice to help you make committing less scary is have a fall back, but even if you fail do it again until you succeed. just take into account you may need a steady income source while starting out. Treat your creative career as a part time career and invest some of your steady income into to help it expand if you wish.

[@Fallofasparrow]

I work a government office job, but often have to work from home when I have a large case I’m working on. This gave me a ton of great ideas! A lot of these would be good on weekend days where you need to be productive with non work-related things.

[@julieanne5694]

Me: how to be more productive Also me: let me watch youtube videos on how to be productive. After 5 hours of "learning how to be productive" 🤔

[@stephanie__nicholee]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ByAnnieBasson]

[@mariacasella979]

Bahaha!

[@katie4623]

You tube sucks up so much of my time. I want to stop spending so much time on it too.

[@kay-lynewolfenden2943]

Julie Anne mood 😂😂😂😂

[@kdeluca7]

Well this is the most relevant video I’ve ever seen pop up in my sub feed. Literally just opened my iPad and came on KZbin for a break as I’m sitting here working from home. Guess I should put my iPad away, right? Well.......after I watch this of course!

[@Ginab33]

You seriously are an embodiment of light and love. I saw you in this video. And you turned talking about something ‘mundane’ and trivial into something meaningful and deeply spiritual. I definitely relate to this too. More videos like this!

[@01fancynancy]

I have worked from home for over 17 years now (not self-employed) so I work a regular "shift" as there is a lot of interaction between me at home and the people who work in the lab and offices. So many things still apply - get on a schedule, get yourself ready for the day, take breaks, don't let yourself work through lunch, set boundaries, and when the work day is over, shut that office down!

[@connie2264]

I have worked from home for 7 years. And I think the first video I watched of yours was a morning work from home routine.. I am constantly tweaking my routine. Staying in pajamas is a sure fire way to make me grumpy. I have started planning outings when I know I have an extra tedious work day ahead and it's a great break in the middle of the day to clear my head and MOVE!

[@deannlovesalot6083]

I kind of could feel like you were about to cry right before you said it, which made me emotional as well. You are such a sweet person but one of the things I have always liked about you is how deeply you feel and how it is also able to translate through just a screen. I can always feel what you are saying and I can’t say that about many KZbinrs. You have always been true to yourself, not changing for others and I admire that. 💗

[@vantoten]

I love that this is just more of a sitdown vid no music in the background, minimal editing & just listening to these tips

[@zuleimaapodaca5412]

Thank you for this video. I have gone from working in the medical field to working from home in 3 diffrent jobs and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Lately I had been so stressed and I was looking through and filling out tons of job applications. Your last words just made me remember why I love working from home. Thank you Ingrid you’re amazing! 💕

[@susanharkema2888]

I just love your mindful approach to working from home. I've been doing it off and on for over a decade and I'm still searching for ways to make it more nurturing. LOVE the idea of spreading out the newspaper of the week...small but fun!

[@bookishfairygodmother]

Ingrid this was my very favourite video of yours. I don’t even work from home and I got so much out of it. Like...I watched it two times...in a row! That has NEVER happened before! Anyway thank you for showing what intentional living can look like on a daily basis.

[@IamtheFluffyUnicorn]

When Tayto laid down in your lap my heart melted ♥️

[@badgerinabluedress4866]

I work from home and I'd be interested in a video on how you stop yourself from getting lonely from being alone so much. Also how you fit in socialising, I can go a week and realise I've had no interactions with humans that didn't involve parcel deliveries. I'd also like a vid on how you downtime in the evenings. I am so not great at switching off.

[@queenmubeenah]

Ingrid this video should be put on cnn as a guide for those that work from home! This was genius. Sometimes we know the answer 😌😌 but hearing it from others makes it really sink in. Thank you for being who you are thank you for this video. It felt like you made this video for me. Thank you. ✨✨✨✨🙌

[@beautybless]

Thank you for putting this up Ingrid. I work from home and my work is 9-10 hours everyday and I work from 5pm to 3:00 am in early morning It really drains me off and I am not able to set up my time for anything at all. Workout, eating habits, skincare etc. nothing at all. If you could please make more deep video for people who work from home Thank you and I just love you since 2010.❤️

[@hebronwatson9532]

I love your genuineness and commitment to self betterment and productivity.

[@ankitab98]

I am a student studying in college, and still I find this video useful. It not only describes the process of working from home but also how to figure out your boundaries, what pattern works for you, giving yourself enough break, to be present in the moment, etc. Thanks a lot Ingrid! I admire you a lot. 😁❤

[@MadeSimplyNikki]

Ingrid! You've always been an inspiration to me and this video really helped me see what I need help with when working from home. Added, I do have a 3 year old at home with me while I work. But I think disconnecting is important and giving myself blocked off times to work on different things is something I've tried but haven't stuck to. I would love to continue working from home and try these tips. Thank you for sharing! Felt so refreshing watching you share not only your tips, but your perspective. Best xx

[@cassiecozman3615]

Haha! When you asked your Google home to set the 45-minute timer my Google home registered your voice and also set a 45-minute timer.

[@gray_mara]

Mine too. I find it really annoying when people do this in videos.

[@WhoCaresAlisha]

Same thing happened to me lol

[@queens6583]

Good advice Ingrid. Nice to see you settling into your New York life. Please though, take your phone with you when you walk Tayto, for safety. You never know when you or someone else might need help.

[@WorkerBeeSupply]

I got introduced to you when someone posted your "Working From Home // Tips for Staying Organized & Motivated" video on their Facebook page way back in 2015! I remember watching your coming out video that night as well and soon after that, you became the first KZbinr I started to watch regularly! It actually would have been right around this time 3 years ago, so it's pretty neat to now see Pt 2 of "Working from Home" and how much you and your channel have grown! Thank you for continuing to be the beautiful, authentic, and thoughtful Ingrid I was first introduced to 3 years ago, your videos are still amongst my favourites to watch as they always add a little comfort and sparkle to my day. Also, you looked absolutely lovely in this video! So fresh and natural and that dress suited you so well. I've definitely taken some style tips from you, especially in the hair department! ;)

[@ScriptiCat]

I have worked from home for years but doing so in lockdown feels completely different and I am finding additional ways to manage. This was a helpful vid as some new tips and ways to work are always welcome.

[@CreateAbundanceforever]

i work from home a lot and although I enjoy working from home, I do struggle with staying focused. It all changed for me when I created a workspace/office in my home and now productivity has gone through the roof for me. I usually use the pomodoro method when I am writing, that works well to keep me focused on the task at hand. Thanks for the video, i loved it!

[@shiroikagayaki]

Aaand coming back one year later for work tips during the Coronavirus quarantine. Hope anyone else reading is safe and healthy!

[@emily_kim]

This video was truly a kick in the butt to be more productive😂

[@oliviamarvel5424]

Honestly I don’t necessarily work from home but I’m self employed as a hairdresser & my most productive hours are like 10-5. I love that I can make my own schedule & I’m so much happier on this sleep schedule

[@colleendeanna114]

You are so sweet. This is just what I needed today! Working from home can be so hard in different ways than working in a office job. Ingrid this video was so relatable and helpful and I thank you for taking the time to show part of your process.

[@SarahNathanielOber]

This is inspiring. I’ve only been saying for MONTHS that I need to reorganize my work schedule. By the end of my work week I’m exhausted and annoyed that the in-office employees can take breaks and lunches and I “can’t”. Disconnecting and boundaries are so important and I needed this little push to make these changes.

[@mrs.wheatly7612]

I don't know why, but i always feel guilty working from home. But like you mentioned, its not as glamorous as people think it is. Right now, today I'm working from home and i decided to watch this video again so i can again realize that this is a great opportunity for me to be more productive.

[@InfinitelyASMR]

Yes please to both those future videos! I shared this video with my team because we often work from home as part of our schedule and it’s something I always dread for all the reasons you mentioned.

[@catherinebeard9288]

This is really helpful! I work an office job full time, but I’m also working on a masters degree that is completely online. I sometimes find it hard to really focus on homework on Saturdays when I am just home all day! Setting timers, taking breaks and not working through lunch are all things I do and really help me be more productive! Thanks for sharing this video! ❤️

[@TheSunnyD01]

So interested in seeing what a creative job is like and how you disconnect after working from home!

[@maiaautumne2167]

I need to do this! I’m totally a morning person, my brain is at its best then, so as soon as i wake I will check emails/work in bed before i even get out of the bed. I work through lunch too and then i start to feel tired - i do often end up going to a coffee shop or library because I can get distracted with chores and end up exhaustive and feeling as though i havent done anything. I will be setting a routine and taking breaks too. Thanks for this Ingrid x

[@waytoprogramming]

I loved the idea of setting timer of sometime. Sometimes I can work for two hours in a row but having 30-45 min timer gives you refreshment and new ideas for the next time you wanna start working!

[@waytoprogramming]

@@Fallofasparrow that's a good approach 👍

[@Javijavijavi]

tomorrow i literally have SOO much work to get done: filming, editing, normal house chores lol THANK YOU !! could not have come at a better time :)

[@Cristelhulali]

Yes please!!! I would love to see more about what life is like as a creator. And how you balance everything. I love your new aesthetic too 😊

[@TheAmalys30]

I needed this video. I work in the health care industry and for the last three years I have been working from home . Yes, if you do not setup a productive day it is going to drag you down. Thank you so much love 💕 your videos. Xoxo

[@JessicaBiilor]

I love these videos! For me, as a student, the challenge has been to learn to study at home and not be distracted. I still use the tips in your old working from home video, they’ve been super helpful! Love how mindful you still are with this :) Would also love to see an evening transition routine from you

[@ni_jpeg]

I've just stopped working (at home) to watch your video. I really needed it. Thanks!

[@fuada.]

Seeing this video it really motivates me to leave my phone and focus on the other things. I realized last few months I see myself using my phone a lot more than usual so this video is a really good push . Thank you Ingrid. ❤️👏🏻

[@artemisatsea]

I would like an unwind video also a video on what you do during 15-minute breaks to replenish.

[@karaitz90]

Currently finishing my PhD and doing a lot of work from home and this video is so wonderful and reassuring for me!

[@jozsacsilla]

Thank you so much for creating such real and helpful videos, Ingrid. Love the human element you show in all your videos and interactions with others. You have grown so much since first starting your channel and I love the maturity of your content and the fact you talk about real life topics and just your experiences with life. Thank you!! 💕

[@BeautyNewb]

Definitely interested in your thoughts on disconnecting as a whole. I feel so compelled to always have my phone and know what’s going in the world, and I hate it. I’ve been wondering what screen time balance even is in 2018. Is it wrong to be away from your phone for long periods of time? What about emergencies? What about txts? Does not be constantly informed make you seem old or lazy? Should I feel guilty about the correspondence expectations of others or should I meet my needs? These are all things I consider as a 29 year old women. It seems so silly to even think these things, but I do really feel like you understand and are taking action to find your balance. I appreciate you, your time and your thoughts. Thank you for this content Ingrid 💜

[@ingridnilsen]

For me, I look at screen time balance and disconnecting as forms of creating personal boundaries. There are a lot of people who will try to say that boundaries are bad and that boundaries are unnecessary or frivolous. People think that boundaries mean you don’t care, but they mean the exact opposite to me. They mean that you care a lot and that you respect yourself. I really think from now and into the future, we’re going to hear so many more people talking about this!

[@IHGChick]

Ingrid, you are so wise for your age (from my age, everyone looks very young!) and you are a very good presenter. I very much enjoy how informative you are. Keep up the good work!!!

[@gracemcmorrow6406]

Yes! I would love to see both of those videos (how to disconnect and what it’s like to have a creative job). I really enjoyed this video.

[@kaitlingately3785]

I love that you mention listening to your body’s rhythm- I am a wolf (my sleep chronotype) or a night person- and I’ll never be a morning person- and I feel like I need to defend myself for being that way. Thank you! Love your content- and yes I am working from home... watching KZbin.... lol

[@PiMGiRL107]

I am a night owl, and I loved how you shed a little light on how this is our rhythm vs. that we're lazy. I've always felt bad for sleeping late, and seemingly sleeping in because many of the people around me are early risers. I've tried to sleep and wake up earlier because I do agree that more hours would fall into my timeframe to be productive ... but I think I stress about it too much, and end up failing ultimately. So it's going to be a super slow adjustment for me if and when I want to try that again. Very informative video - I loved it!

[@saravandriessche765]

This is so helpful Ingrid! I work from home while all my other coworkers are in an office in a completely different state. And while I think I have some structure to my day, I feel like I can certainly improve. Getting dressed & having those breaks are crucial! Thank you xx

[@AbbeyHowe]

Connecting with this so much right now. 2 weeks ago, I started working from home full time and it was definitely overwhelming and frightening. It's nice to hear your thoughts and tips. Thanks for getting real with us. :)

[@jendelrisco]

Like you, I have been working from home for almost a decade, and I can't agree more with all that you have said! Golden info right here

[@omgiloveyou4665]

This videos has been a reminder for me to respect my time and my space even when I'm at home. Sometimes I forget that selfcare also includes discipline in my day to day life. Thankyou Ingrid ♡

[@zarabroadfield1126]

[@keriohern5568]

This video is soooo helpful for me! I just graduated college, and I started a graphic design job that lets me work from home. I've been really struggling with balancing myself and coming up with a process that even remotely works. Thank you, Ingrid!

This video is great for college students too!! I struggle with being productive since I'm still living at home while going to school. Thanks so much for this!!!!

[@courtneyruys]

My job allows me the flexibility to work from home and it was such a huge adjustment for me. This is absolutely brilliant as it's not always easy to discuss with others, as you mentioned there are a lot of misconceptions about people who work from home. It has a whole different set of challenges, but I've found ways that keep me focused and productive while still allowing me the guilt-free enjoyment of the positives I get working from home. Love these healthy work practices you shared, thank you!

[@courtneyruys]

also, you made my google home set a timer for 45 mins! haha

[@beautychickee]

this video was uploaded at the perfect time. I was just looking into getting an office space to work from because I felt that I wasn’t focusing at home working. but this video really inspired me and taught me some ways to make working from home more productive for me! thank you! ❤️

[@andraelizabeth]

Great video on working from home. I like your tips on setting up break times, and getting fresh air. I agree so much with getting out, if you can. It’s like a reboot for the rest of your work day. I feel most productive in the morning, but with having kids, I find the easiest time to get things done is in the evening once they are in bed. I will often catch myself over multitasking and have to refocus. Taking a break even for 5 minutes really helps with that.

[@pekkoaakko3998]

Thank you youtube algorithm. for putting this to my recommendations at a time like this

[@KZWavy]

I'm watching this video while working from home lol

[@aldimanzoni6872]

You can work at your body's rhythm, as you said, mostly only if you're self employed. I've worked form home for around 6 years now, and before besides working at an office, I also worked freelance (from home, of course) and I have to follow the regular working hours from most offices schedule. How I manage to work from home without losing my mind is to wake up earlier enough to have breakfast, I read the paper while at it, and then after work I set myself to go out at least three times a week, I do boxing 3 times a week so that kinda covers it, but since it's always the same activity I try to do other stuff to. Especially if you live alone or are the only member of your family that works from home, it can become a bit lonely, since you spend 8 hours of your day by yourself, so I think going out to do whatever you like to do it's a great way to both, leave the house and interact with other people. I think it's really important to actually take the time to lunch, even if you work in an office. Totally agree about not working in the bedroom, I also have an office for the only purpose of working, to keep the professional and the personal life separated.

[@NickaPaulo]

It's not about the time you work but about your focus so you be as productive as possible. There are days that I work 12h and I don't see anything done because I'm splitting my attention and when the deadline kicks in I'll have work days that count for 2-3 normal days because I stay focus on what I need to do. I also work from home and I never work in my bedroom and rarely work in my living room because it's like you said each thing has it's vibe/energy. I always get more done in my office. But said that my last place didn't have space for an office so I worked from my living room. You/me/we need to work with what we have and it doesn't matter that most people do it like this or that, if it doesn't work for you don't force it because if you go with the flow you will be happy and produce greater work. (I know what is best for me at the moment but I'm always trying new stuff because we change and there is always space to improve just be careful if it makes you happy or more stressed =D) Loved the video

[@2write2sing2dance]

I work from home too, and though my office is in my bedroom (that will be changing soon) I work smarter rather than harder. I agree with a lot of what you said. Great video!

[@manderpable]

Absolutely loving your videos more these days than ever. I would truly love to see a video in which you discuss your journey into being more mindful. I’m working on getting into meditation as well and would enjoy some pointers from your perspective as well as seeing which tools you use. Much love and light to you my friend!

[@GlamByMeliTv]

Love this and I love how informative to you are 💜

[@chloetilleyyy]

Would love to see more videos like this! I work from home and I'm actually expecting my first child next month so I know things are going to get even more crazy with my routine and such. I love these tips and am definitely going to do the timer thing - so smart!

[@DaysOfSummerHP]

I love this video! I'm currently in college, but work as a assistant stage manager as well, so I really have to prioritize my time. I definitely feel more comfortable working from home, but sometimes have a hard time getting started or staying focused. This video put some ideas in my head on how to improve my creativity and productivity in both my school work and show work! I also have a terrible bad habit of eating lunch while doing work or eating dinner while doing work. I've tried to make it a priority to relax and eat before starting and this has definitely helped my productivity. Thank you Ingrid!

[@jodam96]

Yes I’m the most productive early through to late night time. And I always felt lazy because I wasn’t doing any work through the day. I wake up late morning and spend the day not doing much ( like what most people would do at night) and then the later it gets the more I wake up and I can become a lot more focused. I particularly love the hours of 12-2am because everything’s so quiet and I’m far less distracted. In the past I’ve always enjoyed night shift jobs rather than day jobs too!

I would love a video on how and where you find your creativity 💜🤗 love you Ingrid!

[@KristinaRhodes]

Girl, this was such a great video! I see a big difference in the videos you've made over the last six months and I have to say, I love it. You seem grounded, confident and sure of yourself and that is beautiful and inspiring. Excited to see more from you in this season.

[@janellek6022]

As a small business owner that works from home or my office (alone) this is super helpful.

[@ArielWillow]

Thank you so much for sharing this; I’m still learning what kind of work schedule works for me and what helps me to stress less, so hearing someone else talk about it is so helpful!

[@katiewalters4097]

I had to move back home into my old bedroom so i rearranged furniture and bought shelves to block off my bed and my desk area like in a studio apartment. I was really bad at working in bed in college but I haven’t since rearranging and i feel much more productive!

[@laurendanielle7394]

This video was so needed honestly it’s so hard to be productive when you stay at home. Thank you Ingrid xoxo

[@sawingate]

Working at home video...good. Meditation with Tayto...possibly the most beautiful thing on Internet ever!

I don’t ‘work from home’ but I am homeschooled. My teacher is also a teacher at a real school, so my lessons are always after 3 or 4 pm. I use my mornings for homework, but I’m so bad at just getting on and doing it. I feel like my days are so unproductive. A big part of that is that I don’t eat breakfast and I usually get dressed just before my lesson starts. I’m going to try some of you’re tips ❤️

Thank you Ingrid!;YES to (1) having a creative job; (2) after work self care.

I would love a video on how to disconnect at nighttime and wind down from the day ☺️

[@ADIEMLOU]

Would be really interested in a video about what it’s like having a creative job that you mentioned, I don’t currently work from home but this is very helpful for future possibilities, thanks Ingrid. X

Just started working as a freelance teacher and this video is soooo coming at the right moment

[@kmellee]

I really love this video. I’m working from home more and this has been really helpful for me. I follow a lot of the same tips but I really appreciated when you recognized that working late doesn’t mean that you are lazy. This has been such a problematic mindset for me that I am trying to break and I just need to accept that I work better in the afternoon/evening! I also really related to when you said that changing out of your clothes, even if it’s into loungewear is important. I’ve been really loving the direction of your videos lately and I feel like I can connect with you. Keep up the amazing work!

Wooo Ingrid, I remember the video of a productive morning from a few years ago and I never got the opportunity to thank you, that video LITERALLY CHANGE MY LIFE! I was on a non productive face of my life and your tips and mindfulness help me a lot! So, once again you've come with this amazing bag of tools and tips and I appreciate it immensely! Thank you and BTW I miss your cooking videos! Kisses from Orlando 😘❤️💕

This is helpful! I work from home part time and am a stay at home mom so I need to work during nap times and that is tough because you need to make every second count!

[@bridzs333]

Same here. I have learned to start "prepping myself" before naptime, eating together with my daughter, drinking a cup of coffee, pick up the house as much as possible, so when she falls asleep i can start working immediately. I have to take business calls, that can be tricky, but people usually find the baby noises cute and understand :D

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

bridzs333 I do the exact same thing!! And I try not to let myself do any cleaning or cooking during my work hour or it will be gone before I know it!

Thank you Ingrid, this video is an alarm clock for me .

Ingrid, I can see you as a newspaper column writer.

[@JessicaTravelsNY]

This is a great video. I work for a company as a remote employee. I punch and punch out, working 40 hours. It’s not glamorous, it’s a job and though nice. You can get sucked into bad routines. Even be over working.

I love your recent content!! It’s very inspirational ❤️

[@alexandrehuat773]

Thank you so much for this video. I can't explain how and why I like it so much because this is too personal but this is life changing for me. Thank you very much. Have a great day!

[@Carla_1234]

love your videos ingrid! They always speak to me and correspond so closely to my life. Thank you

[@geege237]

Thanks for the inspiration Ingrid :) you always help me remember how important balance is. In graduate school, I often get so wrapped up in my studies that I lose other parts of my self. Thanks for reminding me to take a step back and reflect sometimes.
