Description

Welcome to Episode 206 of my podcasts Have you from the crow's nest, and it is Sunday 31st of January 2021. And it is a tax state tax due date in a couple hours, which I will come to in a second. But first, it's the evening time is 930 in the evening, and yesterday on the podcast, I said, I'm gonna do these in the morning, maybe work out better now. Stop forgetting about them on occasion. And what did I do? I forgot entirely this morning. That that was the plan. I was I guess so focused on just getting up and getting on with work. I completely forgot that I was doing podcasts in the morning, but at least I've remembered now. So I'm doing it tonight. Hopefully I'll do it again tomorrow morning. And I guess that won't really be much to say tomorrow morning. Anywho. There was something that I did yesterday, which is kind of really what this podcast is more to be talking about, I guess. So maybe I'll just do that about yesterday. And then tomorrow morning I'll talk about today. We'll see. But I I tried a new experiment with my work because I always find myself thinking that I don't have enough time to fit everything in. And that's probably because I like to really want to fit a lot of things in and I had a call I don't know who was actually really To be fair, but I got invited to join this thing called lunch club, I think 100 Club dot something. And basically, you can choose how many you want to but you do video call meetings with people and they can be random. You can or you can decide who you want and you can specify criteria about them that you want to meet with certain people. And they say and I guess Entrepreneurs or business people or executives or whatever, but there are all sorts of people on it. And I thought, you know, this is a good idea, you know, networking with people from the comfort of your own home. So I do one of these meetings every Thursday now at lunchtime, and I was talking to this person, this girl on Thursday. And one of the questions asked her was, what sort of projects you're working on at the moment, blah, blah, blah, was a big thing. And then she asked me, and I replied with, you know, a few things that I'm doing. And she was like, Wow, that's a lot of things and I kind of guess it's easy to forget. You know, not just me, but you You yourself, everybody, whoever, it's easy to forget what we do and how much we are doing. And actually often it's quite a lot. And for me personally, you know, I find that there's so much I still want to do, no matter how much I'm doing. So I have this perennial problem of trying to get stuff done and I'm trying to move away from one, the mindset that don't have enough time because half of it is mindset. And the other half of that is being not being organised enough. So, I decided I'm going to do something very simple. I put a timer on my computer and I set it to one hour. And then I decided to try and allocate one hour to each kind of project. You know, that needs doing that day. So the day before this was yesterday, the day before on Friday, I had gone into my like task management tool and tried to organise myself a bit better. All the projects that I'm working on, you know, getting tasks and putting them on there giving them some due dates. The idea Being that my working day should really be open this tool. It's called nifty, open nifty, see what's on my task list for the day and do them. And if those tasks are for a particular project, let's say a client or an album or something like that and then group them together and work Call them for an hour. And then when the hours up, move on to the next thing, whether you've kind of finished or not. So I did that with yesterday and I had really good success with it. And I actually started the day by and this what I'm planning to do for the seeable future is start the day working on my own music because that's been taken such a backseat once again for the last six weeks. And if I don't do it first thing then I get embroiled in all
