I finally want to start recording videos for my YouTube channel 60? So What!


I registered the name and set up my account almost 2 years ago, had ideas, topics and some skills to share, but never had a real courage to start! 

I find excuses such as “ oh, I need to learn a lot, before I start”, another good one -“I am busy”, but honestly, I think I am just simply afraid of unknown.

First step is the hardest.

I am trying to figure out what do I need to know before I attempt to record videos, what equipment do I need.

I am using following system:

Writing down categories such as knowledge needed, equipment, books to read, educational videos to watch brings structure to the task.

Write as many questions in each category as you wish.

Breaking each category down into the individual questions makes is more digestible. 

Example: 

Category: Knowledge 

Question: What do I need to know about lighting?

And finally breaking each question into smaller chunks:

  1. What is the best affordable lighting setup?
  2. Where to buy?
  3. What would be the best place for the recording videos for YouTube in terms of lighting in the room?
  4. How lighting affects the quality of the video?
  5. Where to learn fast and effectively about the lighting. Recommendations.
  6. What equipment I have and what is missing.
  7. Who can help me?

Just write down every possible concern that comes to your mind. When you’ll start to investigate your smaller chunks of a question, some of the chunks will be answered simultaneously, so you can cross them out of your list.

This system helps to calm down the feelings of overwhelm, fear and frustration. It is way easier to manage small tasks and take the baby steps, instead of watching an hour or two long video about the whole process.

After mastering one question, move to the next. Till you have all the answers.

After finishing one category, proceed to the next. Repeat the process. 

Can you learn everything at once? Probably not.

But baby steps will move you forward, you just need to make them consistently and courageously. And when you do, pat yourself on the back.

Good luck to me and you!


Please let me know if you have any questions and I will try to help.

 Unboxing HOMCOM Yogurt Maker, model SNJ-168.B and Review https://youtu.be/1vtAqsrazJI We bought HOMCOM Yogurt Maker because we want to make fresh, healthy, additive free and   preservative-free, probiotic-rich yogurt tailored to our taste!  It is a lightweight and compact appliance designed to simplify homemade yogurt preparation. It promises a consistent heating for even fermentation. I like that jars for yogurt production are made of glass and each one is of the perfect serving size. The yogurt maker itself is light and small, which makes it easy to store.  The top clear cover is a bit thin plastic, so you have to be careful not to drop it. I am also not fond of plastic covers for the glass jars, and may look in the future for alternative solutions. But on the other hand, the coved do not touch the product inside and temperatures are too low to produce unwanted chemicals.  Default setting by the manufacturer is 42C (107.6 F) and 8 hours for yogurt production....

Paint Whimsical Flowers Along with Me - Easy Watercolor Painting and Doodling for Absolute Beginners Paint Whimsical Flowers Along with Me - Easy Watercolor Painting and Doodling for Absolute Beginners. Sometimes, it is intimidating to try complex watercolor painting. It looks so complicated that we stay away from even considering giving it a try. We just brush it off with the thought, “I can’t do that.” But… I invite you to dip your brush into the paint and try creating this simple and easy whimsical garden of flowers. Let's have fun! I deliberately chose not to include any background color so that it would be easier to paint. Use any watercolor paints, brushes, and fine liners you have on hand. Watercolor paper is a must, but again, do not worry if it is just student-grade paper. Your results will be different from mine, and that is OK. You can use different colors, shapes, and techniques if you choose to. Enjoy and have fun! Those are affiliate links. If you make a purchase aft...
