Lazy afternoon? 5 productive things to do

Once in awhile I plan a lazy afternoon. Me, Netflix and some popcorn. Though after so many Netflix shows, I feel I need to do something productive. Not too productive, but just enough to feel a little bit productive...but not too much.

So here are some of the things I like to do:

1# Clear Out Your Refrigerator

It is surprising, the things you can find in the back of your refrigerator. So take everything out, clean it and then put everything back that you have used in last 3 months. That means that that jar with pickles from 6 months ago can go in the trash.

Organize your fridge, while you out things back, so that you have a better overview.

2# Free your phone Storage

Declutter your phone. Free some storage space and throw away anything that you don’t want or need anymore. Including those 3500 selfies you are not using anyway.

3# Read a book

Read a book that’s on top of your list. Or research books that you would like to read and create a top 3.

Here is my top three for the start of summer:

12 Rules for Life, by Jordan B.Peterson
The Cows, by Dawn Porter
Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill

4# Create a photo album

Go through your photos and create an amazing photo album that you’ll want to keep for the rest of your life. You can go the traditional route by creating it in chronological order or design a funny album for instance you and animals, or copy Kim Kardashian and create your own Selfie album.

I like to use Washi Tape, to tape down the corners of my photos, for a fun and cute boho look.

5# Exercise

Find a funny workout on Youtube and exercise the afternoon away. Or go outside for a run or long walk. Whatever it is make sure to move your body, spirit and clear your mind.

I go to the gym, but I also have a gym at home. It's amazing what you can achieve with an excercise ball, weights and a yoga mat!

So get your lazy self to do something productive. You’ll thank yourself afterwards.

So the goal is...

The goal is to have a lazy afternoon, with a little productivity that will make you feel great, relaxed and refreshed.

We are Olivia & Morgan

So both in our 30's, with exciting careers including fast track to CEO positions, we met at RSM Business School during our MBA in The Netherlands.

Always afraid to drop the ball, we quickly figured out life after 30 is not about having everything together, but more about developing yourself, knowing who you and what your goals are and ESPECIALLY knowing how to get there.

Because we can all dream, but turning that into action and reality is a huge challenge.

So we created this platform to develop and achieve your goals step-by-step.

We truly believe that if you can dream it, you can make it happen. Anything you want, you can achieve.

This is the philosophy of Eve & Elle and the core concept behind every article we write and product that we develop.

Everything we do is about helping you make it happen.
