 And welcome back to my YouTube channel if you guys have not seen my videos already Hi nice to meet you. I don't know why I said that I just started a podcast I feel like now I don't know how to like talk to a camera anyways I get a lot of questions on like how to manage it all because I'm a full-time college student I do YouTube full-time. I have a podcast social life really heavily involved in my church like there's just like a lot of different things and I like doing it all and I really like just like Having a full life. Not a busy life a full life So here are my tips here are things that I do I've made videos like this in the past but I feel like I'm constantly learning and just kind of getting better about it So if you guys have any other tips, please leave them in the comments down below Also, I'm sorry this camera setup is not the best. I'm recording this my vlog camera because my DSLR It's just like I don't like the lens anymore. It's just so difficult I need a new lens if anyone just wants to give me a new camera lens. Let me know Anyways, yeah, I'm gonna talk about how to manage all how to get it all done I haven't filmed a normal sit down video like this in so long I feel like if you guys miss these, let me know if you guys don't also let me know Okay, so my first tip that I have probably not gonna make you guys very happy But it's to wake up early last night So friends and I were over and one of them was doing like the miracle morning thing instead of like changes life And basically any person who like does well in life. I feel like gets up early. That's a big thing I have not been super great about this lately But I go through my periods of time where I wake up really early when the morning you win the day It's so true. I talked about this stuff more in my podcast if you guys want to hear me talk more and depth about this stuff But yeah, waking up early is really nice and then my second tip would be to have a morning routine So I think waking up early is like the first thing and then having a nice morning routine is really good I'm someone who doesn't like to go straight into like what I'm doing for the day Nor do I think really anyone should I think that you should have some time to yourself and some time to kind of Like wake up, you know see the world live your life, whatever it is Even if it's just from your own home of make breakfast coffee. I like reading every morning. I'm very big on that I share that like literally every single video Listening to a podcast whatever that is. I actually am about to film It's gonna be up later But I want to film a video where I try out the miracle morning and like let you guys know how I like it I want to maybe do it for like a month and see how much it like drastically changes my life because I feel like it Really will drastically change my life and that is something that I would love to do So, um, yeah, you just have to have a morning routine that works for you And I feel like this is the biggest thing because if I wake up when I like this morning It's Saturday I thought I was gonna wake up at seven and I woke up at nine and I was so thrown off and I was like Oh, that sucks so bad because I could have started two hours before and it would have just changed It literally would have changed my day. So waking up early having a morning routine. Those are huge The next thing is to plan well. I've talked about this billion times planner I use as a passion planner. I've used it for three years and I will never leave it It's like my favorite thing ever but whatever it is for you having a planner even if it's a Google calendar or something It's so important to plan because then you can actually make sure that you're getting your stuff done Like make a list of things you have to do and then put them in a planner and find time Like you have time for what you want to make time for and you have way more time to get things done Then you realize like if you just like get off your phone We all spend like 46 hours a day on our phone like imagine how much more Time you can be spending doing something like efficient and productive with your time So you have time for things just plan like that is so huge I cannot like I can't express that enough next thing with planning is to schedule and rest So a lot of you guys been asking like how to avoid burnout blah blah blah blah blah I'm super proud about burnout, but this is something that I'm really trying to learn Actually, if you guys I've mentioned in my podcast so much But that's because my podcast talks about this stuff a lot my first episode with Alicia I'd really heavily focus in on burnout. So if you guys want to hear about that It's in the first episode of the I love you so much podcast Anyways, it is huge to schedule and rest and I know it sounds ridiculous because you're like why are you scheduling rest? But for me that just means that I'm like, okay. Well during this time I can't work I need to rest and I need to do whatever recharges me rest doesn't always mean just like laying in bed watching Netflix If that's how you rest and that works for you That's perfect for me that doesn't like recharge me. So I don't really like that like personally for me for rest Like something that recharges me and just going to Malibu's a fair place So I'll go to Malibu and then I'll come back like really recharge It all feels so much more well rested going to Malibu than I would have been if I just like laid in bed all day Or I'll spend time with people that I know recharge me like so as my best friends or whatever it is I'll just do things that I know are gonna end up refueling me Rest doesn't always mean being like lazy, but if that's what it works for you It works for you. You know what I'm saying. So just figure out what recharges you one time Taylor and I did feel like a week We just like kept a list in our journals of things that recharged us We just like wrote them down. So I will so often go back to that list and like find something to do in there What I need it um, but to avoid burnout You just have to be really intentional and like scheduling in rest because life gets crazy and life gets busy So you have to just be ahead of the times, you know, they're fine. Stay ahead. Do not procrastinate. So I am So being into staying ahead like my videos are always pre-filmed like a week or two in advance Like they're already up on my channel like the video like this video was filmed probably like a week or two before It's posted. I am never like editing and uploading the day before like I recently had to do it So I was just there was something wrong with me like I don't do that as far as school too I will have my assignments again always a week ahead But I have to be so could the very beginning I'll work really hard to just get ahead and then that is like my normal like stride like you know what I'm saying So I will just work like normal like how everyone else would but I'm two weeks ahead So because of that I don't get stressed as much. I don't get anxious and not like oh my gosh I have to do this I have to do this and it gives me a little more leeway like I'm young I'm 21 because my friends want to go out and like do something I want to go and see my friends or hang out or whatever it is I'm not like oh I have to do this like I have a little bit more flexibility with that being said I will say no a lot still Love the airplane so that being said obviously like you still need to say no and still work hard But with being so ahead it gives me like a little bit more leeway and it helps me with my anxiety levels So much oh my gosh number six is to stay focused and to stay efficient Being productive really means nothing because you could just be like oh I'm doing something like I wrote I ate breakfast and I'm gonna go right eat breakfast I'm going to do this and cross it off like that's what being productive is But being efficient is like getting the stuff done in the time frame that you did it So if I have like an hour to edit a video I have an hour to edit a video and for that hour I'm only editing that video like I'll turn my phone off and I just stay focused So much more powerful to be efficient rather than to be productive Because so often to be productive means that you're just like doing busy work You don't really need to do so I'll be really efficient when I'm supposed to be efficient So I can get everything done and like that is the time frame that I gave myself to do it And so that's the time frame that I'm gonna take to do it. It's just like yeah be efficient not productive You're wording this is huge So like your words create worlds like the way that you speak about things and talk about things like completely change everything Judah Smith says this like office from him But he's like you know I don't ever say that I live a busy life by just a little full life And obviously his life is like very very busy But just say that you live a full life instead of busy because it just changes up the connotation that you're like Oh, it's full like I have a lot of things like I get to do these things rather than busy. You're like, oh my gosh I'm so busy. I'm burnt out. I'm exhausted. I'm tired Whatever whatever you have to do to like trick your mind into it instead of a to-do list like things I get to do small things like that it may sound cheesy or corny But it like really does make a huge difference and yeah, I love that. That's big My next thing is keep your space organized. I cannot work in clutter So like I have to have a clear like clean space clean mind clear space clear mind I don't know I'm literally but you're every single quote I try to say in a video or podcast whatever it's fine But that is so big for me because I like I can't come home I'll freak out if like someone's been in my office while I was gone and then it's messy I'm like that is so annoying because when I come home Then I take an extra 15 minutes to clean it before I can do anything and that kind of like when I'm coming home I'm going straight to my office and I'm gonna work then that kind of like jolts back my like headspace I know I sound extreme. That's just like how it works for me. So like I'm constantly cleaning up I never go to bed with my room messy. I clean up before I go to bed So I wake up to a clean room I make sure my office is clean before I come back to work in it just stuff like that It's so important to keep it organized even my bag like something that I'm trying to get better about is to not Like shove things in my bag my car is what gets the messiest because I like live in that all the time So I'll just like throw things and get them out. I drive my friends everywhere So just gets messy, but it's so important to keep your spaces organized because like clear space clear mine I don't know something like that guys. Okay become a person of commitment. This is so freaking big Okay, so basically the portraits of podcast on commitment and it's so good Literally so good like no is an option to if you commit to something like if I commit to something I've committed to that and I'm going to work around that and get everything done in order to do that But if I know that I can't do it I will say no up front so that I don't have that added pressure of being like, oh Well, maybe I should do this or maybe I should do that or like they're maybe thinking I should like it's not cool Be a person of commitment if you say you're gonna do something do it And if you say you're not gonna do something don't do it that may sound really obvious But so often we're like it's Monday. They're like, oh what are you this Friday? And you're like, oh, yeah, maybe and then you wait until like Friday 10 minutes before like oh I can't make it like that just makes you flaky. No one's gonna take you seriously. It just it really harms friendships I just don't like that at all. Obviously, there's exceptions totally understand the exceptions But if that's like how you are fix that that is huge because no one's gonna take you seriously ever and like if they can't rely on you To do one thing why would they like rely on any words that you say so that's huge But yeah, so if someone's like, oh, let's do this Friday and like I know that I can't make it I would be like I cannot make it or I'll be like, hey I have a lot going on if you want to like revisit this in a few days Let me know but like also if you make other plans, okay, like just be very up front and yeah I don't know. I think so much more of it is like fear of like better things coming along So people like oh like we'll see unless something better comes along. No say yes or no and that is it be committed or not be committed It's a really easy thing. Okay. The last thing is what you consume is like what you become So I haven't so focused on like what I'm even listening to even if it's like music like I'm like I don't want this in my life right now. I don't want that my life right now I don't want to feel these certain emotions. So I'm so like Proactive about what I'm listening to but something that I love to do in this sense of like managing it all like being productive is I Listed a podcast because podcasts make me feel way more productive and efficient and they inspire me to just like be better and get better And to work harder. So I love listening to podcast even if they're just like a chill podcast I don't know what it is. I just like have my life more together when I'm listening to podcast But yeah, just be watching what you consume because that is a huge thing what you consume you become so huge So those are my tips for just kind of how to manage it all with school church YouTube podcast, whatever it is We're all busy. We all have things. I'm sure you guys have a billion more things that I do But I'm just saying that is what I do Yeah, I don't really have an off day, but I will make like Saturdays for like five hours I try to have like just free time completely I am very intentional about scheduling rest and chilling and like making time for people and stuff now Whereas I feel like a year or two ago I wasn't and I wasn't as happy and I think that people matter way more So, yeah, that is how you get it done There's a way to do everything But also, okay, there's a way to do everything, but I don't think you need to be doing everything You need to make sure what you're doing. So you're supposed to be doing anyways That's another that's another topic, but this is just for the things that you guys are doing Love you guys so much.
