After the episode, the conversation continues in our Lavendaire Lifestyle Facebook group,
so I can't wait to see you there.
Life is an art, make it your masterpiece.
Hi everyone!
It's Aileen.
Welcome back to The Lavendaire Lifestyle.
Today I have a super special guest on the show.
I am stoked.
Her name is Sara Dietschy, and if you don't know who she is, check out her YouTube channel
right now.
Sara Dietschy is a filmmaker and online personality from New York City.
She creates inspiring video content for her self-titled YouTube channel which now has
over 170,000 subscribers.
Sara's passion for the creative community inspires her to create travel vlogs, photo
and video tutorials, documentary shorts (like Creative Spaces TV), and interview series
that aim to explain the where and how behind creative life.
When she's not drinking La Croix or making YouTube videos, she's most likely watching
YouTube videos, just like me.
[1:21] Aileen: Hi Sara!
Sara: Hi guys!
Thank you for having me on!
Aileen: I'm so excited.
And like I was saying earlier, I learned so much from you in terms of editing, color-grading.
Thank you for sharing what you do.
Sara: Of course!
Aileen: Like adjustment layers?
Sara: Yes, that's life-changing.
Life-changing, right?
Aileen: It changed my life!
Oh my goodness.
Sara: It's so fun, because you know I love to do entertaining stuff like vlogs and things,
but it's always so cool to share what other people have taught me and YouTube is such
a good tool for that.
So that means so much that it's helped you!
Aileen: Yeah!
No, seriously, anyone out there who's into video editing, check out Sara Dietschy's channel
because a lot of knowledge there.
So I want to ask you: What got you into filmmaking?
Where does all this knowledge and background come from?
Sara: It starts with embarrassing middle school and high school projects.
I was always a person, whenever the teacher presented the class with a project–maybe
it was specifically to make a video or to write a report–I would always aim it towards,
"How about I make a video?"
And specifically, I made a fair amount of rap music videos, educational rap music videos.
There's still one out there on the internet that actually has so many views.
It's so embarrassing.
But it's basically me rapping to a song that we rewrote.
It's called "The Law of Supply and Demand".
Basically, we made this rap song and we taught about economics and there would always be
a video attached to that.
So I really learned how to edit through school projects, and it was just so fun.
So I didn't really get into filming until after high school.
I never had my own camera equipment.
I used my dad's Canon T3i.
Yeah, it all started with school and just figuring out creative outlets within the public
school system.
Sometimes it was hard but all my teachers were super rad and were always like, "Heck
yeah!
Do it!"
So that was always extremely fun.
So that was kind of my way into it and I played in a band.
I played electric guitar for over ten years.
Aileen: Oh, that's so cool!
I didn't know that.
Sara: Yeah!
Once I started really getting more into music in high school and you know, "We need a music
video.
We need a promo video for our show."
That, alongside of the high school projects, really kind of kicked things off and that's
where I started to find my passion in video.
[3:49] Aileen: I love that!
So did you start your YouTube channel then?
When did YouTube come into the picture?
Sara: My first YouTube video ever was in 2011.
I was a junior in high school and it was about a guitar pedal.
Basically, guitar pedals are just a box that makes your guitar signal either sound fuzzy
or do something special with it.
And I wanted to sell it.
It was kind of a rare pedal.
So I was like, "This YouTube thing.
I feel like, if I made a video, put it on the YouTube, people would see it and someone
will buy this guitar pedal."
So I did that and it was the first time that I realized, "Wow, this internet thing.
There's actually people out there."
Because I automatically got 3,000 hits.
And I was so blown away by that.
I was like, "Okay, I put this in a Craigslist ad and people from the internet are already
finding it organically through YouTube.
What is this about?"
That was kind of my first exposure to this world of online video and the fact that there's
these people on the other side of the screen searching out your content, finding it.
So that was my first YouTube video ever, was just that.
I made some other stuff more centered around music, so really it all started with music
and that's how I really fell in love with video maybe over photography or something,
just because you're putting images to music a lot of the time.
So I think that's where I get, also, more of my video editing style.
It's very around music and editing to music, so it's been a huge part of my life.
Aileen: I love that.
It's funny because I didn't know that.
I didn't tell you, but actually, I started YouTube in high school from music as well.
I was singing, playing piano, doing cover songs and stuff, but that was longer ago.
Sara: I feel like everyone I know–I feel like everyone has this past of having all
these cover music videos somewhere on the internet.
Aileen: Right?
Yeah, it was so much fun and it really taught a lot of people about video and editing and
stuff.
Sara: That's amazing.
[5:45] Aileen: You have Creative Spaces TV, which
is super cool, on your channel.
Can you talk about what made you start that series?
Sara: Creative Spaces TV started out of something that I wanted to watch.
I remember loving MTV Cribs.
I would always watch MTV Cribs, but while watching I was like, "I don't care what's
in their refrigerator.
I want to see what is on their desk.
What are they shooting these things with?
How do they make the music that they make?
If they're musicians, how do they film what they film?"
I was definitely just interested in the spaces, the offices, the tools that creators use to
create.
And I didn't really see anything out there.
And during that time was also–I watched this video.
It was on Gizmodo.
It was a three-part series of a dude by the name of Casey Neistat.
He only had about 150,000 subscribers on YouTube at the time.
And I was watching this Gizmodo studio tour, and I was blown away.
I was like, "Oh my gosh, wait.
Are there more of these?
I want to know more of this.
I want to know how creators create."
And so it kind of came out of those two things: MTV Cribs and seeing that studio tour of a
person who would later actually have a lot of influence in my video career.
I was like, "Wow, if no one's making this, why don't I?"
And I was really looking for a project that would give me more credibility because I was
making travel vlogs and things, but I was always very interested in documentary filmmaking.
But I never had a project that could really prove that I could do it.
And so I saw it as an opportunity to 1) meet amazing, creative people, and 2) just to have
this series that can use as a case to maybe get jobs in video or could just be a good
example of "Look I can do this, and I can use season 1 as something to show bigger and
better creative people that I can get for the next season."
And so on and so forth.
So yeah, I just started it.
I saw it as a way–At the time, I only had 1,000-2,000 subscribers when I first started
Creative Spaces TV.
And I really needed ways to reach beyond my audience.
And making something and providing value to someone else–these people who are interviewing,
they had tons of friends and maybe a little bit of a social following and their family
got hyped on the video I made for them, so it was making something for someone and really
connecting with their spheres of influence.
With every video I made, it was expanding my circle just a little bit more.
And you know, looking back, it did so many epic things for me, not on hindsight.
But it made me a better filmmaker.
It made me a better interneter.
And it made me just a better human.
I met so many awesome people.
Aileen: There's so many good points that I want to pull out of this because 1) I think
you're so smart to do that because yes, it did build your credibility because I, like
many people, found your channel through that "How to Casey Neistat a Vlog," but it was
really the Creative Spaces TV where I'm like, "Whoa.
This girl knows what she's doing.
It looks professional and–" I don't know it's just a smart thing for you to do.
So, other creatives out there, take note and do something like this.
Not the same idea, but create stuff where you can expand your sphere of influence.
That's what you said, right?
Sara: Yeah, thank you.
It's something that really stuck with me, what Casey himself said, after he saw the
video I made about him, he was like, "This 'How to Casey Neistat a Vlog', it's funny,
it's good.
But the backlog of content that she already has on her channel is quality."
So it's not only, I think, if you're doing anything in the social sphere, it's 1) yes,
think about what is the type of content that's gonna put you in front of new faces and new
people.
But then at the same time, you have to make sure that you're making the content that you
really care about and that's gonna keep your audience.
Because yes, you might make a viral something, but if you don't have anything on your channel
or Instagram or whatever that's not gonna keep the people there, then that's pointless.
Aileen: That's such a good tip because everyone's just trying to make viral content, but you
have to make good content too, stuff that you want to watch.
Sara: Yeah, totally.
Aileen: For people out there who don't know: Sara made a viral, super viral video, "How
to Casey Neistat a Vlog" that Casey Neistat saw and talked about.
So it just blew up, right?
Sara: Yeah, yeah, it has like 1.5 million views.
[10:06] Aileen: Yeah!
So how was it to meet him, by the way?
I saw that you met him.
Sara: Yeah, amazing.
That kind of just started a relationship with him very just maybe back-and-forth a little
bit on Twitter.
And then we started going to the same conferences and stuff and were able to develop a relationship
off of the internet, like actually in real life.
And you know, it's so cool to–someone who's one of your heroes to be able to casually
call them your friend.
That's crazy.
And he's just killing it on all accounts at all times.
Still, to this day, it's crazy to have just one of those people that you really look up
to, to say amazing words and validate your work.
It's amazing.
Aileen: I'm curious: Have you learned anything from him?
What's one thing you can share?
Maybe it was something that surprised you or whatever.
Sara: Let's see.
It's not surprising, but something that I think just really hits home with everything
he does, and it's an awesome message that he spreads with every single vlog he makes,
is if you want to get to Point B, if you have that goal in your head, wherever you need
to go in life, what's in between Point A and Point B?
It's the work.
It's the work.
And I think he does such a great job of, through all of the content he makes, he makes it fun
but he also shows that.
Meeting him in real life and having conversations with him, he's not just all talk.
He lives it, he breathes it.
And it's insanely inspiring.
[11:42] Aileen: That's so cool.
So it's about the work.
The actual work you put in.
So you upload quite frequently.
I think you upload daily, right?
Sara: Yes.
I upload every weekday, so five uploads a week, Monday through Friday.
I try to hit that 8:00 PM EST.
It's more for me, so I don't wait until midnight to post it.
But yeah, five days a week.
Aileen: I'm curious.
How do you balance that?
What's your schedule like?
Do you feel like you're always chasing that 8:00 PM time, like you're stressed out 7:00
PM?
Sara: Yes, yes.
I'm a very last minute person.
It's funny you're asking me this because this week is the first week that I actually took
time on the weekend.
I filmed a little bit ahead, because pretty much ever since high school, college, I was
the same with schoolwork.
I was always a very last-minute worker.
But because of that, that's why I kind of wanted to push my limits a little bit more
with five uploads instead of Monday-Wednesday-Friday that I was doing previously.
Because I find, when I just fill all of my time or most of my time with work, that really
pushes out the time that I would to procrastinate.
I found that it doesn't change a lot from uploading more videos because now, just that
time that maybe I'd be watching two Netflix shows or something, I'm just editing another
video.
It's not necessarily I upped my work, so it's not necessarily degrading my quality of life.
It's just fitting in more work.
I feel like there's always room to maybe be less on Twitter or less on Instagram.
The value that I'm getting from posting more and having more opportunities to see my stuff,
I've found, is so worth it.
But yeah, it's an ever-evolving process.
I never have things truly figured out.
But I think the goal, always, is to be able to be ahead a little bit.
And I'm working towards that slowly.
Aileen: No, that's good!
I think that's already–you're doing really well already, five videos a week, because
I would run out of ideas on like what to vlog, you know, because I'm just at home.
So I don't know how you do it.
Sara: Where are you based out of?
Aileen: I'm in LA.
Sara: Oh, awesome.
Aileen: A little outside of LA, but West coast.
Sara: [inaudible]
Aileen: Yeah!
Whenever you're back, definitely.
Sara: I'll hit you up, girl.
We'll hang out.
Let's take a break, because I want to tell you about BetterHelp.

Alright – back to the podcast.
[14:49] Aileen: Okay, so I also wrote down this question,
but you might have answered it.
But maybe you have something else you want to say.
What would you say is the most challenging part of what you do?
Sara: The most challenging part is probably the most rewarding part, and it is the feedback.
It's the best thing in the world because I've been able to develop this amazing community,
internet community of Peachy fans and they're amazing.
It's a ton of creative, next-level human beings who are trying to achieve their dreams and
who are doing it right alongside me.
So every single day, I get to have encouraging conversations with people who watch my stuff
and it's amazing.
But it's also the most challenging thing because it's the internet, and you're not always gonna
have–It's not always gonna be rainbows and butterflies.
So dealing with just that little bit of hate, one negative comment can completely wreck
a hundred positive comments if you let it.
So that's something, especially, that I've been kind of having to push through.
And it has been a big challenge recently as I'm making stuff that's growing my channel
and I've kind of hit a pace where I'm growing at a good pace, and my stuff is being served
up in the YouTube algorithm and things.
But with that comes people who maybe aren't aware of where I've come from, what my story
is, what I've been doing on YouTube for the past four years.
So they kind of just get this screenshot of the video that they watch, and they will leave
a nasty comment or something.
And as much as I deflect those things, there's still one or two that always get under your
skin.
Every day, it's kind of a–It has to be a conscious decision of "Okay, you looked through
the comments.
Cool.
That's a part of your job.
Don't dwell on it."
And it's something that's so easy–You talk to other people who maybe don't have an internet
job and the answer is the same every time and it's "Just don't focus on it.
They don't matter.
Just ignore it.
Ignore it, ignore it, ignore it."
And that's true.
That is the best thing to do.
But at the same time, it's so annoying to hear because they don't, at all, understand
what it feels like.
So yeah, that's something definitely that is a challenge every single day.
But every single time I do choose to focus on the positivity, it's the best thing ever.
When you're in the moment, you want to hit back at people.
You want to have these little hissy fits online.
But every time that I chose to just breathe and maybe focus on a positive comment that
someone has left, it's the hardest thing in the world.
But it truly is the best thing you can do.
But that will always be a challenge.
I think, if you create content online, if you create any type of art, you will have
to butt heads with those people who oftentimes don't have a clue what it's like to create.
Aileen: Exactly.
Sara: Because those are usually the haters.
You just gotta move on.
Aileen: Because those people, they don't know you.
They're just browsing by.
I can totally relate because this happens.
If you have a video that is more popular, you just get a lot of strangers coming by
on your channel and–The way I think about it is like, "These people, they're here and
then they're gone.
They don't know me.
I don't know them.
Whatever."
I try to brush it off, but … It's true, because some can hurt you deep.
It just depends on what they say.
Sara: 100%.
Sometimes there's the trolls and you can just ignore it because they're trolls.
But then other times, they really hit home on things that are just … It's hard.
Aileen: You know what?
I think it's the times when you feel like there's a little truth in what they say, and
then you're like, "Oh shit, am I really like that?"
And you question yourself.
Yeah, it's the insecurities that you have to learn to work through.
Sara: 100%.
[18:38] Aileen: Let's talk about your future.
I'm so excited.
What are you planning ahead for your channel, for your life?
What do you want to do?
Sara: Big question!
Aileen: Yeah!
I'm wondering!
Where are you gonna take Sara Dietschy?
Sara: So I definitely still see myself in New York City for a good amount of time.
I love the city so much.
And I'm always going to be so passionate about YouTube, and that will forever be my main
source of content creation.
But there's definitely things that I'm really looking forward to.
One little thing is: I recently went to Cuba.
I came back with enough stuff to actually form my first documentary that's gonna be
like 50 minutes, which I'm really excited about.
I've done a lot of documentary filmmaking but it's always been these 15- to 20-minute
short docuseries things.
So I think that's a super exciting challenge for me to make something.
At the beginning, I was like, "Okay, documentaries are maybe like 90 minutes."
But I can't even sit down and watch something an hour and a half, so I'm like, "You know
what?
Challenge accepted.
I'm gonna make an entertaining 45-minute video."
So I'm really excited about that.
And seeing just how I can take some of my creative concepts and shows to different platforms,
I think, I don't know what that means yet, but just collaborating with the right people
to really scale what I've done on my YouTube channel.
Taking those concepts from Creative Spaces TV, and also just kind of my life in New York
City vlogging, and merging those worlds and potentially making it into something that
involves actual people outside of me, to where I can be filmed interacting with these different
creators and showing you their journey, showing you their space.
Do that in a way that helps me maybe gain a different audience and a bigger audience
that's maybe somewhere not on YouTube.
That definitely excites me and something that I'm pursuing full-force this next year.
And there's just a lot–I feel like every single week I'm meeting someone so talented
and new into my life who's doing something creative.
Just collaborations ahead.
It's an exciting time.
It's fun.
Aileen: That sounds super exciting.
Documentary filmmaking on a bigger level outside of YouTube, which is cool because what you're
doing now, vlogging is basically documenting your life, right?
Sara: Exactly, exactly.
[21:12] Aileen: That's super cool.
So last question: Do you have any advice for young, aspiring filmmakers or vloggers out
there?
Sara: This is something that I say so much so it might be getting old.
But it's something I so truly believe is just when in doubt, keep creating.
Keep creating.
Keep pushing through those barriers because every time that I've made a huge breakthrough
in the creative space I'm in, directly on the other side of that was just chaos, utter
chaos.
So many reasons that I shouldn't be making that video, so many reasons I shouldn't be
going to this networking party or something, so many reasons to not meet with that person.
But once I do and once I actually put in the work and recognize what my priorities are
and just go full steam ahead, once you're on the other side and you see the results
of you just putting your head down and working, it is so, so worth it.
Yeah, you can be creative with any job and oftentimes you're gonna have doubts.
You're gonna have doubts about your own talent.
You're gonna have doubts that come from other people's opinions on your work and the goal
is not to dwell on it but to just keep pressing on.
Do not bail before that breakthrough.
It can be so close and you don't even know it until you hit it, and then once you're
on the other side, you're like, "Oh wow.
I'm so glad that happened."
The video that changed my life that we talked about earlier, "How to Casey Neistat a Vlog",
I was so insecure about that video.
I almost didn't post it because of what I thought I looked like on the intro of that
video.
And I'm so glad I posted it, obviously.
Aileen: Me too!
Sara: And so I think it's just little insecurities, little challenges you have to take one step
at a time and just keep moving forward.
You just gotta keep pressing on because it's the only thing you can do.
Aileen: Create, create, and put your work out there even if it's not perfect, right?
Even if you don't feel great about it.
Sara: You can't wait for perfect because that's never gonna come.
Aileen: What if you don't have inspiration, though?
Sara: No, yeah–
Aileen: One more question.
Sara: No, it's a good question because that's always a question I can't answer because I
truly think, when it comes to finding what you're truly passionate about in life, that
has to be such a big soul-searching process on your inner things.
If you're lost and you don't feel inspired and you don't think you're doing what you
should be doing right now, you have no right to complain about it if you're not out there
trying things.
I recently said in this interview I did too, is just when you're doing something you hate,
it really pushes you into what you love.
When I was in college–And the point of that is, even if you don't have a job that you
love, even if you don't have something that you absolutely love that you're doing, don't
just sit around.
Try things.
Try new jobs.
Try going to different events.
Just try, try, try.
Even if it's something that you're not liking, you're still doing something, you're still
meeting people, you're still figuring out things that you don't like so you don't have
to dwell on that anymore.
When I was in college and pursuing electrical engineering, it took me three years of college
to figure out that is so not what I want to do.
But at the same time, when I hated my life doing my electrical engineering homework,
I was really being pushed into video and I was figuring that out.
And I was pursuing these small video jobs on the side.
And I was really figuring out "Wow, I actually enjoy this.
This is something I can do."
And I was just doing.
I was doing my electrical engineering homework and I was doing video edits and I was doing
YouTube.
I was pursuing passion projects.
I was pursuing jobs.
I was working with clients.
And then I was also dealing with the bureaucracy that is college and all of the things that
was that.
I wouldn't change it for the world because I learned so many unique lessons within each
of those experiences that have now just become some of who I am today.
Aileen: That is such great advice.
I agree 1000%.
You have to keep trying and doing, doing.
While you're taking action, you figure it out.
Sara: Exactly.
Aileen: Yes.
Thank you so, so much for being on the podcast.

Is Your Pineal Gland Overstimulated Here's What You Can Do To - Duration: 3:54.
Is Your Pineal Gland Overstimulated?
Here�s What You Can Do To Ease The Symptoms!
Walking the path of spirituality will require a lot of work on your intuition and it�s
development.
Staying connected with our intuition helps us make better decisions and keeps us in sync
with the purpose we have on this planet.
Unfortunately, when trying to develop their third Eye, many people make a common mistake.
They over-stimulate their intuitive center -the pineal gland � and don�t allow a
proper energy flow.
It�s very important to pay the same amount of attention to all your chakras, if you practice
too many psychic developing exercises, you risk over-stimulating your chakras, but mostly
the third eye.
The unbalanced energy flow in your body can manifest in many ways, so in order to help
you identify them, we give you the four most frequent and easy-to-spot symptoms of an overstimulated
Pineal Gland:
Experiencing difficulty to focus and concentrate.
Lightheadedness, headaches and dizziness Increased eye pressure, sensitivity to light
and blurred vision.
Difficulty to fall and stay asleep Once you have determined that the discomfort
is caused by overstimulation of your Pineal Gland, you can take some of the following
steps to ease the symptoms:
Rubbing some peppermint, sandalwood, patchouli, chamomile or blue tansy on your sixth chakra
will give you some relief.
Use a hat, scarf or a bindi to cover your third eye.
Avoid fluoride, by any cost!
Ground your energy by going out in nature barefoot or hug a tree.
Schedule a Reiki session.
Concentrate on your other energy centers by doing yoga or breathing exercises.
It will help the energy circulate through your body.
Avoid crowded places for some time.
Use crystals like tiger�s eye, amethyst or hematite to balance out the energy.
Best is to place them directly on your sixth chakra.
We are all, more or less, psychically gifted and we definitely need to work on developing
our talents.
But there is really no need to rush.
We have our entire life in front of us, and it�s much better to take our time and enjoy
the process instead of rushing and overwhelming ourselves and our bodies.
Have patience, it always pays off.

How To Balance Life, Work & Sleep? - Duration: 6:27.
Hey, what's up?
John Sonmez here from simpleprogrammer.com.
I've got a question about being a night owl.
Basically, this is a programmer, "Does being a programmer mean I have to be a night owl?"
This question is from Chris.
He says, "Hey John, recently I've come across questions like, 'Are you ready to stay up
very late for being a programmer?'
I do think that coding is my thing and a career I am willing to strive for, but I do not want
the success of my career in exchange for my health which could be caused by lack of sleep.
I see you are a successful bodybuilder and also a great programmer.
How did you balance your life and work so well and get enough sleep at the same time?
Hope you can give me some advice."
I'll be clear on this.
I don't think that you have to be a night owl to be a programmer.
In fact, I think that it's better of if you weren't a night owl if you're a programmer
if you want to be successful.
In fact, if you want to be successful in life you should probably not be a night owl for
the most part, because the people that are night owls usually end up wasting a lot of
time in their life and they end up sleeping in and they don't get an early start in the
day and a lot of successful people end up or really advocate having a good morning routine
or waking up early.
There's a ton of people that are successful that you can—it's been pretty popular lately
to talk about morning routines.
I have done some videos on the topic.
You can check out my video on morning routines.
I've probably got a couple of them.
I don't follow a very religious morning routine but I do wake up early and I do think that
that's important.
I think that those hours of the day when no one is bothering you, like getting a jumpstart
on the day are really important, but that requires you to go to bed early.
I've always been a big advocate of getting enough sleep because I feel like if you—you
can't cheat it.
You can cheat it temporarily.
There's probably some times in your life where you're going to have to go into hustle mode
and you're not going to get enough sleep.
There was definitely at least a year or 2 in my life where I was just busting ass and
I needed to just keep going and I didn't get as much sleep as I needed, but it eventually
runs you ragged.
It eventually caught up to me and I eventually had to stop doing it.
I can't continue that forever.
It's not a sustainable practice.
I would say that you want to keep that in mind, but that doesn't prevent you from having
enough time to get what you want done.
In my book, I have a book if you haven't read it already, it's called Soft Skills: The Software
Developer's Life Manual.
You can check it out here.
There's an audio and a print version of it.
In that book, I did some chapters on productivity.
I have a whole section on productivity.
In that I was looking up some research to find out how people were wasting their time
and how much time that people spend watching TV.
I read some studies and I was surprised to find that the average American spends somewhere
between 30 and 40 hours a week watching TV.
That's right.
It shocked the shit out of me.
But here's the thing, if you say, "John, I don't have enough time.
I can't get in shape" or "I can't start a side business" or "You must not have a wife
and kids" and all this stuff.
Bullshit!
You're watching TV 30 hours a week.
That's enough time to become a bodybuilder, a professional bodybuilder.
That's enough time to start a side business.
That's like another fulltime job if you're in debt and you need to get out of debt.
You've got a lot of time and that's just watching TV, that's not even the other ways that you
might be wasting your time.
I do have a really good blogpost on how you are wasting your time and you can figure out
how you're spending your time which will tell you how you're wasting that time.
Go through that blogpost and track your time and then you'll figure out that you have a
lot more of it than you think that you do.
That's just really the key.
I would say that good time management is going to be critical.
You can obviously become a programmer without being a night owl.
I know it's popular for programmers to stay up coding all night, but it's not sustainable,
it doesn't make sense.
I agree, don't sacrifice your health.
I prioritize my health above everything else pretty much in my life.
A lot of people say, "Well, that's crazy.
You prioritize it above your family and above your friends and above your work and finances?"
I say, "Yes, and I'll tell you why, because that is the vehicle that enables me to do
everything else.
"I definitely make sure that my health is top number one priority, because without that
I'm not any use to anyone else.
I can't succeed.
I can't help anyone.
I can't be there for people.
I can't support people.
I can't make these YouTube videos.
I can't do what I'm doing in life unless I have the constitution, the stamina, the fortitude,
the physical health to be able to do that.
That's my vehicle in life and it's your vehicle in life as well.
There you go.
You don't need to be a night owl in order to be a programmer so don't let anyone convince
you or make you think that that's what you got to do.
What you do have to do in order to be successful with whatever you're doing is have good time
management skills, figure out how you're wasting your time, stop wasting your time.
I say that you only waste time when you don't do what you intend to do.
Figure out all the places where you're not doing what you intend to do.
Did you really intend to browse Facebook for an hour and a half?
Did you really intend to watch that TV program for an hour and a half?
Change those things out to things that you actually intend to do with your time.
It doesn't mean you can't have fun.
It doesn't mean you can't do fun things, but make sure that you plan it out, that you actually
intended to spend the time that way and that's going to give you a lot more chances of success.
It's going to make you feel better and you're going to be a lot, lot more productive.
There's a lot more productivity that you can squeeze out of your life and out of your days
than you might think is possible, but you've got to account for that and you've got to
be very conscious of it.
That's how you're going to be able to do more things in life for sure.

Take care.

Essence OF Murli 01-06-2017 - Duration: 6:47.
Om Shanti !
Today's Murli Date Is 1st June 2017
(Sweet Sweet Baapdada is also our Supreme father, teacher, satguru. As supreme teacher Shiv Baba imparts knowledge to become Dieties from Human beings)
Essence: Sweet children, this is the school for becoming Narayan from an ordinary man.
The one who is teaching you is the true Father, the true Teacher and the true Satguru Himself.
Your faith in this has to remain firm.
Question: What should you children never have the slightest worry about and why?
Answer: If, while following this path, someone has heart failure and leaves his body,
you should not worry because you know that each one has to perform his own act.
You should be happy because you know that that soul has taken the sanskars of knowledge and yoga with him
and so he will now serve Bharat even better.
There is no question of worrying; it was destined in the drama.
Song: You are the Mother and You are the Father.
Essence for dharna: 1. You have to do the business of studying and teaching others on the basis of shrimat.
Remain firm on the destiny of the drama. Do not worry about anything.
2. At the end, no one but the Father has to be remembered. Therefore, practise forgetting even that body. You have to become bodiless.
Blessing: May you be a special soul and experience spiritual pleasure in every test by being ever ready.
The confluence age is the age for remaining in spiritual pleasure (mauj). Therefore, always stay in pleasure and never get confused (munj).
If you become confused for even a short time over any adverse situation or test
and that moment happens to be your final moment, then your final thoughts will lead you to your destination!
Therefore, remain constantly ever ready. Let no problem become an obstacle to your becoming complete and perfect.
Always have the awareness that you are a most valuable and special soul in the world
and that your every thought, word and deed is special. Let not a single second go to waste.
Slogan: Continue to accumulate elevated actions in your account and your account of sinful actions will automatically finish.
To the sweetest, beloved, long-lost and now-found children, love, remembrance and good morning from the Mother, the Father, BapDada.
The spiritual Father says namaste to the spiritual children.
We spiritual children convey to spiritual Baapdada, our love our remembrance, our good morning & our namaste namaste
Om Shanti !

Increase Video Upload Speed - Duration: 7:50.
In this video I'm going to show you how you can make your videos easier to watch online.
Making your video file sizes smaller can help your audience with a
smoother viewing experience, especially if they're watching your videos on a mobile device.
Hi Mark from Pocket Video School and if this is your first time
here why don't you subscribe to my YouTube channel to make sure that you
don't miss out on any tips, tricks, techniques and strategies that I use to
make video and especially using my smartphone.
Now we've all experienced
that frustrating video issue where you wait for ages and ages for a video to
play without stuttering on your computer, tablet or mobile phone.
As more and more
videos are now in HD we expect the viewing experience to match the actual
quality, but if it doesn't play smoothly we get fed up and we move on to
something else, which is the last thing we want as business owners who are using
video to educate and entertain their viewers.
By reducing the size of the
video files that we upload to our websites and video sharing platforms,
we can speed up the time it actually takes to get the file uploaded and make it a
much smoother experience for our viewers.
And if you do it correctly there will be
very little noticeable difference in the actual quality of the video.
So using a free tool I'm going to walk you through the process that I use to compress my
video files, to speed up my workflow and make my videos play more efficiently for
my viewers.
So the first thing you need to do is go across to a website called
handbrake.fr
and just click the download button if you're using it for Windows, it's also
available for Mac and Linux as well.
Now once you've installed it and you've
opened up the application and the first thing you need to do is decide which
file it is the actually want to compress, so the one I'm going to use is this
action movie FX and as you can see if I just go to properties file size was 295mb,
so I'm going to open that in Handbrake.
Now across on the right hand
side you'll see you've got a whole load of presets here which in the current
version there's a tremendous amount of different ones, so what I would recommend
doing is scrolling down to the bottom and using the normal
legacy setting.
Then you have to choose the destination and the file name of where you want to save it,
so I'm going to put action movie FX,
underscore compressed
and save it in the same folder so we can make a
comparison between the two
and making sure that file extension is mp4 save that.
The next thing we need to do is click this check box that says web optimized, now what
that means is without getting into too many technical details but, an mp4 when
you upload that natively to your website for instance and you weren't using
something like YouTube, what happens is mp4 the header information to tell the
video to play, is actually at the end just the way that this particular
file extension mp4 works.
So what would happen is if you were just uploading it
to your website and it would have to download the whole of the file before it
actually started playing and what you want to do is obviously is move that
header information to the front of the file, so that when it starts to
download then it tells the video to start playing as it's progressively
downloading, so yeah I know that's quite technical but that's the
basic interpretation of it is just it web optimized it makes it what they call
fast start enabled, so it moves the header information to the beginning,
so it will start playing before it's completed downloading which is exactly
what you need when you're doing anything online.
The next thing you need to do is
just make sure that the video file size is correct, now this was a 720p so HD video,
you click now click into the video file this is where you would make sure
that H.264 was the correct codec, now why H.264?
Well that's the best compression codec to use especially for playing on the web
now there is a new H.265 which reduces the file sizes and even more,
but unfortunately the likes of YouTube don't support that codec yet
and because it's so new I think it probably will come in the future but at
the moment just stick to H.264 which is the best compression for the best quality.
Leave everything, variable frame rate just leave that as it is.
Quality constant quality leave that at 20,
now if you look at this it does tell
you the suggested values of between 18 and 20, now what actually what I would
say is just change this to 18,
because what happens is when you upload to
YouTube, it does compress it slightly is using their own codec, so the higher
quality that you can send it the better.
Audio, I would leave the audio as it is AAC and in stereo,
subtitles not necessary
and chapters not necessary so the next thing to do is just press Start
and then the software itself has a progress bar down on the bottom left-hand corner
and it will run through the compression process so rather than keep your hanging here
I'm going to speed this process up so you can see what the file size looks like.
Okay so handbrakes finish doing this thing now
so I'm going to open up the folder where I saved it and here's the original,
which was 295mb and this is the compressed version that handbrakes
done for me and this is 44.1mb, now that's quite a substantial
difference that's about a fifth of the size of the original, if not more.
So that
would obviously upload a hell of a lot quicker if I was using YouTube or if I
was uploading it to my website.
That also means that on playback it's going
to play a hell of a lot quicker because there isn't as much information to
actually download.
So what I'll do is I'll put the two videos side by side and
you can see if there's any degradation in the actual quality.
Hi everyone Mark from Pocket Video School.com here
and a few people have asked me recently and who've seen the intro video
I did for my website, how I managed to create the, the little animation of the
boulder crushing Chris.
Well hope you found that really useful?
So go and download handbrake now and start compressing those videos and speeding up
your upload times and your workflow and the experience for your viewers as well.
If you haven't already don't forget, subscribe to my YouTube channel,
the link is at the bottom there and I've also linked up here to another one my video tutorials.
See you again next week
