Motivation Problems

Lazy bum? Let me ask you something: Do you have other obligations such as a regular day job or school? In that case it is about as much as you can do. I have a regular day job, and it is hard to even do one video a week. Sometimes I don't quite make it, but it's OK. I refuse to force out content, and I want to edit to the best of my abilities!

Yeah, I actually do have school so it's hard for me to upload often. Editing takes so much time for me and even then, the video will still not be perfect. I still do it because I really enjoy YT
 
Well motivation can be a tricky child to tame because there will be up and downs. I personally upload videos on a daily schedule (by having also a little backlog of 2-3 videos) because I have some time I can spend every day, but also because I truly desire to obtain something good from my channel. Sometimes results aren't what I expect but I won't stop.

You and the other people who commented here, are right. I really have to get my priorities in check to see the progress that I want. I'll strive to go through with my goals in YT. Thank you :)
 
I try not to wait until I'm motivated, I just make certain days and times the days and times I record and upload. So if it's Wednesday night and I'm home from work, it's time to record a 3 ingredient recipe. It's not about whether I want to do it or not, that's just the time I record that kind of video, and after a while, it's like any other scheduled task. I don't wait to be motivated to brush my teeth or take a shower, I just do those things, so maybe stop waiting to be motivated and just schedule the time to make videos and you'll fall into a habit of doing them!

I heard that having a schedule for uploads is advantageous. I'll have to try it out! Thank you for the suggestion.
 
What I do is I record all day Saturday, edit and make thumbnails all day Sunday, then all I have to do all week is press the upload button on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday which are my scheduled upload days. A schedule helps a lot. My weekends are timed very well so I can get extra videos done in case I don't like one that I recorded or something.

Hmmm, having a schedule seemed to be advantageous.
