Thanks Tintin I like the journaling regularly about what is holding you back based on fear and zooming out. I notice myself constantly gravitating towards the publishing schedule to optimise it. As it’s comfortable and controllable, but actually where my time is better spent is on planning the content more!
Please tell me if I am mistaken, but there is no real inversion in your YouTube example. The first list is simply a (double) negative of the second list - to succeed "don't avoid X", vs, to succeed "do X". I don't think this wordplay is very insightful. For example, no YouTuber is deliberately going to make boring videos for his audience, so it's a bit strange to categorise this as 'something to avoid'.
Perhaps a more useful inversion would be to "avoid giving YouTube advice to others, before you have checked that the advice works for yourself". Now I'm not saying it's necessarily hypocritical to make a video titled "How to Make a Viral Thumbnail" and not have a single viral video on your channel; all I'm saying is that people will not be convinced by it, even if your advice is right in theory. But then again, YouTube *is* a numbers game.
