Chapter 8/3/25-8/9/25

Adding in more posts, changing the timing of posts, adding more platforms. These are just a few questions I am trying to figure out this week. Last week was a jump back to form with more than five hours worked on this venture but now I need to build upon that. I have a to-do list a mile long, so I need to start knocking some of these things out. School is coming very close and my time will be even more divided.
I have been in the zone this week. I am on a great pace to putting in five hours and maybe even more. A great jump back to form over the past two weeks.
I have been working a lot on the Tiktok side of things as I was getting very low in the reserves, putting out some really mediocre content just because I didn’t want to do it. That finally changed today as I moved from writing and other business actions to the more content creation side of short form video. I went from two done to 19 done ready to be posted. I would like to push even further and get to 20-25 but now my blogs are behind, so I need to refill those. It feels good to push myself into a creative space and really get things done. I would like to do a couple more tiktoks with the new microphone and also get some tiktoks done with PRICING. That is just a constant content pump that would never be turned off if I could do it in a creative way. The only issue? Laziness? It showed that it could do some numbers. The top ten most viewed on my channel that has over 200 pieces of content on it. That is wild to think about, but I have really been consistent over the last few months regarding having something every day. It feels good. I feel good.
The things I would like to do is to start posting on Facebook again. I stopped for some reason. Maybe embarrassment, maybe shyness. All I know is that I will be extremely limited if I don’t grow into different platforms. Which has me thinking about YouTube, and maybe X but not huge excitement about that. YouTube for sure needs to be brought in. TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube should be the three.
How often should I post and what time? I want to be the most efficient in this area.
I had so much excitement going into yesterday, but I stumbled after the huge day. I have been getting more tired going throughout the week, and there are just some days where I am much slower than usual. Currently, I am in one of those days. Yesterday I put in about 30 minutes and the day before was almost three hours. Overall, the week still has a chance to be very successful as I continue to push into more blogs being scheduled and more content for my TikTok. I hope for a bounce back day today, but I don’t feel nearly as motivated today. Also, a huge chunk of work needs to be done, so I just feel a bit run down. I am pushing myself through because school is coming in less than two weeks and I am going to push a lot of time into those first few weeks as I try and give myself a large buffer. My schooling has gotten a lot better, but I still have the same issue with motivation. Strong at first but a huge crash in the last few weeks as I crawl my way into a decent grade. This week has been strong. I want to continue to be strong in this venture and add school seamlessly…. Probably not going to happen but I can still try. I feel like a strong aspect of a person is knowing themselves. I am preparing myself to have plenty of content down the road so I can take some days off if school needs more from me.
Getting to close out the week in a strong way. I felt very good over the week and have plenty of content to use over the next few days. This venture has just been going great over the last couple of weeks and with school starting up soon, I am happy to say I think I hit a the best amount of time in the summer. Of course it comes on the last week of summer.
Monday: 69 minutes
Tuesday: 65 minutes
Wednesday: 161 minutes
Thursday: 31 minutes
Friday: 50 minutes
Over six hours worked for this week. I am easily getting back to where I used to be before I went on summer break. I love hitting at least five hours and the last two weeks are the only two in a row where I hit that. Most amount of time hit since 6/22. I feel good. I feel like I am going to make this work eventually. Just keep on trucking.
