25. 1:06really that important like would your
26. 1:08day be all over the place without it
27. 1:11honestly yes without my routine I'd be
28. 1:14lost having a plan for the day keeps me
29. 1:17focused and actually makes me feel
30. 1:19relaxed it's funny people think routines
31. 1:22are boring but I think they're the
32. 1:23secret to staying calm and productive ha
33. 1:27I totally get that back in my student
34. 1:29days whenever I didn't stick to a
35. 1:31routine it was complete
36. 1:33chaos yes exactly my routine keeps me
37. 1:37organized but I add fun things to keep
38. 1:39it interesting so shall we jump right
39. 1:42into the details absolutely but before
40. 1:46we get started I want to mention that
41. 1:47we've prepared a free pdf with all the
42. 1:50key points from this episode it's packed
43. 1:52with tips and vocabulary perfect for
44. 1:54following along or reviewing later you
45. 1:57can find it in the description below yes
46. 1:59it's great if you want to take notes or
47. 2:01go back over Lucy's routine all right
48. 2:04Lucy take it
49. 2:06away okay so I start my day at 5:00 a.m.
50. 2:10I know it sounds early but trust me it
51. 2:12works first thing I get up and walk to
52. 2:15the bathroom still half asleep and I
53. 2:18brush my teeth Splash cold water on my
54. 2:20face and try to wake myself up 5 a.m. I
55. 2:25can barely open my eyes at that hour
56. 2:27does that cold water help you wake up
57. 2:29every time
58. 2:30oh yes the cold water shock is real but
59. 2:34it's surprisingly
60. 2:35refreshing after that I do some
61. 2:38stretches just to wake up my body a
62. 2:40little bit more stretches in the morning
63. 2:43that's dedication do you feel it makes a
64. 2:46difference
65. 2:48absolutely I'm not super flexible or
66. 2:50anything but even a few stretches help
67. 2:53get rid of the Sleepy feeling and make
68. 2:55me feel more relaxed it's kind of like
69. 2:58saying good morning to my muscle
70. 3:01next up is coffee I make myself a cup
71. 3:04and sit down to enjoy it this is when I
72. 3:06set my goals for the day I write down my
73. 3:09main tasks for school like assignments
74. 3:11or study sessions and I'll set one or
75. 3:14two personal
76. 3:15goals sometimes it's something simple
77. 3:18like practicing new vocabulary or
78. 3:20drinking more water that sounds so calm
79. 3:23and focused do you find it makes the day
80. 3:26feel easier having those goals
81. 3:29definitely it's like giving myself a
82. 3:31mini road map for the day plus if I
83. 3:33complete even half of my goals I feel
84. 3:36productive and with coffee in hand
85. 3:38you're ready to take on anything right
86. 3:41exactly coffee is like my morning
87. 3:43PowerUp once my coffee is finished I
88. 3:46head to the gym around 5:30 I try to
89. 3:49keep it simple some cardio like a light
90. 3:51Jog and a few weights nothing extreme
91. 3:55just enough to feel
92. 3:56energized love it I bet exercising first
93. 3:59gives you a big boost for the day it
94. 4:02really does on gym days I feel like I
95. 4:04can tackle anything and on days when I
96. 4:07don't go I actually feel a bit slower so
97. 4:10gym in the morning is officially the
98. 4:12secret to superhero energy something
99. 4:14like that it's the best way to start
100. 4:17fresh for sure after the gym I come back
101. 4:20home and jump in the shower then it's
102. 4:23time for my skincare routine cleanser
103. 4:25moisturizer and of course sunscreen
104. 4:28sunscreen is a must must even if it's
105. 4:31cloudy you're speaking to the skincare
106. 4:33lovers here do you feel like it's a
107. 4:35little self-care moment too absolutely
108. 4:39Skin Care in the morning feels like a
109. 4:41treat after that I make a quick
110. 4:43breakfast usually scrambled eggs with
111. 4:45toast and some fruit on the side a good
112. 4:48breakfast keeps me energized and focused
113. 4:51and it sounds delicious a great
114. 4:53breakfast some self-care I'm starting to
115. 4:56see why you're so productive thank you
116. 4:59once breakfast is done I grab my
117. 5:01backpack make sure I have everything for
118. 5:03school and head out the door my classes
119. 5:06start around 8:30 I have a mix of
120. 5:09lectures and group projects so it's
121. 5:10pretty packed I like to take notes and
122. 5:13ask questions it helps me stay engaged
123. 5:17that's so smart taking notes and asking
124. 5:19questions keeps you actively involved
125. 5:22yes plus asking questions makes
126. 5:26everything feel clearer and I remember
127. 5:28things better we get a few short breaks
128. 5:31so I usually review my notes chat with
129. 5:33friends or grab a coffee sounds like a
130. 5:36nice balance do you find that little
131. 5:38social break helps with the rest of the
132. 5:40school day definitely those small breaks
133. 5:43give my mind a rest and keep me from
134. 5:45feeling
135. 5:46overloaded when I get home it's time for
136. 5:48lunch I'll usually make something quick
137. 5:51like a salad with veggies and chicken or
138. 5:53some pasta cooking is actually relaxing
139. 5:55after school plus I like knowing what's
140. 5:58in my food yes cooking your own lunch
141. 6:01must feel great do you feel more
142. 6:03energized after a home-cooked meal
143. 6:06totally after lunch I clean up around my
144. 6:09apartment living alone means I handle
145. 6:11everything so I do a quick sweep put
146. 6:14things away and wash any dishes keeping
147. 6:17things tidy makes a big difference clean
148. 6:20space clear mind right that's actually
149. 6:22really smart just a little bit of
150. 6:24cleaning each day exactly and then I go
151. 6:28over my notes from class or start on any
152. 6:30assignments I have by evening I'm ready
153. 6:33for a break I make myself a nice dinner
154. 6:36like stir-fried veggies with rice or a
155. 6:38cozy bowl of soup after dinner I relax
156. 6:41with a show or read a bit it's my time
157. 6:43to recharge sounds so cozy taking that
158. 6:46time for yourself in the evening sounds
159. 6:49wonderful it really is then I do my
160. 6:53nighttime skincare routine cleanser
161. 6:56moisturizer and sometimes a face mask I
162. 6:59also take time to care for my hair maybe
163. 7:01with a leave-in conditioner or a serum
164. 7:04it's like a mini spawn knite I love it
165. 7:07yes it's my little ritual to relax
