I've already mentioned this, but now I'm going to be radical about it:
I'm going to do my daily videos in a single take.
Two, at most.
In the recent series I did on meditation, I would sometimes redo takes dozens of times because I felt that this or that part wasn't clear enough.
And for meditation, that made sense: I'm talking about things where you need to be precise so you don't mislead people.
But now: no more. It has to be simple. I shouldn't cling to secondary details: if I stutter, if the sound isn't perfect, if I have to correct myself to explain an idea, that'll be just fine.
The goal is for it to be easy. To find the audience that likes this raw, personal, improvised side.
And not attract an audience that likes the very clear and structured side of videos that take me too much time.
It always comes back to the same Arlan Hamilton quote: "Be yourself so the people who love you can find you."
And conversely: don't make unnecessary efforts to attract people who don't love you.
