A Day in the Life: Behind the Scenes in the Office with Kids Back in School

Hello. Happy Tuesday. I thought we can do something different today, and I can take you guys with me, like, on a spend the day with me in the office kind of thing. Since my kids are back at school now, I’m officially, like, in the office by myself the entire day, and so I thought it would be fun to just. This is what I do. So it’s the Tuesday after Labor Day, so this is usually what I do on Mondays. I go through and I do all the pending orders, pack stuff up, get stuff ready for the week, plan out the week. So, yeah, that’s what I’m gonna do today. This is literally where I spend a majority of my day is sitting right here at this computer doing stuff. So going to log into my computer and check and see if I have any pending emails that I need to worry about first, um, respond to things like that, and then I’m gonna jump into doing orders. So this is kind of what the workspace is looking like right now. Oh, I’m going to clean all this up, so that way I have a clear working space for the day. Um, and then I’m going to prep a tumbler to start engraving, and I’m gonna start packing up orders. Okay. So I do things like, super old school, and I write literally everything down in a notebook from the computer. It just helps me to feel Like A, to stay more organized and B, I can lump cups together. So if I’m making like four of the same cups, I do it all at the same time. I just feel like it like saves me time. So I have some things that I’ve already made that I now need to put into categories of like, did I sell this? And then get the next order of like, things ready. So that’s what I’m gonna do next. These are the six orders that I have that are ready to go now. I think I’m going to do start doing the orange booties use. Cause I have like seven or eight of those that I need to make. Going to work on some toppers so I can do those at the same time. Alright, here’s an update. Alright, so I made those six toppers. Now I’m getting ready to. I have a bunch of DTF prints I need to print off. So I’m gonna get the sky up and running, get those printing while I make the toppers. And then here’s the progress on cup one. Pause on work items because I need to start a load of laundry. Just another day, another day in the office, you guys. Alright, that’s done. Back to work. BTF printer to print out the sleeves. I don’t know why it does like such a big gap in between. And this is. That’s Tumblr number two just finished. So I just forgot. That I scheduled a pickup today for USPS, but I don’t have any orders actually packed, so I am now frantically printing labels and, um, packing up orders. I literally just finished packing them up, and I got the email that they already came, so my bad, USPS. We will put those out tomorrow. So if you got a shipping notification that something was going out today, it’s actually going out tomorrow. I’ve also finished two of the Butiu Pumpkins tumblers, and now we are starting the third in a frosted glass. Now it’s time for lunch. I’m starving. Oh. With French toast and bacon for lunch. Hi. Okay, so I ate lunch, and then I got. Got on a roll, and I totally forgot to, like, film anything. So it’s, like, 1:40, and that’s currently order. So I made, like, two more cups and, like, pack them up. Um, four of the five booties use is in the engraving machine right now, so I’m on the fourth one. I have one more to make. After that, um, think I’m gonna take a break on, like, doing orders for now. I’m gonna move to the computer. I have some, like, listings I need to work on. Um, I have a market coming up I need to work on. So for the rest of the day, I’m probably just going to be doing computer work. Um, but I will pop back in if anything else exciting happens.
