Welcome one and three to Episode 14 of my podcast The view from the crow's nest 14 that is two weeks in. I have completed a little milestone there. And why do I say one and three. It's like one and all except one and three on account that my estimated audience according to anchor is three people. So, I have think I've managed to lose a viewer on anchor, although on YouTube, it seems to be gone up so who knows. But, I mentioned that one because I'm massively grateful to all three of you who are listening into my podcast and I think one of them is my wife's and it might only be two of you. But nonetheless, that's awesome. Thank you for choosing to spend some time with me. And I also love it because I had an email from somebody and they referenced the podcasts they referenced done by one then fun, and that was just super super cool because it was just real yeah felt really cool like wow somebody is actually listening to this this is great. And, and trying to use some of the ideas which is even better. But the reason I mentioned that as I say, I'm super grateful to you but also because as I said in I believe the very first episode. One of the reasons for me doing this podcast is actually, because it's very very quick way and I've said this a few times. It's a very very quick and efficient way for me to effectively keep a journal and be able to go back and track my thoughts or ideas. You know, over time, and another kind of byproduct of that is by putting it out publicly, I kind of make myself accountable. So when I'm talking about new projects and I'm working on new ideas. My hope is that people kind of pull me up on it in either just checking in, you know, how's it going with the sky experience for example or people saying, Ah, you said that you're going to be doing this in two weeks or three weeks or eight weeks or whatever, and it's not done yet what's going on. Because when you're doing when you're working on your own, you're kind of working in a vacuum. And it's very easy to push deadlines back or just go do that later and not get around to it again and not finish projects and stuff. So, part of the reason for doing this was also for that accountability to other people to myself, etc. And so, as a result, two weeks in, I wanted to effectively give you give myself a bit of a recap, or a report on where, where I'm at. So a couple of weeks ago, along with this podcast I started a new routine which you've heard me talk about before, which is done by one firm, meaning that I focus my work in the morning and then effectively try and take the afternoon off, but having that boundary of time means that I really am kind of more focused because I seem to be more productive, because I don't have the you know the irony being that when you have less time to do something you tend to actually get it done. The more time you have it, Parkinson's Law something, the more time you have to do something, the more the task expands to fill that time or something like that. And in that time period I've been trying to focus on just one project my most important project, and really start finishing. I keep saying it's by the book stuff finished that I've read recently was by Chuck, Chris Gill kids nice Charlie Gilkey, but I'm sure you found anyway. And as a consequence, the, the project that I've been focused on for the last two weeks. Every morning, Monday to Friday, has been the grip the sky experience. And I also at the same time, I got this new software which is product, project management software and I put a milestone, two weeks to finish this part of the grip the sky experience which is basically developing on the back end. and it's been going really well, but my estimate was too short. It's gonna take me three weeks, I think, so I'm saying that now here by publicly and also for me to find later to see whether my estimate is accurate or not. And this brings me on to kind of another point. Well I just finished the grip this guy experience it's comi
