Now, let's talk about a very important topic for every future president, for some reason, for some
it's a controversial topic and it is due to burnout.
Is it real?
Is it not what you should do to avoid burnout and how you can feel that you are burning out?
And to be fair, a question of whether the burnout is a real thing or not is very, um, to say the
least, are stupid for me because it, of course, exists.
Burnout can exist for everything you do, for everything you can do.
And if you do something too much or it causes you too much stress, you will stop wanting to do that.
And you do.
Burnout is a real thing and the thing that needs to be addressed.
So YouTube is burnout, something like I can't do this anymore and I don't want to.
When you feel like this towards a YouTube channel, then it's a telltale sign that you are burning out
or you have already burnt out.
And for that reason, it can be a bit difficult to understand on what time, what place you are or you
are burning out.
You've already burned out.
But here are some indicator.
What might cause this cause the burn out for you?
It might be too much work at once, meaning that it can be a short amount of time, short amount of
time, like maybe a few weeks or months where you are exceptionally hard working, like every day,
going full day, working on your YouTube channel and you're just stretching yourself so thin, like
burning literally yourself so much that you will be burned out by the end of this period, uh, next
year, of course, continuing stress, which can be caused by the reason, number one, while you are
doing too much work, you are actually, uh, causing yourself ultimate stress and the fun part of you,
too.
Creation is slowly fading away and only the tedious part is left.
And the tedious part doing that is part only is the sure way to burn out on YouTube.
Next is making videos faster than ideas are coming.
This is something that I actually faced myself.
I was making more videos than I had and ideas for in the future because I usually come back to create
my videos in advance.
And when you have like five videos to do at the same time, and while you're done with the five videos,
you have ideas for only two new ones.
And then you do these two new ones and you have ideas.
One, you and then you are done for a few months.
It can be a bit difficult because creation of the videos too fast is a very, very sure way to burn
out.
And the next is constant failures because you might be doing all the work and be successful and not
burnout while you are failing constantly.
I mean, your videos are not getting any views, your videos are not getting any subscribers and you
watch time, no interactions, no engagements.
It is a sure way to stop wanting to do this because you already done too much and you feel like you're
overwhelmed and you need to stop.
That's that's what burnout is in this case.
So what you can do in order to alleviate burnout, not your not of course, save one hundred percent
from the burnout, but at least you can alleviate it.
Take a break now.
I'll take care of you more than yourself.
Take a break.
Have some rest day, week, month, as much as you need.
It's OK to take a break.
It's absolutely OK to take a break.
If you are doing videos weekly and you feel like you're overwhelmed, you're quitting way too much.
Take a week off.
Nobody will blink an eye.
Probably if you are already big established YouTube, you can say it in your social media that you're
taking a week off, you're taking two weeks off, your take a month off, and everyone will just purely
understand it.
It's it it is not a big problem.
There will be some people who will just jump out and go, yeah, I want videos tomorrow.
And it's why there are no videos for two weeks.
But no worries, though.
Those are very minor people.
And overall, all you need to do is concentrate on yourself.
It's OK to take a break on YouTube if you're feeling that you need one.
Many YouTube bears will tell you that, oh, you need consistency.
Do not miss any single time frame that you schedule yourself with or you will not be successful in it.
Yes, overall, yes.
But when you feel like you need a break, you need to take a break.
And it's completely OK too.
It might stifle your little growth a bit tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny bit.
But overall, the impact on you will be so much better that overall it will be beneficial for you and
for your YouTube channel.
Change your schedule if you feel like you are making too many videos and you're feeling overwhelmed
with your schedule, make McPheters less often.
It's completely fine.
It's OK to make your videos less often.
Yes, you will make your channel will grow slower because of that, because overall quantity matters
a lot.
But because of that, because you make your viewers less often, you will most likely focus on quality.
And for that reason you might alleviate the problem, the loss that you have gone through by decreasing
the schedule if you're responsible.
And one of my channels I was uploading of videos twice a week now.
I was uploading it that actually video every three times a week.
I felt like it was too much and I went to two times a week.
After a few months, I felt like even two times a week were too much.
I was I was just creating videos for the sake of creation of the videos.
And I didn't like this.
I didn't want this.
I want this.
I wanted every single one of my videos to be an impactful and to be beneficial for the reason people
are coming to my channel and I want to see them once a week.
This slowed it down at the accelerated speed of the growth, but channels still continue to grow and
stand to this day.
It continues to grow, which is I think now I'm creating all the videos on the channel once a week and
I feel like I'm full of fresh ideas.
I, I just scrap ideas that I feel like it will not be the great benefit for the channel.
And it's completely fine this time because I have a bunch of other ideas that I can replace it and now
I can actually choose ideas for myself more that will be more beneficial for the channel rather than
use every ideas for the videos.
Because I will run out of I'm running out of ideas and I need everything that I can think of.
So this at least I have a choice.
What you need to focus on in this case is just make viewers less often but don't like don't schedule
change the schedules way too often.
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
week and not in a single month tested.
Feel like if you like two times a week is OK for you to continue doing that.
If you feel like even that is overwhelming, continue once a week.
It is all OK.
Just have a schedule that's that's important.
Don't don't do the videos on random now.
Schedule your work hours.
Probably the last but not least of your burnout remedies.
Have an exact wartimes and spend the rest of the time on yourself.
I understand that very, very minority of you will have a YouTube channel as their own main source of
income or main job.
And for everyone, for the majority of the people, it is a side hustle and side work.
And you cannot simply just you don't have a luxury to have to reschedule your YouTube work hours.
You work on YouTube whenever you can.
But I have a distinct times for YouTube only work on that distinct times, and if you feel like you
cannot make the work of a YouTube videos work in that time that you have, maybe it less of it.
If you feel like you have only six hours in a week to work on your YouTube and you are doing two videos
a week, and if you like that six hours, three hours per video is not enough to one video.
It's completely OK.
It's better for you to spend six hours on one good video, then be on an edge and work like crazy for
three hours per video.
It's better to have one to six hours than 30 videos with three hours of work.
To be fair, in order to make around ten minute video, including all the preparations, all the editing
while recording everything.
Six hours is more than enough, but three three hours might not be enough for the video.
So I suggest you to take to choose a day every single day or every single two days or so to choose a
time every single day.
For example, I will work on YouTube from 8pm to 9pm every single day except Mondays and say something
like that, or Sundays, something like that.
You'll work every single day for one hour.
Have this date and do the work on that times.
Only one hour's up your up.
You're having a good time for yourself, spending time with your family, spending time with your friends,
spending time on your other job.
If you want, just have a schedule, because otherwise it's going to be very overwhelming for you because
you never know when you're going to work.
And if sometimes that you cannot do the work, at least you can reschedule and just have what, say
one day, one spare day, for example, work on Sunday.
If we have free Saturday from eight to nine.
And you were unable to work on a Thursday work on Sunday, it's completely fine.
Just have a schedule that will work for you, but have a schedule, work schedule, multivariable schedule,
the work schedule a little bit for this one.
Let's go to the next lecture then.
