1
00:00:05,090 --> 00:00:11,360
Now, let's talk about a very important topic for every future president, for some reason, for some

2
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:16,040
it's a controversial topic and it is due to burnout.

3
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:17,020
Is it real?

4
00:00:17,030 --> 00:00:22,700
Is it not what you should do to avoid burnout and how you can feel that you are burning out?

5
00:00:23,090 --> 00:00:31,190
And to be fair, a question of whether the burnout is a real thing or not is very, um, to say the

6
00:00:31,190 --> 00:00:34,700
least, are stupid for me because it, of course, exists.

7
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:39,470
Burnout can exist for everything you do, for everything you can do.

8
00:00:39,980 --> 00:00:46,220
And if you do something too much or it causes you too much stress, you will stop wanting to do that.

9
00:00:46,220 --> 00:00:46,550
And you do.

10
00:00:46,550 --> 00:00:51,470
Burnout is a real thing and the thing that needs to be addressed.

11
00:00:51,470 --> 00:00:58,210
So YouTube is burnout, something like I can't do this anymore and I don't want to.

12
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:06,680
When you feel like this towards a YouTube channel, then it's a telltale sign that you are burning out

13
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,330
or you have already burnt out.

14
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:17,690
And for that reason, it can be a bit difficult to understand on what time, what place you are or you

15
00:01:17,690 --> 00:01:18,470
are burning out.

16
00:01:18,470 --> 00:01:19,460
You've already burned out.

17
00:01:19,970 --> 00:01:22,420
But here are some indicator.

18
00:01:22,790 --> 00:01:26,360
What might cause this cause the burn out for you?

19
00:01:26,570 --> 00:01:32,600
It might be too much work at once, meaning that it can be a short amount of time, short amount of

20
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:38,120
time, like maybe a few weeks or months where you are exceptionally hard working, like every day,

21
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:44,580
going full day, working on your YouTube channel and you're just stretching yourself so thin, like

22
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:52,520
burning literally yourself so much that you will be burned out by the end of this period, uh, next

23
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,620
year, of course, continuing stress, which can be caused by the reason, number one, while you are

24
00:01:57,620 --> 00:02:05,480
doing too much work, you are actually, uh, causing yourself ultimate stress and the fun part of you,

25
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:05,690
too.

26
00:02:05,690 --> 00:02:10,250
Creation is slowly fading away and only the tedious part is left.

27
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:16,550
And the tedious part doing that is part only is the sure way to burn out on YouTube.

28
00:02:16,850 --> 00:02:20,720
Next is making videos faster than ideas are coming.

29
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,530
This is something that I actually faced myself.

30
00:02:24,890 --> 00:02:32,330
I was making more videos than I had and ideas for in the future because I usually come back to create

31
00:02:32,330 --> 00:02:34,100
my videos in advance.

32
00:02:34,460 --> 00:02:41,410
And when you have like five videos to do at the same time, and while you're done with the five videos,

33
00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:44,450
you have ideas for only two new ones.

34
00:02:44,690 --> 00:02:47,030
And then you do these two new ones and you have ideas.

35
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:50,270
One, you and then you are done for a few months.

36
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:58,910
It can be a bit difficult because creation of the videos too fast is a very, very sure way to burn

37
00:02:58,910 --> 00:02:59,180
out.

38
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:05,810
And the next is constant failures because you might be doing all the work and be successful and not

39
00:03:05,810 --> 00:03:09,380
burnout while you are failing constantly.

40
00:03:09,380 --> 00:03:13,250
I mean, your videos are not getting any views, your videos are not getting any subscribers and you

41
00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:15,080
watch time, no interactions, no engagements.

42
00:03:15,710 --> 00:03:21,440
It is a sure way to stop wanting to do this because you already done too much and you feel like you're

43
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,410
overwhelmed and you need to stop.

44
00:03:24,410 --> 00:03:26,420
That's that's what burnout is in this case.

45
00:03:26,780 --> 00:03:32,060
So what you can do in order to alleviate burnout, not your not of course, save one hundred percent

46
00:03:32,060 --> 00:03:34,370
from the burnout, but at least you can alleviate it.

47
00:03:34,910 --> 00:03:36,300
Take a break now.

48
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:39,350
I'll take care of you more than yourself.

49
00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:40,130
Take a break.

50
00:03:40,130 --> 00:03:45,470
Have some rest day, week, month, as much as you need.

51
00:03:45,470 --> 00:03:46,730
It's OK to take a break.

52
00:03:46,970 --> 00:03:48,590
It's absolutely OK to take a break.

53
00:03:48,590 --> 00:03:52,730
If you are doing videos weekly and you feel like you're overwhelmed, you're quitting way too much.

54
00:03:53,150 --> 00:03:53,990
Take a week off.

55
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,790
Nobody will blink an eye.

56
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:02,450
Probably if you are already big established YouTube, you can say it in your social media that you're

57
00:04:02,450 --> 00:04:07,910
taking a week off, you're taking two weeks off, your take a month off, and everyone will just purely

58
00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:08,540
understand it.

59
00:04:08,540 --> 00:04:10,580
It's it it is not a big problem.

60
00:04:10,580 --> 00:04:14,720
There will be some people who will just jump out and go, yeah, I want videos tomorrow.

61
00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:17,310
And it's why there are no videos for two weeks.

62
00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:19,900
But no worries, though.

63
00:04:19,910 --> 00:04:23,270
Those are very minor people.

64
00:04:23,270 --> 00:04:27,410
And overall, all you need to do is concentrate on yourself.

65
00:04:27,710 --> 00:04:32,180
It's OK to take a break on YouTube if you're feeling that you need one.

66
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,900
Many YouTube bears will tell you that, oh, you need consistency.

67
00:04:35,900 --> 00:04:41,300
Do not miss any single time frame that you schedule yourself with or you will not be successful in it.

68
00:04:42,050 --> 00:04:43,430
Yes, overall, yes.

69
00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:47,840
But when you feel like you need a break, you need to take a break.

70
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,430
And it's completely OK too.

71
00:04:49,820 --> 00:04:55,700
It might stifle your little growth a bit tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny bit.

72
00:04:56,150 --> 00:05:02,180
But overall, the impact on you will be so much better that overall it will be beneficial for you and

73
00:05:02,180 --> 00:05:03,080
for your YouTube channel.

74
00:05:03,950 --> 00:05:10,730
Change your schedule if you feel like you are making too many videos and you're feeling overwhelmed

75
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,580
with your schedule, make McPheters less often.

76
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,200
It's completely fine.

77
00:05:15,420 --> 00:05:18,780
It's OK to make your videos less often.

78
00:05:19,010 --> 00:05:26,540
Yes, you will make your channel will grow slower because of that, because overall quantity matters

79
00:05:26,540 --> 00:05:27,140
a lot.

80
00:05:27,650 --> 00:05:33,740
But because of that, because you make your viewers less often, you will most likely focus on quality.

81
00:05:33,740 --> 00:05:41,900
And for that reason you might alleviate the problem, the loss that you have gone through by decreasing

82
00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:43,730
the schedule if you're responsible.

83
00:05:43,730 --> 00:05:48,260
And one of my channels I was uploading of videos twice a week now.

84
00:05:48,260 --> 00:05:51,380
I was uploading it that actually video every three times a week.

85
00:05:52,010 --> 00:05:55,640
I felt like it was too much and I went to two times a week.

86
00:05:56,530 --> 00:06:00,380
After a few months, I felt like even two times a week were too much.

87
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,900
I was I was just creating videos for the sake of creation of the videos.

88
00:06:04,900 --> 00:06:06,130
And I didn't like this.

89
00:06:06,130 --> 00:06:06,790
I didn't want this.

90
00:06:06,940 --> 00:06:07,480
I want this.

91
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:15,550
I wanted every single one of my videos to be an impactful and to be beneficial for the reason people

92
00:06:15,550 --> 00:06:18,370
are coming to my channel and I want to see them once a week.

93
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:27,220
This slowed it down at the accelerated speed of the growth, but channels still continue to grow and

94
00:06:27,220 --> 00:06:28,330
stand to this day.

95
00:06:28,330 --> 00:06:35,860
It continues to grow, which is I think now I'm creating all the videos on the channel once a week and

96
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:38,340
I feel like I'm full of fresh ideas.

97
00:06:38,350 --> 00:06:43,720
I, I just scrap ideas that I feel like it will not be the great benefit for the channel.

98
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:49,270
And it's completely fine this time because I have a bunch of other ideas that I can replace it and now

99
00:06:49,270 --> 00:06:55,810
I can actually choose ideas for myself more that will be more beneficial for the channel rather than

100
00:06:56,050 --> 00:06:58,240
use every ideas for the videos.

101
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,780
Because I will run out of I'm running out of ideas and I need everything that I can think of.

102
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,510
So this at least I have a choice.

103
00:07:08,020 --> 00:07:15,100
What you need to focus on in this case is just make viewers less often but don't like don't schedule

104
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:16,600
change the schedules way too often.

105
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,670
Like I don't go in a single month, don't go from three times a week to two times a week to one time

106
00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:24,100
week and not in a single month tested.

107
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,870
Feel like if you like two times a week is OK for you to continue doing that.

108
00:07:28,870 --> 00:07:31,810
If you feel like even that is overwhelming, continue once a week.

109
00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:34,270
It is all OK.

110
00:07:34,450 --> 00:07:36,600
Just have a schedule that's that's important.

111
00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:39,610
Don't don't do the videos on random now.

112
00:07:39,610 --> 00:07:40,930
Schedule your work hours.

113
00:07:40,930 --> 00:07:46,330
Probably the last but not least of your burnout remedies.

114
00:07:47,740 --> 00:07:52,120
Have an exact wartimes and spend the rest of the time on yourself.

115
00:07:52,570 --> 00:08:00,310
I understand that very, very minority of you will have a YouTube channel as their own main source of

116
00:08:00,310 --> 00:08:02,170
income or main job.

117
00:08:02,170 --> 00:08:07,990
And for everyone, for the majority of the people, it is a side hustle and side work.

118
00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:17,140
And you cannot simply just you don't have a luxury to have to reschedule your YouTube work hours.

119
00:08:17,140 --> 00:08:19,210
You work on YouTube whenever you can.

120
00:08:20,140 --> 00:08:29,680
But I have a distinct times for YouTube only work on that distinct times, and if you feel like you

121
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:36,550
cannot make the work of a YouTube videos work in that time that you have, maybe it less of it.

122
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:45,340
If you feel like you have only six hours in a week to work on your YouTube and you are doing two videos

123
00:08:45,340 --> 00:08:52,740
a week, and if you like that six hours, three hours per video is not enough to one video.

124
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:54,550
It's completely OK.

125
00:08:54,730 --> 00:09:02,350
It's better for you to spend six hours on one good video, then be on an edge and work like crazy for

126
00:09:02,350 --> 00:09:04,080
three hours per video.

127
00:09:04,870 --> 00:09:11,250
It's better to have one to six hours than 30 videos with three hours of work.

128
00:09:11,260 --> 00:09:17,530
To be fair, in order to make around ten minute video, including all the preparations, all the editing

129
00:09:17,770 --> 00:09:19,660
while recording everything.

130
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,580
Six hours is more than enough, but three three hours might not be enough for the video.

131
00:09:24,910 --> 00:09:31,150
So I suggest you to take to choose a day every single day or every single two days or so to choose a

132
00:09:31,150 --> 00:09:32,050
time every single day.

133
00:09:32,350 --> 00:09:40,810
For example, I will work on YouTube from 8pm to 9pm every single day except Mondays and say something

134
00:09:40,810 --> 00:09:43,510
like that, or Sundays, something like that.

135
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:46,270
You'll work every single day for one hour.

136
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,340
Have this date and do the work on that times.

137
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,220
Only one hour's up your up.

138
00:09:53,370 --> 00:09:57,750
You're having a good time for yourself, spending time with your family, spending time with your friends,

139
00:09:57,900 --> 00:09:59,640
spending time on your other job.

140
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:06,150
If you want, just have a schedule, because otherwise it's going to be very overwhelming for you because

141
00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:07,770
you never know when you're going to work.

142
00:10:08,010 --> 00:10:15,330
And if sometimes that you cannot do the work, at least you can reschedule and just have what, say

143
00:10:15,450 --> 00:10:18,110
one day, one spare day, for example, work on Sunday.

144
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,570
If we have free Saturday from eight to nine.

145
00:10:21,570 --> 00:10:25,980
And you were unable to work on a Thursday work on Sunday, it's completely fine.

146
00:10:26,370 --> 00:10:32,760
Just have a schedule that will work for you, but have a schedule, work schedule, multivariable schedule,

147
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,800
the work schedule a little bit for this one.

148
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:35,880
Let's go to the next lecture then.
