6:42am - It’s Monday and after my first good weekend of sleep in weeks I feel ready to go…back to bed.
Just kidding.
Started off today making breakfast for the kids and getting them ready to goto school.
7-8:30am: Checked my email, read the news while readying the kids. Then, my wife and I drove the kids to school.
9:40-got home from dropping off the last kid and stopping at a deli to get an egg and cheese with saltpeppaketchup on it. So good.
10pm-said my morning prayers then got down to work.
Spent the first hour logging footage from footage I shot this weekend and starting to edit a few videos.
I find that I alternate between editing footage on Final Cut Pro on my laptop and editing videos on my iPhone using either iMovie or Premiere Rush. That took a couple of hours at which point it was time to pick up my son again. So I packed up my stuff and got ready to go before realizing my wife was picking him up.
12:15p: So, I checked social media then got lunch ready for my son. I had to do a quick favor for my wife who had an upcoming meeting.
1p-My wife got back with the kid. She did her meeting and I watched our son for the next two hours while finishing edits on a couple of videos. Wrote up the SEO and posted it to relevant social media. I am still working on doing more batch creation, not just in video production and editing, but in thumbnails and SEO description and the like.
By 3pm my two daughters and her friend were home and the house soon reached its usual chaotic pitch and my work came to end.
330pm-snack time for the kids (it’s a full time job being a mom and dad).
4pm afternoon prayers and then left to catch a train into the city. I’m in the train as I write this heading into Manhattan for a work meeting followed by dinner with one of my oldest friends in the world.
I have about twenty minutes and another hour in the city before my meet ups are happening so I am going to write a scene on my new book.
Thank goodness for noise cancelling headphones and a beautiful view out my window on the train.
