A TYPICAL DAY IN MY LIFE

By Sonya Octa - Monday, April 23, 2018

I have something a little bit different in this post. It's always fun to know how other people's live and learn new things from it. So, in this post let me share to you guys about my typical daily life. It just kinda normal day of my life. It's start on early morning.

WAKE UP AND WASH MY FACE

The night before, I always set the alarm for the next morning. So, I'm not waking up in a rush. Wake up then laying in bed for 3-5 minutes and get up afterwards heading to the bathroom. Go to bathroom to wash my face as my morning routine.

MAKE MY BED

After I wash my face, always, make my bed is a must. Everything should be organized. Every single thing that clean and organized just makes me happy.

MEDITATE

Morning and night before bed becomes the best time to meditate, in my opinion. Meditate with the calm situation and the fresh air just made my mind feeling much better. I have two favorites meditation app that I usually use. The first app is called "headspace" and the second one is "calm". Sometimes I use "headspace" and sometimes I use "calm". It's all based on what I really need the most at the moment. Between "headspace" and "calm", it has its own characteristic. Both of it are the best app. Doing meditation every single day just made myself so much better, the mind and the body.

JOURNALING

Journaling becomes my habit since about a year ago or more. It makes my life so much more organize, seriously. I've ever post about what's in my bullet journal on this blog before. So if you don't mind and curious about my bullet journal looks like, just click here to get there. Write down every single thing that I have to do for today, the next day or even the next month. It's so convenient and all you need (if you mind to start it) are notebook for the bullet journal, your ideas for the content and the most important thing, your intention to do it. Trust me, you'll never regret doing it.

DO THE LAUNDRY

This thing becomes one of my obligations. I do it like everyday. When I feel so bored doing it, to make it even more fun, I just play my favorites music. Music just brings the positive vibes and motivation into my life.

CLEAN THE ROOMS

Cleaning all the rooms in my house has becomes one of my obligations till now. My house has many rooms and I have to clean it like every single day. I feel so productive, lol.

BREAKFAST

My favs part! When I eat my breakfast, a cup of tea or coffee (based on my mood) always accompanied me. Eat my breakfast and chill for a while by listening to my playlists on spotify or watching my favorites YouTube videos. So you guys want to know my monthly playlist on spotify (which is I add some new song on and delete some on every month), so here's the link. But I remind you first, mostly about Korean songs.

YOGA AND WORKOUT

This part also becomes my favorite tho! ehe. I started doing yoga last year and thanks to yoga, you changed my life a lot. Usually, I do yoga every single day. But, on my busy day when I have no time to do yoga in the morning, I usually do it in the evening or before bed. It's not such a big deal, doing yoga is flexible about time. Yoga gives me so many benefits! Oh ya, after yoga (in the morning), I usually do workout tho afterwards. It makes my body even better and fresh in the morning for some reasons. I am super grateful doing it in my life.

MORNING SHOWER

Sweaty and sticky body after yoga and workout. Yep, the next thing to do is take a shower. What else. After take a bath my body feels so much fresh and feels like a new person, lol, kidding.

DONE SOME WORKS

I always try my best to make my day stay productive. I always double check about things that I've to done today and sort it out to the urgent one or not.

PREPARE TO GO OUT

When I have some schedule outside, I just need prepare everything before I go. Make sure that everything is in hand and nothing forgotten. Prepare the stuffs, make ups and clothes that I'm gonna wear.

AFTERNOON SHOWER

When I got home, I take a rest for a while then take a shower afterwards. It's so hot outside lately in my country. Super humid outside so it makes my body feels so uncomfortable with the humidity. It so sweaty, sticky and it drives me crazy, lol.

AFTERNOON CHILL

When I still have left time in the afternoon, I use my time to chill, fresh my mind and practice mindfullness for a while. I usually read an inspirational book or just listen to my favorites music.

GOT SOME WORK DONE (AGAIN) AND GO TO SLEEP

I still have another time to done some assignment. Yo, productive! Then, when I've done all my works, I'm ready to sleep. After a long day and tired, time to sleep. Before sleep, I do some stretch to make my body stay flexible and feels better. It gonna make my sleep so comfy. Better to sleep early and wake up early than sleep late and you'll wake up late. What you choose?

So that's all for the typical day in my life. I'd really love to share it to you guys. You know, it's not the best one, it's just the kind of normal life cycle. But I do really hope we can learn each other by reading it. Left the comment down below your comment about my post this time. Thank you so so much!

HOW TO STAY PRODUCTIVE EVERYDAY

By Sonya Octa - Saturday, February 24, 2018

Staying productive always becomes the most challenging thing for me. Productivity isn't about do many things that possible to do in your day, it's about making the right choices about how you use your time to do something more useful and work smarter. You can start it by make changes on your daily routine that can make it much easier to reach all your goals. So here, I have some tips to make your day stay productive. Let's check it out!

You can drafted the things you gonna do next day the night before. You just need to write down everything you gonna do the next day. Plan the day before is really important. The purpose of making a list is to keep you on track. Start doing the productive things right after you wake up in the morning. Wake up earlier than you usually do, so you can do more productive things in a day. Just try it first because it's really worth to try.

2. Eat Your Breakfast

It's really important to fuel your body since the morning. If you're not the kind of person who like breakfast or you prefer to do brunch then you have to try to eat your breakfast. I don't ask you to do it every single day if you're not like breakfast before. You can start it by trying to eat breakfast once twice a week. But, don't forget too add more day so it can be your daily routine and it's never bother you. You'll feel fine even much better by eating your breakfast every single morning. You'll got even more benefit when you eat your breakfast than when you're not. By eating breakfast every morning before you do your activities in a day, it's really give you energy to start your day. You can eat bread, cereal, fruits or just drink your milk. So, start from now try to eat your breakfast every morning.

3. Stay Hidrated

Water is really important for our body, for human body. Water is an essential. It's really really really really really important. Drink your water every single day. I reccommend you to drink your water in a water bottle. Drink using a water bottle will keep you on track how much water you've been drinking in a day. For me, I got so many good things when I drink water more in a day than before.

4. Get Organized

Organized your space will make you easier to keep you stay productive for your days. You'll never got distraction when everything around you organized. If you want to know more about organizing things and want to know how to be an organized person, then you just need to click it HERE. You can check my latest post about organizing.

5. Don't Force It

We're human, we're not always feeling motivated like all the time, right? Yes, sometimes we're not in the mood to do it and it's totally okay. You just need to take a break for a while and spend your time for chilling just for yourself to make yourself feeling better. It's kinda of self-love even you should do it for yourself. Don't just care to other people, you have to care yourself first even more because it's really important. So, when you ready, just go back and do what you need to do.

So that's it my five tips about how to make your day stay productive. You can start to practice it right now and I do really hope it can helps you a lot to improve your productivity in life. If you find yourself so much struggling to stay productive, try to make it as a routine and do it every single day. It will helps you a lot. Last but not least, don't forget to drink water before you start your day! ^^

HOW TO STAY ORGANIZED IN YOUR LIFE

By Sonya Octa - Monday, February 12, 2018

People are different. We have our own way to make our life happy, right? For me, become organize person is kinda of my one of happiness source. I realize that organization is really important. I'm organize person but I'm not 100% or totally organize. Nobody's perfect, right? Yeah, I make mistakes too and sometimes I forget things too but I try my best to stay organize. Organized my room, my college life, my daily life, even my life the whole things in life, literally. I'm tryna my best to organized everything related to my life. I got a lot of good things for being organize person. I'm become even more productive, learn about how not to waste my time and also the most important one is that it makes my life a lot happier than before, like a lot. So, here, I'd like to share about my tips about how to stay organized in your life and hope you'll enjoy it! Let's get into it.

1. Write Things Down

Writing and make list can makes me don’t forget things, what I need to do and what I have to do today also the next day. Because everytime I forget something I just need see on my list. Every person have their own style on make list. You can use paper to write down every single thing that you need to do today even in the future. The another one, you can use your phone or your computer to write down your list if you prefer using digital list than the common one. The last one I’d mention that you can use your planner to write down everything that you could forget. Whether your to do list for today, things you need to buy on the grocery store, write down the assignment you need done, your planning in the future, and many more things. Tips from me to stay motivated when write your to do list is write it use the colorful pen, because for me it will motivates me even more than use the black one. You can got the advantages by writing things all down. It helps you to declutter you mind from every distraction. It will prevents you from feeling overwhelmed. The another positive things you’ll got by write things down are it helps you to plan ahead and it helps you to coordinate your agenda with other activities.

2. Schedules and Set the Deadlines

After you write down everything you need to do, the next things to do are schedules it when you should do it and also don’t forget to set the deadlines. Setting deadlines will helps you to work faster and done your to do list real quick. For the tips that I recommend you is you need to break your goals into smaller steps. What I mean is you need set your small steps to make your goals achieved. Don’t forget to mark your calender, whether your desk calender; wall calender; phone calender; even your computer calender, it’s up to you. You’ll got the positive things by schedules your plan and setting your deadlines. It will helps you to establish a time frame and also makes you focus on your each goal. The another thing is it will helps you to feel motivated by keeping it on the track.

3. Eliminate the Unnecessary Things //declutter//

The next thing to do to make your life stay organize is by eliminate every single thing that unnecessary anymore. You need to choose things that is still important for you now and find what unimportant things then declutter it. Eliminate unnecessary things can helps you to reduce the distraction and improve your focus. Being minimalist is a good thing actually (I’m working on it tho right now). What I mean here, you can declutter everything in your life. Declutter your closet, your desk, things in your room, your books, your college or school things, your computer file, your phone memory, yeah everything. All you need to do is minimalism your things. Just leave the unnecessary things in your life.

4. Do It Now

All you need do to make it happens, just do it. Just do it now. You need do it now. Right now. It’s not tomorrow, next week, next month, next year but now. Do things as soon as you can or do it while you’re feeling motivated and aware of the urgency. If you in the situation that you feel so stress and don’t want to do it but you need do it because of the deadline, you just have to put things off. You have to put your stress off for a while without thinking and feeling about it. Then you just have to do it right away.

5. Put Things in Their Place

This one is really important. This thing will helps you to make your life more organized. Put thing in their place after you use or wear it. It will helps you to save your time and energy because you won’t constantly searching for things and won’t waste your time. You’ll got so much good things by doing it. Believe me, start it from now to put your things in their place and you won’t waste your time to searching for it, never. Put your thing in their place also will be able to easily differentiate between things that you need and things that you just need in the way. It will keeps clutter to a minimum, so your things don’t pile up.

6. Do a Routine as a Habit

Make your routine as your habit then it will makes your life even more and more organized. Do your morning and night routine every single day then make it as a habit for yourself. A good habit comes from a good person. A good person who can control and do things that he/she think will give a good impact for himself/herself. Start your own kind of routine from now. If you never do morning routine before, I recommend you to read my last month before about my 2018 morning routine, HERE'S THE LINK (just click it). Also, here I will share about some things that organized people usually do as their habit. So, here they are :

Get up earlier in the morning will make your time longer so you can do productive things even more.
Try meditate or have similar “me time” in the right time will make your mind stay healthy.
Try to eat healthy every single day; eat more fruits and vegetables; reduce drink coke and eat junk food. Sometimes it’s worth to try being vegetarian or vegan in a day, just try it.
Be honest. Be honest for yourself and also honest for the people around you. If you do the wrong thing you just need admit it that yes you fault and try not to do it again.
Don’t procrastinate is the most important thing and hardest to do, right? I know it right because I’m also still struggling with it and still make myself better on procrastination things. But you just need to try your best to stay motivated and don’t procrastinate things or you’ll waste your precious time.
Don’t forget to take care of your body. Your body is everything, right? Don’t be sick and stay healthy is really important. If you can take care of your body, you won’t have a problem on do so many things in your life. Don’t forget to workout, yoga, or any sport every single day eventho it’s just for minutes in a day.

7. Prepare

An organize person has the habit that they always prepare everything before they go or do it. Prepare every single things that needed to make your goals achieve whether it for today, the next day even in the future. For example, you’ll have a final exam next day, so what you need to prepare and to do today? Of course, you need study for the final exam. You need prepare until the small thing maybe you need found your study source from journal or book then you just need to search it. So, prepare everything before is really important, for the sake of goals achievement.

8. Delegate

Learn that it’s easier to keep the stuff you can’t delegate better organized. You can delegate some task to your friends, family or everyone related to you that can help you. Delegate some small task and you can do your bigger and more important task even better. Delegate an appropriate number of tasks based on the skill level of the person you’re delegating to is really important. Then, afterwards, you can show your appreciation for those who help you out.

Okay that’s it, things that I mentioned above about how to stay organized your life. My message for you is that you can control your own life, so try your best to make the best version of yourself. Find what works for you. There are so many tools and things out there but just find and use what work the best on you then make it work for you. I hope that it will so much help you on improving yourself and I would really happy. Xoxo!

I hope that it might help you to start your morning routine. Basically, I do my routine every morning. Doing such a morning routine much easier for morning person. By sharing this, you can figure out what things that can fit on yourself. You don't have to everything that I do in my morning routine. Don't even compare yourself to me or others because we have our own strengths and weaknesses. Just reflect to your own self what best for you and choose what you can do. Don't choose things that you even can do for yourself. It will helps you to know yourself more to because also it kinda find out what fit the best for yourself. If you've been done morning routine before you can add some things on your morning routine list. But for you who never done this kind of morning routine before and gonna try it for the first time, I recommend you to choose few things first that fit on you. You just have to proud of yourself by do them daily. My morning routine makes me even more productive and mindfull than before. Just focus on yourself!

So here's my morning routine for 2018 :

1. WAKE UP

I know, we need such a big struggle for waking up especially on the early morning. But I have some tips that maybe will work on you to wake up earlier.

Just set 1 alarm, no more. You'll get a better quality of sleep and I think it gonna work well because there is no back up alarm anymore.
Place your alarm on the place you hard to reach. Make sure you only can reach your alarm by walk. It gonna helps you to wake up, trust me.

2. DRINK WATER

Water is really important for our body, totally important. By drinking water, you'll got many benefit for your body. It's really good for your body and for the health. Usually, I drink 2 glass of water when I wake up in the morning. It will helps activate our internal organs. Drinking water also keep ourself to stay hidrated. So, start it from now, do it right now, drink water every single day.

3. CLEAN ROOM

After wake up is a must to make my room clean especially my bed aswell. Always clean my room before doing another activity in the morning.

4. WASH FACE

Wash my face every morning to keep my face clean and moist as well. Always do my skin care routine every morning. I usually use Clean&Clear deep action daily pore cleanser. It helps me to totally feeling awake.

5. BREAKFAST

Breakfast is my most favorite meal of the whole day. Yeah, I just really enjoy eat my breakfast and drink a cup of tea or milk. Listen to my favorite music while eat my breakfast too.

6. YOGA

The best part and the most favorite thing to do in the morning! Yoga is my favorite part of this morning routine. I do really love yoga. Basically, we can do yoga everytime and everywhere we want. But, the best time for yoga is in the morning. Exception when I'm in a rush or hectic time that I need to do something important I just skip this morning yoga and do yoga later in the afternoon or night time. It based on the condition that I have in the morning. I do really love doing yoga because it feels so relaxing and good for my body.

7. WORKOUT

After doing yoga I countinue to do workout. I want to burn my fat and of course to stay healthy every single day. Every people have their own version to do in workout. There are so many kind of workout practice in the internet. I suggested you to search it on pinterest and you'll find many workout inspiration there. Find what best and fit for youself.

8. TAKE A BATH

Being sweaty after workout is the best feeling in the morning. Yas, after workout of course I take a bath. It feels so refreshing my whole body and it feels so good. My another favorite part on my morning routine.

I hope you guys like it and can inspire you to start the morning routine. You can start it by do two habit first for a month and you can add another habit in the next month. Do what feels good for yourself, don't do what you don't like and don't compare yourself to others. Because every person is different, right? Keep the goals on your mind and keep your commitment. Hope you can make the best desicions for the whole day by starting the routine.

BUJO BULLET JOURNAL SETTING UP : LET'S MAKE OUR LIFE ORGANIZE

By Sonya Octa - Thursday, November 30, 2017

On this post I want to share about bullet journal or we can simplify it with “bujo”. I just set up my bujo for December. Bujo helps me a lot to make me organize and make my life even easier. Make simple layouts so I can keep in touch with it. I think if we make so many layout for our bullet journal gonna make us focus on many things and it’s not good tho. With the simple layouts that I made just make me focus on my goals for this month and I can easily track all of the things on my bujo. Then get the directions of what step I need to do next to accomplish my to do list and give a check list on goals that I’ve achieve so I can move forward.

Detail :

Monthly Spread
Weekly To Do List
Blogpost Ideas
Habit Tracker
Sleep Tracker
Monthly Goals
Journaling Page

Ok, for now I'm gonna explain on every layout content that I made for my bujo. Let's get into it!

First of all, on the first page month of December I have this. I usually called it monthly planner. Consist of 2 pages here, for a month planning outline. This layout make me easier to see my planning for a month. Be creactive as much as you can! Draw some doodles, sticker, or do some decor on your monthly spread maybe make you feel more inspire.

The second layout that consist of 2 pages too for a week is this weekly to do list page. So, basically on this weekly to do list layout consist of 4 weeks in a row so it's 8 pages all in. On this layout you can write your goals and your to do list on every week so it more detail. You can write anything you need to do every week and every day whether it on Monday, Saturday, Sunday or any other days. Add some doodles, stickers, or little picture on this pages too. Be creative! Especially on the goals page, it gonna make you enjoy on looking at them.

This is gonna be the most interesting part for me hehe. For the month of December I made habit tracker and it different from the months before. I'm gonna try to make a 3 new habit and the two of them are workout and yoga. I don't want to do many some new habit at once before it gonna doesn't work well on me. Also, I always made "monthly goals" on my bujo every month. Yes, I need to get my life together. Tryna organize and productive every day, okay, I'm still trying on this and impove it like everyday. I always put "blogpost ideas" on every month because as you know I updated my blog every month. The last one on this page is the "sleep tracker". Trust me, I recommend you to put this on your bujo because it works well on me and this tracker makes me be more organize and have a better habit on sleeping.

The last page of my bujo is this "journaling page". This page is basically you can put and write anything you want related to the month of December. Maybe when I have a good memory with my friends, my boyfriend, or my family I'm gonna save and share my memory on this page. I just randomly write something I like related to the month. Sometimes I share my favorite quotes of the month, share my story about my favorite and inspiring people in my life, or just write the lyrics of my favorite song this month. I just really like and enjoy doing it.

I have a recommendation for you who first time make a bujo and got the inspiration to start it, here the link. If you have many school projects, college tasks, or maybe you have many work deadline, start to make a journal is the best choice you gonna make. Because trust me, it gonna makes your life so much easier and organize of course!

That’s all! I hope that you enjoy it, feel inspire and hope this post so much helpful for you. Stay updated for the another post.
