Kate Cavanaugh Writes | DOES AUTHORTUBE AFFECT MY WRITING PRODUCTIVITY? (.....yes) & other lessons learned from my hiatus! @KateCavanaugh | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I definitely wrote more and read more....but was my authortube hiatus worth it? (And 7 other productivity & work-life balance realizations!)
0:00 Hello again!! It's been a bit. :)
1:07 The ~feeling~ of writing more & completing Project Death in January (which I wouldn't have done if I'd still been making videos)!
2:44 Bits of FOMO and feeling like I wasn't part of the writing community...
4:47 The more frequently you do something, the easier it is! (And my YouTube ideas slowing down...)
6:14 Guilt, criticism, & mental health realizations.
8:51 YouTube stats ($$) from this break!
11:33 Vlogging is weird lolol.
12:16 Learning how to successfully take days off "work", how my productivity increased, & what I did with my time!
15:23 Would I ever do this again?
☟↓ QUESTIONS FOR YOU BELOOOOOW! ↓☟
D I S C U S S I O N Q U E S T I O N S :
WHAT HAVE I MISSED!? What were your favorite authortube videos this past month, what's been going on in the community, did you personally start a channel recently?
What's been your best read so far this year??
What's a hobby or activity you've wanted to try but haven't taken the plunge yet? (Whether that's a longterm thing or a one-time activity, like going axe throwing?? Bahaha.)
