=== Resetting Focus (03:23) ===

[00:00:10]  Greetings you proud sons of Rome!
[00:00:13]  This is just a status update as it were.
[00:00:17]  I mainly wanted to do it to tell you that the Wednesday Q  ⁇ A's are tomorrow.
[00:00:22]  I didn't make them yesterday and I didn't make them today because I am in a situation where I can't perform at my best and my mentality when I make my videos is that I could die tomorrow, which means that I have to make the very best effort to make the very best product as it were.
[00:00:43]  And if I'm not in a situation where I can do that, I'd rather wait one day.
[00:00:48]  Because in two weeks, if someone is gonna watch the video, nobody's gonna care if it was on a Wednesday or Thursday.
[00:00:54]  So that's what's up.
[00:00:55]  I'm also gonna, as I wrote in my Sunday summary last now, this Monday, that I'll cut down a bit on a video frequency because I need to focus on my studies a bit.
[00:01:09]  And what I mean by cutting down on my video frequency, it's more like, you know, four videos a week instead of over seven videos a week, which I've had up until this point.
[00:01:19]  It hurts like a fucking beach to do it now when I've almost reached my, you know, life goal of 10,000 subscribers.
[00:01:26]  So that's really, that really hurts, but it is what it is.
[00:01:29]  I tell you all the time to take the long-term success before the short-term reward.
[00:01:34]  So for me, getting my bachelor thesis in economics done by this May and June must come before the short-term reward of getting 10,000 subscribers in YouTube.
[00:01:47]  Now keep in mind for most of my subscribers, for the absolute majority of my subscribers, it won't matter that I post four videos a week instead because most subscribers don't watch every video, they don't watch a video a day either.
[00:02:02]  But I just want to make that clear right now.
[00:02:05]  I had a very very fucking good stretch of time and I utilized that momentum to perfection if I may say so myself.
[00:02:13]  You know the whole autumn and the beginning of this year just went straight up.
[00:02:17]  Everything went perfect.
[00:02:18]  I'm very very thankful for that and obviously thanks for the support from you all.
[00:02:25]  But now I need to reset my focus a bit.
[00:02:29]  I always find it really hard to do two things at the same time.
[00:02:32]  I'd rather take one thing and push that direction towards excellence.
[00:02:36]  And now I just need to focus a bit on my studies for maybe a month or two till I get on track.
[00:02:44]  And then when the summer comes like I'll fucking go hard and heavy on the on YouTube again like a video every day and then I'll be shredded and have more ideas for videos as well.
[00:02:55]  And then I also needed time for my glorious online clients as well to push them to excellence.
[00:03:01]  So that's the main priorities right now.
[00:03:04]  But with this said I've been a bit inactive the last week here on YouTube at least but I made some other games on Facebook.
[00:03:15]  If you haven't already followed me on Facebook please do so below because I do even if Facebook is dying I still try to put out good content every day and we have quite good discussions there as well and for everyone who's active on my Facebook page I fucking love it.
[00:03:31]  We always have some good discussions going on there.

=== Less Frequent Uploads Ahead (00:52) ===

[00:03:34]  So feel free to check that out.
[00:03:36]  And then if you don't have Facebook or don't want to go into my Facebook page I have all of the articles I write there is also on my narcissus.se page so check that out if you haven't already done so So yeah, that was a little status update for me.
[00:03:52]  The Q and A's will be up tomorrow and for the coming week, months, maybe two months, I'll may have a bit of a less frequent upload schedule and videos that will may be made less obviously Let's Plays.
[00:04:10]  But if you like my Let's Plays I've made quite a few of them so uh check through my made videos and uh uh look if you have missed anything there.
[00:04:20]  So yeah, I just wanted to say that anyway, there's a secret I'll never tell.
