I’m an Ivory Tower kinda girl, meaning I love to research the shit outa stuff I’m interested in. For self-publishing, this often means watching/listening to tons of youtube videos and lectures.

As I’m sure you might guess, this can get boring AF, and I’ve already spent many hours ‘educating myself’ while playing Tetris on another browser until my fingers cramped into a monkey’s paw type situation. Pretty much a throwback to my entire education. Holla, grad school!

My husband recommended playing videos at 1.25 speed, which you can do under the flower shaped button in the bottom right of most videos.

But I gotta tell you, you’re then trapped, playing Tetris, with someone who sounds totally coked out of their mind AND SUPER PSYCHED ABOUT THE MINUTIA OF SELF PUBLISHING.

Another option I’ve recently discovered are programs such as this one,
which convert youtube audio to a podcast format you can play on mp3 player.

I’ve converted exactly one youtube lecture with this link, and it worked. Although, when I came back to my browser, there was a full page ad from Ashley Madison. So be sure to give your spouse the heads up before you get yourself in some marital hot water.

Anyway, you are probably a bad-assed multi-tasker like myself, and enjoy plotting your eventual brand take-over while you go out jogging, or as you heroically mop the floor. If so, this might help you out.
