How I Manage My Time as an FT Content Creator

How I Manage My Time as a FT Content Creator

One of the most common questions that I get asked is how I manage my time as a full-time content creator. 

I will not lie; I love to be busy; in fact, I have always thrived on a packed schedule. One of the main reasons I always wanted to work for myself is that I often find that my hard work is not as “appreciated” in a corporate setting and often taken advantage of. Now that I work for myself, I know all my hard work is for something I love and my dream career. 

Before we get into my schedule, I want to start by saying I am a HUGE To-do list person, and I love to be super ORGANIZED. 

I map out my content one month in advance, and I always film my videos at least 1.5 weeks in advance. While I understand this is not everyone’s filming style, this is what helps me stay organized. 

I like to treat my brand as a full-time job. 

I schedule working hours throughout the day, and I also schedule lunch breaks, vacation days, and proper sick days. This allows me not to overwork myself and prevent myself from burning out. 

However, I do make sure that I am working when it is working hours, whether it is testing recipes, filming, editing, doing admin work, or grocery shopping. 

Below is an example of how I schedule my workday: 

FILMING DAY 

10 am – 11 am Zoom call with my team, answer email, breakfast and also getting ready 

11 am – 12 pm posting time (IG + TIKTOK) and answering DMs and comments 

12 pm – 12:30 pm lunch break 

12:30 pm – 1:00 pm setting up filming station 

1:00 pm – 4:00 pm filming 

4:00 pm – 5:00 pm clean up and break 

5:00 pm – 6:00 pm IG post goes up and answering DMs and Comments 

6:00 pm – 8:00 pm break and dinner time 

8:00 pm – 10:00 pm editing and preparing deliverables for brand deals and projects 

10:00 pm – 12:00 pm blog post and newsletter 

I like to schedule my week base on what I am doing that day. I make sure to fill out my calendar every Sunday night to reflect on what is due this week and what I want to work on. 

Example, 

MONDAY – Admin + Meeting Day 

TUESDAY – Filming + Blogging 

WEDNESDAY – Admin + Recipe Testing Day 

THURSDAY – Filming + Blogging 

FRIDAY – Meeting (half day) 

SATURDAY – Filming (half day) 

SUNDAY – DAY OFF 

I will detail what recipes are going LIVE this week, what I want to film this week, and what recipes I want to test this week. 

This also helps me save money on grocery shopping as I am never wasting products since I know exactly what I will be trying and filming for the week.

During my off days, I will give myself a complete social media break to reset and spend time with family and friends. I don’t work till midnight every night; however, everyone is different. I tend to be more creative at night when I like to write my blog posts. 

The best part about working for yourself is that you are in complete control of your schedule; however, it is important not to overwork yourself and also to be efficient with your time as you are wearing many hats. 

Here is my FREE 2021 Content Calendar that you can download. I also love to have an agenda to organize my week and a notebook to jot down any creative ideas that may pop up.

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
