a realistic day in my life as an artist ~ how i manage my time while self employed! 

i did not expect so many people to be curious about my ipad stand! it’s by the brand kabicon :)

paloma really said get dressed or get depressed HAHA 😂😭 this was so inspiring to watch!! definitely makes me interested in trying to have a more early bird routine~

I forgot there's people out there who enjoy waking up super early and being productive in the mornings haha. I have ADHD which gives me a delayed circadian rhythm so my most productive/creative hours are usually between 8 PM and 3 AM. I was a little shocked when you got up at 7 AM but I really appreciate that you mentioned that everyone is different and will have different productivity hours because sometimes people are like YOU HAVE TO GET UP SUPER EARLY OR ELSE and I feel so guilted by it! This was a really helpful video to watch

I’m so impressed by your morning routine and the note about finding your own productivity time is so spot on! I’m the most productive from 12-6 so I take my mornings easy and work out so I roll right into 12!

girl, thanks for this video! As someone is also self employed, my routine has gone to traaash! I like that you a weekly schedule written out. It's typed out, pasted on the fridge, and (for me) it seems like it can stop those "wandering around your apt just wasting time" moments. I'm going to try it out! Thanks Paloma!

I am much older than you and I really appreciate how you know yourself so well. I strive to teach my kids to know themselves as you do. I’m going to show them this. Kuddos to you for being a true artist and living creatively, as you. That is what I call real success.

Love seeing another self employed artists routine. It's interesting to see the parallels as well (like having to get dressed and trying to have a structure). I defo dip around 3PM!

As someone working towards being self employed, I appreciate seeing your routine.

paloma the productive self-employed queen!! love seeing day in the life vids :)

So much credit to people who go through the extra step to look ✨stunning✨ even if they aren’t leaving the house. I can’t even get ready when I’m going somewhere 😂 Also…I’ve never had pesto eggs and that sounds fricken amazing. I always buy pesto and I feel like it’s only really good right after opening it. After it’s been in the fridge it just doesn’t hit the same. But I feel like frying it up with some eggs would really rejuvenate it! Definitely going to try it.

4:54 so true! It’s different for everyone and I hate when people act like the morning is the best for everyone

My mornings start at 3am 😅. I work a dayjob and take care of my elderly Dad as well as being an artist, working on my body of work before doing a full launch right now. So breakfast and lunch prep, wash up pack things up, warm up my vehicle, help my dad with meds and getting him fed with lunch in the Instapot or something I have ready that he can grab. I'll sketch a little until my alarm goes off and I leave for work from 6a-3p, grab any groceries and things, try to be home by 4. Check on my Dad, meds again for him with dinner, walk and play with my Dogs, clean a little, paint/sketch some more until bed. Some days I don't do any art and allow myself some reading or gaming time (need to wiggle in the fun here and there). Days off I rest and take care of Dad, with longer periods of art time. It's hard but quite fulfilling. ❤

I had a really bad day today, and was trying to just find a video that would help me decompress and unwind and this was the best video I could have come across, it was so relaxing. Thank you so so much for sharing.

Thank you for sharing this Paloma! You literally inspired me while I watching this, I've been having a hard time to get my life tgt after graduation. I found that working in company is not my thing, but the self-employed is much more harder lol! but still much more better since I got to do the thing I love. I'm glad your vlog poped up on my reccomendation bc I'm not watching much of people routine, but yours have give energy to get my trash together for real. Thank you again queen!

Thank you for sharing your life with us! It's always nice to see how other self-employed artists function

I just wanted to say that i absolutely love your videos, their so calming to watch and your a huge inspiration for me

thank you for this video!! I always get anxious thinking that i'm not doing enough but yes, we're humans and everyday can't be 100% productive.

I recently found your channel and I have been watching your vids at night! Love your work and personality! Keep it up! :)

maaan, this was so nice to watch!! ❤ i've been in a bit of a creative rut, so what you said about listening to your energy levels hit good. your cats are such sweeties btw!

I really enjoy this video as many other of your videos! Honestly, working from home is quite great but also tiring as sometimes you just need the going out and socializing. I went from a lot of co-workers to make jokes through the day to get by the day at work to all my pets being my coworkers & plants 😆 I take with me the work routine schedule you made. I found out now that I’m more a morning/day energy than at night. Nights for me seems to be more entertaining and working out. Anyhow I love how you share your progress. I’m new at being a freelance artist. So this inspires me💗bendiciones Paloma💗

Paloma! I’m so excited to watch you work, and hearings you talking about productivity is always helpful! Btw, those earrings are awesomeeee

this is seriously so helpful! i am transitioning into becoming a tattoo artist and i am so inspired seeing an artist make a such beautiful life for themselves ;__;

Wow this was really helpful :) I’m not an artist but I do work from home as a professional writer. I’ve been struggling with making a schedule and sticking to it, but I realized I’m trying to do things in the day when I have the least amount of energy. Also, your art is so cute and amazing ❤

I just stumbled upon your RU-vid channel and I am in love. I am going to go and binge all your videos now. Have a wonderful rest of your day! 🌷🍄

Very fun seeing how other artists use their day! Love your color palettes btw. Thanks for sharing! ❤️

I like your honestly and being so true about your daily life as an artist ❤ you're are an inspiration for me thanks 🙏

for me, both mornings and evenings are the most productive but from 12-17/18h my energy just dips. idk why, but I just cannot get myself to do things during that time which I used to fight a lot but recently I‘ve just come to accept that this is how I work/ how my body works so I‘ll just go at it in the mornings and evenings, and take it easy during the day. But it was definitely a lot of mental work to come to terms with this!

always enjoy your videos Paloma :) especially the day in the life ones!

i hate that i love mornings so much as for the aesthetics: mornings are so calming, the light is just right and beautiful, there's all this beautiful stuff happening in the nature and... other than that, i just am not a morning person. my creativity & energy level spikes at 9-11pm and continues well after midnight; before that, i can do creative stuff in short bursts but mostly would need to spend the first two halves of the day resting, kinda naturally preparing for the inspiration that will come. but that means i have to sleep late, if i also stay up late: and then i miss out on all the beautiful morning stuff. :( there's no easy way to get them both

Please please do more of these ! I love this !!

I feel the same way about breakfast. If I don’t have a nice sized breakfast I end up having low energy really quick. It literally is the most important meal for me.

Thank you so much for sharing this video. It is so calming and inspiring 💗💗

I draw/work from 12nn - 9pm. But I take a 25mins Nap every afternoon. I Also use the Pomodoro Technique for maximum efficiency (75% of the time it works)

So nice to see your day!

I highly recommend finding a good workout routine that strengthens your lower back! I sit for hours every day for work as well and having a strong back and core make a huge difference in what I can tolerate. Really work on strengthening your posture when sitting and it will help you to not get so sore.

LOVED THISSSSS definitely need to implement your tips into my life...

As a semi-pro Artist I highly appriciate your video. I have a day job in printing and a small creative business. I believe that the tip about wearing working clothes will assist me. And also just putting a camera on my daily routine can also serve as an observer thus causing me to push myself more.

This was awesome and so soothing to watch 🤍🤍

oh I really needed this video, I was sick for last 2 weeks and my routines got shattered to pieces and I cant do anything and feel awful :< but from tomorrow Im going back to them, gonna look what will work the best for me. Your video was super useful :>

Love your work! Keep it up

Love that it's real! ❤

im glad i found your stream T-T i'll definitely try ur advices, tysm!!!!

Props to you for being a morning person, I wish I was like that! I find all my creative energy comes to me at 2am lmao. Also I love your hair!

Love these type of vlogs

Here for the honesty👏

I'm a manga artist who works from home and over the last few years I've just been in my PJs all day and do nothing but work. I think I might try getting ready in the morning like you because then there's less barrier to leaving the house during the day. I also need to get on a schedule because I'm often waking up at 3am one days and then 3pm another. It's so hard to do a schedule especially when I'm behind on deadlines but my health needs something to change!

@9:45 same girl..no traffic no people around the store...so peaceful perks of wfh

Manifesting this kinda life for myself too ✨

This is such a nice vlog💕

Wow. This would really help me. Thank you so much for this 💕

Girl you are so beautiful and I love your art too 🥰

Ahh it would be my dream to be an artist professionally. I went to school and got my bachelors in art, but never really found my own style and lost confidence. so I only do art for fun now or art for friends. But I feel so stuck in a career that isn’t creative (medical)

Please vlog the art market process!! I’m trying to work up the courage on producing and selling at one in the future. I’m scured not scared but SCURED lol

KOOL KEITH loves this channel!!

Great video! Thank you for sharing 💕 maybe I'll try to plan my day like this..I’m so unorganized

this video was so inspiring and fun to watch

Great video! Hoping to be self employed soon!

I love the baby earrings I need some!

Your video is so calming to watch! What stand are you using for your iPad when you draw?

Beautiful drawings. I really like you video. It is so great to see your artist life

first video i have watch from ur channel very nice :>

love your cupie doll earrings. I actually have a porcelain one on my dresser =) Enjoyed this video

4:00 Noticed we have the same white ikea shelf. Nice to see how it's supposed to look, because I built mine wrong lol

love this

Very cool video!! ❤️

girl i need a tattoo tour!!!

Cute video & cats ! It’s funny how ur cats just stare at u when u clean up their mess lol 😹😹😹😹

hey i loved that ipad holder/stand 6:11 ! could you tell me where you got it?? it's what i was looking for :)

My dream to live like this 💖💖

I didn't realize it was your cat meowing at first. I thought it was hearing a cat outside. There are hardly any cats here since Im at university. very cute kitties!

Thank you!

what a cute house you have!

13:50 Waaait I just noticed you Matisse tattoo! That's so cool! I had to write something about that piece for my A-Levels. Looks so much more nicer without the colors.

omg, how cool are ur baby earrings, haaaah. So cute and original. Love it, u re cute

It's been a year and some change working as a freelance voice over artist. I'm pretty good with managing my time, keeping a work, training vs. relaxation schedule but one thing I wasn't ready for are shady clients. Right now a buyer owes me $390 and keeps dodging me. It's been several weeks so I'm not expecting to get that money. It's the dark side of this line of work but freelancers should be prepared for such a thing.

I love it! can you please tell me what printer you use for the stickers and also where your keychain are made from? I am also an artist but difficult these things were I am from. thank you

i like the idea of determining what time of day you’re most productive and then building your schedule around it. i’ll try that 🫶

Wow, your life seems to be so chill and laid-back compared to where I live. I can't possibly imagine people living off of what they make from their art. May I ask whether you're comfortable with your income from your art or if it varies from month to month?

Beautiful video! Sorry for the random question but can you tell me where you got your pan in the beginning of your video? I’ve never seen those before.

i am watching this video and im like mmm i feel like i know you, then i remembered I did a portrait of you like 5 years ago! crazy

GOSTEI MUITO DE VER O VLOG DE ROTINA DO DIA . PARABENS PELO VIDEO

ooo what is the stand you're using for your ipad?? I need something like that for drawing to lift my ipad off of the table! I have one that sits at a static angle, but I like how this looks like it has some flexibility? thank you in advance!!

I really wondering where you can order a smaller amount of acrylic keychains. I was searching for a supplier and since I was planning it as a giveaway for Patrons etc, I just need 50 pcs. It is also so satisfying to watch your routine.

That’s what Chinese medicine teaches you too that breakfast should be the biggest and best meal of the day because your digestion is the best between 7-12am….or something.

hi paloma great vid as always:) do you have the name of your ipad stand? ive been looking for one just like it!

do you have any advice for someone who has trouble with keeping sns updated/not really having a following? i'm a part time artist from home (with another part time job) and make most of my money through commissions and an etsy shop (which isnt a lot), but i'd like to branch out with a youtube, social media, and patreon etc. i feel scared to start because i have virtually no "following" and feel like i will fail. i'm bad at keeping up with posting when ive tried instagram in the past..i just don't know how to succeed if i'm no good on sns, haha. i know this is vague and thank you for this video, it's so helpful to see your routine 🌻

Your smile at 3:29 literally made me instantly subscribe.

Hi, Has only one suggested a computer stand? One you can lower or raise. I got one for my workstation. You’re suppose to alternate sitting/standing every hour. It really help with my back.

Had to pause this to say pesto eggs!!!! feel like this is going to be a game changer for me!

As an artist I married a doctor so she can support me while I'm building my career..... I happen to be an engineer by day too so.... Life's good

Pesto eggs 😍 i gotta try that 😩✨

love the video! i have a question that i have to ask--- what type of automatic cat feeder do you have ? such a weird question but i really need one for my cat and was wondering if the one you have is good. love your channel!

loooveeed it! Hey, I-m new to your channel and i wanted to know if you could tell me about your ipad stand?

Ok, can we talk about Clementine 😃 that face, omg so adorable. The other kitty was giving the camera the "winky eye" they are so cute!

cutest kitties

hi paloma! thanks so much for sharing, this was really helpful to watch since i'm making the transition to self employment next month. can i just ask what stand you're using for your ipad?

Awsome video I have to make mine as well same life stile artist very good video

The ginger cat was like "hello, can I help you?!" HAHA

Two. babies are very cute. Love to watch your videos.

What creative design app that do you use ? Seems really fun
