Welcome to Episode 210 of my podcast The view from the crow's nest, and it is Thursday, the fourth of February, 2021. And today, I woke up again so 630 raring to go, which I never thought would be a sentence, I'd say with any kind of enthusiasm. So the you know the earlier nights had most definitely working or that in that I think I slept till 11 last night which. The great thing is now seems like late, whereas previously two o'clock in the morning would seem a bit more like late so that's good. But then one thing and another. I didn't get started working. And then in the end, Simona and I had a discussion about routines and about structure and whatnot because there's always so much to do as an individual as a couple as a family. And with the house. Work etc. And I might be being naive but I'm convinced that there's a way to fit it all in. And that convinced this, because that is a word. I'm sure is tied into systems and shadows and routines and habits. And I'm sure there's a way of combining them all in a way that works for us that unlocks the optimum use of time to be productive and constructive in all the ways that we want to be. So we discussed off this morning, we've got a new plan, which pretty much involves getting working straight away when we wake up and trying to finish work by about two o'clock have lunch and then have the rest of the afternoon off. So probably starting work at seven and working through till two. As a general rule of thumb, but also cause I quite like to try and work in one to two days off or ideally two days off a week. Family days out and whatnot. So, I don't know what seven till two. That also includes time for exercise as well. So we'll see. So we've got a plan we discussed it with the kids, mean had some very good questions Leonardo had some very good monologues, of which was the I wanted to join in the discussions that I was sure I followed the thread of most of them because they involve grandma's house. So I'm not sure how that related to our routine but it was good. And then when I did start getting working you know worked on music. I did the hour of music to start the day with which was really cool. The only frustrating thing was that the work that I did was working on. Basically the new drums for song number. 11 on the album. And after all the work I did I don't think I'm going to keep what I did. So, it was productively unproductive. You know, I got closer to what's right I just don't know what's right yet. But obviously, I'd like to have made more concrete progress with that. But you know it's coming along and putting in the time that again habit, you know it's forming system, doing an hour, hour 15, you know it's it's working on moving forward with that. Outside of that you know i client add to running, which is good, starting to get results for one of the new clients that's really positive. Now, there'll be the, the necessity of explaining to them or going, you know, going through ways that they can then profit by the results that we're getting. So that's another stage sent a website off to another client. So we'll get their feedback hopefully in the next few days and. Fingers crossed. They won't want too much change but we'll see. Or at least, hopefully they'll be happy with the basics of it and then we'll go from there. So you know those are those are positive. Didn't get through once again, didn't get through my task list though for the day, and also didn't do my kind of hour which I'd normally would do after, after the music didn't do an hour of like marketing where I'm promoting my own stuff so that was kind of lacking a bit today. Fact by the time I finished music photography he's talking this morning I did my hour or so music and then at lunchtime. And then my father in law came over just at the end of lunch, it was his birthday yesterday, and he brought some sweeties some pastries, which were tasty but probably shouldn't have eaten them. And then by the time that will finished
