I lost my way when it comes to creating things for video. TikTok, Reels, and YouTube have all distracted me from what I enjoy creating – 300-word blog posts.
The pace of YouTube content I made in June was too much. I can’t keep that up. My goal was a video a week. I ended up with 14 streams, five videos, and eight shorts. It is too much. With my office in shambles due to a home renovation project, the downtime allows me to evaluate much of what I have been doing around gaming, content, and how I want to show up on the internet.
I am old. I have been doing this internet thing for too long. Everything is too fractured, and I am tired. I am settling on some changes and will go with what is easy. My time is limited. I need to respect this limitation.
Blogging returns because I prefer words. YouTube content (at a greatly reduced schedule) is on a break until my office situation is resolved in August. My social media presence is Mastodon and Instagram.
This is it. It is all I can do right now. It is time to stop trying to be everywhere and do a few things to the best of my ability.
