[@shipwrecker37]

I'm a cis het guy, but this video is still very helpful. Hormone cycles are also affected by diet/meal timing and factors like stress so it's important to not get critical when there are times where you're not "feeling" it. I think an understanding of seasons that's talked about in the video is better than the idea of expected, constant productivity. Plus, I get more insight into what my partner is experiencing. :)

[@BlancheTecson]

this video is crazy good. I've noticed a pattern in myself and how i feel every time I'm about to start my period. The seasons of the cycle make soooooo much sense, especially autumn for me. I'm just so emotional and I'm eating everything and anything without any self control ... kinda like hibernating in winter. but once my period is done I feel so much more alive and my cravings disappear !!

[@KilgoreTroutAsf]

There are also other hormonal cycles like the circadian rhythm that can vary a lot from person to person and depending on season and latitude, which is why advice like "wake up at 5am and be productive in the morning" is an idiotic overgeneralization.

[@audreyajose632]

This makes so much sense. I know so many people who are not morning people and wake up grumpy and not energetic at all. Obviously these people are not going to be productive if they wake up at 5am.

[@cymbamcreynolds8838]

I've known I'm a night owl since I was a teen. Even when I manage to wake up early consistently for school, I always end up being physically sick and mentally tired nonstop until I literally unable to go to school/work. I don't have this problem when I can naturally sleep, wake, and work on my own body's schedule. This is one of reasons why full self-employment is a goal for me

[@frozenraspberries1552]

Dude I have delayed sleep phase syndrome-- sometimes I'm able to wake up early but I'll most likely won't. The lack of sleep does affect my productivity and ability to function when I have to run on everyone else's time.

[@SIC647]

I would say that my cycle is a bit different on the seasons. My period starts after winter. In other words, before my period I need to do as little as possible, make no decisions *on anything* and not trust my feelings (years of experience leading to that knowledge for me), eat, sleep, wait it out. The second my period starts, it is like the sun starts shining again, so spring is a very accurate metaphor.

[@ShyShySchullie]

This is the same for me. Winter is my PMS week. Once I get my period, I start to see the light and then after two weeks I hit prime (summer) which lasts one day. Then it's fall for one week, then back to winter (PMS). And yes, my PMS lasts 7 days. :( I often cry because that's when I'm overly sensitive and I try not to make too many commitments.

[@akashtiwari5729]

This is really cool ☆ just few days back a friend had pointed out the male-dominated character of online spirituality & self-help / productivity space - leading to men-focused anecdotes & tips (mostly unintentional on the part of creators). This video comes as a breath of fresh air ♡ thank you 🌻

[@ingridelknermusic]

I'm glad you made this! Women should realise they could also have PMDD - where they have a lot of fatigue, cognitive problems and depression in the week before menstruation. I think a lot of women beat themselves up over not being able to function, not putting together that this happens every month at the same time. If you know it's coming and is going to fell you, you will handle the crying fits, bleak mind and need to sleep better, and know to get heaps done while you have the chance and give yourself time off leading up to period. In opera, there are 'grace days' where they know female singers are too inflamed to song properly and they allow them time off. It's not all in your head!

[@Ggoldwyn]

YES!Might easily be the most unique productivity video I've seen. As a fairly sensitive person in general I didn't think it affected me as much until I noticed that in the 'fall' period as I'm trying to be productive I get the most anxiety and mood swings(because I want to do as much as usually but I can't). Once it's winter I kind of expect less of myself the first days hence things ease up a bit. Considering that depression and anxiety are tied to different hormones I think anyone having menstrual cycles and mental health issues should have an idea of where they intertwine and there might be trouble. And yes, a lot of things we can't plan as we wish but it's important information for the things we can. I feel I'll be rewatching this

Thank you for talking about this! As someone with hormonal imbalances that come from both a monthly cycle and my ADHD, I get so frustrated by neurotypical cis men who think self-discipline is the sole factor in determining your success and productivity. I used to subscribe to that school of thought and felt so defeated when simply “setting routines” and “powering through” didn’t work for me. Now I know I need the space to develop a system that works for me and accommodates the times when I fall short of a goal so I can treat failure as a normal part of life and pick myself back up without feeling like I’ve failed as a person.

I vaguely knew about this before this video but this is super interesting. It's weird, cause for me "winter" is actually my most productive time some months while summer the least productive, other months it's like you described. I also really question how this correlates with people that use bc, since the periods you have on bc aren't actual periods when you take it exactly. Or how this is different for people that take bc that doesn't make them menstruate at all. I mean it does something to the body right? I also find that this just goes to show how much of the world is structured around the daily hormonal cycle of cismales. Even medications for a lot of stuff is based on dudes, very evident when it comes to adhd meds for example. Idk, just super mindblowing to learn this cycle thing and its correlation to a lot of stuff structurally. Thanks for this video cause I added that book to my tbr list 🙏🏻

THANK YOU for this video!! For a) addressing the topic (which is rarely talked about in a society where we operate on a daily basis in line with cis men’s hormonal cycles 🙃) and b) using trans inclusive language when talking about hormonal cycles, even referencing things like hormone replacement therapy, which many trans people have (and also some people have for hormone related health issues too) :) So much of the conversation around periods and menopause talks about ‘women’/‘girls’ etc and I know trans people that feel excluded from the conversation because of it and it can make their dysphoria worse, so yeh, so nice to hear someone using inclusive language outside the sex education & lgbtq+ focused space. :)

Haha, hearing hormone cycles was enough to hit that like button. I don’t even follow my cycle no more. A week before I get my period, I start struggling to open my eyes at the usual hour I get up, my body is stiff, my teeth become sensitive, and I start to feel my joints… as in not that I don’t feel them normally, but they feel kind of numb and stiff and I’m weirdly aware of them. Meanwhile, my partner is just as energetic and on top of shit. Kind of annoying that this difference in hormonal changes is not just a normal thing to talk about. Then women tend to be signed off as ‘emotional’ and ‘cranky’… when men are just as emotional when they experience that level of tired. Except, with hormonal changes, we don’t need to do anything to wake up exhausted, it just happens. Fun. Thank you for making this video ❤️

my adhd isn't letting me write a structured comment but the gist of it is THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! I always forget how much menstruating influence my mood/life and your vid was a good reminder. I need to start tracking

[@annac6778]

THIS INFO IS GREAT!! Next month i have an intense conference during my summer, what a luck. I was afraid i may have no energy to do it, as i planned it in my winter. Well, now I am more confident that I can do it better than I thought

Omg I’m crying inside! Thank you so much! God made your video just for me. I struggle SO MUCH with my period and hormones and that is the first time I hear about a approach that focus on the period to manage life. I’m amazed!! Awesome content!! You have a new subscriber 😘 and I suggested your video for a friend 🎉 and to my hubby 🥲

I am so glad you're talking about this, it's massive and super super important!

[@drumnbasskim]

Thank You for saying this!! Even my work & doctor don't understand this when my period really, really affects me & my ability to function as an adult. I am definitely a different person with diff motivation, energy level, moods, even food cravings & sense of smell (believe or not; not pregnant) when I'm starting my period. Never had to count days leading up to my period cos I can count on these symptoms every time to tell me I'm nearing my week. Then things improve as my bleeding tapers off.

So much food for thought. Thanks for sharing this. I’m definitely going to track my mood, energy, etc along with my cycle and see what I learn.

THIS - I’ve been feeling so guilty lately for not being productive! Thanks for explaining this! It never occurred to me to plan around cycle! 🙌🏼

[@educationlabmx]

It's amazing a young woman like you talks about this, I wish had heard about this before, now I'm facing menopause...a completely different world! anyways, trying to sync life with cycle might be not only productive but inspiring and rewarding!

[@theviiforestine8956]

I have hypothyroidism and haven’t seen my period in months! I’m finally going to speak up to my doctor. Thank you❤️

[@TheBlissBean]

yes, take care of ur health! it's the most precious thing we have ❤️

[@thevenuschild]

Thank you for talk about this.

I deal with PMDD and I find my winter is actually days 21-28/30 and then once mensuration starts I cycle into spring. I tried syncing with days 1-7 as my winter but it didn’t feel right. I think it’s worth noting that different hormonal imbalances (PMDD, POS, etc.) can affect where your “seasons” fall in the 28 days. 🥰 Wonderful video!

Yo aprendi hace 2 años sobre este ciclo potque tuve un mioma y los sintomas eran muu fuertes. Fue liberador entenderme. Ahora, cada dia, lo aplico, a pesar de que ya no tengo el mioma. Porque tengo fuerza, porque de repente tengo mucho sueño, el otoño cuando se tiene mas hambre como mejor porque sé porque tengo hambre... Es algo que deberiamos saber todos, no solo las mujeres, desde pequeñas. Como bien dices, no se enseña y tenemos que llegar a ser adultas sin conocernos, lo cual es una locura. Gracias! Me encantó el video.

I noticed my productivity level is very affected by my cycle just last month. I can’t believe it took me 22 years to see that 😅. Love the video, it’s one of your best yet!

[@TheBlissBean]

I'm currently at the very end of the autumn season & SO tired 😩 it really helps to know why! ❤️

[@redconversegirl2711]

OMG, I never thought about this! My hormonal cycle is irregular af and this just gave me one more reason to regulate it ASAP

[@elip3807]

I absolutely LOVE. This video. I have never seen anything similar, and never thought about productivity this way. It makes me feel so much better about those days that I’m just not feeling it!! Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@redacted8573]

I needed to hear this, I've been trying to be more productive despite my mental health truggles and adhd and I think this was my last missing piece!! ❤️

[@KenzyAli]

I am so glad that I found this video so early on, I am a freshman in high school and I can't imagine going through life without knowing this. I recently had my period and was beating myself over not being able to work a lot - I thought it was burnout and mental exhaustion, which it was but it makes more sense now instead of just "Im weak". It's really nice to know this information so I can be prepared instead of suffering. Thank you so much :DDD

[@xfranczeskax]

This makes sooo much sense! I always wondered why there's times I'll just rather be a recluse and thought it had to do with some extrovert/introvert-tpe of things but then it's always just a phase... duh. The doctor always told me to track the cycle but I never understood why except for checking for regularity.. it makes sense!
