I always write everything down so I have enough material for a script, filming the sketch in a video doesn't take so long but I always procrastinate filming the actual video itself.
Most of the time I'm busy with college etc but there are moments that I have time but I'm just not in the mood to film lol
It's mainly because the camera that I record with has the quality of an 80's TV show and records everything as .mod files and converting .mod files without losing quality/resolution is nearly impossible.
But other than that I do enjoy editing the video and I'm always surprised how fast I actually manage to finish a video once I filmed the main part and edited the entire video.
Whenever I finish a video I always think to myself: When will I start working on the next video? and What will the next video be about?
Making videos is fun but uploading a video every week is just hard for me even though I'm pretty sure that I could actually do it, schedules and planning is just not my thing :U

I keep a notebook with content ideas. I right down ideas as they come. I then go through the lists periodically and pick some things out. Most of the actually planning is making sure my equipment is set and charged. I also will write down a shot list for more complex videos. Nothing's worse then getting your edit together and not having a key shot. I did a recipe video and I forgot to film the key ingredient being added. I had to go out and buy the ingredient again and reshot adding it to the recipe.
One thing I found helpful is going back through my old footage periodically to see if there is something I could assemble quick and publish. Good luck!

I've Got It
I do gaming videos and I plan out ahead about 2 weeks. I figure out how long it takes to an episode and then I see how many videos I can do on the subject. Once that is figured out, I go in and start thinking of my next game.
Example: My current series is Pokemon Stadium. Both play modes (Gym Leader Castle and Stadium Mode) will take about 18 videos considering I put a series intro video out. I know that at my pace of one video a day, I have just over a half a month of videos to play, record, edit, and upload. I already have my next series thought of (Pokemon Red) so I know around video 15 to start announcing it. As for that one, i could easily get 35 parts so I know I have a month or so of gameplay in it.
I don't really have scripts but I have some things that I do for every video now. I welcome everyone early, I ask some questions early and then some more throughout. I just talk about anything that I feel and I leave it open for my audience, I end asking for a like or sub. I really don't know if this is good yet or not because my viewership has been low but I hope to see as my views increase per video.
