[@shima_sutherland]

Ohhh Katie, I loved it so much every word and info inspired me 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@khloeabrown]

Notification Squad 💥 I think this type of video is coming at a great time for me. I need a better routine and structure in my life.

[@katie]

yay thanks for being early! and honestly I don't know how I would live without my routines and my self imposed structure, I need it haha

[@SociallyChrissyTV]

So agree. I just posted a reset video and my goal is better routine with productivity being the focus. Katie is the GOAT.

[@mtlcub]

👋Heyyyy !!! Great vlog for sure! It's always nice to see someone's else workflow! this is soooo important to maintain the right balance between productivity and self-care/mental health! Great vlog!!!

[@artgoshow]

Heyyy! You glow in the van. So happy for you. I'm older but plan to be more like you when I grow up. Lol. Thanks

[@katie]

that is so kind, thank you 🥹

[@shoppingonchampagne]

Hi Katie, I really enjoy your videos that combine your van-life with your biz. Thanks for all you do! 😀😃

[@katie]

awe thanks!!

[@tinyhabitsofme]

Heyyy 👋🏻 This was one of my favourite videos that you have done! I love learning about routines, productivity, and balance. Especially incorporating content creating. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏻 I appreciate you. xo

[@katie]

awe thank you so much!! i really want to make more videos like this - they're kind of my favourite too :)

[@franziskakraussart]

Heyyy👋! I was just optimizing my daily routine for the 2nd half of 2023 and loved seeing your take on this. For my mental health and fitness I added a long morning walk in the forest with my 🐕.

[@BrasicanaJuli]

Your notion templates are a LIFESAVER!! I can always watch these and think about structuring my day better but then stop because I’m trying to learn how to create these tools like the dashboard in notion to help.

[@harrietnwogo]

I enjoyed watching this vlog so much. Subscribed to Creator Letter immediately ❤

[@jessicaandis4494]

Hi I have watch a lot of your videos and I like how you show a lot of the behind the scenes of creators life and routine.

[@cptnd]

Really liked this longer form BTS type vid! Gets me excited for an upcoming roadtrip and thinking of ways I can capture our adventures, but I’m also a routine girly and thrive with consistency. Love seeing how you and Dan make it work on the road while checking out all these cool places

[@Jenniferadcock]

Hey! I love these videos! They are so helpful when trying to figure out KZbin and Instagram. I definitely struggle with getting it all in as I work full time, have two kids. But I love the way you plan I think that’s what I need!

[@harukakato2052]

I love that you shared this video with us! I started running instagram by myself for my business, and it can be really a toll on my mental health, and I think not many creator talk about that. So I appreciate you're talking about taking care of mental health for creators!

[@katie]

it's so important because burn out can literally ruin your career if you're not careful. now my main priority is balance!

[@theisabellebrown_]

Hey girl hey!! 👋🏽 love the van life content and always appreciate the realness when it comes to content creation. Keep it up!!

[@coachcarenfern]

Hey hey 😂I enjoy you and your content keep ‘‘em coming, as brand new KZbinr you’re one pf the people that gives me hope that I can actually do this 😅

[@SPIRITWILDCHILD28]

Watching from Panama, 68 and starting a channel called Retired in Panama, what it's really like to live here. Your videos are my go to for every subject. Thanks so much for all your hard work and for presenting everything in a way that helps me feel like I can do it! ❤

[@HitchandHitched]

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve just started my journey as a full time content creator and I struggle in getting used to it from my usual 9 to 5 job. Your video has given me some ideas on how I can block my time for my tasks. Thank you again 💕💕💕

[@GigiMurakami]

Yayyyy! Our girl is living her vlogging dreams 🙌🏾 I love the format of these vlogs! Ngl, I might use this structure for my vlogs too 😂 it’s super informative and fun to watch 🖤🖤🖤 pls do more 👉🏾👈🏾🥺

[@katie]

awe thank you! yes i am!! i was super happy to see that my weekly vlog from a couple of weeks ago actually performed quite well so I was like, why not try again! glad you like them :)

[@vc6036]

I started watching your video's. This is the third one thus far. Although I enjoyed the video, I thought it was a bit too long, for me. I actually was excited about creating a You Tube channel with the first two videos then saw this one and thought it was overwhelming with all that you do. I'm a mother of three and don't have that freedom of scheduling my own time. I agree with mental health being important. Thank you for sharing and creating informative videos. God bless you and your hubby.

[@becauseimhappii]

👋heyyy!! Thank u for this! Absolutely love watching ur channel - ur super helpful in sooooo many ways!! 🙏🙏🤗✨

[@boldblondfro]

I'd like to see more creators across more niches/genres talking about this. If you're not actively taking care of your mental health then you're neglecting it!

[@Comedianmsanita]

I found myself posting and editing on Facebook Tik-Tok and KZbin constantly.This video was very encouraging. I will definitely get back to my yoga

[@KlaraVyletal]

Heyyy ✌🏻 Loved the video! As always nice inspiration 😊

[@nayacerola]

Your Spanish sounds really good!! I have been starting to implement self care routines to my days too, working from home sometimes makes me feel overwhelmed. I enjoyed this video a lot

[@mariepaterik1980]

Hey! I really love your videos and being able to learn as a newbie! I've been struggling with chronic kidney disease, but progressing and during down time began creating a video on my CKD journey in order to help others on this same struggling path. Learning to create videos has been great for my physical and mental health. Thanks Katie.

[@joonmade]

🙋‍♀️ Hey! Totally enjoyed this. You always share such good advice and tips in a way that is also calming and digestible. Of the few people in this niche/genre I follow, you’re the one that actually convinced me that I could and should start a channel! 😊

[@hannahgeurkink]

Love this vlog/informative video style!

[@SEIDAYS]

I appreciate all the info you share with us.. thank you

[@ananxiousnerd]

Hey! Aspiring content creator here. I really love your videos! So real and so motivating. Thank you!

[@donnecoetzee8651]

Heyyyy👋🏽 Thank you for sharing the content that you share! I can’t tell you how inspiring and educational it has been for me. I’m a singer/songwriter from south africa who is really trying to be better at social media marketing and it can be really overwhelming! You sharing makes it feel less overwhelming!🌻 So thank you! Absolutely love your stuff✨

[@brittanyadays]

Love the video! It's so cool that you share your van life adventures and your regular day to day back at home. It helps so much, as a part-time creator, to see the routine and self-care of a full-time creator. Balancing productivity and personal development is so important.

[@DevinTheGardener]

You are a fantastic creator. I am about to jump into the KZbin life myself on gardening. It scary to say the least but what I've learned from you is amazing. Thank you Katie! You the best

[@JosieMichelleDavis]

Heyyyy 👋 love this! So interesting seeing your routine while in the van. Like most people I really romanticized van life during the pandemic, but have since realized the limited personal space would destroy me personally and I have huge respect for people who can do it with their partners 👏👏👏

[@katie]

haha that is very fair - personal space is very limited! but we seem to make it work 😅

[@inah6655]

I love your videos. They are so helpful for me.

[@CLEliasArt]

Heyyy👋Thank you for being so realistic and grounded and willing to share that. As I approach launching my first channel, I have found your advice both valuable and reassuring. I will take these points on balance to heart!

[@TheJazzyNation1]

Hey!!! I loved this video. Great work as always, Katie!

[@katie]

thank you so much 🥹

[@AndreinaGonzalez]

Heyyyy 👋 love how relatable can be this video and what you shared, even if I'm here in my apartment it really feel like that.. Thank you!! And of course I love your vlogs and I totally understand the struggle with it 💜

[@marcialicole]

Hi!! I'm Marcia! I love your content and it inspires me so much! keep going you are doing a fabulous job, beautiful!! Thank you for sharing all your hard work! Have a great week!

[@katie]

hey Marcia!! thank you so much 🥰

[@CharlotteKanStudio]

I love the realistic approach 😅 Way more relatable than the productivity guru's ;)

[@alyssabeck5097]

👋🏻 Heeyyy! 😂 I'm late in watching, but I've been bingeing your videos lately. Been sitting on some YT ideas for YEARS, and I'm finally so irritated that I haven’t done anything about it... that I've actually started filming and practicing. Thank you for all your help so far! I know I'll be back for more. 💛

[@hlt8770]

You made my day, Katie! Love when you post. Thank you for the reminder to take care of ourselves. (PS LOVE your van!)

[@katie]

awe thank you so much!! ❤️

[@buffystachel]

Hey, hey! Katie! Great video! You’re doing fantastic! I appreciate your content so much……great minds--just this morn made Friday my day for plan sesh for new week! Sending encouragement and support! 😊

[@katie]

[@LadySurvival]

I've been loving your videos recently!!! I pull up like 10 videos at a time in my tabs and just go through them when i get the chance you definitely deserve more views!!

[@katie]

that's so sweet, thank you 🥹

[@jessicastites9123]

Hey Katie! Thank you for your videos ❤

[@fuzziespetgrooming6750]

I love your vids. We are on the same vibe and your vids help me alot

[@katie]

[@ChristianBroad]

always and forever an end of the video bestie! I’ve been starting myself up as a content creator the last couple of months and your channel and guidance has been so invaluable to me. love your work, your energy and your outlook on life and balance 🤍 and enjoy the gorgeous van life!! yoga with that view is enough to bring a moment of calm in even the most frenzied of days 🫶🏼

[@katie]

awe thank you so much Christian! ❤️ yes yoga with that view was unmatched 🙌🏻

[@ma.riahKE]

I just watched your video on storytelling in vlogs and I love that this vlog is a perfect example🤩

[@katie]

awe thank you so much!!

[@racheh8290]

Love your videos Katie! You have inspired me to up my content/video creation game and transition out of a 9-5. Keep up the great work!

[@elizabethcmclaughlin]

This was awesome and really helpful in terms of planning my own balance.

[@katie]

so glad to hear that, thanks for watching! ❤️

[@shoreseeker]

Loved this video Katie, I’ve been dreaming of being a digital nomad and content creator for a long time and I’ve always wondered how to have that work life balance when I do make the plunge into full time. I’m the same where I will prioritize work over anything and neglect my health, and I could see myself burning out so fast. Glad to see you keep up a good balance and have weekends!

[@MurphiiCreates]

Saw you mention to say Hey if we stuck around. I seriously love your realness, your vibes, all of it. Thank you so much for the amazing content!

[@trippingtheroad_liaandkevin]

Love how you stay true to yourself & show your vulnerable side as well while delivering so much information and insights! 😁

[@bethprior6518]

👋 heyy, I've been watching your videos for ageess and I love them. So inspiring! Thank you for sharing ☺

[@shima_sutherland]

Me too😊

[@AnnEvolving]

Heck yeah I watch til the end - I love your content. I always learn something that helps me in my KZbin journey🤗

[@Parammsingh]

Hey Katie, I am from India, I find your vlogs very much helpful in my daily life and I will try to implement your tips that you have shared in your content creation journey. Also, I love your confidence and fluency in your video.

[@samanthapvincent]

Heyyyy. Glad you got through it despite the emotions. ❤️

[@katie]

thanks Samantha!! it can be a rollercoaster sometimes lol

[@samanthapvincent]

@@katie I could only imagine!!

[@Joesephyr]

Love this Katie, I absolutely relate to a lot of this as a creator, thank you for posting! Organisation is such a big key x

[@lexjustlivin]

Katie this video is so good! I can't believe you get that all done before 5! Big fan of the routine videos

[@MissKatonikTV]

Really needed to hear this today, thanks for the video. Lovely as always!

[@katie]

thank you for watching!! ❤️

[@ambererwin89]

Hey, your videos are so helpful and motivating, I’m in the process of starting my own KZbin channel, while being a wife, mother, and working at the same time, it’s definitely a struggle to say the least, but I’m working it and and hopefully my content will be as good as yours someday, I’m always so impressed with your videos, they’re very interactive and informative, thanks for putting them out there!!

[@forwardmotionenthusiast]

Heyyyy! thanks for your amazing content and making this feel more realistic.

[@SuitcaseCoder]

This is great, thank you 🙏🏻 🎉

[@carolinacammilleri]

Heyyy :) Love your energy. Love your content. I appreciate you sharing the helpful and easy to apply tips and tricks.

[@soloquierodibujar]

Hey!!! I’m learning so much with all your content! Thank you very much!! ❤❤

[@CECILIAMORGAN]

Heyyy! Great content. I love that your mom told you to plan your work and work your plan. Can you talk more about her and advice to you and impact it has made. I noticed that you worked on videos that were awesome but didn’t seem to get a lot of traction for several years before they finally started getting a lot of views. This has really impressed me that you stuck with it for so long and essentially worked your plan until you got your success! I know you talked about getting discouraged along the way, but the fact that you kept going has really impressed me and motivated me to keep going as well. I definitely have not been as motivated or consistent as you, but looking through the evolution of your videos is giving me the push I needed to get back into video creation. After I record a few videos, I’m hoping to send them to Creatorly to get them edited. lol.😍

[@katie]

my mom has definitely inspired me! her dream since she was young was to start her own restaurant, and after she raised her kids she finally got to pursue it and opened her own place in 2020, in her fifties. that kind of persistence is admirable to me 🥰 and i love that - we'd be happy to edit your videos at Creatorly when you're ready!!

[@manodebruja.astrologia]

Hey, Katie! Dropping the hey. I'm from México. Two thumbs up on your Spanish learning. I'm an dancer an Astrologer, discovering and admiting I'm an introvert... sorta. Thinking about launching and drifting both of my careers as a content creator. Your videos are very enjoyable and I'm learning a lot. Thanks!

[@DogsEyeViewTraining]

Heyyyy 👋Loved this video! I've also had the goal of regular yoga practice, but have been struggling with that big time....... I need to get on a better evening routine though so my mornings aren't such a cluster. Staying up too late = rushed/hectic/not great morning.... Anyway! Thanks for sharing this!

[@eventlifeaustralia]

Love this video!! You are so talented at creating!

[@luxurywithportia]

Just out of my mouth came " I like her" Thank you for sharing! Loving your content my friend!!! Do you ever collaborate with other KZbinrs?

[@TomSato-r5i]

Love that you schedule your "ME" time! We're always told to do this but I know so few people who actually implement this effectively. Thank you for showing us how to do this and for also reiterating the importance of taking care of yourself to save your sanity. :)

[@damitamiller-shanklin]

Hi Katie, I recently started following you and watching your videos. I love how you explain things. I wanted to ask about your weekly planning. Where do you place your task list i.e. your computer, paper calendar? I like your planning system because I’m a planner and I like systems to follow. I’m just curious. Thanks Damita

[@sashateed]

obsessed with you and your content. you are such an inspiration

[@IfomaGenevieve]

Heyyyy! I love this video and your content! I'm working hard to balance my self care and starting to work and create content more currently. Thank you for sharing this video as it really helps to know that I'm not alone. I also am a HUGE Outlander fan!!!

[@emmasirus]

Great video ❤ How did you record the audio outside? It was windy but you sounded so clear!

[@thejessicagoodenough]

Heeyyy! 👋 Love your videos as always Katie, thank you for being so transparent. 😊

[@SusieLundmark]

Heyy! I appreciate you doing all the videos you do! You keep me entertained ad educated while I work my 9-5

[@marenstew]

heyyy!! I've been binging your videos today and they've really been helping me, as I've been stuck with where to go and how to balance everything with my new KZbin channel!! You seem so cool!! Thank you for all the advice!!

[@DanieMarie04]

My daughter likes watching you as well. Shes 5 1/2. When you were stretching she says I can do that!😂 love the van and the view and you!❤

[@katie]

that is the cutest thing I have ever heard 🥹 thank you so much for watching!

[@jaysigouin]

Hey! I'm new on your channel and just wanted to say how encouraging you are! All those tips are so simple and inspiring. Defenetly going to soak them in to work on my own channel. Big thanks!

[@ignismoon]

Heyy!! As a new KZbinr (who is still nervous ti make videos) for my small business .. you have given me great advice!

[@Lerato_thabaneng]

Heeeyy! Loved everything about this. Been batching on your video for 2 days now❤❤❤

[@BeautybyAnneChris]

Heyyyy 👋🏻 I love these productivity videos ❤️Have fun in the van!

[@gloriacondy]

So nice to hear everyone goes through the same thing when making content and dealing with social media 😅 the amount of times I’ve had to tell myself “focus” when opening up Instagram to upload something is ridiculous 😂 Love the way you explain every step of your process and the value you provide 💕

[@PahtyinthePetiole]

Heyyyyy! Really learning a lot from your videos! I'm just starting a planty channel! Ty so much!!

[@BobbieLavender]

Your look so gorgeous as always. I love the new vlog style videos. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@createdbyeli1]

Heyyy! Love your videos. It seems so much more manageable when it is broken down in smaller chunks.

[@AbroadDiarieswithDelyn]

You inspire me in so many ways! Love your videos Katie

[@claudiavargas7900]

Katie your Spanish speak is on point. Congratulations

[@HowToGYST]

👋 Heyyy! 😉 Can definitely relate to needing goals, even for hobbies.

[@katie]

hey hey!!! exactly, like somehow I am just hard wired to need to seek progress over time or else I feel lost lol

[@HowToGYST]

I try turn them into creative goals. For example, I had a goal of getting out for a walk in a local park three times a week but switched it to taking one nice photo in the park. Still achieving the goal but felt a lot more fulfilling and less like a chore.

[@PattersonArtStudio]

I need to see and hear this today! Thanks so much! ❤

[@annaltd]

Would love to see if you’ve got a video on your notion set up or if you’ve got any templates

[@TheMarshallWalker]

Heyyyyy!! 👋 Love your videos! You’re so inspiring and always motivate me to work harder on my content!

[@AjiraDarch]

heyyy! This was great. Thanks for sharing this vlog and love that you're talking about how different things can be when you're in vanlife mode!

[@MandiLynnWrites]

I did not know premier pro auto-generates sub-titles! Game changer!

[@aohamer]

I love making the thumbnails too! I start doing that 1st to get me more excited about the editing process. Your tip about filming the thumbnail and grabbing stills from it was a game-changer for me! Loved seeing your day. Thanks for sharing 💕"Hey!" Proud to be an official MVP 😆

[@katie]

heyyy bestie!! yes thumbnails are honestly so fun haha

[@sailboatmedia]

Just saying heyyyy!!!👋🏻 Your mindset towards business inspires me always

[@Morgita_23]

I really appreciate your transparency about mental health and obsessing over numbers. Since I started Managing a social media account for an aerial dance company, I found myself really obsessing over those things and doubting myself for not being able to grow their numbers consistently. It's refreshing to know that someone who is objectively successful doing what I hope to be successful in, sometimes feels that way too. Thank you!
