What I realized when I, as a blogger, started raising my children and also started youtubing.

Start youtube.

As those of you who have been following our blog for some time may have noticed...Since the beginning of August, I have been updating my blog much less frequently.I used to update almost every day, but since the beginning of August, I have been updating every other day, or sometimes not for two days.

Also, previously, the article's publication time was "6:00 AMI had been trying to make it to the "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," but even the time was mixed.

Why is that...

This, too, as readers may have noticed.Because my attention was completely on the video (youtube).(Explosion). But now that we are in September, "I'll work on the video as I get back on my axis and back to blogging.I am thinking of going in the direction of "I'm not going to be able to do that.

Parenting and Video Creation

In July, I decided that I would debut as a youtuber in the near future. I mentioned a little about how that came about in my previous article, "I have a clear image in my mind of the car video I would like to make.It was a "good thing. After that, I immediately started to make a video, but this was already an unimaginably time-consuming task.

The first video I gave you.(only 7 minutes)The time spent making theA whopping 50 hours!After the second video, I became familiar with the operation of video editing software and was able to create a video in less time than the first one, but it still took three days to create one video.

The video editing itself was very interesting and deep, and I found myself working on it for hours, but since I was working at home with earphones in, it was difficult to balance it with my children...

While I was concentrating on my work, children suddenly came to remove their earphones, fights started beside me, and "Mom, I'm pooping!He would say, "Mom, I spilled juice!And then they come to report to me in their soaking wet clothes saying, "I'm soaking wet..." (-_-)w

I work more intensively on videos than I do on blogs.It's very stressful to be interrupted when you're in the groove.It was. I think it took extra time because after soothing the children, I had to switch my mind and begin the process of restoring my broken concentration.

Then, we took the time to upload what we had created, but since we had few channel subscribers and the number and quality of the videos themselves were not quite there yet, they were only viewed about 1,000 times.(In the midst of all this, I would like to thank everyone who subscribed to my channel and watched my videos.Thank you all!)

I honestly felt, "Hmmm, all this work and this number of views...I still have a long way to go..." Well, that's to be expected. Well, that's to be expected.

In the meantime, I have a personality that can't do this or that.Make a video!I was so focused on the video that I told my husband, "I've got one thing to do.

No, so why can't you do both "blog" and "video" in a well-balanced way? Why can't you do only one thing each time, Mina-chan?

They laughed at me, but it was inevitable because it has always been my nature. Sometimes I hear people say on TV that women areBrain capable of performing multiple tasks at onceI hear, "It's getting to be aThat's an absolute lie!I am the one who is making a quip to myself, "I'm not a good person.

Positioning of Blogs and Videos

As such, August was completely focused on video, and September arrived. And then the other day.Reflecting back with my husband on the month of August, "blogging" and "video creation".After much thought and consideration, I decided to go with "I'll work on the video as I get back on my axis and back to blogging.I decided to "go for it.

Blogs and videos are the same in the sense of "sending something out into the world," but when I sorted them out, I realized that they have very different meanings in my mind.

Blog] = Introspection: Transmitting my (and my husband's) ideas, values, and car life, including my own views on life.
Video] = CreativeThe car's charm and splendor will be communicated to the fullest extent using one's own sensibilities.

And so on.The brain location used for blogs and videos is totally different.I think.

And in my mind, "Work to face oneself through writing, dig deep, organize one's mind, and outputI realized that "the "Mere Old Man" is extremely important. Of course, there are many people who transmit their own ideas through videos, but I don't do videos that way now.

That doesn't mean I'm going to stop doing videos, but "using my brain, which I don't use for blogging, has stimulated my creative side and made me gather information in a different way than I used to.If you can do both blogging and video, you can expand your world.I was able to realize that

So, although it will be less frequent, I would like to continue to make and post videos when I have enough material and time. Therefore, I will continue to make and post videos when I have enough material and time, even if it will be less frequent.

I'll be updating my blog more often from now on!

."You said that before, but you collapsed from blogging too much, didn't you, Mina-san!I am finally starting to listen to my body.

I can now take a little nap or dawdle when I feel, "This is too much, I'm tired," or "I'm getting a headache." Also, when I feel like "Autonomic Nervous System, Health, DietI've started doing yoga every morning for the "Mere Old Man" and it seems to be working really well!(Not skinny at all.)

So I won't be too gung-ho and unaware of my body's voice like I was before... I think w

I have realized and gained a lot by trying out the video this time, and I will continue to try out different ways to do things better and do my best until the day comes when I can buy a Porsche in the future. Keep up the good work!

    I have my own Minkara page, but I can only upload at most 2 to 3 articles a month, so I always wonder if I can upload articles from various viewpoints and ways of perceiving things like Mina does.

    Since YouTube is also all about cutting and pasting fixed-vehicle footage, I long to see how they are able to shoot such diverse material and edit it so beautifully.

    I am very much looking forward to both your blog and YouTube, so as a fan I will be very happy if you can continue at your own pace.
