important schedule changes + work/life balance
Added 2023-01-26 11:33:47 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
This isn't a post I thought I would be making, but I think it's important I do say something before I get way too overwhelmed. I have been a bit nervous to say it because I don't want to disrespect or disregard the support I've been shown on here since starting my Patreon in August โค
Recently as you know I've been uploading every day of the week, infact since I started my Patreon I've never uploaded less than 4-5 days of the week because I am simply a silly anime girl who loves to binge watch things, but with that I have lost sense of life โ๏นโ
I don't have a 9-5 alongside this thankfully, I stream 3-4x a week on twitch, but currently with the amount of editing I have to do, my weeks are leaving me mentally drained and I'm losing touch with a few important areas I need to take care of (like having a chronic illness which is a nightmare at times lmfao). I'm also going to be moving house soon and I don't think I can back up enough content for the period I'm moving, and I'm not prepared to take a week off uploads. I am a one woman band, I don't have the means for an editor, so I gotta try my best to keep a good balance.
With that being said, I would love to go back to only uploading a maximum of 5 times a week, giving full opacity (tier 2), and timer reactions (tier 3) for every show I watch. I am so in love with this whole reaction experience, I don't want to lose that feeling.
I'm a little lost at present with what to do, especially with Your Lie In April, because I am enjoying it but I don't have as much appetite to react to it like I have with Attack On Titan, My Dress-Up Darling, Bocchi, etc. I LOVE it of course, it's adorable & heartbreaking all in one. One thing I'm always conscious of is having and keeping the appetite. I think for that reason I'm only going to work it into the schedule once a week.
I'm going to trial a schedule that better suits me for the coming weeks, and it looks like this (please note MDuD is already scheduled and finished so this will still be uploaded every sat/sun, this schedule is more effective after those uploads cease):
-----------------------
Mon: Attack On Titan || (tier 2, full opacity/audio - tier 3, timer)
Tues: Bocchi The Rock || (tier 2, full opacity/audio - tier 3, timer)
Wed: Attack On Titan || (tier 2, full opacity/audio - tier 3, timer)
Thurs: Bocchi The Rock || (tier 2, full opacity/audio - tier 3, timer)
Friday: Your Lie In April || (tier 2, full opacity/audio)
-------------------------
YouTube will also be affected by these changes, as I want to make sure Patreon is still 3-4 weeks ahead and sees the full benefits.
I am genuinely from the bottom of my heart so sorry to anyone who joined specifically for the 7 days of content, I have to try protect myself and longevity of my content and can only hope you understand ๐
any questions just ask :3 also my DMs are open on here!!
