[@JennaHong]

happy work to live diaries 💖 the moving content starts NEXT WEEK!!

[@tamaraesquivel7663]

Yay 🙂

[@JoanaaF28]

This really looked like your old school WFH covid era vlogs and I loved it! The to do list, the catch ups after your meetings, the lunch talk, everything :)

[@JennaHong]

oh you KNOWWWWW 🥹 it was so fun and including more time after work to talk YT too ❤‍🔥

[@mwaite8894]

Yes! Love the older WFH "productivity, lifestyle, bullet journal videos and vlogs" content 😃

[@JennaHong]

@@mwaite8894 omg you KNOW 😭😭💖💖

[@adriennehilll]

CONGRATS ON 30K!!!❤🎉🎉

[@JennaHong]

Thank you Adrienne ❤️

[@laurenincolor]

I’m also a manager at a big 4 accounting firm. I’m so happy I found your channel. You are a refreshing perspective from the overwhelming “follow your passion live to work” that’s all over the internet.

[@JennaHong]

I’m so happy you found me too 💖 thank you for the kind words

[@a217girl]

hi jenna! i just want to applaud your tenacity and dedication to committing to your posting schedule because i really do look forward to your weekly videos and i quite appreciate them! i was already going to comment that before i watched the ending of your video because i follow a good amount of youtubers, but unfortunately, they have an erratic posting schedule and sometimes drop off for weeks :( glad you're here and always looking forward to what you're up to!

[@CrisOnTheInternet]

It is nice when she doesn't post and let us know in the community tab because that's a signal for my brain to mark that's as complete since watching her videos is part of my routine.

[@JennaHong]

Thank you so much that really means a lot 🥹 you can always count on me and I’ll give a heads up beforehand if something is late

[@nicholaswaldron5190]

Yessss you’re so deserving of it! I love putting your work vlogs on during my wfh days and it feels like we’re in a little office! ❤

[@JennaHong]

Love to be your coworking buddy💖

[@vivnell123]

This came at a great time! My current 9-5 is managing FOUR different companies, but I'm also trying to start my own business... learning how to stay consistently working towards that while working has been sooo hard

[@JennaHong]

It’s so hard juggling it all but it’s normal for it to feel overwhelming 💖

[@holistictrish]

you're such an inspiration! I love watching you because it keeps me accountable on what I should be doing too :)

[@JennaHong]

Thank you 🥹

[@yeesha122]

I’ve been binge re-watching all your videos, and it’s insane how much changed for you in the last year. You’re whole persona, attitude, mood, and you really attacked your goals. To watch back, and then see these new videos it’s so inspiring to see how much can happen when you really go after it. 2023 has been your year ♥️

[@JennaHong]

Thank you so much that really means the whole world to me. Thank you for watching 🥹💕

[@Lifelogsbysteph]

your dedication to youtube is so inspirational!!!

[@JennaHong]

Thank you💖

[@danijmorrone]

I am so glad I found your channel!! Your positivity and energy is so contagious !!

Thank you so much omg that means the world 🥹💖

[@ghoulish_girl_]

I recently became a supervising attorney and I totally get the feeling of being overwhelmed/imposter syndrome; however, I'm also somewhere where I feel supported while I figure out my balance (including my work/life balance). Congrats on the promotion! ...and your long run haha

[@JennaHong]

Yesss prioritize finding that work life balance routine 💖

[@wintry_enchantress7279]

I do the exact same thing with Outlook calendar and blocking time, this is such a game changer 🙂 It is very interesting to hear about your promotion and development. I think the transition year is a great opportunity to learn the processes and leadership skills at your own pace and in a relatively safe environment. I wish I had a similar approach in my workplace - here it's the opposite, the moment you become a manager you have to jump into all the leadership tasks without prior training and this leads to people burning out super easily. As always, thanks for the great and motivating content and take care!

[@JennaHong]

Thank you 💖 it’s hard but amazing at the same time

[@curlyhairlove]

Ahhh you’re getting so close to 30K I’m so proud of you friend!! Loved this vlog and totally understand feeling crazy after back to back meetings hahah a moment is definitely needed 🤪

I never get tired of having a classic chicken caesar salad for my work lunch, hits every time! (also congrats on your promotion!!!)

[@JennaHong]

ugh yesss ESPECIALLY when the chicken is fresh yes please 🤩

[@rachellenale]

I work from home and I also love the Caesar salad kits for lunch. Sometimes I add chicken, sometimes I use a different protein.

[@jessssalemme]

Been loving seeing all your short form videos!!! But I totally agree lol it’s so hard to remember to record both 😅

[@JennaHong]

SO hard and then I feel less unplugged too

[@lisarichards6228]

Absolutely love your channel! 😊😊

[@deborahroot4912]

[@heathertormey]

I also wfh and eat the saaaaaame things for months at a time. I've gone through stints with avocado toast, oatmeal, peanut butter and fruit on rice cakes, and now I'm onto eggs and toast. I'm so glad I'm not the only one haha. Ps. Congrats on your promotion!!!!

[@JennaHong]

Omg yes it’s truly bad but the routine thrives when I have the same stuff 😂😂 you get it

[@billiehicks6587]

Love the way your hair turned out❤.

[@JennaHong]

Thank you 💖

[@shelbycazan6701]

I wfh 100% of the time and I’m obsessed with making crispy chicken wraps for lunch. I also like having either a Greek yogurt bowl or overnight oats for breakfast. I’m not a big breakfast eater and I don’t eat breakfast until like, 10a.

[@JennaHong]

Omg YESS I loveeeee crispy chicken 🥹

Great video ❤ Have a good weekend!!

[@JennaHong]

Thank you so much you as well 💖

[@rachellenale]

You ran how many miles?? That’s amazing! You got me into running again but I’m still working on building my endurance up. Right now I’m running 30-40 minutes without stopping. What do you use to track your miles?

[@JennaHong]

Half marathon training at the end since it’s this weekend 💖 and I use strava and my Apple Watch! Yessss building endurance means keeping that heart rate LOW! I tell myself long jogs make the most progress long term

[@rachellenale]

@@JennaHong thank you!!❤️

[@sbragdon212]

Especially in your current role, do you have work calendar or emails on your personal phone? Just curious as I work from home too in corporate retail.

[@sbragdon212]

Also, re: internet friends. I do talk about you with others and I say “my friend Jenna” cuz that’s a lot less awkward than “a girl on KZbin that I know more about than my own family” 😂 I’m in eastern NC so not too far either. Maybe one day lol finding friends in my 30s is hard especially working from home. I get the groceries. That’s my “going out” lol

[@JennaHong]

I do have emails and teams on my personal phone 🥳 and OMG that means the world YES IM YOUR FRIENDD your fav internet bestie and it means a lot that you follow my life and care truly 🥹💖

[@sabine.bennett]

Congratulations!

[@JennaHong]

Thank you💛

[@theequeenbeast2746]

YYyyesss, many companies give you only like a few months for the transition so it's wonderful that they gave you more, did you pursue this role?

[@JennaHong]

It’s so nice! And sort of yes! It’s important to voice what you want in your career

[@theequeenbeast2746]

@@JennaHong Indeed it is, so many people don't even think of the importance of learning new things while enhancing your professional level.

I feel seen…back to back meetings make me feel wild and drained 😂 coming for a supervisor, it will get easier.

[@JennaHong]

i'm like idk my NAME ANYMORE

[@converselovr]

Yes, I kinda give myself a 15 min “stare into the abyss” session to recoup. Block a little 15 min break for it. It helps too and otherwise someone will throw another meeting on your calendar.

[@Raşel-1923]

I used to grow my nails naturally when I was younger. But I stopped because İt made me uncomfortable. And I heard that lemon juice helps to nail’s healthy growing.

Hello Ms Jenna…❤

[@JennaHong]

Helloo💕

[@s.c.g.]

Hi Jenna, what does your BF do while you edit? 🤔 I’ve realized that after dinner is when I can work on my videos but I also want to spend time with husband. Sometimes I feel bad leaving him hanging because I need to edit - granted he has stuff he can do but I still feel guilty 🙈

[@JennaHong]

it's more so what do I do while he studies bc he's a second year medical student 🥲 that's a main reason why it works out with us. we always make sure to have no phones at dinner and take our time eating and spending time together. and then we work on ourselves

[@MrsDrJiggles]

Do you ever get sketched out about your co-workers (either managees or managers) watching your videos?

[@JennaHong]

No, I don’t really talk about my personal life at work but my close friends know and watch and I honestly don’t mind

[@2705cool]

Such a pick me girl

[@JennaHong]

Jeez 😓 I don’t think so but you’re entitled to your opinion of course.
