   constantly afraid I’ll run out of ideas for videos while also overwhelmed at all the possible ideas

     it’s like when you go on Netflix, and there’s everything, so you’re like “there’s nothing”

     @shonalika FWIW whenever I get out of those feelings and start looking at, like, the past year or two (or five), I usually start seeing all the various things I've Done(tm) somehow without really noticing, or the use that I've put that "useless" research" to.

     there are so many possibilities with so many sub-possibilities that choosing and diving into one is scary in case it doesn’t work out and then all that time and energy’s gone into researching the Wrong thing when actually you should have been researching the Right thing

     except you can’t make that judgement until you’ve researched and by then it’s too late

     @pettter I want to get into a mindset of no research being “useless”, look at literally anything that interests me for a week or two, and see if a video unfolds naturally from that, rather than the approach of “I need to make a video in x weeks choose topic-research-GO”

     don’t know if/how well this will work yet, and it’s very difficult not to default to value-judgement thinking. but need SOME sort of method that’s healthier and more sustainable than previous so doing my best ?
