Hey you guys! many of us are either Schooling or Working and boy does sh*t get hectic especially when schedules get packed with work. How do you guys cope with uploading on a scheduled basis whilst tackling this pay to win thing called LIFE :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Man, I get a bit touch and go.

I like to upload on fridays and some times I film and edit on thursday till mid night then process video as I sleep. Set video to upload friday morning then head to work.

It sounds crazy but I know if I stop and miss a week it is really hard to get momentum again - it has taken me weeks before to get going after an unscheduled stop.

It can certainly be rough! I normally capture every night after work for a hour or two. Then after about 3 days of capturing I start to edit and then render it while I sleep. then upload it when I leave for work. Then repeat that process lol. I would like a better schedule though. What about you?

One way around is to decrease the frequency of uploads but to increase the quality of the videos.
I think this is what we did in the last year or so.

I record my vids on monday, on tuesday i work on the thumbnail and edit the vids, then i upload the same day or just wait until wednesday to upload. If im feeling it, i upload multiple times a week and try to get everything done in 2 hrs or less

Managing YouTube is definitely hard especially if you want to upload daily or a lot of the days a week. Eventually if you wanna do it all the time you would have to maybe quit your job. That's only if youre successful though

I've moved this to the Strategies and Technique Advice forum. =)

I've been struggling with this, too.. x_x;; I've learned that I get more stuff done in the mornings, so I've been trying to wake up early to work on things. I think it's helpful to try to figure out what time of day you are most productive, and to try to squeeze in more tasks during your most productive hours. ^^

I love lazy days where I get to live in my PJ's. ^^ Those days are the best! But they are hard to come by these days. =( There is something about getting dressed that makes me get more stuff done. Maybe try wearing more fancier clothing than normal? lol It might work! ^^

Btw how long have you been playing the violin for?
Hmm..about 12 years of playing as a hobby. ^^
