Shetty Reveals He Spent Four to Five Hours Nightly Editing Single Five Minute Videos
On Purpose with Jay Shetty
Always “Too Tired” After Work? 5 Shifts to Optimize Your 5–9 and Finally Build the Life You Want
"I remember spending 4 to 5 hours a night, 5 days a week to edit one 5-minute video. Now, if anyone ever tells you it'll take them 20 hours to edit a video, just know that is not a good amount of time. That is way too long. But I spent that long because I had to teach myself how to edit."
Jay Shetty disclosed the extreme time investment required during his transition from corporate work to content creation, spending 20 hours weekly teaching himself video editing while holding a full-time job. He acknowledged the inefficiency but framed it as necessary sacrifice that enabled his current career, despite missing birthdays and social events during that period.
