it’s definitely hard to manage and balance our time. we all want to have a good amount of sleep, to have enough time for ourselves and the people around us, and to still have the ability to be productive and get as much stuff done.

and when we talk about time management, the first thing that definitely pops in our head is to have a good planning system. it doesn’t matter if it’s the traditional pen and paper planner or the digital ones. what’s important is that we get to schedule our time and make use of the twenty-four hours we have in a day. 

today, planners are not the only tools we use anymore. using timers have been really popular these days. it helps you track how much time you spend on a single task which could help in planning your day more effectively. personally, i use an app called Flipd and it really boost my productivity. i use it not only for studying, but for everything else like meditating and tracking my screen time. it’s just recently that i bought a physical timer. 

we all have different ways of managing our time and doing our tasks. some maybe more productive at day time and others would prefer working at night. there are also days where we wouldn’t feel as motivated as other people, and it’s fine. a little progress is still a progress. don’t pressure yourself to study or work just for the sake of ticking off the check box on your list. keep in mind that this is not a race or a competition. get things done on your own pace. you’ll eventually get there.

Taurus! ♉

So true

me very aggressively complimenting the signs

Aries- You have so much passion for the things and the people you care about that it is SICKENING. You’re so goddamn DETERMINED to meet your goals it is absolutely fucking admirable. You were BORN to be a leader whether you’re leading others or taking control of yourself. You’re not afraid to do what needs to be done because you have the fucking strength. You bring people TOGETHER. You have BIG SHORT PEOPLE ANGER ENERGY and it will get you FAR. You WILL accomplish the things in life by continuing to be your CONFIDENT and BADASS SELF. FUCK

Taurus- You are the definition of a RELIABLE HUMAN BEING. You are the rock that so many people need in their lives. You’re so fucking devoted to any task thrown your way. You make life problems YOUR BITCH. You do this by enduring all the garbage that gets thrown at you and wading it out sometimes based on pure goddamn stubbornness and you come out the other side with a BIG BAG OF ACCOMPLISHMENT and a MIDDLE FINGER IN THE AIR. Even when you want to give up you DON’T because you’re a responsible PIECE OF SHIT with GLITTER ON TOP and I love that.

Gemini- FUCK GEMINI HATERS. Some may call you two-faced, real ones know you are ADAPTABLE. You are fucking CHAMELEONS. You were the person in high school who had friends in ALL different friend groups. You are truly a gentle person with a curious heart, do you fucking hear me. You have the ability to reach so many people with your WIT and CHARM. You’re not afraid to take off your mask in front of people which makes you that much more RELATABLE. PEOPLE AREN’T ONE-DIMENSIONAL SO YOU SHOULDN’T GET FLAK FOR IT. Direct me to the Gemini haters, let me roundhouse kick them real quick. 

Cancer- You have the BIGGEST HEART and your ability to make others feel comforted in their time of need is EXQUISITE. Those closest to you know you will defend them to your LAST BREATH because you are loyal as fuck. The way you can find even the smallest things to be important or sentimental is VERY TOUCHING. You’re like a $100 8 oz piece of medium rare filet mignon covered in a sugary honey garlic sauce, SWEET and TENDER, SHIT. You can empathize with just about everyone, even those who have wronged you because you really are just that fucking PURE.

Leo- I would very much LIKE TO BE AROUND YOU. Not only do you know how to light up a room but you can FUCKING keep my ATTENTION. You absolutely know how to dominate a conversation, teach me how, you are a goddamn NATURAL. The CHARISMA, it OOZES, sometimes when you don’t even realize. You are the person others go to when they need a good cheering up. You know how to make a person laugh under any circumstance, you fucking wizard. If you were in a movie you’d be the hot one and also the comic relief and also the main character who everyone loves, holy SHIT

Virgo- You very much should receive the RESPECT that you fucking DESERVE. You put in the WORK, bitch, you know how to fucking GET SHIT DONE, bitch. People may misunderstand you for being cold, but in reality you just know how to put your own feelings to the side in order to do the task at hand, and do it with PERFECTION, because you are so fucking detail-oriented, you never miss a single fucking BEAT. You would be the person to find a cure to the zombie apocalypse in less than a fucking week. You can get things right even on your first try because you’re EXTREMELY FUCKING CAPABLE.

Libra- You aren’t afraid to put your faith in others and THAT is what makes you so fucking LIKEABLE. You are humble while still remaining STRONG and true to WHO YOU ARE. People fucking love you because you know how to view a situation from all sides because you have an OPEN MIND and an OPEN HEART. It is truly disgusting how amazing and rare that is, you fucking gem. YOU GODDAMN PERSONIFICATION OF GRACE. How are you able to fight for the things you believe in all while remaining sympathetic to all, it’s beautiful. YOU ARE FUCKING LOVED, UNDERSTAND THIS. 

Scorpio- You are the person who your friends would go to when they need to get rid of a body because you’re that fucking TRUE and FAITHFUL to the people you LOVE. Not only would you get rid of the body, you’d also know how to do it with 100% certainty you’d never get caught because you’re so damn resourceful. Is this morbid as shit? MAYBE, but you don’t care because you’re the FUCKING COOL ONE. You are a FIERCE BITCH who people close to you LOVE and your enemies should FEAR. Never underestimate yourself because you have the PASSION and the CUNNING to get through all fuckery. 

Sagittarius- If I had to sit on a 30-hour long flight with someone, it’d be you because you would be SO FUCKING FUN TO TALK TO. You truly do not give a SHIT what other people think about you and it allows you to speak your mind freely, it’s so fucking amazing. Your love to travel and learn new things makes you INTERESTING as FUCK and you know how to put anyone in a good fucking mood. You make people feel INCLUDED. Your thirst for adventure is CONTAGIOUS, I would like to explore the inside of the earth with you, fucker. You are a prime example of WALKING the FUCKING WALK.

Capricorn- You know how to get the most out of literally ANYTHING, if you were given enough popsicle sticks and glue you could probably build a second fucking Golden Gate Bridge. You KNOW what you want and you know how to fucking get it. Your mind is SHARP AS FUCK. You have so much discipline and self-control you could probably become Lord Commander of the ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD and you’d be fucking GOOD AT IT. You are a goddamn force to be reckoned with in both your personal and professional life because you take yours AND others’ mistakes and learn from them, it’s fucking BRILLIANT.

Aquarius- The world is your fucking OYSTER, BITCH and you are ready to mold it into what it needs to be. You are CREATIVE, you are INNOVATIVE, you are a fucking VISIONARY. People love you because they know you give a shit about them because you SHOW them. You don’t fucking tolerate those who hurt others and people ADMIRE YOU FOR IT. You aren’t afraid to be your own fucking person and that spans from how you think to how you act to how you look. IT’S ABSOLUTELY FUCKING ALLURING. You help others feel comfortable in their own skin when they’re around you without you even REALIZING. 

Pisces- You are a GODDAMN PIECE OF ART. You are the type of person who would fucking die to save a stranger. You are deeply connected with your emotions and because of this you are able to create ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE FUCKING THINGS, not to mention it allows you to really connect with others. People from all different walks of life get drawn to you because you’re SO FRIENDLY. WE ALL WANNA BE YOUR GODDAMN FRIEND. You see the beauty in the mundane. Describing a personality like yours would turn into fucking POETRY. YOU ARE A SOFT PIANO SONG.

Level Up Project 2020: #3 The Body

You can not fully level up, if you do not level up how you take care of your body. Our bodies do so much for us and we must fuel it with the food and exercise it needs. You are doing this for you. There are two main benefits to starting this journey of leveling up how you take care of your body. First, you are going to feel unstoppable and be more energized. Second, you are going to look great, and have the body you’ve always wanted. Being healthy will give you that automatic glow that nobody will be able to resist. Nothing will ever beat the satisfaction of knowing you are taking great care of your body. Taking proper care of your body is one of the greatest acts of self-love. Below I’ve listed some things you can start doing to begin living your best healthy life.

First, you must change your mindset: Decide now that this is not going to be a two week or one month diet, this is now your new lifestyle. It is not going to be easy, and this journey is going to require a lot of determination, focus, and discipline. Do not give yourself the option to quit or to give up. Tell yourself that this time you will see change and progress.

Plan & journal: Before you start changing your lifestyle, you must plan. Decide and write down what times of the day you are going to be eating, how frequently you are going to cook, how many meals you are going to have in a day, and if you want to start meal prepping. This journal is going to be your health journal where you are also going to create a grocery list, a backup plan for when you don’t feel motivated, and quotes or things that motivate.

No more junk food: It is time to stop consuming junk food. You are not trash so stop feeding your body trash. Junk food are foods that are processed and unnatural (white carbs, fast food, candy, etc.). If you do not give up junk food or lower how frequently you eat them now, you will pay for it in the future. It is okay to cheat once in a while but cheat in moderation. Eating too much junk food is linked to high cholesterol, heart disease, obesity, cancer, type two diabetes, and more. 

Start consuming mainly whole foods: Whole food means foods that are barely processed or refined and contain a lot of nutrients that our body needs. Make your diet include vegetables (spinach, carrots, etc.), whole grains (whole grain rice and bread, etc.), legumes (beans, corn, etc.) and fruits (apples, grapefruit, etc.). Find your favorite whole foods and stick to them.

Make protein your best friend: First make sure you are consuming the proper amount of protein for your body (it is possible to eat too much protein so double check with your doctor). Always make sure you are getting a good amount of protein. Protein does not only keep you full for a longer amount of time, but it also helps build muscle and muscle burns fat. Include lean meats, fish, yogurt, and eggs in your diet.

Eat more fruits & vegetables: Fruits and vegetables are packed with the nutrients our bodies need. Try to consume at least one fruit or vegetable with every meal you eat. Forming little habits like this will benefit you greatly in the future.

Healthy snacking: Create a list of healthy snacks you can eat when you are hungry, after or before a meal. Snacking will help sustain your appetite so you do not overeat when it is time to eat your main meals. Try to aim for 2-3 snacks a day.

Avoid eating 3 hours before bed: Do not eat or snack 3 hours before going to bed, because that slows your metabolism and makes it harder for your body to digest food which leads to weight gain.

Drink 3 liters of water a day: Try to carry a 1 liter water bottle around with you to help keep track of how much water you are consuming. You can also download water drinking reminder apps to help you remember to drink your water. Water helps remove waste and toxins out of your body, regulates body temperature, gives you healthy skin, prevents constipation, and more. (TMI: if your pee is yellow or light yellow, that is a sign that you are not drinking enough water)

Exercise 150 min. a week: As much as some don’t like it, our hearts and our bodies need it. Decide what type of exercise you need according to your goals by doing research (weight training, simple cardio, HIIT, ab workouts, or glute workouts) and try to aim for working out 150 min. a week. To ease into working out, you can start out with 10 min. and each week, new month, or when it gets easy for you, increase by 5 min. or 10 min. 

Get 7-8 hours of sleep & have a bedtime: Our bodies need rest. If our bodies do not get the rest it requires it will be more difficult to remember things, we will not be able to function properly, it can ruin our moods, and even cause us to gain weight. Make getting 7-8 hours of sleep one of your top priorities and make sure you are not sleeping too late by setting a bedtime. 

Listen to your body: If you are hungry, eat. If something upsets your stomach or causes you to bloat, stop eating it. You need to start treating your body like it is a precious baby, take care of it and listen to it. It is your temple, your machine, please treat it well.

Herbal tea & Vitamins: Drinking natural tea (ginger, green, peppermint tea)  has many benefits for the body, try to consume tea second thing in the morning (after drinking water first), or before bed. Some natural teas are known to lower cholesterol, fight cancer, detoxify the body, and more. Taking vitamins at a set time daily is also essential (double check with your doctor on the brand and do research before). Multi-vitamins are known to boost your immune system, improve skin, lengthen your hair, and strengthen your bones and nails.

Cheat meals & rewards: Please refrain from having cheat days because it may cause you to relapse. Try to have 1 or 2 cheat meals a week as a rewards for eating well and working out the entire week or just because. This is the only time it is acceptable to eat junk food, because lets face the facts, junk food tastes good. If you do not want to reward yourself with food, shop! If you’ve been maintaining a healthy lifestyle for an entire month, purchase that expensive purse you’ve always wanted! Hard work deserves rewards.
