Quite surprised about this myself. Initially I thought it would be quite nerve-wracking to be in front of a camera, maybe from past experience, but this feels a little bit easier. It's also maybe the fact that no one was watching. Had my first follower today, totally missed the chat because I wasn't expecting it at all. That was nice too. I gotta add the chat to the stream output.
The bonus is that it's a sure way of working on my side quests regularly. I've been trying to stream for at least an hour daily. It's been a bit of a challenge since I'm completely lost when it comes to writing a display driver. I've got a few things to fix, but I'm still able to spend at least an hour trying to make progress.
4am club?
I've been waking up at four for the last few days so that I can stream around 5. It feels like a nice time to stream, and plus I can carry on with the rest of my day as usual. I did not want to miss my workout time, so 4 was the latest I could wake up and still get stuff done. The crazy thing is that by 0800 I've got so much done that it feels quite unreal. I might change it to 0500 later but for now, I'm actually liking this. Plus, lately I've been feeling like I'm leaving a lot on the table. After reflecting on my time spent, I find that after about 1900 I don't really do anything, and in the morning I find it quite easy to focus and get stuff done. Plus, I'm at an advantage because I've got no one else to care for, so I can organize my day around getting shit done. For the longest time I thought this was a disadvantage, but this is my deck of cards. I'm going to play it for as long as I have it.
The goal for now is to stream on a regular basis, I'll make improvements as time goes on but for now I guess I'm happy with the progress that I'm making.
