September Schedule

Apologies about the tardiness! I've been ill and my sleep schedule has been super wack the past few days but we're here with the schedule for the new month.

A change you're going to notice this month is that I also listed other content outside of our reactions. I've wanted this Patreon to be more than just my reactions but I've become far too accustomed to the routine of only focusing on the Patreon schedule. So in order to keep on top of everything else, hold myself accountable with hard deadlines, so podcast episodes along with official YouTube videos and more have been added to the schedule.

You'll notice on Wednesdays there are specific "Patreon Library Master Archive" deadlines. In week 2 we'll be pushing our website for the Patreon master archive live. Following week 3 and week 4 Wednesdays will come with several update batches to multiple groups. At this point I have a lot uploaded and we're going to start releasing fixed pages for a whole group when they're finished. We'll be going in alphabetical order.

I also included a full four weeks of content but spread everything out. I think I've got to accept I can't take a week off, at least, not with the amount of content I want to check out. And the only way to tackle it in a healthy way for me is to be a rhythm of working in constant motion. Just not as often, regularly, or as much in week 1. We'll ramp up a bit in week 2 and push more in weeks 3 and 4.

We also did a little less variety this month in exchange for more listening parties. Let me know how you guys like it!

I also went back to hand drawing my schedules. I'm not sure if this is cleaner/easier to read but it does have more info. Please let me know if you prefer this schedule as opposed to a cleaner schedule with less info.

*CONTENT NOTES:

-&AUDITION is back with two episodes. &AUDITION will conclude this month.

-Finding 7-UJEONG has also been added this month.

-Week 3 mentions "NCT U MVs + live stages" by "MVs" it's referring to the bonus music videos released for the various tracks off the new NCT 'Golden Age' album. The YouTube reaction and review for the title track will be out beforehand.

-Lawless Lawyer is concluding this month for Autumn tier and we will be beginning The Glory to replace the journey!

PS. I also left some room on the schedule so that I have time throughout the day to react to any bonus additional content, whether it be live stages, idol human theaters, leemujins, etc. I'm leaving the door open on those given that I usually always forget to add something to the schedule but also for any new comebacks this month :)

*PERSONAL:

For me personally, I whipped up this schedule because for my own sake I need the discipline of having all my work publicly scheduled. I'm going through a really difficult mental period at the moment, it'll pass, but I'm just having a hard time feeling motivated. But what always gets me working, both on my mental health and just work in general, is accountability. 

Last year I hit the highest point/stride in my life and things started apart when I began involving other people. I look at myself a year later and I see that I'm at a worse place both mentally and physically. Down to my habits, I've abandoned everything that makes me happy--exercise, road trips, my personal disciplines, healthy eating & living. I stopped caring of myself and thought moving to Korea would force those changes on me since Korea makes it so EASY to do all those things.

But I'm not going to Korea, yet, and fuck I just reached a point of "OK, I'm depressed as hell and I can't stay like this for a year waiting to get to Korea". So I'm picking myself up and making the necessary changes to whip my butt back into shape (mentally and physically).

So while it's just adding a few small things to the calendar, for me, it's very important. If the schedule is messy and hard as hell to read, I'll fix it for next month and work on a better solution.

*CONCLUSION:

Thanks for joining us again this month. August was a difficult month for me on a personal and mental basis but the work I got to film really brought me a lot of healing and inspiration. I'll be back tomorrow with a new CAMP ZEROBASEONE episode and the NRB clip of Jungkook from SUCHWITA and for the rest of the week I'll be on getting Week 1 prefilmed so that everything will be out and ready on time.
