 What is up guys karma medic here and welcome back to another dose I hope you've all been well and are having a great start to the year 2021 I know this video has a pretty juicy title a bittersweet title And I'm sure you all want to know why it is that I'm gonna take a break So I'll get straight to the point the bottom line is it's been tough the last couple months of 2020 I found myself having some difficulties sticking to this upload schedule of once per week and also balancing medical school other Aspects of my life friends family my girlfriend exercise and just having fun That's why in the last couple of weeks you've seen the upload videos that were actually recorded quite some time ago For example the Dartford vlog and the Q&A those were both recorded about a month a month and a half before I actually uploaded them I still managed to stick to my schedule of one video per week because I told myself that I was going to but I'd be lying If I said that it wasn't pretty difficult I know a lot of you guys think I'm like this productivity machine that doesn't experience the emotion of stress And it's just constantly on the run and going which is partially true, but at the same time under this robotic shell I'm a human and I can get overwhelmed just like anybody else in my fourth year of medical school I've been finding that the hours demanded by my program are going up and up and up And since medical school is a non-negotiable in my life in my list of life priorities medical school falls in exactly position number one I have to continue doing it Which means that time that I've dedicated to other aspects of my life is slowly getting eaten into so I did some Reflecting over the Christmas holidays when I was with my family in Jordan quick side note You guys have really seemed to enjoy that video I've read every single comment and I genuinely appreciate that feedback so much So anyways, I did some reflecting and I've decided that this is what I'm gonna do now I'm not gonna stop making YouTube videos because I absolutely love making YouTube videos In fact right after I record this one. I'm gonna record another one because I'm excited. I'm motivated and I'm ready to do it I'm just not gonna upload it right now What I feel like I need a break from is this stainless steel concrete obsidian posting schedule that I've made for myself of posting One video a week every single week on Thursday in the next couple of weeks my medical school exams assignments and commitments are gonna Be increasing in a fashion that looks exactly like this and so I'm gonna have my hands full I figure it's as good of a time as ever to take a break. You can expect to see a study with me video at some point Just not my regular posting schedule. I'm not sure how long I'll be gone for probably just a couple of weeks So nothing too major but since I've told you that I'm gonna be uploading every single week on a Thursday And I want to deviate from that schedule I want to be sure to update you guys on top of that every single one of you watching is kind of like an extension of my social life My friends and my family people who I interact with on a daily and weekly basis And so if I make a decision like this, I definitely want to share it with you I'm still gonna be active on my Instagram page So make sure you guys follow me over there in order to stay updated and I'm starting plenty of new projects in 2021 you guys might have already noticed a couple of them in this video if you've been paying attention So don't worry. I'm not going anywhere. I'm just gonna take a quick break skirt and then I'll be right back I just need to give myself and also scrubs Where is he scrubs a mental break so I can continue to do this for the long haul There's no point in me pushing myself endlessly or to the point of burnout where I don't find this fun anymore The whole reason that I've had so much success on this YouTube channel is because I genuinely really enjoy it I have so much fun recording editing scripting these videos and uploading them every single week And so I want to change those things in exactly no ways at all. All right That's definitely everything I want to say and I think everything from scrubs as well So I'm gonna sign out and I will catch you guys in a bit if you have any comments or feedback video ideas Or just anything that you want to say at all. Let me know in a comment down below and I will catch you in the next one. Peace
