Trying (and Failing) to Be Productive at the ordinary | Productivity vlog Ep 1

  • 0:26 - 0:36
    My sink is full of unwashed dishes from days before
  • 0:36 - 0:44
    but that is neither here nor there for now
  • 0:45 - 0:53
    New routine: starting my day woth ginger shots
  • 0:54 - 0:59
    cheers
  • 0:59 - 1:08
    It's not strong which means I put less ginger
  • 1:15 - 1:21
    Back inside the empty fridge
  • 1:30 - 1:39
    The only way I can comfortably start this day is if i clear out the sink
  • 1:40 - 1:49
    Truly, does anyone know how to remove the stains from the chopping board?
  • 1:51 - 2:00
    How am I going to start my day if my burner is dirty?
  • 2:15 - 2:24
    My blender broke cos I was making the ginger shots
  • 2:27 - 2:37
    I bought this bowl for onions and fruits only... why???
  • 2:37 - 2:47
    sometimes I wish my house had more storage
  • 2:47 - 2:56
    That way, the counter would look more minimalist with my coffee machine🤗
  • 2:58 - 3:07
    Maybe one day , I'll stop bragging about my gift
  • 3:08 - 3:17
    but my life and time have been drastically changed by this
  • 3:18 - 3:23
    so i'll stay here for a while
  • 3:24 - 3:34
    for the first time in probably a year, or months, I'm having oats
  • 3:38 - 3:46
    I genuinely think that the chia seeds have gone bad.
  • 3:47 - 3:55
    they have a certain smell but i'll take the risk today
  • 3:56 - 4:04
    since I stopped eating oats, my raisins have been feeling neglected
  • 4:05 - 4:11
    let me not even get started on my almond flour
  • 4:12 - 4:20
    i'm watching sex and the city and these girls are hilarious😂
  • 4:26 - 4:35
    why did I even cut this orange like this??
  • 4:40 - 4:48
    My life in Kitui comprised of this breakfast- 3 years ago
  • 4:49 - 4:59
    because I stopped buying food in bulk, I'm forced to eat what I have left
  • 5:08 - 5:18
    I stopped sitting at my desk cos my tailbone hurt so much every time
  • 5:18 - 5:28
    Now that I'm not working, the couch could be better
  • 5:29 - 5:36
    I thought I should have added honey, but the oranges and raisins are ok
  • 5:37 - 5:47
    I bought a new pot and later realized that I didn't have soil
  • 6:15 - 6:25
    Welcome to the mess that I left when unboxing yesterday
  • 6:25 - 6:35
    This box contains my new ipad paper like covers
  • 6:37 - 6:42
    my soil less plants
  • 6:43 - 6:51
    It rained almost five days ago, why is this umbrella still here?
  • 6:51 - 6:59
    it is really things like these that make me wonder
  • 6:59 - 7:07
    If I have been busy or i'm just lazy
  • 7:14 - 7:24
    This stain is really irksome especially when I can find the solution on Google
  • 7:25 - 7:32
    I'm not sure I'll be buying a new chopping board anytime soon
  • 7:36 - 7:44
    As usual, get clean dishes from the dishwasher
  • 7:44 - 7:50
    My thing is finding fulfillment in the small things
  • 7:50 - 7:58
    Even when it looks boring or expected
  • 7:58 - 8:08
    more than seeing it as just a chore, i'd like us to find joy in the mundane
  • 8:10 - 8:19
    I wanted to make sweet potato wedges
  • 8:18 - 8:26
    but I realized too late that I had cut them into strips
  • 8:27 - 8:35
    I bought a new baking sheet and I thought it was like my old one
  • 8:35 - 8:43
    I'm cutting it into two to save some paper
  • 8:53 - 9:01
    I dont know how else to make this,
  • 9:01 - 9:08
    so I do what feels right
  • 9:11 - 9:19
    and throw it in the oven
  • 9:20 - 9:29
    and you might want to ask, 'Betsy, if it's sweet, why are we adding salt?'
  • 9:29 - 9:32
    but I like the taste😅
  • 9:32 - 9:40
    I saw my cousin posted an omelet and I got cravings so here I am
  • 9:42 - 9:50
    I feel like I have been eating this spinach forever
  • 9:52 - 10:00
    and I make so many only to end up with barely a handful
  • 10:03 - 10:10
    Here I am forgetting about my eggs 🤦🏾‍♀️
  • 10:11 - 10:19
    I almost forgot about the sweet potatoes as well
  • 10:20 - 10:29
    Now that I've become an ingredient only house, I am forced to cook
  • 10:29 - 10:38
    or order in but for financial reasons, I don't do that
  • 10:38 - 10:47
    ok so I was going all in on protein today.
  • 10:47 - 10:56
    cos i only had oats today with coffee
  • 10:56 - 11:05
    how am I going to eat again after this?
  • 11:06 - 11:15
    I've already spent a big part of the day binge watching
  • 11:17 - 11:26
    I've been putting off leaving the house for a while now
  • 11:26 - 11:32
    I'm not even changing, just putting on top of what I have
  • 11:32 - 11:41
    and the trash that desperately needs to be thrown out
  • 11:41 - 11:49
    I only have two hands?? how does this work?
  • 11:54 - 12:00
    I'm never putting this off again.
  • 12:00 - 12:06
    what about the glass bottles?
  • 12:08 - 12:16
    I put the bottles inside my tote bag. can you hear the jingle?
  • 12:17 - 12:22
    made it to the mall!! First activity; get some soil
  • 12:23 - 12:30
    it's at night so there's not many people
  • 12:31 - 12:38
    I could comfortable place my camera and walk around🙈
  • 12:40 - 12:48
    I also bought a plant supporter cos they tend to bend sometimes
  • 12:57 - 13:07
    came to Auchan and saw these wafers. ( I have been dreaming about them)
  • 13:08 - 13:16
    This is actually what I came to buy and it waas the last one
  • 13:16 - 13:22
    I contemplated hard but decided to go to the Asian store
  • 13:46 - 13:54
    I wanted to eat this badly in the tram but I'm back home
  • 13:55 - 14:04
    There was either strawberry or this milk so I'm not sure about the taste
  • 14:05 - 14:14
    it's actually nice, eating milk with milk
  • 14:14 - 14:23
    This ended up being my dinner
  • 14:26 - 14:31
    Am I up early or is it just a sunny day?
  • 14:31 - 14:34
    Probably not cos the sunrise is at 8:30am ish
  • 14:34 - 14:42
    I haven't opened my computer in forever and I need to check some emails
  • 14:45 - 14:53
    please pray for my tail bone😭
  • 14:53 - 15:04
    My productivity won't spike by sitting on this relatively comfortable couch
  • 15:05 - 15:13
    Yup turns out I still receive work emails
  • 15:13 - 15:19
    Even though I'm not going to work
  • 15:24 - 15:34
    This is such an uncomfortable position please
  • 15:38 - 15:45
    Why am I forgetting things?
  • 15:45 - 15:50
    chia seeds
  • 15:52 - 15:58
    I'm not sure what to have for breakfast, so I'm having the probiotic
  • 15:58 - 16:07
    it's sugar free so adding some jam
  • 16:15 - 16:24
    I'm pretty sure that this had gone bad but I can't see it yet soo
  • 16:25 - 16:30
    i have to finish it
  • 16:45 - 16:50
    so skip straight to lunch?
  • 16:50 - 16:58
    cut chicken into strips
  • 17:07 - 17:14
    Did I really eat the whole pack of wafers last night?
  • 17:22 - 17:29
    of course i'm hungry🤦🏾‍♀️
  • 17:29 - 17:37
    I've never made bok choy before so I'm honestly not sure what to do
  • 17:37 - 17:40
    scraping off the plastic
  • 17:40 - 17:49
    I've seen people putting it in whole? so i'll do the opposite?
  • 17:49 - 18:00
    I always see people waking up early and I get so much pressure sometimes
  • 18:00 - 18:11
    cos i've never been an early riser and my mom is probably right
  • 18:12 - 18:22
    I'll be poor if I sleep all the time. Guys, I dont want to be poor!!
  • 18:22 - 18:29
    I tried to wake up early without going to work and it didn't work
  • 18:30 - 18:38
    it's cold and gloomy and why should I ?
  • 18:38 - 18:46
    but I want to get comfortable doing the uncomfortable?
  • 18:46 - 18:55
    Channeling my inner Pepe Minambo 🧘🏾‍♀️
  • 18:55 - 19:03
    I made udon noodles 🍜
  • 19:04 - 19:09
    I'm out of toilet paper 🤦🏾‍♀️
  • 19:12 - 19:19
    so I'm going to try doing things that bring fulfillment
  • 19:20 - 19:27
    I'm really always trying to do things, aren't I?
  • 19:29 - 19:37
    I'm back from the supermarket and my house smells like food
  • 19:37 - 19:46
    why do I look so bulky with this coat on?
  • 19:46 - 19:54
    I bought enough tissue to last me a lifetime
  • 19:55 - 20:01
    some pineapples
  • 20:01 - 20:06
    bell peppers, kiwis,,,,
  • 20:07 - 20:12
    some period underwears from Lidl
  • 20:13 - 20:14
    more tissue
  • 20:15 - 20:21
    fish and more fish
  • 20:27 - 20:33
    Time to clean out my freezer
  • 20:43 - 20:49
    Diligently scraping the ice
  • 20:50 - 20:56
    I hope this video has reminded you that somehow,
  • 20:56 - 21:01
    lives are similar. Have a great weekend!🤍🤍
