Deep Work is a FANTASTIC book ♥ found it better than Digital Minimalism. Well worth a read

omg i loveeee your new keyboard so much ☺️✨ THE ASMR IS SO GOOD. i feel you on the shrinking attention span… it has been worrying me too! it takes me an entire day to plan one chapter and another few days to write it (not kidding!!) slow writer solidarity 😭♥️

16:20 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 If I were to rob a bank, do you think I'd be able to get a keyboard of my own in time before the authorities catch up to me? 🤔 Reels (as you said) are some of the worst things to watch when you're trying to manage time. A strategy that I developed in high school (?) was to avoid watching videos that were shorter than 10-15 minutes when on a time crunch. With longer videos, you're more aware of the time that you're spending watching stuff, so it's easier to keep track of time and call it off when things have gone on for too long. But Reels/Shorts/TikToks...you look away from the clock for two seconds, and two hours have passed. Haha

Omg that cat paw stretch was so cute lol. And loved the bookstore and Christmas montage :) the asmr of the new keypads was *chefs kiss*. Also really related to what you said about trying to prioritize deep work and minimizing context switching!! I feel so similarly. Also I love hearing all the other stuff you include in these vlogs too and I’m sure others feel the same way so hope that’s reassuring. Even when writing isn’t a huge part of your week, your vlogs r still amazing!! 🩷✨

I love your cow keyboard! It’s so cute! 🥹 And it’s so nice to see the inside of an Indigo! I’m obsessed with bookstores of any kind and I’ve never been inside an Indigo despite visiting Canada many times! How do you go in there without buying any books? 😂 There’s always more time later to make progress with your writing. I’m sorry it took me so long to comment. My birthday is on Christmas and things get kind of hectic! Congratulations on the new issue of Augur! I see RachelWrites has a story in there! 😍 Happy belated holidays and happy new year! 🥳🎉

HNY!! this is a wonderful vlog, your updates are so inspiring!! I was diagnosed with ADHD last year, and I'd recommend trying to find a routine/discipline that works for you, rather than you trying to 'fit into' a routine etc! But also, sometimes writing does happen in slow bursts! I hope you figure it out either way
