It's great that you take time for you before the day begins. I found when my kids were younger that was so helpful in getting the day off to a great start. Great ideas for scheduling ideas - thanks. One question, you mentioned being in touch with your affiliate manager and monthly with your brand manager. Who are these people? This whole world of blogging and content creating is so amazing - and foreign to me. Happy Weekend!

Good question, Debbie!

I have a brand manager (Molly) who manages all of my sponsorships/collabs with brands. She does all of the contracting, legal, and negotiating for me. I used to do it all myself, but joined her agency this year to take some tasks off my plate.

My affiliate manager (Melinda) is in charge of any links or sales you see me share. She stays in the know on what's trending, creates collages, is on top of sales, etc. She started working for me last year during the Amazon Prime sale and has been with me ever since!

man you are so organized! I'm trying to figure out how to structure my time now that I'm trying to make writing "my job." figuring out where & how to make time for social media has been the hardest. I feel like my time keeps getting drained any time I have a new idea for a post, but maybe I need to start batching those tasks instead. thanks for sharing!

I feel ya!! It is such a time suck. I like the idea of you dedicating specific days/times to social...sometimes I set a timer so I don't get too sucked in and can get back to my "deep work"

I need a bit more structure in my life these days - thanks for these ideas! Love the habit stacking. I'm curious -- how do you deal with home projects that take longer than one day? They always seem to stretch on and on for me, haha!

I totally feel ya, Hillary! There's always a lot of shuffling around. That's what my morning time blocking is for...I move things that didn't happen the day before and prioritize what needs to get done. There's always some spillover...
