Am I doing too much?

I manage social media for 2 companies owned by one person, I’ll call them A & B. (I have 2 other graphic designers in the social media team working with me)

  • Channels: Instagram, FB Page, FB Group, Twitter, Pinterest, Threads, Telegram
  • 5 static graphics a day (3 for A and 2 for B)
  • 6 reels a week (3 for A and 3 for B)
  • Engaging with customers (replying to and answering their comments)
  • Writing captions and scheduling every piece of content
  • Engaging with influencers and other brands in the same industry
  • Managing content for both companies
  • Brainstorming ideas and delegating graphic briefs to designers through Notion
  • Managing AI support bots for both companies in their communities
  • Hosting giveaways and picking winners
  • Doing competitive research and reaching out to influencers

The content (graphics) is branded, so I can't use generic AI-generated stuff or stock images. For Reels, I keep it simple with motion graphics. (I can use AI for inspirations though)

This is what I'm doing right now. I don't want to disclose too much info (my salary is close to $2K).

I feel like I'm on the edge of burnout, or maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me.
