Which of these strategies will you give a try? Let me know what you found useful in your life so far to help you stay productive. 🙌😊

[@AETacts]

I think I will try planning my day the night before. I've done that in the past before big events and it was helpful, but doing it before regular days would be helpful as well, I'm sure

[@Jaythecook]

"Your health is your wealth "❤❤

[@lauriexwang]

Absolutely! And our health is so precious to help us do what we love ❤️

[@simonalexandero]

Living an intentional life by reflecting what is worth pursuing, that is the basis for everything in life. 🙌

[@lauriexwang]

Absolutely, intention is everything 🙌

[@delvv81]

Thanks for the video ! For future videos where you list things like this, would it be possible to add them as time stamps in the video ? These are points I think would be useful to revisit especially when trying to build new habits. The time stamps would help with focusing on specific points! 1. Manage your dopamine 1:00 2. Evening Routine 2:44 3. Mindfulness Meditation 3:47 4. Be Intentional 6:19 5. Healthy Daily Habits 7:40

[@lauriexwang]

Noted! And thanks for helping to put the timestamp for this video 🙌❤️

[@ainsopian687]

I really loveeee short, straight forward and impactful video like thisb❤ very easy to digest and learn during my leisure time.

[@lauriexwang]

That's wonderful feedback and thank you for letting me know :-) More videos like these coming 🙌

[@Loveofmylife2]

[@lauriexwang]

That’s great and recognition of this is the first step. I’m really glad to hear that you are making changes for the better 🙌❤️

Fantastic and glad that these tips are helping ❤️

[@Success_here_and_now]

Thank you Laurie 🎉❤ for being the best version of yourself

[@lauriexwang]

Thank you for being part of the community who are redefining what success means to you ❤️🙌😊

[@Nisaha68]

This video really made me reflect on my habits. I’m trying to build more discipline and your advice feels practical and doable. Thanks for sharing this

[@lauriexwang]

Building discipline is such a powerful step, and it’s great that you’re taking the time to reflect on your habits-it’s where real change begins. Remember, small, consistent actions can lead to big results over time. Celebrate every step forward, no matter how small it feels, because those are the moments that build momentum.

[@aymen5206]

Thank you so much, i really appreciate what you do for the comunity. just keep up

[@lumachinomenolattola]

I know it's completely off topic but I LOVE your accent

[@lauriexwang]

Aww you are so kind! It's funny because I now have a weird British-American mixed accent after living in London and New York. Maybe I now sound South African? 😁

[@AETacts]

I always look forward to your videos ❤

[@AETacts]

I tend to listen to your videos twice (at least). Once to just get a good foundation for what you are saying. And again to decide my takeaways from it

[@AETacts]

I've been pairing higher dopamine things with lower dopamine things based on your recent video about pairing challenges with rewards in order to get things done. Like, I'll watch a drama while washing dishes or doing laundry. Helps me get both done. Or I'll be like "I van play my mobile game for 5 min if I get xyz done." It's been helpful

[@lauriexwang]

Thank you and I am so glad to know that ❤️🙌

[@lauriexwang]

That’s great and sometimes we just might need a few times to digest the content. I do that myself with podcasts that I like ❤️

[@thakorkartik822]

You're Backkkk 🎉❤

[@lauriexwang]

I am! It’s good to be back, been a hectic January and hope you are well 🙌

[@dinabaxter5393]

What you said about dopamine is eye opening and will be monitoring that in my life too.

[@lauriexwang]

I'm glad it was helpful and it's something that changed the way I work with more focus and less distractions. 🙌😊

[@DoctorSoyemi]

Health is Wealth 😊

[@lauriexwang]

Absolutely 🙌🙌always 😊

[@DeepuckRamchurn]

Glad you found it useful! Thanks for letting me know ❤️

[@alaminjuma]

First comment. Thank you siz for all the advice you give

[@lauriexwang]

Great to have you here and grateful that you found the advice on this channel helpful 🙌

[@DEBTFREEMIKE769]

There she is. Was wondering where you went👍🏻

[@lauriexwang]

Great to be back! 🙌😊

[@ithinkthereforeislampodcast]

If I check my phone first thing in the morning, I always feel like garbage. Almost like I’m moving through mud.

[@lauriexwang]

Yep that's exactly how I used to feel. I'm glad you resonated with this too.

[@ardix7712]

It is quite hard. I am currently still getting over some regrets and trying to move on. And constantly stuck at "what if" circle I try to stay in my comfort zone like watching serials etc as much as I can because the more important activities require a lot of energy and do not bring me dopamine straight away

[@lauriexwang]

Thank you for sharing your feelings so openly. Moving past regrets and breaking free from the "what if" cycle is definitely tough-it takes a lot of courage and self-compassion. Perhaps starting small-just one step at a time-can help. Even a tiny action toward something important can build momentum and slowly shift the balance. Be kind to yourself in this process. Progress, no matter how small, is still progress. You’re doing your best, and that’s enough.

[@laguirre94]

I'm starting meditation. Wish me luck 😊

[@lauriexwang]

That's amazing! Looking forward to hearing about how you get on 🙌🧠

[@ThePhilosophyOfNature]

Thank you Laurie. I'm trying James Clear's advice on habits, and all I can focus on is the far, far future. (That's when Elon starts sending third-generation Starships to Mars on a regular basis!)

[@lauriexwang]

That's great, and I can't wait to hear about your progress 🙌😊

[@LifeUnfiltered-Raw]

Today, I deleted my Instagram account. Tomorrow, my Facebook. Taking control of my life and personal political views. Managing my dopamine.

[@lauriexwang]

I think moderation helps instead of going cold turkey to help your body and brain adjust. Thanks for sharing your experience 🙌

[@livingdfaith]

I love your videos. My channel is gradually growing and i love your strategies. I'll keep improving. ❤ New KZbinrs gather here

[@lauriexwang]

That's amazing to know and thanks for sharing your story here! ❤️

[@Mazomania]

Life is horrible. I can't sleep properly and my emotions are completely shut down, so there is no Hope for me.

[@Beaut1fulC]

Thats not true...where there is life there is always hope but dont put your hope in yourself only God...reflect on the small things you can change to sleep better as a start! Things can change for the better🎉

[@lauriexwang]

I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. It sounds like you're carrying a lot, and I just want to remind you that even in the darkest moments, you’re not alone. Things may feel hopeless now, but that doesn’t mean they always will be. Even the smallest steps-like talking to someone you trust, reaching out for support, or just allowing yourself to rest-can make a difference. You matter, and your feelings are valid. Please be kind to yourself and don’t hesitate to seek help. There’s always a way forward, even if it doesn’t feel that way right now. 💙

[@DoctorSoyemi]

Here now 😊

[@lauriexwang]

Hope you enjoyed the video 🙌

[@DoctorSoyemi]

@@lauriexwang Yes! I did

[@gelex911]

I'm struggling every day 😢

[@lauriexwang]

Really sorry to hear that. Which area do you struggle with specifically? ❤️

[@gelex911]

@lauriexwang sleep deprivation, draining all my energy

[@PieTo-d6c]

[@Mmmmchocolate]

Oh I’m productive. I work like a dog. Doesn’t get me anywhere though.

[@lauriexwang]

Maybe it’s time to reevaluate what I mentioned in #4 intentions really helps you find a worthy goal to pursue rather than just being busy ❤️🙌

[@Mmmmchocolate]

@ yep, just have so many responsibilities, mouths to feed, and intentions, what I thought were worthy goals, is what got me here. 😂 Just hasn’t worked out like I thought it would. Even the best of plans and dreams and intentions get blown up by real life.
