I love them! I think I am quite actually obsessed, hahah. But I can't find a better way to be productive. I make different ones. Sometimes I make them daily, when I know what I want to get done, then I wake up and write everything down. Or the other cases I make my weekly lists. Where I just write everything down that I want to accomplish this week and these things are depending. Also I have school list, where is all the things I need to do in school. They can be huge but then also small ones like for example, make a smoothie. I think you need to add small things as well because you have to award yourself. Because nothing in my opinion beats ticking things off your lists, specially handwritten ones. An d they keep you on track when they are visible to you.
* Books
I have started reading guys. I know it sounds cheesy, but...you what, it's been amazing. I have loved books since I've been like 12, but finding time to actually read...it is pretty hard to be honest. But right now, I realised that...When I am studying I am on my computer, when I wind down..I watch movies/TV shows from my computer, I chat with my friends on social media. And I just had to pick up a book...And gosh I had forgotten, how nice it is to disappear in a book, you are living like in the other person's life. And it has given me so much calmness. I started with "10 arguments for deleting your social media accounts right now" it opened my eyes even more and then I discovered a book called "Goodbye stranger" And now I am about to pick up "Again, again" And it has helped me a lot.
* Being grateful list
I started it at the second week of January and I have to say that it has made my days a bit better. Because every night (almost haha) I sit down and try to reflect on my day and to think what are the three things that made me happy that day. And it really is a small thing, but I think it makes things more important and it makes you reflect on your life a bit more. And makes you see joy in small things.
* Working out schedule + walking
I've always been that girl who is "We can walk there" but since the pandemic I have been even more mindful and trying to get most of my days "Daily dose of nature" in. And I have found it such a easy way to keep my body moving & explore. Also setting a working out schedule. Because at the moment I have lots of time I try to work out 4-5 times a week. But writing down the days and body part has made it so much better, like you know what is coming and keeps you more organised and motivated. I hate when you want to work out but you don't know exactly what to do. So create yourself a schedule!
* Week food list + shopping
Ohmygod, where has it been my whole life? I been I've been doing my food shop lists forever, but as I started doing full food lists...So 7 days, 3 meals a day + a snack. Yeaps, it sounds a lot! It is kinda, so it takes me about an hour to plan it all and think how much I have to make some foods etc. But I have found it so much easier. Because when I have the list...I go to the shops and buy everything for the week, so I don't have to visit shops anymore this week and I know exactly what I'll be eating and there is no more of that "oh what will I eat today?" thoughts. And I've found it easier with snacks, I haven't got really any carvings. And of course there will be days where you are out and about and you eat different foods, but then you can play few things around or move them to the new week.
*Podcasts
I know they are old and I've been listening them for years. But specially this year...I've been so done with basic music, so every time when I go somewhere or I walk I've realised that putting on a podcast keeps my mind happy. I've been choosing them as topics...What am I in mood of today? Friendships, finance, motivation etc. So I put them on as categorised, think actively alongside it or just listening some comedy ones, that my mind can have a break. Because it needs it more thank you can probably think of ;)
