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.

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...

The benefit of learning a new language and tips on how to do it

Learning a new language can be such a rewarding learning experience. I have been using Duolingo since April 2022 to learn Spainish after years of struggling but wanting to learn the language.
