hi friends and welcome back to my
channel this week I'm coming at you with
a brand-new set up i don't know if you
can tell but this quality is hype! if you
want to know more about my camera setup
you're gonna have to watch my upcoming
weekly vlog because I just - I just filmed
bunch of time lapses of setting it up it
took me quite a while but here we are
and here - we're - the video is happening
it's happening so this week I want to
talk to you about motivation and passion
and productivity. Lately I've been trying
to work on my youtube channel, my blog,
that kind of thing more often and I
realize how hard it can be to have
persistence with that and to really make
progress. And I feel like there's a lot
of us here on YouTube that are small
creators that are really passionate
about what we do and we just want to
keep making stuff and keep getting
better but obviously when it's not your
full-time job to do this and you've got
a lot of other stuff going on in your
life, it can be really difficult to see that
progress happening.
many of you who've been on the internet
for a while will have heard of NaNoWriMo
or nanoWRYmo depending on how you say it...
It stands for national novel writing month
and it happens to be november.
I've participated in nanowrimo many times in
the past with little success. I love
writing but I don't think novels are
really my thing. So partly inspired by
nanowrimo and partly inspired by the
fact i really want to try and make more
content and exercise my creative muscles
a little bit more often i decided to
come up with a challenge for myself that
I would love for you guys to take part
in too! the challenge is called create
everyday and i'm going to be doing it
for november! So create everyday is
simple
all it requires is that you spend at
least an hour or however much you want
to
alot for yourself on your passion
project every day for a whole month so
for me that means i'm going to spend an
hour working on youtube every single day
so whether that means filming a video
like I am today
editing a video like I probably will be
tomorrow or writing a script for a video
or brainstorming video ideas all of
those things count and as long as you
put in your effort for the amount of
time that you've given yourself each day
then you win create every day to
remember the point is I know that I want
to be able to spend more time working on
what I love and true that you guys would
too
so I think it'd be awesome if we can all
get together and make a commitment to
ourselves to spend time doing what we
love at least once a day for a whole
month
the reason why I want to do this is
because for so long I feel like I've had
so many passions I've talked about this
before on my channel I love writing I
love making videos i love photography
but i also have a ton of other interests
i love reading books i love watching
science videos of learning weird
historical facts and how do i find time
for all these things
how do I decide what I'm going to focus
my time on and so the realization that i
came to is there's never going to be an
inspiration that just tells you what
you're meant to do you have to decide
what is most important to you and I've
decided for create everyday November
that was most important to me is going
to be my youtube channel i want to work
on Catherine 19 to make the best content
possible that i'm satisfied with kind of
creative work that I'm doing and
hopefully that you guys will enjoy
watching
so what can you expect to see from me
through create everyday november well i
am going to be making my weekly videos
as usual you have a video up for you
every wednesday friday and weekly vlog
every Saturday because this month I'm
going to get back to weekly vlogging i'm
also going to be active on Twitter and
Instagram and snapchat and I'd love to
communicate with you guys there about
how you create everyday November is
going I think it'd be awesome to get all
encourage each other and keep each other
on track and give feedback on
the creative endeavors that we're all
working on so i hope it was inspiring to
you i hope that you can join me on my
journey of creating something every
single day i'm not saying that you have
to have an output or product every day
which is putting that time into work on
it is the important thing anyway this
video has gone on long enough
thanks so much for watching I really
hope that you join me in this if you're
interested in following your passion or
if you just continue to watch my videos

means a lot to me as well make sure you

inspired let me know in the comments

everyday november i would love to follow
along on your journey and support you
