Hereโ€™s the simple 3-tier system I use (and teach my clients) to stay productive โ€” without forcing high-energy tasks when my brain is done.

Not all tasks require the same level of focusโ€ฆ and matching your work to your energy can save an entire day from spiraling.

And if you want the full explanation, I just uploaded a 7-minute video breaking it down step-by-step.

โœจ Two mugs. Two reminders for anyone chasing ideas and balance at the same time.

โ˜• Brainstorm โ€” when inspiration strikes.
โ˜• Progress Over Perfection โ€” when perfectionism slows you down.

They make thoughtful gifts for professors, grad students, and professionals โ€” or for yourself, as a daily nudge to keep growing.

When people hear El Dรญa de los Muertos, they often think of Mexico โ€” but across Latin America and Spain, families also visit cemeteries on November 1st and 2nd to honor loved ones.

Growing up in Lima, my parents would take us every year to bring flowers to our ancestors. The cemeteries were full of families, candles, and quiet conversations โ€” a beautiful moment of remembrance.

That spirit inspired me to create a few pieces this year for my Etsy shop, celebrating life, love, and memory โ€” something I hope to grow into a full collection in future years. ๐Ÿ’€๐ŸŒผ

Hi, Iโ€™m Marina โ€” an ecologist, academic coach, and creator behind OrangeInspire.
After nearly 30 years in academia, I realized how much we, as educators and researchers, give of ourselves โ€” often forgetting to protect our time, energy, and creativity.

Thatโ€™s why this channel exists.
Here, youโ€™ll find two sides of my world:

๐Ÿงญ OrangeInspire Academic Coaching โ€“ videos and playlists with practical tools to help academics define and achieve their career goals, improve time management, boost productivity, and set healthy boundaries.

๐ŸŽจ OrangeInspire Studio โ€“ my creative space, where I design gifts and collections inspired by academic life. Each piece reflects the humor, passion, and purpose of those who teach, learn, and never stop growing.

Together, they tell one story โ€” about thriving in academia and beyond.
