The hardest part about being a YouTuber is managing time. Since I am in school, I have to balance time I put into school and time I put into YouTube (let's forget about having a social life too). Over the years I have found my easiest "method" of time management, so I'd like to share it with you guys. MAKE A SCHEDULE. That's it. I write out a schedule for each month with all of the videos I plan to upload for each day. I start off with about four videos a month, one each week. I write out each video in bullet points to figure out how long the video will be. As the months progress, I would add more videos to my schedule. But let's start with just a video a week.

I would start out by planning my video for the week out in my journal on a Monday, giving me fie days (until the weekend) to plan out my video. This is the most important step. If you have your video planned out before you film, you can take less time in the filming step. Once my video is planned out, I gather all of the required LPS, sets, props, etc. and set them up. By this time it is Saturday. I designate that day to filming. I wake up and say "Okay, today I need to film a video by 2:00 so I have time to do homework." If I film my video in the morning, that leaves time for my school work in the afternoon. Then Sunday is the editing day. I try to get my filming and editing done in the morning so I have time in the afternoon for whatever I want to do. When I have extra days off from school I try to film as many videos as possible to stay ahead of my schedule.

Hopefully this helped some of you out! If you get used to setting and following a schedule, it will become a routine. Feel free to leave me questions in the comments; I'll answer them in my next blog post because I cannot reply to comments without my email showing up.
