Hello, everyone - and people who want to be productive, especially!
So, my summer holiday started a week and something ago, and I already started missing school. I don’t worry about that very much, because, of course, there are other ways to be productive, as well - but, also, relax is a thing. I’d love to list some!
Also, I decided to stop doing a promo, because I honestly don’t want to get more notes just because my blog may hire you followers… Sorry. I hope you understand, xoxo <3 Still love you ^^
Let’s get to our masterpost!
Morning Routine (super important): When you set up a routine you follow early in the day, you provide a structure, an outline for everything you will do. Once the structure is in place (that’s the hardest part), the rest is just following along.
Wake Up (early): This may be the second hardest part of your day, but it will make yourself proud. The No. 1 rule is, to go to sleep at decent time - I’ll recommend being it at 10 - 11 PM. Here are some other useful tips & tricks!
Make Your Bed: This will make you feel like you’re doing something good and starting your day right + also, an awesome habit for life!
Breakfast: Start the day with the glass of water right after you wake up. Then eat something, that actually fill your tummy and don’t forget to add some fruits & veggies ^^ Also, healthy snacking.
(Quick) Hygiene: Brush your teeth, your hair (probably put them in ponytail or bun?) and wash your face and hands. If it is your habit, you can also take a shower! + Quick Hairstyles for short and long straight (wavy) hair & for short and long naturally curly hair to keep it out of you face!
Yoga: Stretch is awesome for increasing your health. It makes you feel super good about yourself and also makes yourself more awake. Try this!
Working Out: If you’ve ever worked out, you know how awesome it feels when you sweat and work on your healthier self. Also, don’t forget how proud you’ll be after one! There are loads of different workout sets so you can make a schedule and work on each part of your body every day or do a full body ones! These videos are really awesome!
Music: It’s good to make a playlist filled with songs that give you a happy and motivational feeling or just make you feel a good way! I definitely recommend to listen to some tropical sounds, especially in summer - it makes perfect atmosphere! Also, you can listen to some of your favourite ones! Check out this masterpost to find different classical music that suit your mood!

3. HAVE SOME FUN, RELAX AND CHILL
Procrastinate (a little bit): I know what I’ve said above, but summer is not about being productive ~*all the time*~. It’s your time to unwind, relax and get rid of school stress and deadlines, that are hunting you. It’s okay to binge-watch Netflix from time to time. Don’t worry and don’t be so strict to yourself ^^ <3
Have a Bath: After a long day, the hot bath is one of the most awesome relax & treat for your body - don’t worry about an environment for the moment. (Do a DIY Galaxy Bath Bomb?)
Watch Some Shows: Since school started in September for me, I stopped watching TV completely. Summertime is awesome time to do that! Just wake up on Saturday, stay in yo’ pyjamas & binge-watch these 33 shows on Netflix. You deserve this.
Turn - Off Your Electronic Devices: Have some time with real humans, yourself and nature. Sometimes it’s good to turn down everything and just go hiking, go for a walk or exercise. Read in nature. Basically, do anything, but not in virtual reality.
Travel: Even if it isn’t 11-hour-long-flight to another continent, you still can got to another city with $3 bus ticket, visit something somewhere, go hiking or just spent your day in public transport. As long as you are looking outside of the window and experiencing country and cultures, go for it. (+ tips and tricks for travelling)
