How to manage time?
I currently studying Motion Picture Arts and I barely get to sleep because of my homework, I also daily vlog (it's like a video diary) and I also do weekly videos on youtube, I'm very invested in everything I do, but I don't get much free time. My sister tells me to stop at least daily vlogging, but I've done it for 3 years and I feel like I can't stop now. Do you have any tips on how to manage my time better? Thanks #time-management #editing #youtube #video-production #video-editing #post-production #vlog
