Dear diary,

Today I came to state that I am simply…tired! Work is doing me in and I have no idea how to balance work AND continue working on my (still hopeful) future career as a full-time content creator. I only have this one part-time job and the exhaustion of dealing with multiple people for multiple hours (plus other factors) has me drained when I clock out. I’m not sure how creators with full-time jobs or multiple jobs can keep up with making content consistently. I need a super energy drink or a high-level type of espresso to drink after work to have the energy just to do the admin part of being a creator, let alone creating the actual content.

The crazy part (which isn’t too crazy since it’s a job), is that I am known to be reliable at work. I may not come in if I’m needed on my off day, but you can practically bet that I’m going to show up for my shift. What is crazy is how I’m more reliable for something I don’t plan on staying in versus something I’m trying to make into my career. I have to redeem myself reliable again as a content creator. Just as managers began to see me as reliable based off of how often they see me clocking into my shifts, I have to deem myself as reliable to my supporters and brands by clocking in consistently. I just need help on how to get the energy to do both!
