It's 10pm at night. My new habit is to stream a little each day to get familiar with OBS and Twitch.
The bigger goal is to practice the skills of putting myself out there and be available as a communicator to the world. I have minor skills and sometimes enthusiasm. Sitting at home they're not doing any good. It's time to put them into the world.
The future, I believe, is everybody finding what they're interested in and finding a way to earn money doing it. The internet will play a huge role in helping you connect to your people and opportunities
In the past, one might try to find a job close to home doing something they could tolerate to earn enough to pay the bills. Maybe they were trained in a trade, craft, or profession enabled them to earn a decent living doing something meaningful. That is changing.
Now there's YouTube.
Twitch thought not as popular as YouTube, is a video streaming platform popularized by gamers. People literally make money broadcasting video of themselves and their screen as they play games. The channels are expanding. Some people are just broadcasting themselves chatting. People tune in and watch. People subscribe and pay money.
What is going on?
If people are already making a living playing games and chatting - what else might people love to do that others would enjoy paying to participate in? There are cooking shows and educational videos and sex workers providing services -- all online.
This is the future. This is now.

Some institutions struggle to part ways with values created from the industrial revolution (the 8-5, productivity being directly proportional to time spent at a desk, etc) - the future & our ability to thrive in it depends on doing away with these antiquated concepts.
I think what you would be good at is driving with people. LIke let's say I'm programming Adagia, then you can drive with me and the video is just me showing how to implement a feature on Adagia while you grill me with questions and your take on them. I'd love to do that with you btw.
