I often watch you tube and get a lot of knowlege and entertainment from it but I realize there must be a balance. To be productive I started to decrease watching time and force myself to produce content instead. I made several recordings of whatever I could like pets and bugs just to practice posting and editing videos. I watch realestate videos then take the same amount of time to organize my portfolio using the techniques I just learned. Even if it is just organizing my own house and inventory making it digital so it is all easy to access. Finding important documents and storing them where I can find them quickly. I watch self defense videos then go to the shooting range when I can. It is great to have so much content and free knowlege but the ones who use it will get ahead. Forget parties and expensive meals. That can all come later. I challenge everyone to make a goal of watching then creating about a 50/50 ratio to make sure you are getting to put to use what you enjoy seeing. Some of the best creators started out with noone caring or knowing them and it took years of practicing and becoming expert in a field before they can gain respect.
