Don't. Just don't.

Go on a walk. Feed your dog. Maybe read a fucking book. Do literally anything else.

I get people that make tutorials for "content" even if they suck at their job, but I CANNOT get over video tutorials where someone gets completely lost and doesn't cut it out of the video.

Anyways we'll go here-oh there's an error. Uhm. Maybe we can do this? That didn't work. Maybe that? Hang on, maybe it's in preferences? Oh, it's in tools, no, wait, oh I just wrote the name wrong

Would it kill you to edit that out and stop wasting my time?!

When you solve the issue, take a pause and then walk back the problem and how to fix it.
If it's a "forgot where something was", take a pause then start with "sorry bout that, it's this...".

Own the mistake, learn from it, let others learn from it. But dont waste everyone's time
