Summary for my own notes. Here are some good daily habits: 1) Add buffers in planning 2) At the end of the day, take 5 minutes to make a small todo list for tomorrow. That way you stop thinking about unfinished tasks. 3) Gratitude journal

[@jasonchoi8309]

What do you mean by adding buffers? Could you explain, please?

[@annaspeaks373]

I am the happiest person, and I came up of that idea while studying cardiology. I don’t know how that happened but so grateful that finally realised that I am blessed of having myself in my life☺️

[@amarillasolo5864]

It's kind of amazing to find you are so 'normal' like talking about mental problems we have in every day life, because it always seems like you are so together, successful and beautiful, and it's the rest of us that have problems, not people like you.

[@aishwaryaaswal]

Talking about the Zeigarnik Effect, I've started Bullet Journaling this year, following you. You're the inspiration. Thank you so much Sadia for always guiding us to be a better version of ourselves! ❤️

[@PickUpLimes]

Oh nice!! I hope you're enjoying it 🤓 And thanks so much for being here Aishwarya! 🤗

[@wobbling-around]

This video is one of these reasons why PUL is so special. The content is so thoughtful and packed with value - it's really about habits for success but the approach is so practical and honestly different than most yt video you see on the same topic. Really awesome to watch, Sadia. I've been struggling with the 1st buas a lot at work and your tip really helped me see things in a new way - I'm trying it next week (might even give you an update if it works!)

[@Esti89dec]

I have heard people explain time blocking a hundred times, but the way you mentioned blocking time to work on something important, that really made it make sense! Thank you so much, I’m looking forward to implementing this!

[@NadiaBananaa]

I LOVE these videos Sadia! Always leaves me feeling good and I usually come back for a rewatch when I need a little pick me up, and for years it helped solidify some good habits when I do that ❤️ thank you for this Sadia!

[@melinamenendez1732]

Whenever I take the time to write down the tasks I managed to complete that day, I feel more relaxed at night and start the Next day more positive. It's a great tip! Thanks for sharing

[@user-fb1ys2lj9c]

I meditate for years it is not the regular meditation people do but I have neglected a little my routine of meditation I do less time but these few days I have gotten back to my routine of active meditation and last night before bedtime I did my meditation and it felt good to enjoy being still it fascinated my mind on all you touch on this subject 👏🏽😊

[@risika]

I was listening to a podcast that said, “it’s important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me). What’s worked for me is practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 40-60% effort into my habits (ex. journaling/working out) - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on my youtube channel. Because historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small-ish, consistent mediocre effort everyday. And its crazy how it adds up.

[@gooseygatherings]

Mediocre consistency - love it!

[@justinsheldon5887]

I’ve heard something similar before that really resonated with me: consistency trumps intensity. I use that phrase when I feel like I’ve done the minimum on something or in some way did less than my best. It helps me to turn something that could be taken negatively into something positive and motivating.

[@9Nikko8]

I love love love this idea! After struggling for years to find the perfect habits or the perfect routine, I recently started trying to be content with less, and it's life-changing even if sometimes it feels slow.

[@rav3nhaus]

It sounds like a Jay Shetty podcast/video.

[@rachelsanford9295]

I love the idea of mediocre consistency. In some ways, this reminds me of Atomic Habits, I listened on audio more than once. It was really eye opening that it's not about the Herculean effort as you say, but the smaller things add up.

[@HildredMelon]

I have the opposite of the planning fallacy. I often worry that tasks will take a really long time and thus end up trying to avoid them when , in reality, they take much less time than I was thinking they would once I finally get started ! 😅

[@trisha_banerjee]

So happy to see you continue using the BuJo concept you made a video on few years ago! The gratitude section is my favourite! 🥰

[@nicolemitsi]

Love this. I relate to the 'getting all the urgent but non-important stuff done' then not having time to get the important stuff done situation. I sometimes liken this to 'big rocks, small stones'... if you fill your jar with he big rocks first (all the important stuff) then it's easy to add the small stones in after as they fall in and around the big rocks, but if you fill the jar with the small stones first, the big rocks don't fit!

[@PickUpLimes]

That's a beautiful analogy, Nicole 🥰

[@famniwilli8504]

Your videos are always created in such a lovely way. It is so calming to watch them. Thank you for that, Sadia! 🌿

[@akilav2981]

Another fantastic video! I would love to see a day in your life or week video focusing on lifestyle and productivity habits throughout the day (ie what time you wake up, exercise, how you plan your day and stay focused and how you maintain your energy and sleep)

[@sherinebenny8743]

[@anaritamartins3890]

Thank you so much, Sadia ❤️ I love these videos about habits/life and they help me a lot, even while watching I already feel more focused and inspired! I already use the strategy of moving incomplete tasks to the next day's To Do list so I can wind down for the evening and it really helps. In fact, writing daily and weekly To Do lists on my phone's notes completely changed the game for me: I feel less anxious because I don't have to remember everything all the time - I can just check and tick it off as I go - and I see all the small victories to give me a feeling of achievement, instead of falsely assuming I haven't done anything, like before. Your channel always helps me to want to become a better/happier person 🤗

I agree with the fact that you have to be aware of the uncompleted tasks and needs that you have pending to do. Another thing that I think it's important it's to think probabilistically, that is, go easy with yourself if something goes wrong.

Sadia ! One great yoga teacher Meghan told us about 'the practice of gratitude' about 5 y ago when i moved to Paris, and it follows my ever since ! I love that you're mentioning it, i actually wanted to express how grateful I am for your existence ! I discovered you i don't know how, but before you had 500000 subscribers and watched most of your videos and loved almost every single one (apart from that boring about hair cutting ;p) I feel i've become much better person thanks to your advise and attitude (the calm, the voice, the natural harmony and living in accordance with nature). I am about 80% vegan, i began cutting meat before i stumbled on your channel ,but havint the arsenal, how you call it, of delicious recipes makes it so much more easy ! I talk with people around me how meat and dairy industry is polluting the planet and causing the unjustified suffer, and few of them actually cut meat some. I'm recommending you to everyone, so got you couple dozens subscribers, haha (3 i physically subscribed to on their phones-upon their approval;p). you're the only channel I subscribe apart from actual musicians . I love your minimalism and productivity videos, i feel i'm such a procrastinator and things take me so long to do .. Yesterday i rewatched some of your old videos and the one 'things to get rid of is SO amazing' - the fear of following your dream..hits so close to home. A dream of being an artist, even being in the drama and music conservatory is so hard.. Thank you for pointing out that cognitive biases, i ve only known the 1st one, of course i'd love to talk with you irl one day and see that beautifull smile on my own eyes (i know you're taken, that's what i warn ppl i recommend you to about xD and i'm straight, but this is just the true ;).

I love Andy's voice, too! And in general I love headspace. I have been using it for 4 years or something. And although I'm not always consistent on meditation itself, their sleep section is amazing. I have trouble falling asleep sometimes or even waking up in the night and their sleep casts just take away the pressure of not being able to sleep and just to listen something that calms you down. I think my favorite exercise are the breathing exercises, they really help when I feel like I have excess energy in my body like anxiety or just a restless mind. It's not the cheapest, however, if you're a student you can get a huge discount which is what I did this year :)
