and I got back from the US on the 15th of April  so almost a month ago and we have been relatively  

jetlagged - I also think it's because the sun is  coming up earlier - but both of us have been out  

of bed, productive happy people by 7am.  And I used to wake up like for high school,  

for college, I used to get up I remember I  set my alarm clock for 5:55am and I have no  

issues like if my alarm goes off, I'm up. So  I really enjoyed that, I liked being up early  

in the morning and in our old apartment it was  difficult because Kurt is not a morning person  

so I didn't want to be noisy and starting my day to wake him up - because he gets out of bed

at like 9:00 if we're lucky, 10:00 usually. Now  that we have extra space, I have the ability to  

kind of make a little bit more noise in the  morning. I'm going to try and really get back  

to that lifestyle that makes me the happiest.  So yeah I'm just making it a point to wake up  

early, get out of the house, do something and I'm going to take you along, take you along  

with me. So day two. It's gorgeous. Beginning of  May, perfect weather, stunning out. I somehow  

managed to walk myself back to my normal walking path. I walked like literally an hour out of my  

way cuz I'm just a creature of habit and I don't  know where else to walk, and I miss my trees.

So anyway I'm going to focus on getting home and I will see you guys there okay bye!

Hi from Seongsu! We're hitting a cafe, trying  not to get hit by cars, the usual. See you there!

Hey, checking in. It's 1, I think. I managed  to do a ton of my work and come out and read a  

book for 2 hours in that gorgeous cafe that just  smelled like lilacs the whole time. I did - I  

stopped in a thrift store. I'm about to peruse a  plant store. I'm not going to buy anything yet, I  

just want to look at the options and then I  spontaneously bought tickets to see Challengers  

tonight. I asked Kurt and he's like not super  interested in seeing it and I am, so we're going  

to go see that as well so I'm going to kind  of pop home, make some lunch, but yeah it's  

just been - it's this perfect weather. If you're  ever wondering, 23° C is * and I'll see you at home.

Hi we missed the bus and  

now we are a little late to the movie -  we're going to be right on time which  

to me is late so power walking but I  will see you after the movie!

Okay a quick check in. I don't know what that movie was - I didn't like a lot of it but I had  

a good time. I walked out of it having had  fun. I laughed so much at a lot of things.  

Tennis has been a part of my life for as long  as I can remember - will always be that girl.  

Love tennis. So it was just like, I loved how  they portrayed tennis and I had a good time.  

I had to sit like, the last probably 15  minutes of the movie, I had to sit like  

this so that I'm - I'm a very like vocal tennis  audience member which is why I don't go watch  

tennis because I scream so I had to literally  like force myself to shut up for the last half.  

Good time. But anyway Kurt and I are going to  find dinner. We don't know what we want so I'm just

like meandering around these back streets of Apgujeong which are so bizarre because it's just churches  

and homes - I like never come back here. Oh  Kurt's calling me so I'll see you later!

Hello, hi, happy Friday. Still  trying to figure out like first of all I need  

to like figure out literally just where to put  things, but also where to put myself. I will be  

filming in strange places in strange angles for  the foreseeable future. Yeah welcome, welcome to

the new house. This is - what - day three? Day three of becoming a morning person again. I just really

love waking up early. I've never, I've been really  fortunate - I know that a lot of people genuinely  

cannot get up in the morning, I'm married to  one of them, I've never had an issue even in  

high school - like I used to have to wake my mom up to drive me to school. I was not the teenager  

that you had to drag out of bed. I was like my  alarm is off, I'm out of bed, let's get going. And  

so like I said earlier, Kurt is not that so just  because I didn't ever want to mess up his sleep  

because he is actually much more attached to  sleep than I am - I was always like oh I'll just  

live like a quieter existence in the morning. Now  I can make like a full breakfast and tea and  

stuff like that without worrying about waking him  up which is so great and I just feel like I get a  

lot more done. I've always been more productive in  the morning. It was true for school, it was true for  

when I was working in an office...after lunch: game over. I am checked out, I'm done. Also one thing that

I always wanted to do in the mornings that I could have done but I just felt guilty - I don't know, I  

used Kurt as an excuse to not do this. I always  want to wake up and again, I'm more productive so

the chances of me studying and studying well, the  chances are much higher so I used to really think  

of like 'oh I'm going to go study Korean like for  an hour every morning' and now I don't have the  

excuse not to anymore. I've set up a Mirror work  session for all of the classes that I want to  

work on in the morning because I will put things  off and then when it gets to the evening I'll be  

like, I'll do it tomorrow. So I want to give a  shout out to the sponsor of this video which  

is Skillshare. Skillshare is an online learning  platform with classes in everything - I cannot  

stress to you. But I actually just posted  my second class on there. They have a lot  

of great resources for the creative professional  whether you are like a graphic designer, whether  

you are a social media manager, if you want to do  YouTube. So my two classes are geared towards  

having a YouTube channel. My newest one is about organization and setting up schedules and dealing

with sponsors and things like that. I created this class because there's so much content about how  

to film and edit a video, but there's so much that  goes on behind the scenes of a channel that needs  

kind of boring structures like calendars and  financial tracking and things like that but  

it's just been so essential for me for organizing  my life. So I really wanted to help you guys with  

that, so I have a lot of my own templates, my own  calendars ready for you. You can duplicate it and  

use it yourself and I hope that it brings your  channel to the next level or makes starting a  

YouTube channel feel a little bit less daunting. They also have a lot of learning paths which  

are - they curate their courses into one learning  path. Since they have so many resources, it can be

a little overwhelming so they just kind of funnel you through, if you have a goal in mind they have a  

learning path for you. I'm personally looking at their color grading classes right now which is  

exciting. So yeah thank you so much to Skillshare, I have a link in the description box - the first  

500 people to click it will get one month free  of Skillshare. I will also link my class if you  

would like to listen to me talk to you. Thank you  as always and yeah I'm excited, I'm excited for the  

productivity. And so I've just been feeling - I am  mentally in such a good place recently. It's not  

just because I'm waking up early and being active.  It's just this perfect combination of a bunch of  

different things - the weather has been so nice,  it is the my absolute favorite temperature in  

the world, we had quite a few days of amazing air  quality so I could see far in the distance and I  

could take my walks without having to worry about  anything, also just a change of scene is very  

reinvigorating so the fact that we're now in a  new home. But also yeah waking up early has really -

I've just feel like I'm not even getting more  stuff done but like I feel less guilty about quote  

unquote wasting time because even today - I played  tennis, I came home, I took a shower, I posted my  

book video and I was answering comments and then I  just sort of I made breakfast and then I was just  

sort of like lounging about answering comments and  just kind of wasting time online - even now having  

done that, having quote unquote wasted a lot of  time online, it's only 10:45. I still have a lot  

of the day left and I just put in laundry - like I  just feel like I can fit more stuff in in order  

to have lazy time. Cuz I do think that - I've been  thinking about this a lot actually. April was the  

month of like really long car rides and airplanes  and just like waiting in airports so I've been  

thinking a lot about kind of the importance of  of boredom and the importance of free time. I find  

that the quieter times are when you find a lot  of inspiration what I want to work on now, my next  

step along with being less guilty about wasting  time, is wasting time correctly. I don't want to  

be scrolling on social media, I want to just be  like laying around, like staring out a bus window.

I found that recently I've been like either  scrolling on my phone or answering emails or  

things like that on the bus when I used to just listen to music and look out the window and like

it's okay to not be productive in those times, like I can ride a bus without also answering my  

work emails, you know? So yeah I'm just like working  on that of giving myself more time and because of  

that I can have more quiet moments - does that  make sense? So I think for today I just finished or  

I just put in a load of laundry so I need to wait  for that to finish. I'm going to just kind of  

pitter patter around the house, try to put a couple  things away and it's a 3-day weekend so I don't  

know what we're going to be - what we're going to  get up to but I have a little bit of work to do.  

I might head out a little bit later and get  a coffee and sit outside cuz again it's just  

really nice, the air quality is not good today but  but yeah. Let me know are you a morning person, what  

are your tips? I've tried so hard to be a night  owl and I just can't because I will wake up early  

like even if I stay up until 2am, I'm going  to wake up at 7, at 8 maybe. Yeah let me know your

tips for either one. I know it's easier in summer  when we get more sun so hopefully I can like  

really get this down and by winter I can keep it  up. So anyway I'm going to go do all the things I  

said I was going to do. I hope you guys are doing  well and I'm kind of using this week as well to  

brainstorm future content so let me know what  you're interested in seeing and I'll catch you  

later okay bye! Speaking of having time to waste,  I fell asleep. I set a 10-minute timer and then  

that went off and then I just continued to sleep.  It is 1:30. I think I clearly, I just needed rest.  

So yeah now we're going to - I got changed, I'm in I thrifted this just like potato sack of a dress.  

Will be my summer uniform but let's take out  the trash, go read a book - maybe I need caffeine, who  

knows! But that was a lovely afternoon nap, now we got to read!

Hi! Strange day today. I've had  plans to go to this cafe in the kind of Dongdaemun

area but because it was so rainy this morning, I  decided like no let's not, put on this tiny jacket,  

was like I'm going to go get coffee across the  street and then I saw that the air quality was  

beautiful and I just kind of wanted to be outside  more. I got on a bus not really thinking like oh  

I'm going to be very cold, not prepared. So  here we are. I don't really...I'm...slight reget  

but I'm excited to see this new cafe, be in a  different area. It suddenly got noisy. 

We're in the kind of Dongdaemun Area. Went  to the gym today, trying to like create a routine  

so that that becomes more natural. Oh my God  that is the cutest puppy oh my God I think  

it's coming towards me hold on I'll try and get  it for you.

Anyway we're going to go get coffee, and read a book and enjoy this stunning air quality.

It's just way too cold  

It was really warm and now it's not and  my body doesn't know how to adjust so...

I have some work to do but as I am eating my  pasta I'm going to watch the Dead Boy - Dead  

Boy Detectives. I'm almost done. I'm buddy watching it with Olivia. Yeah two more episodes. Okay see you!

Hello so I'm just finishing a load of laundry.  I'm actually going I need to grab my sketchbook  

I'm going to take a figure drawing class. Like I  said, I'm trying to get into when I have time,  

actually doing things with that time that I have  always said that I want to do. Skillshare has a  

learning path for build your foundation and figure  drawing and it has like basically from beginner to  

slightly less of a beginner and then hopefully by  that time London will be awake and I'll be able  

to finish up some of my email work and things  like that. That's the plan so let's see this

Okay JK, he told me that if I want to do figure drawing, I need to actually know how to draw and  

I'm not quite certain I know how to draw so now  I'm going to do the how to draw a beginner's  

guide course.

Okay so I can read romcoms all day. I  love reading a romcom. For some reason  

I can't watch them. So I pretty much watched  until the first kiss scene and then I fast  

forwarded until the very end and okay, okay  that's fine. I'm actually going to try a new  

tennis place and they - you have to make a  reservation so we got to go. But yeah  

happy - what is today - Tuesday. Happy Tuesday.  It was a 3-day weekend because of children's  

day and I feel like everything's  out of whack happy Tuesday!

Oh my God on that note, I think we got to end the  week here. First of all, something I just did at  

the tennis court - just a reminder, I know that  I talked about it before when I was like trying  

to learn guitar )and I put that down oops) or  like drawing or anything like that - I always say  

that it's okay to be mediocre at something. You do  not have to be the best, as someone who has put a

lot of hobbies down because I wasn't immediately  the best at them. You're allowed to be just like  

enjoying something and not doing it very well -  obviously with my guitar - but one thing with tennis

is also remembering that you can lose skills  and you have to build them back up and it's  

like not a bad thing to have to kind of return  to the basics. So I haven't played tennis in a  

couple months and my forehand sucks I have no -  even though I'm right-handed - I have no muscle  

in this arm. So my backhand is fine but I ended  up switching to the beginner level instead of
