Hi all,
Those of you who've been following me for a while know how this works. In order to finish a video, I have to publicly announce a deadline. Although I will miss that deadline, the shame of missing it will push me to actually ship the product.
I know this is annoying for you and embarrassing for me, but it has to be this way. Because the alternative is that every video turns into a Winds of Winter situation and I never finish anything. The annoyance and embarrassment are necessary, because the strategy only works when I experience genuine shame.
So here's the good news: the February deadline has served its purpose, and the video is basically done. If I absolutely had to, I could publish it this weekend. But I still haven't added music to most of the video, and I regret not taking an extra week to do that for "Conspiracy," so I'd like to do it with this one.
I'm asking for a one week extension, target upload date March 6 or 7. That should give me plenty of time to do the music, resolve any content ID/community guidelines issues, and publish a video that is actually finished and not just "good enough."
I'm sorry I'm like this. Thanks for all your patience!
