Hey, this is Leo for actualized.org, and I want to talk about New Year's resolutions a little bit.

Ah yes, New Year's resolution time.

What a wonderful and crazy time it is, right? What I want to say about news resolutions is this and I've

already set one in fact I've said a whole list and I hope that you're

setting more than one news resolution I hope you're setting a list of many many many I probably have

Oh at least 40 things that I'm working on this year

But the one that I really decided to make my official New Year's resolution was that I wanted to shoot one video every day in 2014.

That's 365 videos. Quite a lot of videos. Quite a big commitment. And I knew that it was

ridiculously ambitious when I said it. I made that on purpose. I actually said that you know there's no way in

hell that I'm going to make that work but why don't I try to pull it off? So I just

said something ridiculously ambitious, not even realistic. And you know what? It was interesting because up until yesterday last night I stayed with it and that's about two weeks. I did about two weeks of shooting a new video every day.

In fact what I did

is I had a notion that I would not be able to shoot a video literally every day

because something would come up and one day I would not be able to shoot a video.

So then I kind of adjusted I was kind of adjusting it in the middle of the process. I was saying, well, if I just make one video per day, so total 365, but that doesn't mean I'll shoot one exactly every day. So I'll shoot two today and then I'll skip

tomorrow and then I'll shoot one the other the next day so overall I would get that quantity of

videos and that seemed a lot more realistic because frankly it's not very convenient to

shoot a video every single day just the setup of putting on the microphone and getting the

camera out getting the lighting doing the editing doing all this stuff getting myself

into the mental frame that I need to be to shoot a good video that all takes like

prep work to do that and it's much easier when I shoot one

than just shoot one back to back, back to back, back to back.
