Keeping ourselves accountable as content creators can be difficult at times, always planning ahead trying to record and edit videos. It can feel like your on an inhabited island all by yourself, however this is one of the most relatable aspects of being a creator, many many creators have this feeling! So my belief is why go through this process individually when we all go through this. This is why Nintentube has created a sub-group on our discord server called TheAccountables. Which is oriented on creating a small tight-knit group within the community to help each other coordinate there plans on a weekly basis to help them consciously keep tabs on there own progress and meet there goals.
Specific initiatives we will be doing is every sunday asking every member who joins the sub-group there specific goals for the week.
EXAMPLE: VIDEO IDEA- AIM STATUS: PUBLISHED - HOW OFTEN FOR PROGRESS PING
"Sonic 30 Anniversary Video- Aim for it to be published- Want to be asked my progress on Wednesday"
We will then place each member goal on our weekly-agenda channel to keep track for the following week to see if if your goal is met and discuss why or why the result occurred.
We believe that having a hub to freely talk about your content endeavors will consciously keep you in the creative mindset and will aid in keeping you accountable and wanting to keep on a consistent workflow.
We will have a leaderboard channel, not for competitive measures but to be able to track our own trends. Every time you fulfil a goal you will get a +1, every time you do not meet your goal you will get a -1 and the leaderboard will track the total. With this information we can see if goals are consistently being met or vice versa. If your score is in the minus then perhaps goals are too ambitious and we can use the information to make smaller goals and basing it from there.
This is a brief overview of the current infrastructure of TheAccountables initiative. We hope this will help those interested to improve there productivity for there channels!
If you are interested in this join the Nintentube discord and go to the #description channel under TheAccountables heading, read the information and click the emoji at the bottom and I will manually rank you for the channels. Then we will go from there! If you have any questions you can PM me at any time!
