How I schedule my work week

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
write on comp
write on projects love, murder.
edit project choice

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.

and that's how I keep on top of things. I hope you learned something. if you work from home how do you manage day to day life?

Moving to a new country | with kids

Moving to a new country can be exciting but nerve wracking add in children and it can feel overwhelming to say the least, today I want to share all the advice and tips I have to move overseas after having just made an overseas move for myself with my two young daughters. Mid January I moved from New Zealand back to Australia, some of you may know that I was actually born in Australia and lived over here until 2011 so for me this was about returning home but for my kids it was moving countries for the first time and while my youngest had no idea what was going on as she was only 3 months old my eldest had a range of emotions and it was honestly quite tough on her at times. My first bit of advice is to just talk about the move, explain why you’re moving and what to expect in an age-appropriate way so that they can better understand what is going on, talk about all the positives with the move that would interest them from new experiences to making new friend...

How I track everything I do & how I plan to do better

How I keep track of everything Keeping track of everything I need to do for social media can be difficult and thankfully in 2024 I was getting really good at pre-filming and keeping ahead of all my work. When ever my daughter was away with her dads family I would pre-film my YouTube videos and TikTok’s in advance, I would try to always be a month ahead of my schedule to make it easier. To keep track of what needed to be done I would write out a plan with each date a video or podcast needed to go up and what it was so that I knew what I needed to film and the date it needed to be done and posted by. How I plan to do better I know I struggled to keep on top of everything all the time the last few years with just one child who I did get breaks from at times to be able to pre-film etc. and now with a second child here and in a new country with less time; I know it is going to be harder even though I was just starting to get in a routine so I have spent a while ...

How I hid my pregnancy

It is no secret now that I spent most of 2024 pregnant and I managed to hide it for basically my whole pregnancy without anyone finding out minus who I personally decided to tell. I decided to share my tips on how I hid my pregnancy to help others for whatever reason they decide to not share the big news these can help no matter how long you decide you want to hide it for. Clothing and appearance I opted for loose, flowing clothing like oversized tops and jumpers and towards the end whenever I had people coming over to my house (I rarely left home other than appointments or shopping anyway) I would wear my oodie. Behaviour I made sure I had plausible reasons ready for changes in my diet, avoiding alcohol, or even when I was feeling sick with morning sickness (e.g., diet change, medication, or a temporary health issue). Situational adjustments I tried to avoid situations where my body might be closely scrutinized. I also reduced social engagements where people mi...
