Frequently Asked Questions:
😇 How old are you? 23
📝 What are you studying? I am set to start my MA in English Literature at Oxford this autumn.
📚What are your favourite books? • 200 book recommendatio...
📚 Do you have a book club? Yes! You can join it here for free: fable.co/club/reading-with-th...
📝 Have you written a book? My life goal is to be a published author and make a living from writing and I am using this year to gain experience, build up a portfolio and work on a book with my agent. I have just finished the final draft of that book, as you can see in this video. I did self-publish a book about bullying when I was seventeen which is available on Amazon (amzn.to/3mdJKLm), but I'm slightly embarrassed by it now!
🎃 Do you have merch? I don't have merch in the traditional sense (I can't imagine selling something with my face or name on haha!), but I do have a stationery company where I sell planners for students. These are all designed with students in mind and follow models which I've used when planning my studying. Our products are printed in pastel colours on recycled paper: bit.ly/3wgsR85
🍵 What's your favourite tea? That's a REALLY hard one, but I think I'd have to say the B&B Chocolate Digestive Tea: bird-and-blend-tea-co.sjv.io/youwilllovethisone (affiliate link)

I just want to thank you for directing me in a positive direction. I was in Std 11 when I started watching your videos and following your study routines. I was so lost in my personal life but my academic life was in the best place in a long time. I scored really good in Std 12, got into my dream university, earned several scholarships, met the love of my life and today, when I look back, I feel the urge to express my gratitude. Thank you so much. Ps I had a note on my desk "Study like Granger" which for me meant Ruby Granger

Journaling in the mornings is a non-negotiable for me! Just while I’m having my coffee and looking out the window. It’s a time of taking stock of the previous day (with the benefit of having ”slept on it”) and setting goals for the day ahead. A bit of reflection fueled by what I like to call ”coffee optimism” just sets you up right. edit: you’ve also inspired me to clean my stove ❤

@MizzSparkle90 5 ай бұрын

In the absolute nicest way possible, I find it hard to believe that you’d need classes on how to journal as you’ve done it on/off for years. I also think as everyone is different, people will naturally journal differently as per what suits them, there isn’t a right or wrong. I get that the odd sponsored video is needed though, I tend to skip that part of not interested 😂 (timestamps would be really useful there). 😊 Omg 🎉🎉 I’m loving seeing you use a hairdryer after all these years! Your hair will thank you if you use one regularly!

Wonderful video as always, Ruby. ❤ I feel the exact same way about journaling. I have journaled a decade or more, and not even because of any particular reason or goal. But, if I go a couple weeks without doing so, I just have this strong urge TO do it. I understand completely how effective it is at decluttering one's mind. I likely wouldn't function as well without it!

I love the way one looks traditional and the other looks more modern. Have a great term!

I still remember watching your 6 am morning routine back in 2017 when i was in class 11th and i got so motivated because of you. At that time my father got cancer so my prtsonal life was completely sad and painful but coming to KZfaq watching your videos made me so peaceful and made me decide to work on myself . The 2 best things that ever happened to me since 2017 was watching your videos and watch BTS which is a kpop band. Thank you ruby for studying well. Lots of love from India.
