A realistic and honest chat about getting back into a routine after a planner break | Hobonichi

Hi, friends! Thanks to everyone who voted in my poll on what video they’d like to see next. The topic of how I’ve been getting back into my regular routine (spoiler: I'm still not fully back to it!) after a break won. This is an honest and realistic reflection on what it has been like. I'll also be flipping through my planers to show you where I'm at with each of them. This has been a helpful exercise in prioritization, slow progression, and self-compassion. I’d love to know: what helps you get back into a routine after taking a break? Also, if you have any feedback or requests for future videos, please let me know! Thanks for being here; I appreciate you! 💗 To help you navigate this video, I’ve included timestamps below: 0:00 - Intro 0:32 - How I've Been Getting Back into my Routine 5:36 - Adjust my expectations based on past experience  9:39 - Focus on the highest priority 20:37 - Reminding myself of my long-term goals (especially when I have no motivation!) *** Contact info: gmail: littlecocostudio snail mail: Alison PO Box 91546 2343 Eglinton Ave W Toronto, RPO West Side ON M6E 0A2 Canada Thank you so much for being here! 💗  Due to my working schedule, I am unable to commit to a regular upload schedule, so please subscribe and turn on the notifications for when new videos upload if you’d like to see more from me :) NAME: Alison INSPIRATION: My rescue dog, Coconut. 🥥 EDITOR: me!
