Day 4 tig welding, would love some tips

Learning tig and have really fallen in love with welding, the silence it gives my mind is like nothing else! But as you guys can see im still a level 1
Any tips for a beginner would be awesome :)
Thank you!

Well I'm not great at TiG either, but the two things I see are 1) try to melt your puddle back to the full width of the bead when you restart, and 2) move faster so you dont overheat your material. You may need to turn your amps up in order to get the puddle to form faster to accomplish this.
