I create on a Sunday or of an evening. I am a busy person with life etc but always find the time.

I cut down many time wasting activites and it includes socialising with friends too much.
There can be time, but i only keep it to one day, which is Sunday.
Also, I have been sleeping much less, which someone else commented as well.

Hope it works. But yeah, bottomline is compromise..

How much of your time is wasted waiting for videos to render? It use to take me 8 hours to render a 30 minute video, then I realized my render settings were incorrect. On that same token, if you use Vegas Movie Studio, disabling resample on your videos saves time on the render as well.

I don't have a baby, but I have a full time job and adult responsibilities, and I haven't missed a daily upload in over 5 months. I'm primarily a gaming channel, but it's still time consuming.

I didn't "find" the time. I "made" time. Obviously your child comes first, but if you're anything like me, you'd be surprised how much time you have been wasting during the day.

3 ways:

1)Get up earlier and/or go to bed later to make more time.
2)Sacrifice other activities or spend less time doing them (TV, idle surfing of the interweb)
3)Streamline your YouTube workflow for making a new video.

Number 2 is usually the most efficient way. :)

see thats the hardest question when you cant just drop all the important things you have going on in your life in order to pursue something that MIGHT work out. its very easy to tell someone to drop something, in order to pick another thing up but lets be honest, you wouldnt be doing something if you didnt feel like it was important to begin with,

the way i find time to shoot edit and all that, is basically making a schedule in the morning, get all the musts out of the way first then any time after is YOUTUBE time, if i need to eat, i eat during youtube, if i need to shower, i shower while the video is rendering, its like... if you wanna actually find the time, you will find the time, but it really all depends on the type of videos you make, cause some videos will take the whole day to just make one , but the things such as reaction videos, you can make up to 5-7 even more videos a day, and the only thing that would take up your time is the editing process,

if you have a script thatll help out in the long run when it comes to editing, ive noticed whenever i have a script, i can edit a video in like 10-15 minutes

As mentioned, I then use premade templates for all the Seo stuff, same for thumbnail. Without the templates, I used to spent 2-3 hours on Seo and thumbnails, now it's 15-30 minutes.
When you say a premade template for SEO stuff, does that mean tags? Do you use the same tags in each video?

I do have a thumbnail template finally. Which has cut thumbnail making time down from about an hour to 5-10 minutes.

Time isn't found, it's stolen.
Time is finite, so you have to make tradeoffs to get more time.
Time is actually relativistic.
The faster you go, the more of it you have, or something like that.

On a different note, I see you are diversifying from your core expertise of candy reviews. Do you find this is best to do on your current channel, or open a new channel?

I struggle with this. These are great tips. You have to MAKE the time, you won't "FIND" it.

This week I spent 6 hours editing my latest video. It's almost a half hour long. It took over 4 hours to film. After editing, I set it to render at about 11PM and went to bed. I set the alarm for 3:30am. Woke up, went downstairs, quickly checked the file, then set it to upload (4gb) in Private Mode and went back to bed. When I woke up at 7am, the file was uploaded and processed and ready for me to handle all of the descriptions, tags, SEO, etc while I had my morning coffee before work.

We're likely going to spin off some new channels but we're taking our time.
