If I sit with proper attention, I can finish any task quickly and also with a lot of energy and all. So there were a lot of reflections when I was recording for those 2 hours. It taught me that consistency is important, focus is important, and I was not able to waste any minute because if I just go out for a minute also, I will completely get distracted and I don't know when I'll be doing the video. So I was like, uh, 2 hours come what may, I have to finish it. I should not take more than 3 minutes for a video, and 15 into 3, like that I calculated, and that really helped me. So consistency over perfection, voice modulation, rate of speech, and focus or attention— all of these factors were actually covered.
