Updated August 2, 2024 from my apartment in New York City, a sunny day.
Life
1. Moving countries
Moved from my home country Nepal to the USA. Living in NYC right now. It’s been about 2 weeks (moved on July 21). Settling in well. Was struggling initially but things are getting better.
The food has been great. I think I now understand why Americans eat outside so much.
Haven’t visited many places in NYC yet. Went to Times Square and the New York Public Library but that’s kind of it for now. I’ve scheduled to visit places from Aug 11 with my brother.
2. Getting back to myself
As shared in my recent newsletter, I am struggling a bit to get back to my usual productive routine. Kind of starting going to the gym and YouTube-ing from the beginning again, but reminding myself that “this shall pass“.
Priorities
1. YouTube
Not getting a part-time job right away. I’ve decided that I want to do YouTube for a while. I’m going to dedicate most of my energy to growing on YouTube (at least 1 video a week).
If I build good momentum by the end of 2024, then I’ll continue working on YouTube actively; if that doesn’t work very well, then I’ll get a part-time job.
2. Figuring Things Out
My weekly newsletter “Figuring Things Out” will always be my priority. I’ll keep writing every week until I can’t. Join the community to stay updated and grow together.
