20 weeks, 20 videos published
Yeah, the streak is still going on. I haven’t stopped since publishing my first YouTube video ever at the end of February. There is something magical in this practice that keeps me going. Here I am again after another 10 videos in 10 weeks to share my thoughts about the progress. Or is there any really?
Keep going That is what everybody says when it comes to content creation. But for me, it was different. I’ve felt what is my main focus and that pulled me forward to record myself for the first time. It was the contrast that I saw my relationship with technology from before an era when I started journaling and now which is more than 2 years after my first page written in my analog journal.
I didn’t see that boundary. I was being enslaved by my phone in the pocket. But I took control and started doing intentional choices day after another. So this is WHY I am really doing all of this. In numbers, it has been more than 493 hours spent while creating these videos and blogs, attending a meetup, recording a podcast and ultimately coding two apps (starting with Apple Watch) that help me bridge analog with digital.
There is definitely something in there that I am eager to explore. I cannot stop thinking about how I can bring the same fruits I grew myself over the period of 2 years to others so they can experience the same digital freedom as myself. It took me 2 years to go through this transformation and realize everything. Of course, it’s not about doing it quick, but I want to tell you WHAT, WHY and HOW to do it.
Dealing with uncertainty
It has been crazy for me without an income, living from my reserves since the beginning of the year. It is not an exaggeration if I say that this is the most transformative period of my life. And I want to be clear that this is not about me being lucky at all. I am saying that everything is about setting goals and being able to optimize in a way so that the likelihood of achieving them is higher. I’ve done some optimizations that allow me to live on relatively low expenses. Yes, I don’t own a house yet but that can wait. What cannot wait is my desire to express myself.
I will see later if this is worth it but numbers are already telling a lot. I am repeating “persist” every day. I am not seeing a response because I’ve probably haven’t cracked the equation for my online brand yet. This is just the question of time and this is the most valuable resource each of us have. I am the only person responsible for how I spend it and it better be the best way. So here is on another 10 videos in 10 weeks. Hope to see you in another 10 weeks here.
