5 mind-blowing Benefits of sticking to a Morning Routine

hey loves! 

I just got ready with my Morning Routine! Then i decided to sit down and write this blogpost about the benefits of having a Morning Routine, because right now i am feeling every single benefit! 

if you want to know what they are - keep reading girl boss. 

benefits of having a Morning Routine: 

1) Selfcare 

    I'm pretty sure that this is the most important part. In our daily life we need to take care of 

    so many things that we often forget the obvious: we also have to take care of ourselves! 

    I'm a strong believer of the thought that we should put ourselves on top of our priority list 

    every single day! Because if we don't take care of ourselves, no one will. We will not be 

    able to live life to its fullest and achieve everything we want if we are not taking care of the 

    person who needs to accomplish everything - US.

2) It calms you down  & reduces stress 

    When you take care of yourself you automatically do things that calm you down and by that you

    reduce your stress levels a lot! Doing this before doing anything als in your daily live will get 

    you ready for all the obstacles that will come in your way and you will be able to react more 

    calmly, patient and emotionally stable. 

3) You will be more productive & motivated  

     Another benefit is that you will be more productive and motivated. By thinking about the two 

     points I made before i guess it will be obvious why this happens. You took care of yourself, you 

     calmed down, you reduced your stress and are patient and emotionally stable. It makes you

     feel like now nothing can get in your way anymore - you can achieve anything!
     (read more about productivity)

4) You will have more energy 

     Often in our lives we feel like we just got no energy left to get out of bed and do life. It feels 

     impossible to do all the tasks that are needed. And i can tell you, 90% of the times the reason 

     for this is that we don't take care of ourselves. There is no energy left because we haven't charged 

     our batteries since weeks. There were so many things to do that we just had no time for this.

5) You will gain time 

     This may sound a bit strange.. you spend more time on your routine and you still gain time?

     yes! It is simple. You practice selfcare, you declutter your mind, you get ready for the day and so

     on. You will be less distracted and more able to focus when you start your work tasks, this causes

     that you work much faster and be ready sooner! You would want to renounce this? 

Okey girl, that's it for today. Stay tuned for ideas for your morning routine and how to wake 

up earlier! I hope you have a nice day, see you on Monday. 

Love, Sarah 

10 helpful Tips to make Productivity become your Superpower

hey loves! 

after telling you how to plan your goals - i thought that explaining to you how you can make productivity become your superpower would be a great idea!

i heard many people talking about the fact that they got goals.. maybe they even got a great plan and still they are not actually achieving it.
you may think there is too much to do, you ain't got enough time which ends in procrastination and will leave you disappointed of yourself.. the list is endless. but good news! this is the point where productivity comes in.
to me productivity means:

• doing the most you can to achieve your goal 
• in the smallest possible amount of time 
• while still feeling happy and not burning out  
• enough time left to rest and recover 

storytime: i remember a time in my life where i were really motivated for school. it was around one year before my graduation at high school and i just wanted to get good grades and stuff. so i started learning day in - day out. but after a few days i stopped. because nothing i did really lead me to anything, i felt so drained. i were spending hours just to go to bed stressed out and wake up stressed out again. i was just not working productive. 

so here are my 5 best tips on how to work productive: 

1) Set goals and know your priorities: 

    I see a lot of people setting to many goals or to many tasks for one day. Also writing things down 

    that they don't want to achieve full-heartedly and this is a big mistake. Only go for a goal you

    really want to achieve. Look at your to do list/goal list and cut everything out that does not need 

    to be done today/this month/etc. I don't mean to give up your goals, but don't go for to many at 

    one time. This will not lead you to accomplish anything. 

2) Create a morning routine and stick to it 

    This may sound like a senseless thing but still I'm sure you have heard about it many times. I am  

    definitely going to create a blogpost on this one but for know: if you have your own morning 

    routine every single day it will set you for the day. You will be a lot happier, motivated and 

    inspired. It gets you ready to conquer the day! 

3) Set Timelines

    I guess your first thought at this one will be something like: NO this will just stress me out even 

    more. Trust me, i get you! Don't set timelines with this forcing undertone they give you. Set them 

    like a nice reminder that now is the time you will finish your next task, this is a happy thing! If you

    use them with the right mindset they will motivate you to get everything done. 

4) Simplify 

    This goes in handy with the first Tip. Look at your to do list - are there senseless things? are there 

    things that don't really need to be done (today/this week)? if yes - cross them out. You don't have 

    to do too much, we don't want you to burn out, girl. 

5) Motivation & Inspiration 

    When you are constantly motivated and inspired working for your goals will seem a lot easier and 

    achievable. A Blogpost on how to keep yourself motivated and inspired is going to come soon! So 

    don't forget to subscribe and check in, if you don't want to miss this. 

6) Take breaks 

    Yes on the first look breaks will seem like something that will only waste your time. "But 

     meanwhile i could have achieved this and this and this..." oh girl i can already hear you. But 

     taking small breaks around the day every now and then will charge your batteries and help you 

     give your real potential to every task! 

7) No distractions and no multitasking

    I guess this one is self explainable. Both things just keep you from focusing all your energy on the

    task you are doing right now. Put your phone on silent, turn out notifications. 

8) To do list 

     This one is also clear. It will keep you from forgetting what you need to do. And trust me, it's an 

     awesome feeling to cross out the task after finishing it. 

9) Get enough sleep

    Being tired will just keep you from living and working to your full potential. Wake up every 

    morning refreshed and fulfilled with energy - you will see a great shift in your productivity. 

10) Get up early

      It may take you some time to get there but it will be so worth it! I wake up everyday at 5:30 am

      and first it gives me the chance to have a nice, long and energizing morning routine that will 

      prepare me for the day. And second it is just an amazing feeling to know that you are working

      for your goals while everyone is still sleeping or just got up drinking a coffee.

That's it for today girlbosses. I hope I could help you with this one! If you got any ideas or questions: feel free to contact me at any time, i'm happy about every message it get. 

Also stay tuned: my next blogpost about the benefits of a morning Routine will be coming out on Friday!

4 Steps to creating a Goal Planner that will help you reach everything

hey loves!

one of the most important parts to live life to it's fullest is to plan ahead!
you got a goal? you got a vision? you are passionate about your goal? you are motivated?
but still there is something stopping you, you are not even getting closer to achieving your goal?
well, i guess i spot the problem, girl.
nothing will work without a damn good plan, trust me at this one.

storytime: 
since years i thought about starting my own blog. and some days i were really motivated - so i got out of my bed, set down at me laptop and said: now i'm gonna do it! made up an email acc., made my blogspot - without understanding even one feature & not even near knowing how to design my layout. 
i would post some "about me" stuff and than wait for the page views to BOOM.. well guess what: they certainly did not! i'm sure you are smiling at me know, why should they boom? what were i thinking? 
well, let me tell you my problem! i wanted to start a blog, i was motivated, i had a vision.. 
but i had no plan. i did not know where to start, what to do first and second, actually i knew nothing.

steps to making a plan that works: 

1) Write down your goal. Describe every single detail about what you want to achieve.
2) Then write down why you want to achieve it, why do you got this passion for your goal?
3) Now choose a Deadline - when do you want to achieve this goal? It does not need to be an exact date but just like the month, the week, something like that.
4) Now this one i like the most! Start to think about the different steps to your goal. Do you need to do some research? Stuff like that, write it down and try to keep it in order. first step, second step, and so on.

take your time doing this so you don't leave out any important details. also think about how much work you need to put into it. is there anything else in your life that needs your time? school, college, work? consider this while planning.

so thats it for today, good luck planning & don't forget to tell me how it went!
