Well, it happened. I finished my first week with flying colors. Then, the second week started, and I flopped, well, kinda. My whole family is coming for the holidays... TOMORROW!! 😅 So... no excuses, but I decided to convert my office to a bedroom, which has taken up ALL my time. Still, no excuses. I guess the beauty of all this is that we get to do what we need to do with no stress. I learned a long time ago that to stay young, you have to limit stress as much as possible. So, while my first inclination was to beat myself up about not keeping up with my plan and meeting my goal, I chose to do what I felt was right for me. So, I am going to enjoy my family and work when (and if) I can while they're here. I won't get this time back, so when they leave, I'll start week two and won't put myself on a guilt trip or get down on myself because, in my eyes, I didn't fail; I just made a different (better) choice. To be continued... 😊

Week one is complete without missing a day! Yay!! Day 6: Refined titles and finished keywords and descriptions for the next three videos I want to do. Day 7: Recorded three videos. Now I need a nap! 😅

Now, the real work begins. Today, I did some research to select the topics for my next three videos, including Titles and tags, and that was a lot more involved than I thought. The goal is to have five videos published by the end of this. 🥴 I didn't get around to keywords and descriptions because, of course, researching on YouTube sent me down a rabbit hole, but I made my way back up. I may be doing this all out of order, but I'm still following my goal of doing "something" every day to help me get comfortable with all this and get my channel up and running again. I am about to close out the first week, and I must say, it's been pretty good so far. Five days down and counting!

OMG... 😏 All I can say is that my intro video is done, uploaded, and scheduled to go public tomorrow (Tuesday). Not pleased with it, but well, it's there. That's about all I can say about that. I'm always hard on "me," and done is better than perfect. It will get better, and I am not discouraged at all. Forward moves ahead... ➡️

I almost let the day go by. I hope I'm not annoying you guys with these, but I'll try to keep them shorter. I still have 11 days to go. I've just never been accountable, which is why I'd always fail to complete things. This time, I'm doing it for myself and anybody else it might encourage. Today, I created three videos. Whew! It was actually fun! They're not following the "proper format" with a hook, intro, body, outro, etc. I'll get to that later. I just had an "itching" to get something out there, and it's still practice for me right now, but it's slowly coming together. 😊 Now I'm working on descriptions, keywords, tags, thumbnails, etc., so I can at least get the intro video to my channel up tomorrow. Fingers crossed! 🤞
