Why I Only Posted 8 Videos in 2025 (and My Plans for 2026)

Описание: In this video, I’m opening up about why I only posted eight videos in 2025, and what that taught me about content creation, mental health, and what really matters. I’m also sharing my ambitious reading plans for 2026, including a Classical Tour through foundational works of Western literature, a deep dive into some Shakespeare, continuing my Discworld journey, and more. Plus, I have some really exciting personal news to share that’s going to transform everything this year.

If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been or what’s next for this channel, this video is for you. Let’s talk about consistency vs. constant posting, the pressure of the algorithm, what it means to create content that actually matters, and what we’re reading this year.
