Hey friends so I've been thinking a lot about productivity this year
because that has been my theme for the year has been planning and I want tobe really productive because with the covet situation in my family, I havethe I spend the morning with my kids and then I work in the afternoon so Iactually only work half days which is awesome, but it also means that Idon't have much time to get stuff done and so I am I just try to be superproductive at the time that I have.And so, I've learned a couple of things about that and one thing that I
want to talk.About specifically is the productivity of like the time you'reactually at work working and something that helped me a lot even before allof this was live streaming. So I've been live streaming my work for a longtime and from the very beginning the the kind of motivation behind my livestreaming wasn't to create content at all.If that had been the motivation then the content that I created would be of
higher quality. But the actual motivation was to keep myself on taskbecause I can get,Distracted pretty easily. And so by live streaming if Iget distracted by Twitter or something, I have to acknowledge what I'mdoing to anybody who's watching.And not always are people watching sometimes nobody tunes into livestream,
which is fine. And this is why I don't actually look and see whetheranybody's watching. So, I don't like I don't always sorry about that. Idon't always interact with the people that are watching the livestream. Ido have a chat.And so sometimes I'll chat but I I don't ever see how many people are
watching live because it doesn't matter. What I'm doing is I'm trying to beproductive and so just the thought that somebody could be watching and andit's actually recorded so people could be watching the future.And that just keeps me on task and I get so much done when I'm live
streaming. So that's something that I would suggest and you don't need abunch of complicated software or anything. I I've used OBS and you get ahigher quality experience there. I have a green screen and everything.But I found that it's just a little more work to set up when like my
purpose isn't the the content or anything. So what I do now is instead is Ijust use zoom and zoom has the ability to live stream and I don't knowwhether that's a paid thing or not.So you may have to look at that, but it doesn't have to be really
complicated. You can get software to do it. The the whole purpose is justlet's make myself believe that people are watching so that I can be reallyproductive and it works really well.So, I'd give that a I recommend thatgive that a shot and see how you feel about live streaming your stuff.You can't always do it, but when you can it's cool. See ya.
