I love meeting you”.
What day is it even? How is it almost the weekend again??! If you’ve ever uttered these words, I see you and I get it. Developing healthy routines is challenging in the best of times – it can feel damn-near impossible when you don’t have a set schedule.
If you work a swing shift, have kids with challenging sleep schedules, or just work a job with a varied schedule, this post is for you. If you want to create a morning routine, night routine – really ANY kind of routine – these tips will help you do that, regardless of your schedule.
How to develop routines when you don’t have a set schedule
⚓ Anchor your routine to your ‘daily constants’ (even if you do them at different times)
When I was an ESL teacher in Taiwan, my schedule changed every week – sometimes I worked till 9 pm, sometimes I finished at noon. But every single day, I went to sleep, ate food, put my contacts in, etc. And I bet the same is true for you!
Even if you work the swing shift or your schedule changes from week to week, there are some constants in your day-to-day life.
For most of us, those constants are:
- waking up + going to bed
- eating
- brushing our teeth, washing our faces, etc.
- getting to and from work
Once you identify these daily constants, you can tie your routine to them! You can drink warm lemon water and stretch when you wake up, even if some days you wake up at 6 am and some days you wake up at 9 pm for the night shift.

☝️ Build a routine one piece at a time
If you’ve ever tried to change everything in your life, all at once – yoga every morning! no screens after 7 pm! journaling every night! – you know that ish doesn’t work. Humans have a limited amount of self-control and decision-making that we can exert in a given day and trying to build a 17-part routine from nothing is a recipe for disaster. Click To Tweet
Instead, choose ONE thing you’d like to anchor to a daily constant and start there. After a month or two of doing that consistently, add one more thing.
Examples:
- Stretch for five minutes after you get up
- Drink a glass of water before you eat a meal
- Think about 5 things you’re grateful for while you brush your teeth
- Listen to your Spanish-learning course while you commute to work
👯 Create accountability + get support
According to The American Society of Training and Development, we’re 65% more likely to achieve a goal – like creating a routine! – when we have accountability.
Accountability and support look different for everyone – what works depends on your personality, your learning style, and the demands on your time.
A few ideas for creating accountability + getting support:
- Educate yourself about the things you want to add to your routine – meditation, hydration, yoga, etc. Understanding a topic more deeply can help you commit.
- Set alarms on your phone to check in with yourself. Every day at 3 pm your phone can ask you “Did you journal today?”
- If you share a living space with someone, ask them to hold you accountable
- Join a community – either online or offline – of people who are committed to similar goals. My free Money & Happy Facebook group might be a good place to start!
What do you think, my non-set-schedule friends? Do you feel better prepared to start developing a routine that supports you? If your new routine included more happiness or better spending, join us over in the Money & Happy Facebook group. We’d love to have you!

Slotlady, real name Sarah, is a bright and smiling addition to the gambling community on YouTube. The audience of her YouTube channel is more than 158,000 subscribers, while over 18,500 people follow her on Instagram.
SlotLady Channel Inception
Slotlady started her YouTube channel in July 2017. After advertising her project on the Vegas Fanatics forum and publishing new content daily, Sarah has garnered over 71,000,000 million views by September 2020. Some videos have more than 500 thousand views, even reaching more than a million views over time:
The main motivation to start the channel is the love of gambling. In her message to subscribers, she wrote:
“I love slot machines and gambling in casinos, so I decided to create my own blog to share my experience with you.”
Who Sarah Really Is
Slotlady prefers not to talk a lot about herself. She is 26 years old and lives in Toronto, Canada. She often visits casinos in Niagara Falls and Las Vegas.
Sarah posts pre-recorded videos, frequently hosts live streams of playing in land-based casinos on her channel, as well as streams of online casino play sessions on her Twitch channel. Unlike some gambling channels (but similar to the channel of Brian Christopher, fellow gambling YouTuber), her content differs from the classic reviews of slot machines. Her method is to launch the slot and record whatever comes her way.
Videos come out almost daily. Sarah is also busy during Christmas and long holidays to post new content for the fans.
The channel’s preferred casino slots are based on movies and TV shows, as well as timeless classics. In her collection, you can find such slot machines as
- Sex and the City
- The Third Extra
- The Simpsons
- Flintstones
In her online store, Sarah sells T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, sports bags, and phone cases. A distinctive feature of all products from Slotlady — a logo of a smiling lemon.
Sarah has also recently teamed up with the aforementioned Brian Christopher for a collaboration video. Here’s the one that went up on her channel:
Polarized Audience
While the Slotlady channel is gaining popularity, there are debates about Sarah’s professionalism on some forums.
Some gamblers criticize Slotlady, claiming that the YouTuber knows nothing about the games she plays. Slotlady’s defenders say that the audience is often prejudiced towards female-streamers. According to them, men often pay more attention to appearance, rather than professionalism.

Despite the negative comments, Sarah Slotlady continues to post videos and devotes her free time to gambling.
SlotLady Net Worth
Even though Sarah has an impressive presence in the gambling section of YouTube, her main source of income probably consists of Twitch, Patreon, affiliate deals, her online merch store and winnings from the slot machines. This is due to the fact that gambling videos can rarely be monetized on the main platform.
At the time of writing, Sarah has 104 patrons on Patreon, where the minimum pledge is $5 a month, going up to $10, $25, $100, $1,000 and the biggest one is $10,000. It is more likely, however, that most of the subscribers are on the lower end of the donation level, seeing that her Patreon goal is 75% reached.

Additionally, Sarah has more than 5,000 followers on Twitch. Some of them may be subscribers as well, which one can become by pledging a sum starting from $4.99 per month. It is unclear how many subscribers she might have, as this data is not public. Nevertheless, subscribers in all mediums, coupled with slot wins, should be enough to make the activity worthwhile.
