My five year life plan

Eventually, we all have a plan for our lives, even if its a spare of the moment decision, but I hate change and love having my life planned out so that I know what I am doing with my life, so this is my five-year life plan at the moment. I know plans change, and life can throw random things at you, but this is what I am aiming for. 2020 I want to have at least three books published by the end of 2020; I would like to have my businesses off the ground so that I am earning some more money from it; I would also like to have a few more brand deals under my belt for either youtube or Instagram. I would also like to have my endometriosis surgery. 2021 By the end of 2021, I would like to be monetized on youtube again as well as have a total of five books published and making me money. I want to have a few thousand dollars in savings so that I can start saving up for a home. 2022 I don't really have any goals for 2022 other than publishing more books and saving more money....

Apps i use to keep up with my work

Keeping on top of writing, blogging, youtube, my business, and replying to Instagram and youtube comments, working on Wattpad stuff and now keeping on top of the occasional modelling gig is a massive hassle, but with technology being as big as it is now, it is manageable. So here are the apps I use to keep on top of everything I do. Easy blog- for any blogger who blogs on blogger or Blogspot, it is a massive help, with easy blogger I can write my blog posts and edit them, view my blog to see how it will look, it is so easy to use all I need is an internet connection, so it makes it easier for road trips. The calendar is now a must-have for all my appoints and remembering what day I need to upload on what app and all of that jazz.

With the YT studio app, I can accept and delete the comments as well as a reply; I can also fix any issues with my videos and see how they are going, s...

How i plan my weeks out

I am a massive organizer, I have to know what I am doing that week, and if anything changes, I freak out, so I am going to share how I organize my weeks out so that I stay on top of everything I do and have to do. So I have just a cheaper planner from Kmart; it is black, and it only cost me fifteen dollars, and it includes a lot of things, and I just love it.  If you want one of your own, click here . Now I just use the to-do list section, but they also have a weekly and monthly calendar. I may eventually start using the weekly part, but I just use the to-do list for now. So I start off by writing the date. I will be using a part of my actual list to show you guys what I do so you also get a sneak peek into my life. So I would write that weeks date 12-1 is the start day and 18-1 is the last day. I then list everything I have to do so it looks something like this. 12-1 to 18-1 publish double trouble on Wattpad finish writing double trouble write 8,638 words a...

How to budget

A lot of people want to start a budget but don't know-how. I was blessed into a family of budgeters, and because of that, I learned early on how to, so I will share tips on an easy way to budget.  Now, Senator Elizabeth Warren popularised a rule of sorts  in her book  “All Your Worth: The Ultimate Lifetime Money Plan.”  the rule is called the  50/30/20 budget  rule. Basically, the rule  is to divide after-tax income, spending 50% on needs and 30% on wants while allocating  20 % to savings. I don't follow this rule personally, but you can if you want to First, you need to work out how you want to set it out. Do you want to write it down on paper or on a spreadsheet? I find spreadsheets to be the easiest, but it all depends on you and your lifestyle. Next, work out how much you make a week/fortnight/month after tax. Really the method you use depends on how you get paid. I get monthly, so I base my budget on how much I make in a month, but if yo...

How to stay comfortable on an airplane

After just having flown on three different planes in five days and travelling my whole life, I am no stranger to the uncomfortable plane ride, but here are my top 4 hacks/tips to make travelling on a plane easier. 1.)  Bring snacks and water. you can fill up your water bottle after security, and you can buy chips and other amazing snacks via duty-free. This saves on having to drink coffee and tea in the air, which uses disgusting water and having to shell out money on food up in the air that isn't that great of quality; it is also very easy to get dehydrated when flying. 2.)  Have something to do.  I know it seems pretty obvious, but a good book, downloaded episodes or movies on Netflix, music, that kind of stuff can really make the time go faster and make it less obvious that you are bored and having to be stuck in a plane for however long. 3.) Layers. now it is not rocket science to know that being in a plane flying from one place to another is going to be a bit ...
