Dad's Log - A Glimpse Into The Mind Of A Broadcaster

Today I wanted to talk about minimizing distractions. When you're creating live content, you're already taking in so much information. Playing your game, people following, chat interaction, multimedia information, etc.... I've had multiple people tell me that they also watch shows / anime, or are browsing the web, or interacting in other people's chat. This is taking away from the focus you are putting on your own chat. I know some of you might think, "but there isn't anyone in chat to interact with". That's a subject for a different day, but there are a lot of resources out there for the subject "networking". My encouragement for you is to consider turning off all distractions you might have while creating content. Turn off the show, get out of the chat room of others, turn off notifications on your phone / browser, and focus on the content you're creating. Viewers aren't dumb, they can tell when you're distracted. So make sure you minimize that as much as possible. God bless!
