- Previously I made a video about how I make money as an artist in 2022. Today I'll share how I manage my time and balance those multiple careers. First, I'll walk through my habits that I developed over the years and then I'll walk through how I literally structure a week in my life.

Lol you have so much energy, after my 9 to 6 animation job my brain is fully out of commission. Good for you I'm so happy you can do it.
To anybody else reading this: it's not your fault if you can't do what Michelle does. Sure organisation helps but there is also different level of energy that each person has in a day. I did have a schedule like that once and I was not doing ok at all.
Don't feel like just because someone else is capable of it you should to. Everyone's different.
Go to the gym
@@tebhernandez i do, it's not enough for me to have the MENTAL energy to work on creadive progecys for 12 hours every day. Energy is not only phisical. There is also creative energy, if I have to squeeze my creative juice for 8 hours then there is not enough left.
what she does is also the product of discipline, passion, good habits, and repetition. Yeah, people aren't expected to do everything at her pace and I'm sure she also has days where the routine doesn't happen but it's not a bad idea to start building habits in that direction.
@@lawrencelopez9839 i was not commenting to shame her or something. I just know for a fact that organisation is not the solution at all unless one takes into account their own body and mind. I feel like it's important to remind everyone I can that you are not a bad person if you don't manage to overextend yourself like this working even on the weekends. It's ok to be normal and not an over archiver like Michelle, again, good for her, but it's ok to just exist sometimes.
Thanks for this. I have ADHD and I keep being told "form habits" "be organized" when it's literally the thing my brain is weakest at. I still try and keep trying but it's nice to have a reminder that being weak at this doesn't make me a failure.
Yea. From the last video about the job and the side hussles, this is exactly my question bc it sounded like a one-way ticket to burnout. Glad we're getting a video about the time management behind all the amazing work you do!!
I am glad and hope this video helped in some way!!
This is absolutely the path to burnout.
This is really useful specially when I’m trying to do TH-cam while working on my shortfilm and also trying to keep up with school literally almost had a mental breakdown doing homework
i need a morning routine video cuz dang gurl, 6am to start work?! my routine takes a good hour to fully get myself awake and ready for the day 🤣🤣
side note: COMPLETELY agree with working from home. it used to take 4 hours total out of my day to commute to/from work and honestly I thank the pandemic for stopping that nonsense
This is really useful specially when I’m trying to do TH-cam while working on my shortfilm and also trying to keep up with school literally almost had a mental breakdown doing homework
This video couldn't have released at a more perfect time, I just reduced my hours at my day job so I can kickstart my tattoo art career but I was going crazy trying to figure out how I could juggle the two. You answered many of my questions and gave me motivation, thank you Michelle!
such a smart way to organize your schedule! I love that you left a good chunk of time for "doing what you want" i think that is so incredibly key to preventing burnout (along with the time for exercise!)
As an animator who is finally getting traction in my own field, this was very insightful on time management. I really enjoy your videos, as they are informative and insightful. Keep up the lovely work!
Thanks i really hope it helped!!
Thank you for sharing your week plan with us 😃✨
Thanks for the video explaining how you manage your time :) it helps a lot to see how it looks like
I miss your videosssss! I've been busy with school lately preparing for college. Glad you're back to doing more videos in this style!
Damn, this video is AWESOME!
Thank you for sharing this! Showing the weekly schedule is so helpful
Appreciate you doing these insightful videos Meesh ❤️ I recently had to put my storyboarding career on hold and get a 9-5 boring office job (needed something stable to pay off the quarantine debt). Been really trying to get back on my side hustle grind and this time management video is on point ✨️✨️
this one was super super useful, thank you!! love from Argentina 🥰🇦🇷💜
I come back to this video at least once every week, sometimes my brain finds it so hard to concentrate so this productivity video gives me a lot of motivation and energy! Thank you meesh for your amazing videos!
No.5 is the most useful for me. Thank you! I can get up early now but still can't make myself do less appealing tasks in that extra time.
omg im starting a fulltime job right now and really needed a guide since I study as well, thank you so much!!!!
This video is game changing for me. I've been struggling with time management on my side hustles and this helped me to visualize how to do it. I hope that now I plan better my time and hopefully, won't be so tiresome.
Michelle, I've been watching your content for years and I think that me and other subscribers share the sentiment that we just really love the videos you're making now. It's especially helpful to me because I'm looking to pursue animation/art as well. I know this is technically your second job, but still thanks for putting this information out there, it's really useful!! :D
Thank youuu !! this is so useful to me! I noticed that I don't feel as motivated by Wednesday but I never planned around it :D definitely going to take a good look at my schedule now and perhaps emulate yours a little :D thanks again!
Love it and all the advice! I've started full time illo job earlier this year and found it super difficult to juggle other projects and stay motivated (plus I got two kids so waking up at 6 am is actually my normal ^^'). Thanks for sharing your schedule!
This video is incredibly helpful. Even if someone doesn't have multiple projects going on, pretty much everything in life can be considered its own category that can be fit into this list into some way. I hope to be able to develop my own proper routine and start committing to it. Thank you for your advice as always :)
Just wanted to drop by and say how comforted I feel when watching your videos. Lately I’ve been so confused in terms of making art in general and hearing u be so transparent and just talking about how you’ve been able to navigate life as an artist is what I rly needed to hear 😭
I've been wanting to create again but have been overwhelmed with how to manage my time with my day job, thank you for making this!
I would say just start to create, although it might not be the best advice just do what you want for a little bit then try and catch up with actual things. This is video was really useful specially when I’m trying to do TH-cam while working on my shortfilm and also trying to keep up with school literally almost had a mental breakdown doing homework.
Your schedule is stuffed but the money and fun activities you can do with the money is totally worth it. Some people from a local animation studio came by and chilled while my professor held an extra help session and I thought they were so cool and down to earth. Do you ever get so excited about a project you can’t wait till they open the window for talking about it? Does that feeling fade? I finished watching Oni last night, great work!
Oni was great! Congrats !
Great video! This makes me feel motivated. I'm usually so burnt out with my day job that I'm unable to do my side hustles but hopefully these tips will help me in the long run.
This helped me so much! Thank you
Thankyou for this insight you really are a dope person for showing this process some of us need to see how it’s done to do it ourselves Thankyou again
Appreciate this video 🌻✨
This was really helpful, thank you for making this! I've been really enjoying your videos lately!
Thank you im so glad!!
Wow! I hope you really take care of yourself, sounds so much work. My full time job is sucking up so much energy, I could never add so many hours on top, that’s the hard part, glad it works out for you! Stay strong and healthy ❤
A Productivity Flag!
Great video, I never thought about switching the similar activities to one day. Thank you!
Yeah i realized i deplete more energy when i do too many unrelated things in the same day so it helps me for sure!
this is so helpful! I am also a content creator, own a photography business, going back to school for an ART degree, and teach dance 15hrs a week! Whew it sounds crazy typing it out like that!
I always try to get a more strict plan, but then it always falls apart XD
But etleast I am able to plan out one week at a time.. sorta. Sometimes things happen, that were not planned, and it throws me completely off. 😅 Thank you for the video. It is always nice to get some inside on how other people doing those things.
This video was insanely helpful. Thank you for sharing!! Where does caring for your cats fit into your schedule? I have to spend around 2-3 hours a day for my dog because he's elderly (but happy and healthy!) Also, It's good to see being productive does not have to come at the cost of taking time off for yourself. I think that's why I burned out - I was pushing myself 7 days a week and ultimately injured my hand.
Haha i guess for me taking care of my cats is always apart of each event in my schedule 😂🤣 every time im doing any of the things mentioned in the schedule there are always moments within them im playing, petting, feeding them! In fact they jsut sit on my lap half the time i work too 🤣
This is so helpful, thank u! I love making schedules it's just actually starting anything is my issue 😭 it's like, how much can you prepare for it to be enough? What's the most appropriate thing to post for optimum engagement? It's questions like that that I dwell on too much that stops me from doing anything rlly. Perhaps I have to set due dates for myself and post whatever I've planned by the end of it? Or present different models to myself? 🤣 I'll make a compelling ppt with different costumes and present it in a board room of mirrors 🤣 funny, but not funny 😭 cri.
Ok, essentially I'm an overthinker. Gotta figure this out. But, thanks again for the lovely video ❤️
I'm catching up ti the videos I missed during the hectic fall semester and this is the 3rd video I'm on of a "this is a continuation of the previous video" chain, and looks like I have to go back one again.
No one to blame but myself, LOL.
A really helpful video for someone doing double major and having a work lol I’m just mad I can’t schedule things perfectly because my classes are scattered throughout all day
Can you do a video abt marketing strategies for ur online shop? Thanks so much for this one ❤
I would love to hear how your family and life factors in this. Marriage, children etc. love the video.
I full admit I am horrible at juggling job projects with other projects or life stuff, really really need to start making a schedule and stick to it
Loved the visual of your schedule! Im an avid google calendar user and often schedule similarly, but I do wonder how do you make sure you don't overwhelm yourself and burn out from working all the time?
I started my career in storyboarding this year, not knowing that the local industry had JUST wrapped up multiple projects at the time and that there was a project vacuum; aka there's no work. I honestly thought I was the problem for being too niche until I learned this last week. It kinda sucks that its SO MUCH more project-based and unstable, but I guess having multiple projects really does run in the storyboard-world (having 2 comics in the making myself)
I hope i will have that lifestyle in the future. I want to work as ilustrator/storyboardist ;w;
"Done is better than perfect." Omg yes!
Great schedule, but quick question: when do you do your chores? I always find this so hard to fit in!
THIS IS AN AMAZING VIDEO TYYY but also i have a question: switching between so many things in one day, plus job which is 8 hrs long, how do you sustain so much mental activity without slowing down a little
i do a lot of things too, im an art teacher, i worked on a magazine, i do illustration and my personal proyects at the same time U_U
I didn't knew I was struggling with the third advice t.t cooking meals are kinda time consuming too for me
Woah, i have tried a schedule, but living with my family doesnt allow for much so most of the time I wake up at 5am to do my own thing before 6am before work
Thats great if you get some time to yourself in the mornings!
@@mewTripled thanks for answering! You keep pushing foward so I'll do it too! Thanks for the advice
im sorry but i felt so tired and nauseated from this sched....its just not possible for me when i think about it, thanks for sharing ur management skills might look into how i use my time in a day to figure something that works
but may i just say ur really built different even if im not capable of this yet i admire u already
Thank you for the video
Plse the backgroud musuic is not leting me focus in what you saying
So many noise
Thank you again
I have 3-4 meals a day , homecooked
This is hard to manage with 2 jobs
🥰❤️😋
First
You just trolled me with that "30 years ago" lmao. I thought it was a glitch 💀
Lol thanks!!! 😂
@@mewTripled THAT WAS YOU?! BAHSJ I've been trolled again! x'D love your videos queen ^^
girl you like..............wake up at 6...........each morning................like..............................................................
you know what i think it is -- it's a mix of anxiety and the fact that i sometimes feel like i never truly changed timezones from NY since i used to live there X''D idk i just am naturally more of an early bird too i guess...LOL
What about hobbies? ;____; or just living life…outside of work : (
friday nights, weekends! it's already difficult to plan with friends / fam on weekdays since everyone works already,/ but of course there are still exceptional days where a weekday will be planned in advanced for living your life. i personally don't feel like i've lost those aspects even with this schedule? again this is just what works for me
Do you have a family?
Hello mewTripled! I really appreiciate your video. It's given me a lot on insight on how to improve my implement concepts into my own schedule as an animation student. Again, I always enjoy hearing about your experiences in the industry. Thank you!
Great video! This makes me feel motivated. I'm usually so burnt out with my day job that I'm unable to do my side hustles but hopefully these tips will help me in the long run.
Good luck buddy!
