    Consistency is hard. And I know it's not easy. I have a strong tendency to be forgetful and a bit lazy. Even when I try to stay committed, there are a bunch of real life distractions and problems I have to deal with- particularly, in my own head.

    Any ideas on how to be better at what I'm doing?

    for the forgetful part write everything down. Make a daily planner for yourself and set up your phone with reminders. Plan and prioritize your daily activities and if unable to balance multi-tasking then don't do it. For the lazy part that's more difficult. If your body gets too much or too little sleep you will feel it thru out the day. Maybe adjust how you sleep and set a time to prepare for sleep. I'm currently inbetween jobs and still have a schedule, I wake up around the same time and go to bed around the same time. Humans need a steady routine or we feel out of place. Hope this helps.

    I know that's what I needed to do. I just didn't want to do it. But it looks if I want to get ahead in life, I have no choice.

    Oh, well. Just gotta do it.

    Hey!

    I have taken a look at your channel and found some things you could improve.

    To begin with your upload schedule, in your about section you mention 3 times a week but when looking at your video's i don't see that schedule coming back. Besides that use your about section to tell something about your channel, what makes you unique?

    Second, your video description is on the short side, use this to tell some information about your video's. Note that this is also a good thing to use in your playlists. Use your playlist description to tell something about the content of that playlist.

    Third, not all your video's have custom thumbnails so i would adjust that a bit.

    Hope it helps and game on ;)

    I said in a recent channel update that my upload schedule would be effective immediately next month. I set up the about page to be ready for that.
    Thumbnails: Understandable.........but for some of them it's just a lot of work. And it would help distinguish which videos are more- how shall I say- important? The main attractions? I don't know.

    Moreover, the quality of the videos aren't great (particularly for Tekken 7; understandably so, but still). If people saw a high-quality thumbnail and saw that the video was the complete opposite, I think people might feel betrayed and click away IMMEDIATELY. Well, maybe not that far. But you get the idea.

    Getting into a routine is one of the ways that has helped me, once you settle into it (which may take a few weeks) you may find it easier to maintain that consistency.

    A good thumbnail is just as important as having good content in the video, they are not mutually exclusive and both play a part in not only getting you more views but also longer watch time which is the key to getting your videos ranked higher on YouTube. Usually, if your video has something interesting or exciting then you can use a screenshot of that and superimpose text on the bottom with information such as video title, episode number, etc.
