This TikTok has a really good visual representation of a million versus a billion dollars, which is especially relevant now that people are trying to compare Bernie’s $2.5 million to Bloomberg’s $64 billion

Well just checking my SD card for the raw footage of my video about rice to post on YouTube and my camera cuts off after 30 minutes, so I have two 30 minute clips of me counting but not the full thing :( RIP

Another Thumbnail Test Result:
- More money = not necessarily better, feels more cluttered. Having more empty space actually won here
- Yellow text beat Red text... perhaps Red has a negative connotation? The yellow text was hard to read, as well. So that's surprising.

- Yellow > green text on the savings video
- Test on a brand new video only lasted 1 hours (probably because it got enough impressions to be stat. significant), other test = 24h+

3 Days into Shorts Monetization:
1 Long Form View = 250 Shorts Views
I get $15 RPM Long Form, vs $0.06 RPM Short Form.
That means getting 10,000 long views is the equivalent of 2.5M views on Shorts based on monetization only.
This will vary based on your RPM.

How often do we feel rushed in life to get our laundry list of tasks accomplished?
Practice mindfulness and results will come.
Stay consistent and when you get traction, keep building upon said traction.
Good things will come.

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got:
It told me to go slow to go fast
I think that applies to everything in life
We live as though there aren't enough hours in the day but if we do each thing calmly and carefully
we will get it done quicker and with much less stress
