Life with Jessi 101

Working from home has become very popular since the pandemic hit, it is still popular now with things going back to normal. I’m at a 50/50 with whether I rather work from home or work in an office. I would love to have a designated office at home but I have a hard time not shutting off my laptop at 5 o'clock, so working from home is a challenge in that aspect. If I had an office I could just shut the door at a certain time to refrain from over working. That's the plus side to working at the office. I come home, plug in my computer, and don’t touch any office work till the next morning. But when it comes to having a work from home day here is my routine, babes!  7:00 a.m. Wake up and start typical morning routine 8:30 a.m. Start in on the work day  I first check my email and reply to any necessary messages and send any new messages.  Then I go right in on the to do list, starting from what needs done first. I typically take a break for lunch around 11:30 a.m. Monday aftern...

Productivity is defined as the state or quality of producing something. Productivity for me is having intention throughout the day. Now I might have the intention to take an easy day and watch Netflix all day after a long week, and that is completely okay! Some people think productivity is getting things done every single day, not taking breaks, or being busy busy busy. I am here to tell you no that is not productivity. Here are my top five ways of helping me have the most productive week.  Have a routine set in place for each day. Mix it up a bit each day so you don’t get bored. Set time blocks. Such as a 2-hour window to focus on work or homework, an hour to do something creative, and forty-five minutes for self-care. The possibilities are endless.  Spread out to-do list items throughout the week. This will prevent burnout and last-minute stress.   Plan self-care and days off each week. Planing this each week will help burnout and procrastination.  It is okay ...
