Getting Back On Top Of Things

For quite a long time I've been behind on a lot of things, and it has affected my ability to focus on new content. During the second half of last month I made a difficult decision to stop streaming or making videos for over a week to try and sort things out.

It's always worrying when you do that. This is such a fickle business and I always worry that I'll lose viewers if I take too long out. Sometimes, like when moving house, it can't be helped. But it was even more difficult when it was essentially my own choice. However taking that time away was a huge success on my end. I used all that time to work on things in the background and I got a lot done that I'd been meaning to do for a while. I'm almost caught up with video edits, have better organised my time for the future, and just generally improved my workflow.

But something that was unexpected was the freedom to think clearly about things. Taking some time away and not being so caught up in everything that I needed to do on a day to day basis gave me a lot of free head space to just think things over and come up with solutions to problems I'd had for a while. The value of taking some down time has become much more apparent during that week off and it's something I'm going to keep in mind as I try to find a better work/life balance this year.

Now, just those MCEC videos and I'll be all caught up! XD
