7 Lessons From 2022

This video is divided in three chapters. On the first one, I talk about the three tech-related changes I have made that have made me more productive. On the second, I touch upon two things that starting this channel has taught me. Namely, I explain why I believe that quantity trumps quality when you are starting to learn a new skill and why you should never ever stop momentum. In part C I talk about how to solve a common problem that many writers have and about an issue I still have when writing my scripts for the channel.
