Music & Content Plan
How the Music Becomes a Career — Built on Jun Yuh’s Creator System
Pagiel’s Monastic Rhythm already holds a spot for this: 2:00 in the afternoon, one focused block, post and answer and be done with it. This is what goes inside that block — the actual system, so “post something” turns into a plan you can run every single week without having to invent it from nothing each time.
It’s built on the framework of Jun Yuh, a creator and founder of Creator College who grew his following past eight million using a repeatable system rather than luck or nonstop hustle. His core idea: figure out your message, post with a purpose behind every piece, and let systems carry you on the days you don’t feel inspired. That’s exactly what a rhythm is for.
Your Foundation: Message, Avatar, Uniqueness
Before the posting schedule, three questions. You and Mom can sharpen these together, but here’s a starting point.
Your Message
What you want people to walk away believing, every time. A starting point: that a life doesn’t need sight, or an easy past, to be full — that faith and music can carry a person through what should have ended them. Say it in your own words until it feels true, not borrowed.
Your Content Pillars
Jun Yuh picks three to five pillars and builds everything from them. Yours:
- Music — playing, writing, learning, the instruments, the process.
- Faith — the Rosary, the saints, the rhythm this whole book is built on.
- Living Blind — how you actually do things: cook, clean, travel, record. People are curious, and you have real answers.
- Recovery — the TBI, the road back, what carried you. Used carefully and on your terms, never as a spectacle.
Your Uniqueness
Jun Yuh’s advice: your story is the niche, not a category. Yours doesn’t need inventing — blind, a survivor of more than most people carry in a lifetime, deeply Catholic, self-taught, and still showing up to play music in a park for free. Nobody else has that exact combination. That’s the whole advantage.
Your Week, the Jun Yuh Way
Jun Yuh’s structure for seven posts a week: three that Attract new people in with something relatable, one that Nurtures by showing the real, unpolished you, two that Position you as someone who knows their craft, and one that Converts — a plain, direct ask. Follow it and, in his words, you build “both trust and traffic.”
Mapped onto the days you already keep, so nothing new has to be remembered — just what today already is, with a camera pointed at it:
Sunday — Convert
Rest day, zero new filming — repost something and make one plain ask.
- Pin your best clip of the week and caption it: “New here? Comment ROSARY and I’ll send you the prayer I start every day with.”
- A one-line Sunday reflection, recorded on the porch after Mass — ask people to share it if it lands for them.
- Repost Thursday’s park clip: “Comment THERE if you want a reminder for next Thursday.”
- Simple ask: “What’s one thing you’re grateful for this week? Tell me below.”
Monday — Attract
Cooking day is a busy day, so record this one ahead — Sunday evening works well.
- “The day I woke up blind” — one honest, specific moment from the recovery, not the whole story.
- “Five things I was told I’d never do again — I do three of them every week now.”
- A short poem about the hospital, read over a quiet guitar line.
- “What losing my sight taught me about paying attention.”
Tuesday — Position
The studio — teach something that only makes sense coming from how you actually work.
- “How I tune a guitar without seeing the tuner” — walk through tuning by ear.
- “How I find a chord on the fretboard by feel,” quick and practical.
- The trick you use to memorize a song without sheet music.
- A braille typewriter or slate-and-stylus demo — “how I write down a lyric idea I can’t see.”
Wednesday — Nurture
Saint Joseph’s whole life was hidden, ordinary work — show a slice of yours, unpolished.
- Cooking eggs by feel — the real method, heat and sound and count, as “a weird skill I’ve had to build.”
- “What 5 a.m. actually looks like for me,” a walk through the morning rhythm.
- How you keep track of a week of labeled meals without seeing the labels.
- A quiet clip of ordinary chores set to music — “the invisible work no one claps for.”
Thursday — Attract, and your flagship day
Traverse Park, same as always — this is already your best content of the week.
- Record the performance, as always.
- “I’m playing for a crowd I can’t see” — an honest caption about performing blind in public.
- A post-performance debrief: “Someone requested a song today I hadn’t played in years — here’s how that went.”
- Once you’re LIVE-eligible: stream straight from the park and take requests.
Friday — Attract
The harder story — the pain, and the faith that carries you through it.
- A song written about a hard day, played raw, no polish.
- A poem about being blind, read over an instrumental.
- “The hardest part of losing my sight wasn’t what you’d think.”
- A voice-memo reflection on one specific hard moment and what carried you through it — as much or as little as you want to say.
Saturday — Position
Music day. Not a lesson — just you playing something all the way through.
- A full song, start to finish, no talking, just the music.
- A Marian hymn on guitar or cajon.
- “A song I wrote for my mom” — or dedicated to Our Lady.
- Cajon rhythm under a guitar melody, both played by you.
Your Recording System
Jun Yuh’s phone setup is a tripod, a lav mic, and a clip light — you already have the equipment. The one piece that needs to work differently for you is framing, since you can’t check a shot by looking at it. The fix is to stop checking it every time and set it once.
- Pick one spot in the studio for the tripod — the same spot, every time — and mark the exact leg positions on the floor with a small piece of tape you can feel with your foot.
- With Mom or a friend, set the tripod height and the phone’s angle once, so it frames you well. Mark that height on the tripod leg with a piece of tape too, so you can find it again by touch without needing anyone to re-check it.
- Ask whoever helped you set it up whether your phone’s camera can announce when a face is centered in frame — some phones can, through their accessibility features. If yours can, turn that on; it’s the closest thing to a check you can do alone.
- Use the 3-take rule: give yourself three tries at a line or a take. If it’s still not right, move on and come back to it later instead of grinding on one moment.
- Film in short segments — ten to thirty seconds at a time — rather than one long take. Shorter pieces are easier for whoever helps you edit to find, label, and reuse.
- Your voice and your instrument are doing the real work here, more than the picture is. Lean into that — it’s already your strongest format.
Post It Once, Everywhere
You don’t need a different piece of content for TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Record once, post the same clip to all four, with the caption adjusted slightly if it needs it. That’s the whole idea behind batching — Jun Yuh built his following on reused footage, not fresh material every single day.
- TikTok and Instagram Reels: post the clip close to as-is.
- YouTube: the same clip works as a Short. If a piece runs longer, it can also go up as a regular video.
- Facebook: post the same Reel there too — different audience, same content, no extra work.
Captions, and Checking Your Own Work
You should be able to catch mistakes in your own captions without waiting on someone else.
- Turn on auto-captions in whichever app you’re posting from — TikTok and Instagram both offer this when you upload.
- Before you post, have your phone’s screen reader read the caption back to you out loud.
- Listen for anything that sounds wrong — auto-captions mishear song lyrics and names often. Fix it by ear before it goes live.
Going Live on TikTok
TikTok requires 1,000 followers and an account in good standing before the LIVE button appears at all — you have to be 16 to go live, and 18 to receive gifts. These numbers do shift sometimes, so it’s worth double-checking in the app once you’re getting close.
- Until then: the 3-1-2-1 rhythm above is how you get there. Consistency is what TikTok’s own system rewards most.
- Once you’re eligible, Thursday at the park is your natural LIVE day — you’re already out, already playing, already gathering a crowd. Announce it a little ahead of time if you can, so people know to tune in.
- Keep a LIVE simple at first: play, talk between songs, take requests if people ask. You don’t need a script — you already do this at the park every week.
Growing This Into a Career
This is a ladder, not a race. Each step is what makes the next one possible.
- Keep the 3-1-2-1 rhythm running every week, without gaps, for a full season. Consistency is the whole engine — nothing else on this list works without it.
- Reach 1,000 followers. This unlocks TikTok LIVE, and it’s usually the first real signal that people are finding you on their own.
- Start going LIVE from the park on Thursdays. This is where a real, regular audience tends to form.
- Once you’re 18 and eligible, LIVE gifting becomes a real, if modest, income stream. YouTube has its own thresholds for turning on monetization there too — worth checking the current numbers when you’re getting close, since they change.
- From there: requests, bookings, maybe lessons for other blind musicians who find you because of the “Living Blind” pillar. The audience usually tells you what it wants next if you’re listening.
“Don’t go viral. Go valuable. Then you’ll stay.” — Jun Yuh
That’s the whole plan, really. Show up on the same rhythm you already keep for everything else, tell the truth about your life, and let the music do what it’s always done.
Washing Dishes
Dish soap · dishrag · chain mail cloth · drying towel
- Fill the sink with warm water and 2–3 pumps of dish soap. Fill once, then turn the water off.
- Wash one dish at a time — front, back, edges, and underside.
- Rinse the rag between every dish: squeeze under running water until it runs clear. A greasy rag just spreads grease.
- For stuck food, use the chain mail cloth with light pressure — let the links do the work.
- For anything very stuck, let it soak in warm soapy water while you wash the rest; come back last.
- Rinse each dish under running water, turning it so water passes over the whole thing.
- Before racking: run your open palm across both sides. Smooth and slick means clean. Tacky or gritty means wash again.
Done when every dish passes the palm test.
Kitchen Sink
Loofah sponge (under the kitchen sink) · pump dish soap · baking soda
- Clear the sink of all dishes.
- Wet the loofah under the faucet.
- Add 2–3 pumps of soap.
- Sprinkle baking soda into the basin — you’ll feel it gritty under the loofah.
- Scrub in circles over the whole basin, the walls, and around the drain. Keep going until it feels smooth and slippery instead of rough and gritty.
- Don’t skip the faucet and handles — those get touched most.
- Rinse everything, sweeping your hand around to check for grit.
- Wring the loofah and set it in the dish drainer to dry.
Done when the whole basin feels smooth and slick, no gritty spots left.
Counters & Stovetop
Damp cloth with dish soap, or vinegar spray · dry towel
- Move everything off to one cleared spot first — you can’t clean under something that’s still there.
- Wet the cloth with a small amount of soap, or spray the surface with vinegar spray.
- Wipe in sections, working across so you don’t lose track of where you’ve been.
- Feel for sticky or gritty patches — those get a second pass.
- Dry the surface with a separate towel.
- Put everything back where it belongs.
Done when your dry hand slides across the whole surface without catching.
Cleaning the Fridge
1st and 3rd Monday
Small trash bag · bowl of warm soapy water · cloth · dry towel
- Set your trash bag nearby within reach.
- Start at the top shelf and work down one shelf at a time.
- Take everything off each shelf and set it on the counter.
- If something isn’t a labeled container or a regular staple — toss it.
- Wipe the bare shelf with your damp cloth, then dry it.
- Put back only what belongs, then move to the next shelf.
- Do the same with the door shelves and the drawers at the bottom.
- Tie any trash bag and take it straight to the kitchen can.
- Wash your hands when finished.
Done when every shelf is wiped and everything left is a labeled container or a staple you know.
Taking the Trash Out
Monday, Wednesday, Friday evenings
Kitchen: unscented flex bags. All other cans: the thinner, smaller bags. Keep them separate — your hand will always find the right box.
- Pull the full bag out of the can, twist the top closed, and tie it.
- Carry it straight out your front door to the hurby curby.
- Drop it in and let the lid close on its own.
Hurby Curby to the Road
Every Wednesday
- Wheel it straight out your front door.
- Push it down the sidewalk in a straight line until the sidewalk ends — your feet or cane will tell you where that is.
- Turn it so the handles face the house, not the street — that’s how it always sits at the curb.
- Walk straight back along the same sidewalk to your front door.
Done when the bin is at the curb, handles turned the right way, and you’re back inside.
Tidying the Studio
Tuesdays
Your hands · a cloth if the desks feel dusty
- Start at one desk. Run your hand across and gather loose papers into one stack.
- Put pens, braille typewriter, and recording equipment back in their exact spot — the same spot every time, so your hands already know where to look tomorrow.
- Wipe the desk surface with a cloth if it feels dusty or sticky.
- Move to the second desk and do the same.
- Open each closet, run your hand along the shelves, and straighten anything that’s slipped or fallen over.
- Gather the cajon and the guitars back to where they belong.
- Check that a mat is under the braille typewriter. Keep one more near the slate and stylus.
- Empty the studio trash can if it’s more than half full.
Done when both desks are clear except what belongs, and everything has a place it’s sitting in.
Tidying the Bedroom
Wednesdays
- Open the closet and run your hand along the hangers and shelf, straightening anything that’s slipped or fallen.
- Clear off the dresser top and the nightstand, wiping if they feel dusty.
- Empty the bedroom trash can if it needs it.
- Shake out and straighten your wool blankets on the bed.
Done when the closet is orderly by feel, dresser and nightstand are clear, and the bed is made.
Bath Towel
Every Saturday
- Take your used towel to the wash.
- Hang a clean one from the hall closet on your towel hook.
Washing the Sheets
1st and 3rd Saturday — check the weather first, you dry these in the sun
- Strip the bed: one corner at a time — fitted sheet, flat sheet, pillowcase.
- Take them to the wash and start the machine.
- While they wash, get your second set from the hall closet and remake the bed right away — fitted sheet corners first, then flat sheet, then pillowcase. You never have to wait on the line.
- When the wash is done, hang the sheets outside in the sun.
- Once dry, fold them — they become your new second set in the hall closet.
Done when the bed is made with a clean set, and the washed set is drying or folded away.
Porch & Windows
Thursdays — light and quick, you’re headed to the park
Damp cloth for the chairs · broom from the lounge closet behind the front door
- Wipe both porch chairs with a damp cloth.
- Sweep the porch floor — the broom lives in the lounge closet behind the front door.
- Run your hand along the windowsills and blinds. If they feel dusty, a quick wipe is enough — this one doesn’t need to be deep.
Done when chairs are wiped, porch is swept, and windows and blinds have been checked by hand.
Bathroom, Top to Bottom
Fridays
Loofah sponge (under kitchen sink) · pump soap · baking soda · toilet brush (left of the toilet) · dry paper towels · vinegar spray
Sinks
- Wet the loofah, add soap, sprinkle baking soda into the basin.
- Scrub in circles until it feels smooth instead of gritty.
- Rinse, sweeping your hand around to check for grit.
Toilet
- Lift the lid.
- Scrub the inside with the toilet brush — baking soda on the brush first, reach up under the rim where buildup hides.
- Flush while you finish scrubbing to rinse it clean.
- For the outside (tank, lid, base, seat): dry paper towel first to lift dust and hair, then a wet wipe after.
- Wash your hands well.
Floor
- Dry paper towel first to pick up dust and hair, then a damp wipe after — same two-pass method.
Mirror
- Spray vinegar directly onto the mirror.
- Wipe top to bottom with a dry paper towel until the mirror feels slick and nothing slows the paper towel down.
Hall Closet
- Straighten the bath packets — they scatter while you’re filling them. Group like with like so your hands know where each one is next time.
Supply Check
- Paper towels · soap · toothpaste · toilet paper · bath packet ingredients · silk floss · boar-hair and bamboo toothbrushes · razor blades · unscented castile bar soap. Anything low goes on your Amazon order — non-food items from Amazon, never Instacart.
Done when both sinks are smooth and gritless, the toilet has had both passes, the mirror feels slick, and supplies are checked.
Lounge & Robot Vacuum
Saturdays
- Find the robot vacuum in its corner near the hall.
- Empty it before starting: feel for the seam where the dust bin lifts out, empty it into the trash, snap it back into place.
- Find the power button on top by feel — it has a small square bump of tape marking it — and press once to start.
- Let it run on its own, but check on it now and then. If it goes quiet or sounds stuck in one spot, find it and free it.
- When it’s done, help it back to its base if it hasn’t gotten there on its own.
- Wipe the side tables and coasters with a damp cloth.
- Run your hand over the couch’s cotton cover and straighten it if it’s slipped. Leave the cover on — the couch underneath is newer and synthetic and does better staying covered.
Done when the vacuum is back at its base, tables are wiped, and the cover is straight.
Cooking Eggs by Feel
A pan by sound and touch, not sight — follow it in order and it works every time
- Heat the pan first, empty, until properly hot — a drop of water should skitter and vanish almost at once.
- Add your animal fat and let it heat until it moves thin and easily across the pan when you tilt it.
- Add the eggs and leave them alone. A few slow passes at most — let the pan and fat do the work.
- Listen: a steady gentle sizzle means it’s right. A sharp fast crackle means the heat’s too high — pull it back.
- Count to sixty for the first side — build a feel for the timing on your stove.
- Use the egg pan for eggs only — nothing else touches it — and they’ll stop sticking almost entirely.
