3 things I do that has helped me to be very productive as a Cameroonian Housewife.

Hello, welcome to my blog. I'm Clarisse and I am a Cameroonian Mommy and Housewife. In this post, I will be sharing my top 3 things I do daily that has increase my productivity tremendously as a mom and Housewife. 

Here are 3 things I do which has increased my productivity tremendously. 

1)  Waking up at 5 am:

I use to sleep late and wake up late. I would stay up until 1am and wake up at 8am.

I know some people might say 8am is not even late but, as a mom, wife and housewife, it is very Late.

The reason is because when I wake up at 8am then obviously I would make breakfast late aswell sometimes at 10am. 

Then I would go on and start cleaning or doing laundry before cooking which I usually finished probably at 3pm or 4pm. 

At the end of it, I would feel tired and end up watching tv and all the philipino series I love as a form of relaxation. 

I would eventually fall asleep probably at midnight or 1am. This was like a normal routine for me. 

However I wasn't adding or building myself up mentally and financially the way I would love to. 

I didn't create a time to be productive except doing normal chores as an African woman. 

There was so much more I could do In 24hrs and I noticed this when I set up an alarm at 5am. 

When I wake up at 5am, I could start my chores early, make breakfast early and finish everything I wanted to do that day at 1pm max. 

This routine gave me enough time to incorporate other things that will help me reach my gaols like, creating content on YouTube, writing a blog post or designing, just anything that tickle my creativity. It allows me to be more creative.

2)  Meditation:

Every time I wake up at 5am, I realized I would just lay down on my bed for about 10minutes thinking, talking to myself in my head and even reading my Bible more.

Most times, I would just lay down staring in space thinking about my life and being more grateful for what God has given me. For family, friends, shelter, food, bed, I mean just the little things I would normally just ignore in my life. 

I didn't know what it was actually called at first until one day I did a research and I discovered it's called MEDITATING!!!

Meditating everyday helps me clear my cluttered mind and to be more grateful and aware of the beautiful things I have in this life. This I cannot tell you how much it has helped me especially with the way I see and interact with the people around me.

3) Creating content (YouTubing and Blogging).

If you don't know, I am also a YouTuber. I have two YouTube channels. One is called Rissa campus and the other one is Black hair. 

But right now, I am focusing on Rissa campus. 

When I started my channel, I didn't know alot about YouTubing. 

Because I wanted to learn, I started doing research, learning and practicing. 

All these things was time consuming being it was like I was in school all over. The YouTube university as it is called. Because creating content was very time consuming, it made me cut out alot of the unproductive things I normally did on my free time, like watching countless series, going out without a plan, etc. 

Instead, I would dedicated the time I have to studying, practicing content creation which has eventually turned into a side hustle for me.

So what are the things you do everyday and how does it help you to stay productive?? Leave a comment in the comment section to share your idea.
