Today’s video is basically me getting my creative life together before a very busy November. I started the day a little later than planned (I had a meeting with potential management and I’m still on the fence), but I still tried to set myself up for success—because I’m genuinely more productive when I physically get ready. If I stay in super comfy clothes with no makeup, I will absolutely end up back in bed, so getting dressed is my little accountability hack. From there, I walk you through my full planning routine for the month ahead. I map out my YouTube uploads first by brain-dumping ideas on my phone, then moving to pen and paper (because nothing gets me more creative than a simple notebook), and finally organizing everything inside Milanote using my own planning template. Since I’m working with three brands this month, I wanted to get ahead so future Dani can breathe. Then I plan short-form content in a way that actually feels manageable: repurposing my long-form YouTube videos into vertical clips. I also share how I’m using OpusClip AI to pull my best talking sections and help with reframing horizontal footage. To close out, I do a more personal notebook “tour”—my weekly priorities notepad, my Midori church notebooks, my Bible reading/study notebook system, and my ceramics notebook as I sketch out what I want to make before the semester ends.
