To Do: Multitasking My Business, Music, and Comics

Sometimes balancing my multiple projects can often feel like an overwhelming task. I sit and think out loud about the tasks I need to juggle this week from my vintage reselling business, my band, and my webcomic series.

In this video vlog, I begin the week by prioritizing tasks and setting goals. I'm going to mark them as I go along.

✅ = Done

⏲ = Still waiting

Vintage reselling business - The Pop Culture Roadshow

With a vintage reselling business to run, the first order of business is to pack orders from weekend sales on platforms like eBay and Mercari. 

As I pack these items I need to record a 'What Sold' video for my Pop Culture roadshow YouTube channel, turning the task into video content.

✅ Pack orders

✅ List new items I got from estate sales (See my latest eBay store listings here)

⛔ Create a new "What sold" video for my YouTube page (Recorded not edited - Laptop upgrade issues)

Band - Lorenzo's Music

I've also got a new song out this month so I need to do some music promotion for my band, Lorenzo's Music. We've been releasing a new song every 45 days for the past year and I need to create reels for the latest single. We also have a new podcast that needs to come out Friday. Plus, we also have a weekly live music stream we do every Wednesday. So I need to write the show outline for that. 

✅ Edit and upload a new music podcast with Nicholas Burgess (Listen to the interview here)

✅ Set up our Live music stream for the week (Lorenzo's Music Live Streams on YouTube)

✅ continue promoting our latest single "Blue water friction"

Webcomic - Bobert and the Monster

I also have my new webcomic series, 'Bobert and the Monster,' available on Comixology. I need to draw a new page and also live stream the drawing process on YouTube, so I not only produce content but also do it in real time.

⛔ Draw a page for the new story (Only got as far as penciling a page)

⛔ Schedule live drawing streams for that (Laptop upgrade issues)

✅ Amazon book ads

As if that weren't enough, I'm working on expanding my email list. I need to brainstorm some effective lead magnets and set up a landing page, to grow my audience and promote my various creative endeavors. But this is more of a continuing project, not one that I need to finish this week.

Happy Halloween!

Vocal ideas.

Up until that point I really liked how it was going. It kinda blocked the whole thing. I'll figure something out.

Day 6 Prague: Prague Castle.

I've told this story to several people and not only did none of them know who Sadie Sink was they told me they don't watch Stranger Things?
