From brain dump to short video

A little thought does not always need a twenty-minute video.

I’ve had a YouTube channel since 2006. I’ve vlogged, made videos, and had two podcasts. I like sharing things, but planning and scripting a long video takes a lot out of me.

Lately, I’ve been trying TikTok. A three-minute brain dump is easier for me to turn into thirty to ninety seconds than a full, continuous video that holds someone’s attention.

Sometimes I have one small insight I want to share. I don’t have twenty minutes of thoughts around it, and I don’t want to force that.

Short videos give those little bits and pieces somewhere to go.
