STAYING PRODUCTIVE IN THE HOT WEATHER

-

Do you feel unproductive in this heat? me too, nothing these 3 cooling tips can't fix though.



Seeing school kids go home I'm transported back in time when I used to hate school uniforms during this hot season. The way my leather shores would cling to me and I would be all sweaty underneath my pullover. The worst part was not being able to study or do any chores let alone homework.

Here are the three tips you can use to cool off and be productive.

1. Hydrate and listen to your body



  • I don't even have to say it, but drinking water even when you're not thirsty is essential to cooling your body throughout the day and it reduces fatigue. Make a lemonade or an iced tea for sweetness.  

  • Eat light meals or snacks, eating heavy meals like Kota will make you sluggish, and it will have you in an instant food coma

  • Don't overwork yourself take mini breaks and use a breathing exercise.

2. Plan the day ahead



  • It's no surprise but planning your day will allow you to wake up early, to tackle high-energy tasks, anywhere before 10am.

  • At 6pm after dinner when it is cooler you can go for a light walk which can help you both digest your food and put in the daily steps goals. 

  • Sometimes the heat can be unbearable even at night, to stay cool take a relaxing bath and sleep with less clothing

3. Optimize your environment



  • The flies have been a nuisance lately the buggers started to bite too! so please clean and declutter your space, and open the windows and doors to let in the fresh air and natural breeze.

  • Use a fan to cool off, for a cheaper option set up your working station outside, find a shaded area, and make good use of the breeze.

BONUS TIP:  Take a vaskom and fill it up with water however much you want, sit down, and put your feet in there I promise you this is effective, you will cool down and enjoy whatever you are doing. This is my personal favorite, I used to do this while I studied outside.

We all want to feel like we achieved something by the end of the day, however, things like this heat can make us lose motivation, making use of these tips can help us stay consistent.

Spring cleaning your room can be made easy with this simple step-by-step deep cleaning plan. Let me share a practical guide with you so we can work together to declutter your rooms. 1. Wait For The Wind To Settle  Timing is everything when it comes to spring cleaning, especially during seasonal transitions. It also depends on where you live. I'm from Kasi , so yeah, wind equals plenty of dust. Cleaning while dust is swirling around is basically asking for double the work. 2. Strip It Down Removing dirty bedsheets. Take down your curtains, remove your bedding, and even pull out your clothes that need a wash. Getting the "soft-stuff' out of the way makes it easier to clean surfaces and corners without obstacles.  Nothing beats the smell of freshly washed linen in a freshly deep-cleaned room. 3. Open Those Windows airing out the room Fresh air does half the job for you. Open your windows wide to let the breeze push out stale air and give your room an instant lift.    4....

Embracing Life's Journey

Embrace /verb/ To accept readily or eagerly. Example: She embraced the journey willingly and with enthusiasm. The pashmina I'm wearing in the picture belongs to my mother; I sold it to her when I was selling Avon. Today, I went straight to her closet to find something to cover up with, and this little act reminded me of a time I was younger and the consequences of picking through her closet uninvited had me face-to-leather with the belt lol. During those times, I wasn't anxious. A trouble maker yes—but never worried. This past month and a half, I’ve been to and from my first-ever job. I’ve met some nice people, all older than me and experienced in both life and work. When I'm there, I clock in so focused on my job. There are times when I make mistakes with my orders and feel irritated at my co-workers due to miscommunication. I could go on forever about the working conditions, but I’ve learned to tell myself, You’re doing okay. Now I just go to work not because I want money...
