A Week Creating My New Routine

I've recently started a new chapter in my life being a full time freelancer.
With the responsibility of working for myself, I am slowly creating my new routine & this week I want to share some thoughts I have had.
This will be an on-going series where I will try to keep it 100% with y'all, the ups & downs of being self employed.
I truely appreciate all of your support to the channel.

As a freelance video editor, I can relate. Ever since I started to wake up at 6 am, I feel like I can accomplish so much more and in much more relaxed atmosphere. I take my time with my coffee, I take my time with journaling, I take my time with my workouts, and even walking the dog. So when I’m in my working state, I am relaxed and focused without the anxiety of not doing enough (and if I’m having a lazy day, it’s ok too). Another thing that changed my life , since I have a hard time getting in the zone for long period of time (ADD, like everyone) I use the pomodoro timer that cuts my working hours into chunks. It’s cutting your working hours into let’s say 50 minutes work and 10 minutes break cycles. It can be 20/10 or whatever works for you. And in my 10 minutes break I force myself to get up and do something physical that makes you move. Like vacuum the house, water the plants. It forces you to give yourself a break physically and mentally.

[@Havenotats]

Ahh a timer is a great idea! Sometimes I end up working for a few hours without a break & It definitely does have after effects 😅 Ill try it out today ~

[@Ayelet.M]

@@Havenotats Same haha it saved me from burning out.

[@jellyg0d]

As a fashion and magazine lover I fell to my knees when you said you didn't know W Magazine (especially with the big ass W on the cover). But great video as usual! I love to get my inspiration from magazines as well.

[@Havenotats]

lmao yeah I wasn't sure what it was called ~

[@jackson615]

"The future is in the past" ~ Those who don't care about the past are doomed to repeat it is how I interpret it (Winston Churchill). Would love to see a video focused on the digicams! Great vlog, as always!

[@Havenotats]

Well said! Nigo really be on something else 💭

[@jackson615]

@@Havenotatslove seeing these replies. Was gonna mention I'd love to see more home decor/tour stuff too. Already looking at getting those incense and tear away calendar 🙌✨

[@justgowithflo]

Stumble upon the channel and now im hooked. Really like the edits and cinematic feel to it

[@Havenotats]

Thank you!

[@Indeanial_]

Omg I have the same book! Such a neat book :) also yes to a video on the cyber shot camera pls

[@Havenotats]

Yess! So affordable for what it is ?!?!

[@fabianachaparro163]

Really love your videos! I was doing documentary filmmaking for a news org last year and I've been looking for channels that might help me develop my visual senses further, and everything you've put out is so inspiring. Something about the lighting and the almost quiet but present quality to it -- so thank you for sharing! (also W Magazine has always had my favourite editorials, you can't go wrong with any of their issues!)

[@Havenotats]

Thank you for the kind comment! All the best to you ~

[@leepeter9775]

Amazing video and congratulations on becoming a full-time freelancer! That's an amazing achievement. Looking forward to seeing more of your work

[@Havenotats]

Nice one bro, excellent communication skills on show here, neat edit too. This is a solid addition to the collection ☕️🌟✨👌

[@Havenotats]

Thank you friend 🙏🏼

[@j0anna363]

howww do your videos keep getting better and better?!?! i loved the vibe of this one

[@Havenotats]

😍

[@eoarwyn]

From one freelance creative to another, great video! I love to-do lists, too. Will definitely try the warm-up task tip because sometimes I just plunge myself into editing a long video because *deadline is waving* but you're right, it's better to treat it like a sport. I also need to think of the process as a marathon, not a sprint. P.S. That Miyazaki book is doooope

[@Havenotats]

I must have heard it from somewhere before but after implementing this small little routine into my mornings, I actually do feel a bit more productive! ( I love the book haha )

[@Jenniesvisualdiary]

Another dope one 🫡

Oh really ! hahha

[@Josephhall.design]

Looking forward to seeing your progress as a full-time freelancer! Would you have any tips that have helped you find new clients when you were just starting out?

[@Havenotats]

Thank you ~ I've found that If you create unpaid work with the intention of it being a paid project, you will slowly find yourself in a position where people will reach out to you with those projects you created as reference. Ill talk about this more in a future video!

[@ChillStudyDate]

hey tatsuki,​ idk if you would share this info but, whats the average retention % and CTR like on your videos, like how many watch till the end, Ima youtube myself and want to see what avg retention other youtubers are getting.

[@EllybethVideos]

[@Havenotats]

Yess! Will do ~

LETS GOOOOOOOO

[@Havenotats]

LFG

[@jeffsimone]

Bruh, you gotta talk through about how you color code your timeline in more detail. It was somehow pleasing to see the organization.

[@Havenotats]

I think my timeline is very simple compared to most people, I just colour code the types of clips (A-roll/B-roll) and have sounds on seperate lines to not get confused! Otherwise I use coloured markers on the top of the timeline to label segments of the video (intro / middle / end ect..)

[@jeffsimone]

@@Havenotats Having come from Final Cut I find Premiere Pro to be more complex. So these tips on organizing timelines and separating the different types of media are really good to know.

[@dontshootphotos3372]

"bro is yapping", that was funny to see on the timeline clip on davinci

[@Havenotats]

lmao for real

[@happyhappyaus2128]

Have you been to Maido cafe in Surry hills? Great place to work away :)

[@Havenotats]

Noo but it is on "the list" hahaha ~ Thank you for the recommendation!

[@AyeeSkyy]

What sound library do you use for your videos?

[@Havenotats]

I'm using Epidemic Sound ~
