I have a lot on my plate. Between blogs, Wattpad, YouTube, novel writing and writing for a competition, let alone cleaning the house, cooking, appointments and more.
I thought I would let you guys in on how I manage to keep up with everything {I will have a fake example at the end}.
every Friday I sit down in the afternoon before my partner comes home with my laptop, food planner, phone and Schedule.
The first thing I will do is plan out what I will be cooking for the week. I do this so I know exactly what to buy in my shopping but also so I know each day what time I need to start cooking and be done for the day by.
I don't have a set time I start work. I am typically awake by six-thirty when my partner gets up to go to work but some days I will go back to sleep and others I will start right away it really depends on how tired I am. I only work Monday to Friday now because my partner now has a job where he gets every weekend off so I have to get all my work done in a matter of five days.
Once my food is planned out and my shopping list is written I work out how long it will take me to make the meal so that I can write it down what time each day I need to finish by to make sure tea is ready when he gets home (latest when he gets out of the shower)
I then pull out my phone and work out what appointments I have, if they are at my home (like midwife appointments) or if I have to walk to them and what time they are and time I have to leave the house to get to them in time.
Next is to work out what I have to get done that week. I do this by making a list of everything I need to get done like filming, editing etc. here is a fake example of a list
Need to do for work.
- film two youtube videos (video one name, video two names)
- edit and upload youtube videos
- advertise
- write a chapter for Wattpad {book name}
- freelance work
- write for endo blog

once I have all the information I need to make my work week I write it all up. I don't set time frames for any of it.
Here is a fake list so you can see how it looks it the end.
