Welcome to Episode 134 of my podcast The view from the crow's nest, and it is Saturday the 17th of October 2020. And I'm feeling better than I was yesterday, which is good. Obviously it's nice to feel better. I think the last night or this morning. One of the two but I remembered something so simple, so obvious that you know that helped me today and that is, I realised why I felt so I think I realised partly why I felt so productive or not focused or whatever the last few weeks and I'm not getting anywhere etc etc. and scattered and it's simply because I am too scattered. What a reveal in the sense of. I have been trying to do too many things some things I needed to do some things I wanted to do something I had to do, but just too much stuff and trying to spin too many plates and I forgot that, you know, a few months ago when I was feeling like I was making progress on stuff, the simple reason I think was because I was just focusing on one thing and you know one project really getting that sorted and what have you. And so today, you know this morning I was I right well focus on, you know just just focus on getting the calendar out the way that's the first thing. You know I did it a couple of, you know, a couple of things come after that but you know just focus on that and so I mean, to be fair, I'd kind of almost finished the calendar anyway. But the other thing that made me feel good is that I put it out. I put 22 photos together. out there as a shortlist and I need 13 for the calendar and then I put them as a vote on my Facebook group and then emailed a mailing list to let people know that there's that vote and they can vote which photos they want in the calendar. And I think that also really made me feel better the fact that, you know, putting something out there for people, a bit of work rather than just noise and being sort of visible and active. You know makes me feel better as well. So that really you know that's something that's really helped. And also I like the idea that I'm very close to getting there. Canada kind of out of the way and then I can focus on the next project but I think it's really simple. I just need to remind myself one major project at a time you know that's that's it just focus, get it done, move it out of the way. I know genius right. What news. And he hasn't been the app which was amazing. I woke up before everybody else was similar already been up twice during the night the Leonardo but she was currently asleep because he amazingly went back to sleep or whatever it was six or whatever that he woke up the second time. And so similar in that sleep. So at 10 past seven I woke up I thought okay well I can't just get working because they'll disturb similar because you know my desk is everything's in our bedroom. So what can I do here I thought well we've just bought these bikes secondhand so you know, maybe I'll take the bike out first time because I'm saying you know you really should get out, you really should get some fresh air do some exercise outside and blah blah blah I thought what a. What a lovely way to start the day that'd be great. So we are right on the edge of the biggest National Park in Italy and right next to our apartment is a cycle. by gravelled psychopath or atomic psychopath. That starts literally here, and then goes on for the how many kilometres but he goes into the mountains and then he winds its way through to villages and what. And so it starts up here quite steep goes on for a while that into the mountains and then it kind of levels out. And I thought to myself, well, let me cycle up 15 minutes, see how far I get. And then, you know, and I can cycle down so I set time 15 minutes I'm cycling the bike up and it's hard work really hard work, but I was really pleased I was able to go for 15 minutes. And I got to the top, basically, the main first sections is literally just uphill for 15 minutes, and like a good gradient to not just smoke. So I got to the top and then it started
