Last semester was a VERY humbling one for me. I did like 8 podcast interviews and put out 24 podcast episodes total! Honestly I did not give myself enough of the credit and chance to enjoy the fruits of my labors and things as I could have... hence the burnout I kind of hit.

This semester though we are taking all of those lessons and applying them. I have tried to pretty much do the same things that I did right from last semester and also switch around the things I was mistaken on (like working too hard without more play time).

Here are the three massive changes I have made. I hope that it gives you some perspective as you start a new semester of school or just of your life in general.

1. I am prioritizing my free time. - I am trying to make my free time the most valuable thing for me so I can get the recharge that I need. The play is to take little breaks throughout the day as needed and then self-care and chill out after like 8 PM. It is taking some time but I am figuring it out, but yeah this mindset shift has been very helpful for me.

2. I have my goals for the semester hung up - A consistent reminder of what I am hoping to accomplish from this semester so I can create each day while enjoying it and also reach an end point I would like to get to.

3. I have my own room! - This semester my roommates and I all have private rooms. This means that I will be able to podcast and record videos, etc. as much as I possibly can! Of course there is a ton of power with this and I am trying to use it wisely so we do not get into the same predicament as before.

I have made PLENTY of other changes as well for this semester, but these were the three that I wanted to share  with you all. I am going to be doing some more interviews soon so stay tuned for those! The wait will be worth it. I appreciate your patience.
