Past continuous

I was just saying the weather is beautiful today and the next thing you know

I walk out and there's dark clouds all over the sky.

It's like probably 80% recovered already.

We might as well just do a test right here

So as you can tell it it's a big progress already

And a couple weeks before that, I could only talk beneath my breath

Which is really bad for the vocal cords, actually

So yeah, my voice is recovering and definitely the cold is gone, still a little bit coughy though, but you know, everything's just good right now

Just need to recover my voice a little bit more.

So I'm not gonna press it too hard on this video

I'm just gonna save my voice a little bit so that I don't get worse, alright?

I hope I get well by the end of this week

Oh wait, light's over there, so let's move

So last week I made this flash card video, which was me explaining my current situation

Wasn't able to record videos for two weeks because I lost my voice, etc

It wasn't intended to be a consolation-seeking video

But it turned out to be getting lots of consolations from you guys, a lot of caring, a lot of comments

I wasn't asking for a pet on the head, but that's what I get

It's really really heartwarming to know that there's so many people out there behind my back

Thank you guys, and what's great is actually, kind of like good out of a bad is..

During my downtime, I actually got the time to really think about my future plans

Like really think about stuff that mattered to my career

I was spending so much time recording videos

running errands, caring for the small stuff ,the trivial stuff

that I didn't really have time for thinking

Just really putting thought into my business

But during these two weeks, since I didn't have the voice I couldn't record at all

Which was a very very important thing , which was something that I should have been doing a long long time ago

For instance, I've accomplished something that has been pending for six months on my to-do list

It's something I should have done a long long time ago

But I had kept it waiting for a long while

But during these two weeks I got it nailed, I pinned it down

And that was a great feeling knowing that that making some progress in your business

So I'll tell you more about it, but I need my laptop. So let's go

Great! Just when we're about to leave it gets sunny

So I couldn't use my voice for the past two weeks

But that didn't stop me from using my.. my head, my brain

I started doing a lot of brainstorming, a lot of thinking, a lot of researching, coming up with new ideas. new directions for my projects

And one of the things that I finally got off my chest was an update on my PressPlay project

Cuz I've been planning on doing that for quite a while

I was bad at Photoshop, I was bad at Illustrator

I still am bad at it. But I finally got a book

I read through it, and basically learned my way through it.

I rewrote all the descriptions on that page ,and now it's brand new

I love it much better than the previous version

So that's one thing that I checked off my to-do list

And then I started doing research on new videos

I've been going through a lot of channel , either here in Taiwan or in America or in Europe

I've been digging for new topics or new ways to make these new videos

And I gotta say, now I have a pocket list of those

My next video is gonna be about Yale University's most popular class in 300 years

Which is called science and the good life 
(actually it's Psychology & The Good Life)

Another very important thing that I've been looking into is my YouTube analysis

Which is not small anymore. We're not a small Channel anymore

On the other hand, we're not that big yet

We're kind of in the middle category, I would say

We have no problem in growing subscribers on a daily basis. Like we get hundreds of subscribers every day

But the problem is, the issue is the views are not growing proportionally

While the subscribers are going like boom

They're not growing proportionally, which they should

And it might have something to do with YouTube's algorithm

But I wanted to find something that I could change, something that was in my control

Since the last summer we came out with a video called "How I Learned English"

When that video came out we had 30,000 subscribers
