Do You Ever Feel Burnt Out?

I feel burnout. For the past two weeks I've been posting every single day and its a lot of work but once you get ahead of yourself its not bad. You just have to figure out a schedule that works. Its not easy in the slightest, I have trouble trying to figure out things to do every day. But I'm dedicated to doing it and I know if I work hard and keep improving I'll continue growing.
 
I tend to feel burnt out when I am thinking about putting together a video, but I love the process of filming and editing, so it's more that dread one can feel on a Monday morning before work. I just love creating new videos, and I have a very simple style of videos I make (the cooking videos have the most edits, and even those aren't terribly many), so that may be the key.

Find out why you're making content, beyond gaining an audience. I know that can sound counter-intuitive, but if all you're trying to do is gain subscribers/views, then that may be the source of it. If this isn't something that you enjoy outside of the gains you make in your analytics screens, it can be very difficult to keep at it.
 
I kinda feel burnt out right now, I don't feel like I am making much progress. But normally what motivates me again is watching other youtubers, or having my fiance cheer me up with some words of motivation.
 
Getting burnt out vlogging happens like once a month for me, it's like every upload is a drop in the bucket. but I love making videos and keep pushing towards my goal.
 
It happens to me often, and I have learned to see the signs and just take a step back. It is completely normal, and if it is your hobby you are 100% allowed to take that step back. If it's your job you are putting your livelyhood into jeopardy. (that is why it might be smart to have content out in advanced for the time that you need to take off in the future).
 
Every second day LOL, especially when you compare yourself to other channels, I find that to be a real killer haha. A lot of the times it usually is promoting yourself that is the thing that is stopping you from getting that publicity. There are so many channels started each day you gotta go soooo hard when it comes to promotion to get recognised.

That's good to hear that you are still pushing on and putting in the effort man. I find that motivation and drive for what you love is like a pendulum, it will swing back in the other direction soon enough and you just gotta stick true to your chosen path.
