Welcome to Episode 135 of my podcast. The view from the crow's nest, and it is Sunday the 18th of October 2020, and I've just spent two and a half hours on the phone to my brother. And so this one's gonna be quick, because I want to get to bed at 10 past 11 tired, had a good day today are built on yesterday's Good day, by doing something really simple, which is staying in bed, the whole day no yesterday and today I didn't get out of bed until I'd made a plan for the day but not like a whole plan of 2pm I'm gonna do this or bla bla, much more simple. I literally just thought, Okay, what is the one thing that if I achieve today focus on and achieve and get finished today, I can finish in the whole day. And then, therefore no matter what else happens with my day. I feel like I've achieved something and now be good. And of course I came up with four things. So you left out. But no, the idea was the least that very main thing. And then the second the third things might have been like, because I knew that the first thing wouldn't take me all day and I'd select time, and then maybe the third or fourth thing we're just bonuses if I go round to it, and actually got three of those four things done. So, I felt like yeah, I want the whole day but in fact probably that's why I felt good because I work the whole day and I really focused and, you know, got important things done so. The my calendar. The 2021 wall calendar of my photography. Yesterday I put up 22 photos on Facebook for people to pick the top 13 that will make it to the calendar I've already edited the photos. So they're basically ready to go. And then today. I did the months like the the actual you know the calendar part of it. So I got all of those 12 months ready. And I placed them in the template that you'd use for the printers. And so they're done, so that's brilliant, the calendar once those 13 are picked I can put them in the template and basically it's ready to go to the printers and Bosch, so I'm very chuffed about that because that's like a big project. Very nearing completion, and I've done definitely the bulk of the hardware there. Then the next thing was the second big thing, which was the world schooling hub which has been on the back burner for the last bunch of months. And if you don't know what that is. It's. Eventually, the idea will be it's a platform a suite of tools that are there to help world schoolers principally with things like connecting with other world schoolers and with educating their kids, which is the travelling, here are the two things really that world school is all about. And so I built a platform. Earlier this year, which basically if you imagine it's like Google Maps, but instead of pins being places pins of people, and then you click on someone's profile, and then they've got a telegram link and you click that and you can start dropping a message. And the idea being that you can basically find people near where you are or where you're travelling to or whatnot. Amazingly, no one has built anything like that before we needed it so I built it. And then, then, just as pretty much as I built it coronavirus happened everyone stopped travelling and then other things took precedence. So now I want to re. Earlier we want to bring that out again. And the idea was that we would eventually it was free but we would offer a membership, an annual membership. And part of that membership would get you secure like a Id check basically. And then if you had your ID checked then you'd have a badge next to you to say that you'd been ID checked, and therefore other people might see that say oh I only want to meet up with people who ID checked I better get my ID checked and therefore I will join the, the membership for the site and get the other benefits as well but that's a really good one. So that was the plan, and then. Recently we decided that actually we were going to offer it for free. We're just going to go straight to the ID checks and straight for the pa
