I'm literally just sitting down planning my content for the week, so this is great timing. I like breaking down my YT vids into prep, film, edit, thumbnail, upload and SEO. It means I get to tick lots of things off at the end and makes me feel like I've achieved lots! I'd love to hear about your process of writing a script, like how detailed that is. Thanks Katie, great video.

[SophieSweetandSour]

I definitely get stuck in the "plan your work" and hardly get to the "work your plan". Thank you for sharing your Notion templates! I found Notion some months ago and I love it!!

[thecornerofcraft]

Love this. I run my own business full-time and I feel like the videos I put out can be rushed. Recording and editing a week in advance is such a smart idea. Time to up my game! x

[themelissalaurie]

I think a big part of being a creator is being able to manage your time. We often have to juggle so many things at once! Thanks for sharing the BTS of your planning 😁

I just got notion because of you, gonna start planning out my content now. I definitely struggle with having too many ideas and never executing on them so hopefully this will help! 🤞

Your channel was recommended to me. Thanks for this! I’m a homeschooling mama of seven. Recording and editing videos is super challenging. I’ve ready to stop the madness…and record with ease.

[RobinsonKris]

Hands down the most helpful video, chalk full of details, I've seen to help me understand what's involved and how to manage it. Thank You! I'm saving this so I can go back and watch it a few times as I get myself set up.

Love that - Plan your work, then work your plan. thx Mama!

[Penguinandpear]

Look into template blocks in notion I think that’ll help. Also for your main dashboard or any sections you have a lot of content the new table of contents feature is a godsend.

[StephanieHajal]

I love (and needed) this video!!🙌🏼 😊 Figuring out how to structure my week is the biggest struggle for me as a mommy content creator! Would love to see more videos like this, Katie!

[WhitneyMaslak]

Awesome tips, thank you! I love what you said about trying to make things easier for future you. I struggle with procrastination, but that mindset helps a lot.
