ZAEVIS's video: How to stop procrastinating Combat Youtuber Writer s Block

So in front of me this enormous wall that I don’t know how to get past. I don’t know what to film! Should I film something funny? Or maybe something useful? Do you ever feel frustrated when you want to film a new video? Where to start,  How to choose a topic, what to say. Is this a mental block or what?   Watch this video until the end if you have writer's block or not sure what videos to film for your YouTube channel.   “I am stuck and don’t know what to write or film about.” “I can’t decide what my audience is going to like.” “I am trying to talk to someone who is not even there, it's just hard to talk that way.” “I know I can laugh, I can tell funny stories. I can educate, or answer some questions and be helpful to others! But I just don’t know where to begin.”   Guys, how do we solve this on YouTube?   Let's start. While I am writing and recording this I am trying to answer this very question myself!   1. first, I’m not focused internally. I should bring my focus inside. Where I am, what I am trying to achieve. I only know that I have that goal and desire to produce,  write,  film, and share. Put something out there. And hopefully someday somehow at least 1 person can join a conversation with me here on YouTube. I know I would love to collaborate with people. And make friends. Ok that's clear now. 2.  How does it feel to change where you live and learn a new language? you don’t have new friends yet in the new country, and your old friends are already in the past, interested in other things, so you can’t talk to them anymore. I have changed my place of living multiple times. I’ve moved from one city in Siberia, Russia to Russia's capital, Moscow. And now I live in Los Angeles. Moving makes finding a stable foundation really difficult. 1. I am going through my own challenges of adaptation in the new life and now it seems like I am gaining friends and voice in the local life. However, I can’t do Russian speaking videos anymore. I am not interested in Russian topics, only English speaking YouTube. So in front of me this enormous wall that I really don’t know how to get past. Who am I? What is my goal and purpose on YouTube? Why should I film? Do others need it? I am definitely in the search of those answers. Right now as I say it to you, I feel better, because I can word my thoughts and feelings. I guess this is the hard part of life, we will not know the answer until we try to do it until we write or film something. To put the pen on the paper. Or in this case...fingers to keyboard? 3. I understand all blocks are in my head. Everything is inside of my head. My problem is that I don’t want to film in Russian. I realize I like the challenge of filming and speaking in English. Probably the solution for that will be - as long as I love that challenge, continue pushing yourself.   The truth is - No one really cares. What I would love to do is to hang out with people in different places and different cities, and even talk to people online and have streams together, that’s great. 4. One day, I would love to have the biggest zoom call event. That would be fun. Watching all the people hang out together. And see 1000-100k people in one zoom call that would be crazy. I am interested: how many people can be there on zoom at one time? Comment below if you think you know the answer! 5. I know this block is just the symptom of something bigger. Something is going on in my head that is getting in the way. Maybe I doubt my YouTube channel, but it could also be something completely disconnected from that - some issue in my personal life that is keeping my brain distracted. I don't know depression, stress, self-doubt, guilt, fear. Maybe the video topic itself is leading to an issue I am dealing with and I subconsciously don’t want to face it in my videos either. 6. I heard that YouTube actually can be a coping mechanism to distract from real-life issues, but those issues can come back and bite your ass. Clearing them up or admitting they are issues that you will deal with - some kind of plan - can clear a path for your mental space to film. 7. Or, you know, maybe I just need to remind myself why I wanted to film for YouTube, to begin with? There’s also the possibility that I’ve been pushing myself, my channel, in a direction that my heart doesn’t feel is correct. 8. I hear some writers advise people to rewatch or re-read the source material When they write something new. Other times they advise them to re-read their story or outline. I saw advice on film topics you for sure would love to have on your channel. And just focus on those. Rather than worrying about the future product, stay focused on the present moment. What comes next?
