March Routine

I haven't been in a great space mentally and emotionally. I am a black cloud more often than I would like. With this in mind, I'm not sure I can say that there are 'favourites'. There are routines that make me feel better though. Here they are.

KeepCup and picking up coffee at Capital, etc. In last month's favourites, I talked about getting my KeepCup and how much I loved it. Because I purchased it at the end of the month, it became more of a routine thing this month. I have been trying to stay mindful and bring around with me. I try to make a note not to buy coffee when I don't have it. So far, I have only used 2 paper cups in the month and a bit I've had my KeepCup. Once, on my first date with Spencer and even though we were seated at the cafe, we weren't offered for here cups. The second time I had forgotten my KeepCup at home but I still wanted a treat after work. Not bad though for a month and change!

Working on the couch to music. I have gotten really sick and tired of working in my room. My room is small and my one friend once told me, it's distracting. I either work at my desk or bed. The bed is terrible because I just fall asleep. Sometimes the desk just doesn't inspire productivity. Instead, I am easily distracted by all the things I have in my room. Working on the couch or at the dinner table has been really good for this. The change of scenery - even if only moving from my room to the living room - has really helped. My go-to playlist while working has also been the Coffee Table Jazz playlist on Spotify.

Goldfish crackers. My mom on a recent trip to Costco bought a big box of snack-pack Goldfish crackers. I claimed them. I love the convenience of these. It's just easy and simple to throw into my bag for school or work. For me, my productivity lives and dies with my hunger. These have also become such a routine that Suzie, one of my wonderful classmates, bought me whole wheat Goldfish crackers that she saw on sale!
