So I am always thinking about things I want to do, not massive things just projects

Currently I want to do the following in the next 4 Years

Make a short 8 to 10 minute horror film

Make a New Years special YouTube Video where I review the whole year

Make a audio Commentary where I talk over the original Night of the Living Dead

None of these are that big and most people would think there silly but what about everyone else ?

TBH my main ambition is to recover from this injury and return to running. I want to get back to competing and hit some of those times I was doing last year I was starting to place higher in races.

Other than that I just want to enjoy my life, go and visit places, holidays, eat out just make the most of life.

100k subs on YouTube, the only reason is so I can get one of those play button plaques to put on the wall.

Make a simple, single button game (like flappy bird for example), I reckon I'd be able to do the programming side of it (I have a little experience of programming visual basic) but I would have difficulty with the art and audio stuff as I have almost zero artistic ability.

I would love to climb up Mont Blanc, I feel like that would be a real achievement and something I could look back on with pride. Maybe one day.

Maybe you could get an artistic partner? Lots of people have creative desires but cant cover all the sides of it themselves so maybe thats something to consider :)

Your doing better than me on YouTube so giving advice seems a bit silly but have you tried putting short vids up at different times during the day, and or trying TikTok as well?

I do vary my shorts uploads, it usually depends on when i get time to do them.

I can't do tiktok as well though, i'm already stretched as it is and adding another platform would be pushing things a bit too far.

Still, my giveaway prize draws help, especially with gaining overseas viewers as they like that the prizes i now give away are items unique to the UK (such as royal merch and london souvenirs). The last one had a prize of a pair of london socks, and they were sent to a winner in Bangladesh.

I do find TikTok extra work but it kind of helps with the motivation as sometimes a video that doesnt do well on YouTube does on TikTok and then it doesnt feel like I have wasted my time lol

Sounds like you have some good strategies that are helping

None of these are silly, they are all good fun and perfectly achievable. If anyone tells you otherwise, tell them to strawberry float off.

Mine is to release an album. I fear it'll just be a real life version of this though:

Well I am sure you could do the album, I might call on you if I need a song for the end of my short horror or something. :)
