- [Voiceover] Shout out to Squarespace
for sponsoring today's video.
(coughing)
- Good morning.
Hello!
Can you hear me?
With your ears?
I said good morning.
Happy mon-Tuesday!
(upbeat music)
I just got back from Colorado, so,
last night I got back at like 1 o'clock in the morning
let's see if there is any food, there's not!
Let's look inside here, there ain't no breakfast food.
We got some hummus, we got some ah,
Brussels sprouts, plenty of dinner options.
Oh, hallelujah, we're gonna get this day started.
We're gonna get our September started!
What if I had (laughs goofily)
You're gonna join me on a life admin day.
I've been watching these videos on YouTube,
life admin videos nonstop.
It's literally just watching people do their to-do list.
But I love it.
Let me brush my teeth, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
(cheerful swing music)
I don't need you to see my chesticles.
step one in this life admin day.
I'm going to write down a list, in my bullet journal,
of things, oh my nails is dirty.
A list of things I would like to get done today,
keeping in mind that today is a life admin day.
Things I just can never get around to.
(clicks tongue)
You know what I'm saying, things that be bothering you.
Things that you don't prioritize,
or things that you know you need to do
in order to have a successful week, successful month,
however you organize your life.
(chill jazz music)
(coughing)
All right so, I was going to vlog today so I wrote that.
I need to wash my hair, hmm?
Anytime you see these buns it means my hair is dirty!
And I'm trying to grow out my undercut and I'm out
here looking like, looking like George Jefferson!
Anyway, need to wash my hair, need to answer some e-mails,
I started doing that yesterday on, in the airport.
I have a 3pm call, I have a 4pm call.
I want to re-pot my plants, up there.
I have neglected, oh, they are so ugly, oh.
I need to un-pack and do some laundry.
Update my website and some content planning,
for YouTube and Instagram.
Take out the trash and recycling and clear out the fridge.
That's my life admin day for today,
so, let's get started.
I don't know what I'm going to start with.
(light muzak playing)
(crinkling of plastic)
(plastic bag crumbling)
(heavy breathing)
I just took out the trash.
Woo, thank god for air conditioning.
(spraying)
So every time I take out the trash
I wipe down the trashcan and the recycling bin,
just to prevent it from getting gross.
Like it's not gross because I do this.
I don't do this when it gets gross.
And that my friends is adulting!
Adulting is forethought, that's all it is.
All right, moving on, so I did some laundry before I left.
But I didn't fold it, I didn't put it away.
So I'm put that away and then I'm gonna unpack.
And then do the laundry of that, it's a cycle.
(chill jazz music)
All right so we put our laundry away.
Our clean laundry away, and now I'm going to unpack.
I got home around 1 o'clock in the morning last night.
So, I was going to bed, but this morning,
I'm getting it done. I used to be that person who would have
their suitcase in the living room, for a month.
Here we have it, Puma from Ross Dress For Less.
Always hit up Ross Dress for Less, all right?
And then my backpack this is pretty much what I travel with.
(chill jazz music)
Okay, I've put everything away in its place.
I should really wipe down these bags, but I won't.
(giggles)
(laughing)
Colors, all right and let's, let's go.
(slow bass music)
I've never done this before.
(chill jazz music)
- [Computer] "Welcome,
"this service is provided by Free Conference Call.com
"Please announce yourself"
- Hey who's that? - Evelyn
- [Person On The Phone] Um and... (mumbles)
- Call number two is in three minutes.
I'm super excited for this one.
Some travel is involved
and you're favorite #BabyBlo,
may be involved.
- [Person On The Phone] Just to get an idea
of your interests. - Okay.
- [Person On The Phone] Maybe you could come down here,
your schedule and then, we'll chat to our partners.
- Call went well, need to send
my passport information.
Excited!
My battery's finna die, but I just know
that it's bout 4:40, 4:45 in the PM
and I'm just gonna be right, right here
right here,
emails
It is now 6:45
and I've been answering emails
but emails always turn into
a deep dive into my calender
it turns into, you know, to answer the email
I have to go back and look up stuff and
so we here!
I'll come back at a later time
worry about yourself!
So it's almost 8 PM
I'm going to make some food real quick.
Full day has passed,
day and a half has passed.
Uhm, how about we wash this?
How about we do that?
(chill jazz music)
Hold up, hold up, hold up.
First of all.
Are you really an adult child
if there is not a piece of equipment
exercise equipment in your childhood room?
The answer's no.
It is, an unreasonable yet highly realistic
amount of time
between the last clip and this clip, okay.
Life happens, you have to re-prioritize
put the camera down
and do other things.
I'm not gonna say it's been a month.
It's almost 8 o'clock in the morning
and I'm at my parents house.
And it's Monday, I feel like today's
gonna be a life admin day,
I do have some work to do
I'm gonna do that first, but then after, after
I do that, hopefully, hopefully don't take
my whole day.
I'm going to sit down, make my list again.
And get this life admin thing going!
(chill jazz music)
I'm gonna update my website,
it's been, it's been a long time coming.
This went live a long time ago.
2019, 2018 20, 2018.
So this is Evelyn from the internets.com
It's my official website.
A bio, where you've seen me maybe
what I do - press mentions
oooh she thick!
And then upcoming events,
and this right here is what I need to update
because what?
We also use Squarespace for Austin While Black
back in the day, so I just click that
and what this is, that I'm trying to change
is events, and I'm trying to edit this portion.
So that's what I'm gonna do.
(chill jazz music)
The next thing I need to update on my website is
the bio, and I guess where you've seen me,
because I made this website long before
I started working for PBS Digital Studios.
So, I need to add the show, onto the website.
(clicks fingers)
Let me do that.
(talking to self) ...Co-host and write, Say It Loud,
a PPS Digital Studio show
about black histories and cultures.
I have updated this section
called Where you've seen me
to put PBS first.
(giggles)
Beyonce, second
We Are, which is my girl B.B.'s film
that's on the Issa Rae YouTube channel
Call in Black from For Harriet.
And that means I gotta delete
(chuckles)
So now it's cool to be from Wakanda.
So, how do I delete that?
Let's figure it out, okay delete.
I am sure, and I am sure.
Alright, we have, accomplished
so much.

to explain why.
