Who watch productive vlogs to be productive....but end up watching it for hrs...imma not even complaining

[@HollyGabrielle]

me right now doing the same with injury videos 😅 hoping for a miracle 😂😂

[@soya795]

Omg thank you for pinning the comment and your vlogs are best

[@sineadryan4424]

This actually made me do some work, I was just finishing a workout when I watched this and as soon as I finished I did some uni work and usually I go and procrastinate in the kitchen. Thank you!!!!!!

[@AnaLauraDelRío]

I love the shorts and hoodie combined. You could do a video about Narna and all the work about it. It'll be really interesting.

[@AlinaEshal]

Holly~ you are so helpful when it comes to restarting after the break! A daily dose of holly - keeps the procrastination monkey away..!

[@graceharrington4560]

At lot of this 'productivity' content from KZbinrs annoys me. Self-employed, online-based people, who still live with their parents I may add (no shame, just facts), talking down to their followers who have normal jobs in the real world about how to 'get up early', literally makes me cringe so hard. For most people, 'getting up early' isn't a choice, they'll literally lose their job, not be able to pay bills and lose their homes etc if they don't. Also if anyone is watching this video and feels that they already do these things and still don't feel 'productive', maybe try getting check out for ADHD - it's much more common than you think (nearly 5% of the population have it). I struggled to be 'productive' at uni without a proper structure and later found out that the problem was that I have ADHD. Tips in this video will unfortunately never work for people with ADHD and the only way to help is to medicate (which really works and is life-changing). Just thought I'd mention if someone is really struggling despite trying every trick in the book as I know these types of videos are generally only going to be helpful for neurotypical individuals.

[@cilantroisbetterthanparsley]

I sometimes wonder how much work these people actually have to do. Holly's study vlogs from years back actually showcased her being productive while having a very busy schedule, with classes to follow, studying, exercising, going grocery shopping, cooking, getting enough sleep, doing side jobs. But now...? I don't know, it's rude of me to imply it, especially since I don't know what she really does in a day. But from the vibes I personally get from her videos this last year, a lot of the most time consuming, mandatory working/studying/attending have fallen away. Again, it's wrong to imply it and I don't know anything about her, but those are the vibes I get from the videos. A lot of people don't have time for the things she calls productive but in my eyes are actually just getting ready to do the real work.

[@dianawang9085]

I mean it really depends on where you are in life. For me I’m still a student so I kinda tend to watch her old videos from years ago instead of self-employee and a lot of romance content. But she has her own life going on and she knows how to manage these in her past experience so I would still say it’s quite convincing from her

[@graceharrington4560]

@@dianawang9085 it’s not about her being convincing it’s the optics of someone your age speaking with authority on subjects that they hardly understand themselves and telling them to their subscribers who will often be more experienced than they. Holly has been someone shielded from life some could say by still living with her parents for quite some time after uni which enables her to be able to do many of the things she does (good for her), and also has an internet based job and is self employed, but instead of acknowledging that in her videos she makes patronising videos about ‘how to be productive’, giving a sense that she lives of her own productivity alone. Most people my age are living independently away from their families, have full time jobs and to therefore see a video about ‘how to be productive’ from someone who is living in a much more comfortable situation, it’s just patronising and offensive. I just think a lot of these KZbinrs need to think before they make a video and asked themselves ‘why am I making this video? Who am I making this video for?. If their answer is to stroke their own ego, then I’d say it’s time to have a break, live in the world for a bit and be more humble.

[@silvialogan9226]

Holly, I have difficulty getting up in the mornings too because mornings are not really my favorite times of day. I tend to go to bed at midnight and get up at 6:30 a.m. on weekdays and weekends and holidays 7:00 p.m. You have a Master's degree in Oncology, don't you, so you have two Master's degrees.

[@woonsuanloo1032]

The tip about putting the alarm clock where you need to get out of bed to switch the alarm off is really effective! Thanks.

I want the hoodie...it gives comfy vibe

it’s so soft and comfy I wish you could feel it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻😉😉😉

[@srivallimusicbeats3806]

It's frustrating that i can't decide what future i wanna have ... Just wanted to say that since I have no one to share

[@HollyGabrielle]

I totally understand it can be super hard, and I don’t think any of us find it easy, but it’s totally fine to take your time deciding and it’s also fine to explore different options! Good luck with the everything 💚

[@victorial3588]

I was like this for all of my teens i am 19 now and what I've realized is (and that applies more if you're a student because this is the extent of my experiences so far) do your best even if you are not sure of the end goal, make sure you have options because with time we too change and learning different things will never be something you regret (quite the opposite) , this is vague and I know you may think it's even dumb (I would too) but this is what my experience has showed me. My lack of goals and aspirations consumed me and made me lethargic, it put me in a place where I wasted very important opportunities, right now I am picking up the pieces and doing my best to get into a good college, maybe I don't have a clear image of the future but I know what feels good. Find themes and environments you like and analyze how they make you feel, then make a plan of how you can get closer to that. Even if you can't even think of things like that just try to get through each day in a way that will make you sleep soundly because even if you don't know what's next you know you are trying your best NOW and that is life at its core. I know how hard not being able to tell people is so from personal experience I want to let you know that whatever happens don't let the anxiety take over because some of us don't need defining life goals, some if us just want to live life and that is ok , hope this wasn't too boring and I really wish you the best!

[@srivallimusicbeats3806]

@@victorial3588 really thank you .. i am clear about what I want but the thing is I'm doing what I'm interested in. My parents forced me into another . I don't enjoy it at all . So I'm regretting i should've made it when they gave me the chance . I'm still not quitting. So i doubt myself every day whether I'm capable of getting there or not. Or should I just simply quit and follow my parents . It's not like they will stop me once i achive that ..they appreciate but the question is will i achive ?

[@victorial3588]

@@srivallimusicbeats3806 oh man that is hard, I am sure your parents want the best for you but is it worth living your life for others? It really depends on what the things you want to do are, you can keep fighting and if doesn't work out maybe you can somehow do both if it's possible...( I do that with my art for example since it's not such a reliable source of money), either way I cannot get too deep since your situation is probably too intricate for me to make general statements, I hope you get through this and find your way, i believe things will work out in the end,try to find the fine line between your heart and your mind❤
