I've been preparing all the resources I need to optimize my workflow and said that I would start being productive on Monday, I saw someone living my dream in Thailand and got so motivated that I wanted to work imminently but promised to start on Monday.
Monday rolls around, and I read 100 pages of a book in between school class periods, was learning about the YouTube algorithm and thinking about how I can improve my channel the entire walk home and once I got home rushed to my room to produce a video.
Normally when this happens, I would get distracted or procrastinate it, but I went straight to it and blitzed out my video outline and A-roll an hour earlier than expected. Now I just need to add some graphics to my intro and finish up my description, and I'm done for the day.
I'm posting this to prove that motivation is a tool you should NOT ignore.
Take care, y'all!
