Do you sometimes feel you have to THINK BIG all the time and fill each day with audacious activities? I’m working on not thinking like that, at least not for a while.

My first quarter 2022 goal is to make significant progress on mastering the technical and workflow aspects of taping and posting podcast episodes. It takes a lot of little steps to do that, and it can be a bit tedious. So, I’m experimenting with doing very small projects to test each phase.

Sort of a Minimum Viable Activity.

I’m doing just enough of something to test a process or tool but not so much that it causes me to hesitate spending time on it.

The idea is to go ahead and make a mistake, learn, and move on…getting better each day.

That’s why I’m currently doing these short solo episodes.

They take a fraction of the time of a long-form interview, and I’m learning lessons that will help me make the longer shows faster and better.

This is a very brief episode that took about twenty-five or thirty minutes to outline and it’s only about 253 words. But it makes a point and I get to practice all of the production steps. One small step at a time.

So, what’s the take-a-way for you? Try breaking project down into the smallest possible segments, and work on improving one little bit at a time.

It sounds like fun. Thanks for listening.
