00:00I run over 10 YouTube channels when I'm posting videos every single day and people always ask me

00:04how do I not get burnt out from posting this much? So today I want to kind of talk about

00:09how to avoid

00:10burnout and how I personally use this method to just be able to keep working no matter how stressful

00:15or hard things are. This video can apply to you no matter what you're doing. Could be if you want

00:18to be a YouTuber, could be if you're trying to grind your online business, whatever. You can use

00:23what I'm about to tell you to just avoid burnout so much. So the first thing you have to realize

00:27is

00:27how bad do you want your thing to work out? Is it YouTube, your online business? How bad do you

00:32really want it? And not only this, you have to have a good motive for making it work out. What's

00:37at

00:38stake? Can you pay right next month if you make this work or not? Or if you're someone who's kind

00:42of just

00:42doing it for fun, basically you're going to have less of a reason to do it if there's not high

00:46stakes

00:47and you don't have a strong motive to do it. I mean, think about it. If you're doing YouTube just

00:51for

00:51fun, it doesn't really matter if you fail or not. What's the chance you actually grind and lock in

00:55when you don't have much at stake? You feel me? But if you're just in the mindset like,

00:59oh, I'm not going to be able to pay my rent next month if I don't get a certain amount

01:02of views

01:02or work more than four hours a day, bro, you're going to be grinding like way harder. So why not

01:07just start working that hard right now? And so this idea of just how bad do you want it? A

01:11lot of

01:12people can do a lot more than they realize. It just takes realizing what's at stake. So cool,

01:17whatever. Now you know what's at stake. How do you actually avoid the burnout? Because you can work

01:22all day, but it doesn't really matter if you're just going to quit after a week of doing it every

01:26day, right? And this is where the method I learned comes into play. Ironically, you wouldn't expect

01:30this, but I work harder when I work less hours. How you might be wondering? Well, I've found,

01:37at least for me personally, this could be different for everyone. Oh my gosh. I need a balance of work

01:42life and personal life. So for example, I've tried days where I work 18 hours a day, pretty much the

01:48entire day except sleep. And I do get stuff done. But after doing that for a few days straight,

01:53you get a burnt out. No matter what you're doing, how locked in you are, you can't just do the

01:58same

01:58thing over and over. And so I've realized like other days when I am doing more personal stuff,

02:02like hang out with friends or going to a party and I'm not as locked in, all I'm thinking about

02:06all day

02:07is like, bro, I just want to work on videos. So guess what? When I do get back home, yo,

02:12have a heart.

02:12When I do finally get back home, I just full locked in. I could work for eight hours and not

02:17get burnt

02:18out because in my mind, I'm just like, bro, I haven't been able to work the past day because

02:21I've been just doing IRL stuff. I need to work harder now because I'm just not locked in.

02:26Forcing yourself to get out of your room and stop working for a few hours to have the balance of

02:32not

02:32working makes you realize like when you do get back to working, you just don't want to stop because

02:36you just feel like, oh, I've been wasting so much time not working. And if you don't have this mindset

02:41yet, but not everyone just has this automatically, get used to it. Like if you really want to build

02:45something, you're going to have to figure out how to avoid burnout no matter what, right? And I've

02:49just found in my experience, the easiest way to do that, just spend some time not working. It doesn't

02:53have to be a perfect balance 50-50 of working and not working. It changes depending on events that

02:58come up in your life. Say you go on a vacation for a week. Obviously you're going to have a

03:01lot less

03:02time working, more time personal life. As long as you just have some time to balance out like every so

03:07often. Oh my gosh, yo chill. The balance kind of just sustains itself, but you have to realize like when

03:14you're on a break, as soon as you come back to be working, you have to shift yourself to just

03:19get in the working mindset. Because a lot of people, when they come back from a break,

03:23they're still going to be in the break mindset and not going to want to lock in. So my advice

03:27for

03:28that, as soon as you get home, just say to yourself, all right, break time's over. Had a good run.

03:32But

03:32now this whole time I've been thinking about working more. So I'm going to work now. And being able to

03:36switch that mindset fast, it just comes with knowing how bad you want it, which is why I said that

03:40first

03:41point. Know what's at stake. What's your motive for doing this? Could be buying a new car. Could

03:45be paying your parents' house off or something. But you need a strong motive to be doing this or

03:50you're still going to get burnt out no matter how balanced your work life is. Like I know people

03:54who go out all the time, but as soon as they come home, they're just not as locked in. They

03:58don't

03:59have the drive to just make more videos because they haven't been able to because they don't have a

04:02strong reason to do it. No matter what they do, how much time or balance they spend working,

04:07they're just not going to be as locked in compared to someone who has a strong reason to be working

04:11for. And also another huge point I've learned for not getting burnt out, you got to diversify

04:15what you do. This just comes with like business as well. Being able to do a bunch of different

04:19things and not just one thing. You obviously could do one single thing all day and that be your main

04:25income, but it's honestly going to burn you out a lot faster than if you're doing three different

04:29things every day, right? That are completely different. So for example, I do Minecraft content,

04:33robots content, and coaching stuff to help people get views. That's three completely different areas

04:38of YouTube. So I'm not spending like eight hours every day, just playing Minecraft. That would

04:43probably get boring. Not gonna lie. Even though I like Minecraft, it doesn't matter how much you

04:47like something. If you just do it and that's all you do all day, you're going to get burnt out

04:51of

04:51it no matter what it is. So, oh my gosh, did I just beat a low tier three in sword?

04:55Yo, I'm not that

04:56good. And another point guys, one of my last points here, you have to really enjoy what you're

05:00doing. If you're working on a business, it better be something you actually like personally enjoy

05:05because if it's just something you're doing just for the money, trust me, the money's not going to

05:09come when you're doing something just for the money. You have to have like some enjoyment out

05:14of it to keep going because when you don't get paid for it, guess what? You're just not going to

05:18want to do it anymore because all you want is the money. You don't care about doing it for the

05:22love

05:22of the game. That's why we're doing this channel. I do actually like making these videos.

05:26I do like making the short reactions as well because those are just funny videos to watch,

05:30but you'll notice everything I do aligns with something I actually enjoy doing. Like I like

05:34playing Roblox videos because I haven't really played a different game besides Minecraft for a

05:38while. So that's fun to me. And I love helping people get views on YouTube. That's kind of why

05:42we're making this video right now, as well as why I started my whole mentorship coaching business,

05:47right? And now I'm making the most money I ever have from YouTube and all my income streams

05:51because I enjoy it all. And because I'm actually trying a bunch of different things instead of just

05:58get burnt out. Oh my gosh. Am I good now? Yo, I think talking about life stuff while PVPing helps

06:04low key. But to wrap up my points, basically to avoid burnout, have a good motive to do what you're

06:10doing. Because if you don't have a good reason, there's less chance you actually work hard enough

06:14to do it. Second of all, have a good balance between doing it and also not doing it. If you

06:19do

06:19it all day, you're going to get burnt out no matter what it is. You need time off of working

06:23so that when

06:23you get back to work, you're like, okay, I can finally work. It's actually fun. It's not like a

06:28chore. And then the third big point, you got to enjoy it. Also do a couple different things. Like

06:33don't just do one thing. You could if you really want to, but personally, like doing a couple different

06:37things every day is a lot easier than just one thing the whole day. And if you can do that,

06:41plus

06:41enjoy it, like trust me, you're going to be able to work so much without burning out. Because guess

06:47what? You're not doing work. You're doing something you love. And work goes by so fast and doesn't feel

06:52like a chore when you love doing it. That's why I always tell everybody, you got to follow your

06:56passions, do what you actually want to do. And it just makes life so much better. Yo bro left.

07:01All right. That's the video guys. Hope you enjoyed. Give me ideas for more videos in the comments.

07:05And if you guys are interested to see what I'm doing with YouTube coaching and actually take

07:09YouTube seriously, like look, one of my students already made 20k in the last few months for Minecraft

07:13shorts. I'll leave my channel in the pinned comment. All this stuff here is free, so you don't even have

07:17to pay anything, but check it out. Goodbye.
