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 trying to work out how to do better this year and in the future to stay on top of all of my social media responsibilities. 

I plan to do my writing while the kids are in bed. When it comes to social media posts on instagram I am hoping to be able to schedule posts in advance, tiktoks I will try and pre-film and sit in my drafts to post randomly and will just continue to post on X and apps like that when I have something to post. 

Blog posts I always pre-write as much as possible so I wasn’t that concerned there but when it comes to my podcasts and YouTube this is going to be the harder one, last year I did extremely well with staying consistent. I am hoping to still be able to pre-film as much as possible so that I can always stay ahead. 

I have no idea if this will work in my favour but I am going to try my hardest to get into some sort of routine as the year goes on to make it easier for myself.
