About Me


Hi, This is CC! I am an avid Youtube watcher, and like many of you, I have this common struggle: very soon I will forget almost all the insights after wathing an information-loaded Youtube video. To make sure I at least get something out of the countless hours of watching Youtube videos, I decide to use this blog to keep my video watching notes so that my learnings are organizable and trackable.

I will focus on videos that offer insights on two fronts: self development and financial independence.

If you find my notes useful, subscribe to my newsletter for updates. Hope it will save you time and make YouTube more accessible and rewarding for you!
