AdSense unit display ads after entering PIN

I finally got my AdSense PIN delivered to me via mail. This is after 5 months of my first request and being demonetised in the first week of February. Coincidentally, a few left-wing political channels on YouTube were kick out of the YPP (YouTube Partnership Program). Guys like Graham Elwood were hit and I am sure if he is patient and smart about it, he would get back in next month.

 

It was distressing and I made my second request for the PIN on February 6th 2021. I got the mail yesterday 25th. I thought it was stolen during the #EndSARS civil unrest in Nigeria back in October because my first request was on October 4th 2020. I went to the post office to complain that a mail I was expecting has not yet arrived 5 months later and I was told that no post office was looted during the riots. So I stated suspecting that may it was the global pandemic that made the mail to be frozen somewhere.

 

I spent my whole time at work manually turning on the monetization setting of all 500+ videos on my channel.

 

Anyway, as of now 10pm Friday 26 February 2021, all my websites are displaying ads again and my videos too. It gave me a new appreciation of that source of income. I think I might concentrate on generating something from it. You never know what you have until it is gone.

Challenging myself daily and trying to apply the philosophy of winning daily

There was a motivational speech I heard but never saw the speaker. I thought it was Jocko Willink but the speaker cuss a lot and I suspect it isn’t him. The speaker taught that to be a winner, you must try to win daily and if you win every-day (little by little), you would eventually just be a ‘winner’. Basically ‘incremental progress’ explained in a way I have never hear it explained before.



It also remains me of Dr Aziz on YouTube who once taught about accepting challenges with a phrase of “Bring it on”.



Today: I intend on making personal list of things (that if I do, I would consider that day as a win, these are usually unpleasant things that I have been procrastinating or would probably procreate on). Just two or three main goals & the rest are minor goals which might sum up to 30 items daily (however, the most important task would be the first 3).



Today being Tuesday 9th February 2021, I would do some deep cleaning (might take 4 to 6 hours) from laundry to washing my bike, toilet and room. Secondly, I would study for my exams and thirdly I would just make a quick sketch that would be filmed to be uploaded on YouTube (I might not have the time to upload it on YouTube due to my double shift just for today).
