My Weekly Routine for Productivity as a Content Creator 2025

Just because you’re a content creator, doesn’t mean it has to take over your entire life. Work-life balance while still posting consistently IS possible, you just need to be disciplined about it. Today I wanna show you my current weekly content creation routine, so you can see how I create my weekly YouTube video, Instagram Reels and TikToks, and my newsletter - while still having time for other things in life. If you’re looking for structure, feel free to copy my schedule because I think it works pretty well for creating consistently but pacing things out so you don’t get too overwhelmed.
