If you’re feeling unmotivated or you just don’t feel like doing anything, I hope this storytime video of my grad school experience helps motivate you :) ~ If you enjoyed our time together, if you could please help me by: 1. Subscribing if you haven’t already 🥹 2. Smashing the like button on this video 👍 3. Watching the video all the way through That would mean sooo much to me! Thank you for being here :)

[@pjjpostgradusm8378]

Yup. I did all three for you, Maya. Love the talk. Make more videos like this. Life is chaotic for everyone nowadays. But listening to your stories made me motivated. Thanks Maya!

[@coreallbycleo]

Done!😁

[@coreallbycleo]

Thanks for sharing another inspirational story! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rocargenaeats6251]

"Just because we can, doesn't mean we need to." I love it!

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

The irony is that with all of the existent technology we should have more free time yet we find ways to be constantly busy instead of slowing down.

[@HannahlovesStories]

This was very interesting! I am amazed at how much you did while you were in college! I have had ultra productive phases in my life but right now I’m feeling very burned out and think I need to take a break from being ultra productive. Right now I’m focusing more on rest and mental wellbeing.

[@mayaleex3]

I feel you! That’s the state I’m in as well 🥹 think the past couple of years have been so overwhelming for so many of us!

[@marypeplin8132]

I completed 3 Bachelors Degrees (including my student teaching) from 2000-2004, 3 Masters Degrees back-to-back from 2006-2018, and am now finishing my PhD (2018-2022). I have always worked 3-5 jobs to make ends meet, including being a full time special education teacher for the past 17 years. How do you relax? My PhD work requires me to stay up really late most nights and then I have to be back up at the crack of dawn to fit in all of my jobs.

[@Audreylalaland]

Excuse me 👀💀

[@njpme]

What is wrong with you? 😂😂

[@teachersharon4634]

you are superb and well done with your three bachelors, three masters, and one PhD. Congratulations. I believe not many will be the same as you. Give yourself a big prize.

[@whytho7280]

How much time do you sleep with all of this going on?

[@YedidahMVO]

Goodness, props to you for finding the energy and discipline for all of that! I don't think I could consistently sacrifice my hours of sleep though 😅

[@keylarenee31]

Wow love what you said at the end about rest! The sermon at church this week was about how we get so caught up in our busyness that we forget God commands us to rest. Our value/worth doesn’t come from how productive we are or what we do, but in who we are in Christ!💜

[@asheharris6642]

I worked 1 full time job and 2 part time jobs while going to college full time, and I thought I was going to die from the exhaustion. 😑 Respect.

[@Christimony222]

That’s allotttttt tho. Sheesh. Kudos to you! Did you finish? Howwwww did you do it?

[@GrowWithWill]

This is really inspiring! This just goes to show that YOU can always find a way and make things work. Amazing time management skills, Maya!

[@johnlopez3996]

It can be a blessing to be busy doing absolutely nothing. It is all about protecting your peace. Thank you for your video presentation. Take care.

[@Private_808]

Literally thank you so much, I'm working on 4 jobs while in high school, I'm inspired by you, fighting! 💜

[@Cheyann345]

Wow this is so motivating, I’m going to be working part time, while going to college full time. And I’m a little worried about time management. In addition I have to study for classes and prepare for grad school so I feel like I might get stressed out 😰. But seeing this video makes me believe I can do it!

[@user-qr9df1uf8e]

This is really like a sign from the universe to me, I was just crying because I am under so much stress because I am involved in many stuff that I can't quit right now cuz of money 😢

[@kimmyjo52]

Wow! So helpful and so many confirmations! Thanks Maya!

[@ClarissaRose]

Thank you for sharing your experience and advice!!! It really is about thinking about the future, like how what we do today or even right now will impact our future. I also like the idea of making use of all of the available minutes or time in your day, as well as how you chose to act rather than sit home worrying! That's all really valuable advice that I'll also try to implement more often, especially during the school year!!!

[@thehappycloud4519]

[@moneecaperez7594]

Thank you maya. 💜

[@darlinspaces]

Hi Maya. You picked jobs that all had their own interesting things. I had to save up a long time for the period of time when I student taught. Actually, looking back a lot of what I found tough was the expectation to dress professionally (costs involved) and put in over 110 hours of the expected training/volunteering. It was no joke! On average it took me over two years to save just for that part of school requirements.

[@yulianacamacho1570]

Thank you for this!

[@neathenerd]

I wish I could do more but my work and commute takes up 14 hours of my day and I’m so exhausted for anything else. And I feel overworked and underpaid. I don’t even get 8 hours of sleep because I have to get up at 4 AM to catch a 5:45 train and sleeping at 8 PM is difficult with all the things I’ve to do. I am honestly confused about what to do.🙁

[@DailybreadwithBreeMinistries]

This so helpful thanks Maya

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

Feeling the need of constantly doing something was a sign of anxiety in my case, after my psychologist told me that I suffer from anxiety somehow I stopped feeling guilty, however, I'm still doing something, even working with something in the background and it's exhausting. Yoga helps me a lot because at least 4 times a week I disconnect from the world for an hour.

[@ayoyougotthis]

Thank you so much for this awesome video! You have such a great personality and there were so many helpful tips! Just subscribed and I can’t wait to watch more content! 🥰💕

[@erickimura3710]

This is very relatable. I work full time as a Team Manager then going to school taking Radiologic tech. I sometimes cried to class because I havent had sleep for 16 hrs straight but Im so thankful that the management where im working is so considerate.

[@vampirelove8611]

[@astridhaddock1799]

Hi Ms. Lee! It's your old Crestview students (Class of 2022). We miss you! Keep Slaying! ❤

[@infiniteblueskies7174]

When you said at the end to use my time wisely, it motivated me to delete prime video app off my phone cause I like to watch shows a lot. I can barely handle my part time minimum wage job, but it is cool to see what I could potentially accomplish if I made certain changes/sacrifices and had the drive. Thanks for another inspiring video Maya.

[@memesssss37]

I like your vidios so much b.c its helping and its makes me happy

[@breno910]

Thank you Maya for all the effort you put out to make content for us. That last line hit deep! 👏🏽Have a blessed day friend 🙂

I like how you did jobs that most people would think about doing, many people think of retail or restaurant work while in college. Also found you because a teacher I had used one of your videos around teaching lol

[@tryxiebajen4808]

Hi Maya! I miss the vibely group so much! Anyways, this motivtes me so much. I only have two jobs but I barely manage my time perfectly.

[@SaskiasaChristkind]

I studied in Germany. While studing I worked 20 - 40 h or even more per week. It was ruff but I could see so much and travel so much for free. I learned a Lot about different companies since I worked for a Marketing Research Institute and for my university in e. g. nationalparks.

[@pedrogodoy5137]

I really would love to do this, but with working, mental health, family, church, meetings and other responsibilities. My brain just goes crazy, so now I only do 2-3 classes per semester lol

[@dizz_ip]

You are really an inspiration for me. I actually spent my weekend doing nothing (but binge watching BTS videos and kdrama). I'm really stressed out becoz I don't know what to do coz I don't like the path I'm studying. So I don't ever feel like studying 🫤 Thank you for this Vedio 🤠

too good to be true

girlllll.... I think that might be a good mental health limitation for me.. But listen, good for you boo.

[@YedidahMVO]

Thanks Maya! I'm just going to have a part time job and classes in the afternoon, but it already feels like a lot! This motivated me though, I just want to find time for the Lord, my family and my husband in between, any advice on how to manage that is appreciated. 😊

[@kimoramicheal8353]

Lmao wow! Just reading the title, my 3 jobs and part time grad school is nothing now! 😆🤷🏽‍♀️

[@CanadaNickciN]

Very impressive

[@SL-lz9jr]

I saw the title and was, like, nope. Not for me. Don’t want this life. But I do have a variety of occasional side gigs. My favorite is pet sitting because it doesn’t interfere with my mostly remote day job. Why not earn two incomes at once? Lol. Someday, I’d like to have just one job. What a luxury. My time management sucks, despite being a really organized person. Ironic!

[@shraddhaagarwal7943]

[@hadassahBespokejamison]

Although 5 jobs sounds like a lot and a little like clickbait lol, you did it in a reasonable and realistic way which applaud 👏🏽 even thinking about homework!

[@Fourwindsofsuccess]

I’m not sure lol. I’ve worked two jobs before that’s all my body could handle. 5 jobs? Hmmm…. Lmaoo. Let me go.

[@zoereed3421]

this is about to be me in two weeks

[@llw04939]

It surprised me you made 40 to 50 a day for housesitting! I house sit all the time and I feel like I charge really high at 30 to 35 dollars a day. I am a doggie daycare supervisor so I feel like that makes me extra qualified to house sit, making me mark up my prices to 35 a day. Is that still low?

[@mayaleex3]

The house I housesit for has 9 pets! Hahaha but if they only had two doggies or so I’d probably do $35-$40 in Los Angeles :)

Its really good i get an extra day to work or do whatever. I just have 2 sleeps that are around 3-4 hours but im well rested anyhow and its flexible so i can take these shorter sleeps whenever. You need a flexible job tho or to be a stude. So yeah , 15 days in two weeks 😋😋😋😋
