All my goals,from

I tend to jump around a lot but I set goals to help me align actions and momentum. I have been able to create systems to help me scale effort across mediums which unlocks new goals and opportunities. Goals will either be paused or included in the monthly update which is included in the activity feed.

Publish videos on my YouTube channel, MykDoesStuff and Love.irish

Created 2025-01-01

I started a couple channels under MykDoesStuff and Love.irish where I posted videos about things I was working on. I took a break to focus on work and learn since recording the videos as well as learning was a lot for me since this is all new. I like twitch so the idea is to do most of the videos live and edit them afterwards.

Start streaming on Twitch

Created 2025-01-01

Part of the problem with the channel last time was recording the video & audio plus editing took enough time that it was hard to do that and actually learn things that I would make videos about. This time I am using the approach that tech streamers like Theo & ThePrimeagen use where they stream their content and then edit the recordings twitch provides afterwards. I am going to start streaming on Twitch for MykDoesStuff where I'll be sharing what I learn or am working on to inspire others to work on projects of their own.
