How to "get back in the swing of things"

     My life is absolutely crazy. There's no doubt about it. Today was the first day in recent memory that I got home before dark. I'm just busy. And sometimes, when I get busy, I begin to neglect my responsibilities. Uh oh. But! Here is how I allow myself to get back on track with whatever thing I've kind of digressed from.
     Usually, my days are productive. But for those days when I just need to get so much done, I call them "overly productive days" (or nights, like tonight). Here's what I did on my overly productive night to put myself back on track for being my usual high-performance self.
     I start off by pampering the absolute life out of my skin. A proper skincare routine is something I often neglect when I'm in a hurry. So when I'm being extra careful, I go the full nine yards. I started off tonight with a pore strip and a facemask, then I used a lot of my Saving Face kit by Skyn Iceland (that stuff works wonders).
     Next up, I'll clean my room. I feel 145% more productive when I work in a clean space. So I picked up the floor, cleaned off my desk, lit a candle, put clothes away, the works. I usually also turn on my fairy lights, just because it gives the room a nice mood, I dunno.
     One of the most important things I do is bullet journaling. Odds are I will make an entire post just for this, but oh my god it's awesome. I prefer writing down everything I have to do because the visual clicks in my brain better.
     Then, I just crank everything out. I'll make myself a cup of tea, and I'll just knock everything out because I'm super in the mood to get stuff done. Then in the morning, I can actually give myself time to get ready; not to do my biology homework.
