this video is what this entire year has felt like, I've lost joy in so many of the things I used to love and I haven't yet been able to develop a healthy schedule in a while so I've come to a point where when I get motivated I forget to exist as a functioning person for weeks on end and the rest of the time I'm so unmotivated I can't exist as a functioning person for weeks on end. It's kind of inspiring to see someone make some positive changes! looking forward to more spontaneous videos!

Exactly, because normal life hasn't been progressing. Everyone's put energy into adjusting but its become surprisingly difficult to fall back into old habits and hobbies. This entire year put life on standstill and it's annoying as hell, especially with so many schools rushing students into exams.

It's a really tough one to deal with - and you're right, especially with all that's been happening this year. I hope all turns out okay!

Galatea, every type of video you make is a video I'll watch. Your channel is one of my favourites here on youtube (maybe even my favourite). For me, it doesn't matter if the video is scripted or not, I simply love hearing you talk and getting to see your thought process. So keep going, make whatever content that makes you truly happy, we'll watch and enjoy it nonetheless. Is your personality that I like, it shines through in every video. I'm very much excited about this every wednesday video. Good luck and enjoy the process! (Recommendation: I think I'd like to see a video like the one you made in 2018 for the books you had read in that year, but this time for 2020)

I, too, often torture myself in order to become more productive.

I'd love to see some His Dark Materials content, especially with season 2 of the show coming out!

Unscripted Authentic Observer? Can we handle it?!? Sounds awesome!

Oh yeah and I'd totally love more illustrations and abstract stuff from you.

Sounds like a much healthier way to run your channel and I'll watch whatever you've got coming!

Take care, just put out content whenever you can. We’re a patient lot. 🙂

Hopefully this doesn't come as a shock, but we all pretty much adore you and want you to do what makes you happy. Your work isn't going to be any good if it stops meaning anything to you. And yes, I would love book recommendations from someone with your level of insight and appreciation for art. Please take care of yourself. Best of luck with your new goals.

I sympathise with what you're going through. I write for a living, and for the first year my strategy was the same one I'd always had. Sit in a chair pale, shaking and sweaty until it's done, and it just wasn't sustainable when you roughly need to get 500-2000 words out a day. And I rarely like anything I do, or more precisely I rarely think anything I do is finished. Even for all the praise, compliments and feedback. Not humble bragging, just trying to prove the point that we are the best and worst judges of our own work. I really appreciate your channel, and though the advice is always the same and feels kinda blah. I encourage you to make a schedule that works long term, I still get to a point where I need to push, but it's the exception, and I have fuel in the tank when I need to. Next isn't so easy, but find the difference between something being finished and something that could be better. I have tons of stuff that could be better, but it's all finished, and I took my lessons into the next project. I still find this hard to admit to myself but I improve much faster finishing things than I do having an existential crisis about sentence structure and how a word falls. It can feel to me like I'm sucking all the art out of it, but in truth I'm really not. I am writing in spite of the panic, chaos and self loathing not because of it. Anyway like I said channel is brilliant and glad your uploading again, take care of yourself.

Thank you for the good advice! :) I like what you said about something being unfinished and something that could be better, that's a good way to look at it

Oh, videos about what you like seeing in books, that'd be cool. Also kudos on trying different things and finding better ways to take care of yourself.

I mean, you are called the Authentic observer, so you can be as authentic as you want ;D That said, I hope you can find the joy in doing things again, and for me the "consistent" schedule was never something I felt was required to keep a 'good channel'. If it's a goal you want to do for yourself then I understand, and I will continue to respect and enjoy your videos, whatever they may be :> Because I think your view on things are very interesting.

You are so incredibly creative and I love your work. Please don’t feel bad about missing a deadline. Always take care of yourself first. Your videos always improve my mood. Whatever you upload will be phenomenal. I hope you are safe in Covid times and that your holidays are wonderful.

Oh Galatea, I feel ya! I've been trying to write my novel over this current crisis (unexpected time off as no one needs corporate videos editing), and it's difficult to set a schedule to get things done and maintain balance. One thing I've found that's helped is setting timers for stuff. I also generally do all of the 'normal life' things (washing, cleaning, running, etc) in the morning, so the afternoon can be spent doing the creative stuff. I also have fairly strict bedtimes so I don't fall into the habit of staying up for 20+ hours. Thinking about suggestions for topics, give us the small stuff ( it doesn't have to be long-form), or create a long-form video that amalgamates several of these smaller topics (title cards to split them up, etc)? The trio of witches video was very well done, and very enjoyable, so go where the Muse takes you!

I'm really sorry that you're struggling this much, it sucks and sounds really frustrating!

I feel ya girl. Creative endeavors stress me out too, probably because I feel they reflect on my own person and therefore I fear anyone who sees it will judge me for it and therefore it has to be perfect. It takes a big deal of self distancing to let go of that and just create. As for topic suggestions you've emntioned in the past that you didn't like Dune, which is probably among my favorite media of all time, so I'd appreciate the extended rant on that.

@theauthenticobserver

Yeah I think being able to distance the personal from the creative in that way is essential, though it is very tricky to do. Ah I could possibly do something on Dune, but I don't know how much I'd have to say other than I couldn't finish it because I found it such hard work to get through (I'm sorry!!) To say more I'd probably have to give it a re-read

Your content is a treasure. I was personally happy to see one video once every few months, knowing you're living your life and youtube is just something on the side you really want to do so you can share an opinion about something. I understand the part where you burn out where a hobby turns into a "job" except it's not paying for the time you spend into it. My advice is dont make it a job! Do only what you wanna do, not what others want from you. You're doing a good thing to eliminate the things that frustrate you and depress you, simplifying things is the best road! Loved your scripted videos but i think you are the same person with or without scripting, so they're all enjoyable to watch :D That said i need to say something - Not all cultures in the world celebrate Helloween. This is an overhyped theme/holiday and while i like the aestetic, it's not something i enjoy just one brief period of the entire year. Give me a video about witches any day and i'll watch it! lol Also make a fundme or patreon or something to help you hire people to help edit or whatever if it's all too stressful!

I wanna hear about Mythology. Yes I know this is my third comment.

Nothing like a good computer crash to suck all your motivation away, along with your enjoyment. Creativity and timing are hard to deal with. It wasn't exactly creative burnout, but last year I was working two jobs and it totally crashed my motivation. When I had free time I didn't want to do anything creative. Now I'm a trucker and actually spend more total hours working, but am much less stressed out and my creative productivity has been ramping up steadily.

A weekly ramble? By all means please!

Let me say the unpleasant truth: motivation, as all emotions, is volatile and not reliable. One that rely on motivation to accomplish an achievement probably will never do it. You are very intelligent and funny, i watched some of your old content and i really think you've got something. Keep going, and take your time to relax, to avoid burnouts, but remember that nobody can rely on feel motivated in order to accomplish their goes. Rather, it's better to rely on discipline, which means: do whatever you know you have to do, at the time you have to do, in order to accomplish that achievement that you are aiming to. When it is time to relax, just relax no matter what and when it is time to work on your channel, if you really wants it, work on your channel, despite your motivations. This is discipline, that's the key. Hope it helps you, as it is helping me. ;)

@@theauthenticobserver this is another interesting thing about discipline and force of will: it is like some muscle if you keep training it, it grows stronger. There are some people who have it easily, and some who struggle with it. I am in the second group. Kkkk generally creative people get hard times in order to put some discipline up.

That sounds like a good idea. It's not worth it if you end up dreading it. Besides, it'd be nice hearing more from you. So take good care of yourself and just enjoy the ride, I'm sure we will enjoy it too ;)

I just relate to this chic so much! Love listening to her verbal process. Keep it coming with your unscripted thoughts!!

I would really like to see you talk a bit more about illustration and art. Perhaps the story telling with in art or going through some of your favourite artists and showing what you like and don't like about them. I'd also really like to see your artwork so a speeddrawing or sketchbook tour would be really interesting as well. You've mentioned before that you have read a few graphic novels but what about Manga or webcomics? Also... the 'Queens Gambit' and the 'Haunting of' series are full of positive things that you could speak on and a bit to critique :) I really love your videos and don't want you to feel that creative burnout, it's really horrible. I think keeping things varied will help :) good luck with it all :)

I love watching your videos, and I'm really looking forward to them in whatever format you end up settling on. There are many interesting videos on KZread, but the reason why I am watching yours is of course the awesome way in which you present your ideas and points. You have my full confidence that you will manage that in whatever way you end up settling for. Take your time, don't worry too much about perfection and don't hesitate to take a break when you need it. Thank you for your amazing content!

Know that feeling all too well. Having on your mind "I should do this, upload that" can take a very high toll on your mental health. In my experience it helped to let go of the "I should". Youre doing these amazing videos not only for the audience but also for yourself, because these are things you want to express. If there isnt anything new where you say "i really WANT to talk about that" then you can use the time to relax. Do other things that you actually WANT. Paint, read, make a nice dinner or go for a walk and dont even think about the videos or youtube. The motivation will return in no time. Kikis delivery service had a similiar topic in the movie, "The Take" did an analysis of it, if that interests you. :) Take as much time as you need, your audience will be there, no matter when you upload.

honestly I'd watch anything you post! Health and safety first, always!

@3:11 the the feeling of relief was from the cosmos saying "Nope, go get some rest"

I’d love see a video where you draw/make (lol I’m not an illustrator) an illustration and show us your creative process with that.

Have fun with KZread, Galatea. It's commendable you're even questioning IF you're having fun or not. I hope you're part of a new age of youtubers who do not get burn out, obsessed by growing audience, exhausting themselves. Doing things needs a balance with being (with family, with friends, or just being). I'm not a regular commenter but I enjoy your personality and lol, your accent. We'll wait for you.

I'd love to see a little bit of content about your opinion on the inheritance cycle, I'd like to see where you stand on that. And don't worry about what people think about content changes, if there's more content I'm sure we'll all be happy.

I'm so sorry to hear you've burned yourself out on these videos. I've burned myself out so much on projects as well, that were just meant to be a moment of pleasure so I definitely empathise. I'm glad you have a new way of approaching content making. I definitely love all of your style of videos. Excited to see what's coming. Also, if you want to create highly polished projects, don't be scared of reaching out to people to participate in them as well. 😊Also any artistic projects I'd be very excited to see as well!

This is so relatable to me, especially like, feeling the need to be careful about absolutely everything you say so everyone knows exactly what you think about everything. And it is, honestly, quite silly. Anyway, love your videos and good job on part 1 of the witch series.

Studied philology 7 years in university, now I teach kids 6 years straight, and I love it all and I get some good money for it, but sometimes it's just too much. May you be well, my aspiring comrade! And exuse my grammar too...

Haven't watched it yet, but the lack of upper case letters in conjunction with the period at the end cracks me up.

All Galetatea videos are good videos! Can't wait to see more!

honestly, when you announced that you would be releasing all three videos so close together I was wowed. by the first video alone you can tell how much research, preparation, editing, and performance. i thought you had already filmed all the parts and were in the middle of putting the finishing touches. the amount you of work you did was incredible to hear and watch, but I think you underestimated how hard it would be. regardless it was beautiful, and if you ever feel like doing it again, I would love to continue watching! but I agree, if you're going for more consistency maybe a little more simplicity is the way to go for now. and like you said, you can still get your point across in a simpler, nonscripted video. as long as you continue talking about stuff that you like and are passionate about, we will continue watching 💕 take care!!

I enjoy everything you put out (including channel update videos like this), so I'm not too torn up about losing a particular video if it's spurred on more stuff overall. I'm glad you're not forcing yourself to do a video you're not enthusiastic about anymore.

Oh my, Galatea, please calm down. For a moment it looked like you were going to explode, the stress definitely is still there... Do you know why do we like your videos? They are witty, they are creative and they are honest, even if scripted. You've got something in you that shows in them, makes you stand out in the buzz and crowd of KZread. If changes that you mentioned in this video will suit your wellbeing, we're more than ok with that. Man, new video every week? Don't expect us to complain about it! :D

I mean, I can't imagine how much work went into your first video! I completely understand having creative burnout doing that much work, so you relax!

I just watched your video on mean girls and it was fabulous, you clearly put a lot of work in to it. I am so sorry to hear about your editing mishap, there is nothing less motivating in this world than having to start again on a project you lost. I completely understand how you are feeling.

Take care, no pressure

This was an almost uncomfortably relatable video for me and I’d just like to thank you that. So yeah, thanks.

You seem like such an interesting person so I'd honestly be happy to watch anything you put out! (Still quietly hoping for a Discworld video, though, if you happen to like the books.) Tbh you being happy and taking care of yourself and enjoying yourself seems far more important than perfect videous/regularly scheduled content! ❤

Take your time! Your work deserves patience and quality. I know I'm willing to wait for it and seems like the majority of us are. Burn-out for creative people is a hurdle we all face. Make things you're happy with and that are fun for you to make. Don't stress :)

Love the new game plan! ☺️ Take care of yourself. 💕

Another vote here for some content about the His Dark Materials show! Also personally would love to hear your thoughts on The Secret Commonwealth, unless I've missed it I don't think I've seen you talk about it yet.

I'm really glad that you plan on taking better care of yourself

You’ve caught me on a week where I’ve been staying up till 4and getting up at 7 each day for my degree, so thanks for the reminder to take better care. Feel free to make whatever you like!

The difficult part of working on your own (especially in creative endeavours) is that you aren't accountable to anyone to get things done. I've been struggling with it for this whole quarantine, but I'm trying to get myself on a schedule... It's tough, but hey. I'm sure we can figure it out! Good luck Galatea! ♥

I really can relate to you regarding this situation, especially during college. I was such a perfectionist that in the end I would not deliver any of my class assignments, because nothing seemed good enough, and then I ended up failing, simply because I wanted everything to be as perfect as possible (thank god it's over). Although I like the videos in which you do a lot of research work, I would also love to see videos in which you talk about things you like. So don't stress yourself, I always like your content no matter what :)

I just want you to know that even if you make one video a year because that's what you're comfortable with, I'll still watch it just as religiously. I am in love with all your videos including the ones like these! Take care

This was great to hear, working so much and not balancing is a problem I constantly struggle with. Going hard into game development at night for 3 years and not sleeping is now putting a huge toll on my body and mind. I'm in my early 30's and am really feeling the drag as I'm getting older.

I really enjoyed the first part of your witch series and would love to see more, but... PLEASE prioritise your health and wellbeing and TAKE YOUR TIME. Do whatever is best for you. Let yourself enjoy creating, you don't need the pressure. I can relate as a creative myself, I can be quite over ambitious and perfectionistic until I bash the joy out of my brain and not let myself have fun. Have fun! Do things for the sake of fun, this is a lesson I'm trying to teach myself. Art school taught me to be critical of everything and I've felt so so burnt out since then and a crushing sense of pressure to be holier than thou. I'm just ranting about my own shit now, but I hope it's helpful.

Take all the self-care time you need. I liked the atmosphere of your first witches vid.

You're doing great Galatea. Keep this up with your timing, we'll be here. And if you need to do a weekly schedule and in a more easy way, by talking for myself, it will be just very welcomed to see you more time around. Tho ye don't forget to rest and keep time for yourself. That's very important, and moreover as you'll need time and energy for your master.

Looking forward to weekly videos! Take care ♥

I would love to see any of the video ideas you mentioned! I think non scripted stuff will reduce the pressure on you, and make it more fun for you. Take care xx.

Looking forward to the new spontaneous and unscripted videos! I guess I just find it interesting and exciting whatever you talk about honestly :)

Glad you recognised your limits dude, cause some people tell themselves they'll power through it & end up in really bad places

Oh, my other favourite Galatea. The one that isn't on a Cervantes' book. I wish you the best, and everything comes when it needs to.

Galatea, I've been a silent watcher for a long time, but to be honest your channel is among ones that I enjoy the most. Your videos are entertaining no matter if they are scripted or not. And I guess many people who wach your channel are still here because of your personality and because they like to listen to your perspective. Ach, haha, that thought about making everything polished. I felt attacked on a personal level the moment you said it. I do the same in my own area, and honestly I feel this is a number one thing that stops me from actually growing and getting better. Analysing is great, but not when it becomes compulsive. You get tangled in tiny tiny details that you stop looking at the full picture and the whole process becomes exhausting rather than challenging. Especially when you complicate things that should not be complicated, but rather just done. :) I feel things that happen spontaneous or that are said in such way might quite give a birth to more profound thought. (Sound illogical, but oh well) I think it would be interesting to hear about illustration/drawing/creative work and how have you grown to enjoy it or just your thoughts about it. Favourite poetry of yours maybe, haha, I just want to get into it, but feel overwhelmed, suggestion would be cool. Anyway, that was a huge rant. Take care and don't stress yourself. :) Take your time to find what you enjoy doing again - it might be a long process, but it worth it in the end.

I completely understand where you're coming from. Last year, I started an ASMR channel, and the first video was supposed to go up on Halloween. It did make it on time, but I think I'd given myself only a few days to script it, make the set, film, and have it edited. Even with help, I had no idea how long it would actually take, so I didn't give myself enough time to do it without an overwhelming amount stress. In the end, hardly anyone even saw it, and I haven't made a video for the channel since. I decided that with my music (main) channel and the ASMR channel, I'm only going to upload when I'm inspired to do so. No more schedules. No more over-stressing. My content seems to always be better when it's not under pressure anyway.

Take all the time and self care you need

Sorry for not looking at your community tab information! I am in the end cyclus of my master thesis giving me very little time and energy for stuff and my productivity even their is fluxtuating. But dont push yourshelf for us. Me and most other are here because we enjoy you and your content and would like you to take care of yourself as well. We have been here even when you are gone for months and then return with a video. Do it when you are up for it and when you can you come first! But i like the idea of the new video series as well. Stay you in these trying of times ^^

Your Halloween upload was excellent! Acting superb especially with the manic witch, don't be too self critical I try to write something every day even if its complete rot😊 but I avoid setting deadlines to keep it fun.. Volo alto e canto la verità al mondo

That laugh at 8:30 is gold

Since we're all suggesting stuff: horror. It is a very general suggestion, so you can do with it what you want

I can understand what you have been going through as far as having a form of intellectual burnout. I have been a bartender for 5 years as of late and have had times where I felt I need to change my entire career due to a lack of innovation and interest on my part. I will tell you what helped me was cutting out time to be in public (i.e. creating time to relax and be social). This can range from being in the park just sitting or going out to a bar. Remember that feeling overwhelmed is normal but also that being human is not a solitary experience. Knowing that and expressing how you feel will keep you on balance I know it.

I very much hope your new plans work in your favour- though I *loved* your TMI series- it saved me a ton of money, in not buying that series - maybe, at some point in the future (we all need time to centre ourselves- there are moments I _still_ castigate myself for being ‘lazy’, but stepping back from my writing for a hot minute was what I needed to do) you can do a similar series, but there’s nothing wrong with trying something new, or stepping back a little. Whatever you need to do. 🌪🌊🌬🌥🌈✨😊

So this is a podcast announcement basically. I dig it

Just a suggestion poems? I don't know how much your into them but like favorite poems or poets, or a discussion on what makes a good one or the difference between a poem and a story, something like that.

I would enjoy the continuation. . .. you're on to something there. But. . .it is what it is. Perhaps there is something more to come for you on this tale. You could always go 3 years later, for a 6 year spread. Or 9. Take it in stride 😁 thanks for the knowledgeable breakdowns.

It is merely the average expectancy. But you surpass more than subverse in that. In my humble opinion anyway 🙂❤️

You should check out philosophicats series on heroic archetypes. I think you will like it. Also good luck with everything

Feel free to do more casual, shorter videos if you'd like. I'd love to hear your thoughts on His Dark Materials and its TV show too!

I can totally sympathize with you. I think you need to find a team. Your last video was wonderful and it’s concept was amazing, but to get it off the ground you need some like minded and talented focused people helping you.

Personally, I love the shadow hunters series you made way more than anything else, so if you want to, move on to something like that!! I'd binge it like I still do the shadow hunters one

I'd lov to hear you talk about Fahrenheit 451 and The Catcher In The Rye, two very divisive books (the first one I love, the second one I hate, lol). I hope you're ffeling better about your channel und your work

Maybe you should watch your early videos and those that you enjoyed the most as well as those that got the most views, so that you get also what brought you to youtube. But the idea of every Thursday sounds amazing and fun

Take care of your self and be happy, we love your videos but health Is important too. Also, a video a week? Yes, please.

Creative burn out sucks, I've got a bad case of it and sadly, it has hurt my reading habits. I think having a plan helps, even if it involves small steps at the beginning.

think how much work this took and then what we see as good content ... it's astounding how people can keep doing it for as long as they do ... just for a few minutes of entertainment. is that good? isn't that like a bad balance to demand on others or ourselves (unless we absolutely do it out of joy) and think it's free? there's a cost there even if we don't know it, emotional, karmic, balance of the world.

Could you please talk about the new His Dark Materials series. Also, could you please do a part 2 of your Noughts + Crosses video.

Hey would you ever talk about video games or anime? Some of them have the best stories/characters I ever seen.

I feel the heavy deadlines are a big part of burnout. You put a lot of work into really grand videos and that takes a lot of perseverance if you don’t want to do, or your done with it. I think chiller videos that are shorter and require less editing would be good. Though you have a habit of being a workaholic on a lot of things: the Cassandra Clare series.

'Hard' doesn't have to mean physically. My job is very hard, but all I do is sit next to a computer for 8 hours and click buttons. My mussels don't hurt. But my brain does. And i'm very tired at the end of the day.

Seven hours of footage?? My god, how are you still alive? Sounds brutal. It sounds like you’d most benefit from having your scripts edited. Artists have a hard time trimming their content down since they love it all. Editing the script means less editing the video (which is the most time consuming for me anyway). But I think your unscripted content is fantastic anyway. Nobody minds a few pauses.

hhhmmmm, now I just want to see your other works. If videos need to slow down for a bit then is there a web page I can see something else you worked on?

girl, you've evolved like a lottt i've always enjoyed your video, but the last one...damn contrapoints level i appreciate your work and just wanted to let you know that you are watched even in Ukraine (yeah, no one really knows where it is, but i know you, ain't it cool?) take your time, we will wait for you as long as you need us hope you'll be doing fine soon

You could maybe do a video about Harry Potter, in the same way you did the mortal instruments.

I think Cassandra Clare was genuine as first with having gay characters in her first few books (Which I love) but now she seems to only be adding them as token characters. The whole tone is different. Same with J.K Rowling who is just....yikes. Anyways I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I don't know if I mentioned it during your last update, but don't worry about us. I think I speak for a significant ammount of the audience when I say a lot of people want you to enjoy your creative process above all else. I find that your videos are quite unique because there's not a lot of people doing this type of content and you also have a good presence in your videos. Please, please, please don't push yourself beyond what you can do since like you said, this isn't your full-time job (for my part at least I don't feel like you owe us videos, I enjoy your work as it is). I doubt you'll answer this comment but regarding the sense that you're doing this all by yourself, would you be interested in getting a discord server or some other alternative method for people to talk to you/suggest/work with you? P.S right now I'm getting started on a novel called "A Fool on the Hill" by Matt Ruff. It's quite fun but I'm not sure if the subject matter falls in line with your preferred genre of books.
