Welcome Welcome to Episode Seven of my podcast. The view from the crow's nest. And it's Friday night, and it is episode seven so that means I've completed a week, the first week of my daily podcast. So I want to thank everybody who's listened cording to anchor the app that I recorded into. There's an estimated audience of three people. And so to each and every one of you three I say thank you very much for listening I massively appreciate it. And I really don't take it for granted, and maybe in the future somebody listening to this episode will be the fourth maybe there'll be the 400th. I don't know but each and every person, I am very, very grateful for. So thank you very much for listening, and as I said in the very first episode, a week ago. I jokingly said, This podcast is the view from the crow's nest, aka distracting my monkey mind. And the reason being, the monkey mind is the part of you that just wants to be busy and if it's busy then it's happy because it's doing something but perhaps it's not doing the thing that you actually really need to be doing and we've all been there. So I have this kind of, oh I need to be busy I should be doing something bla bla bla and this monkey mind mentality and doing these daily podcasts was my way of distracting the monkey mind itself and going Hmm, I am doing something and I'm keeping you busy, but it's also a way of keeping a record for myself of my thoughts and ideas and how I'm thinking on things as I progress and as they change, and also hopefully, giving you a little bit of, if not entertainment, if not something interesting ideally, something of value some things to think about some concepts some ideas, maybe something that will help you in business or help you with your family or help you in travelling I don't know because I don't know you. Exactly. But whatever it is, if I can help in any way even just by planting a seed of an idea then that'll be awesome. So, this episode I'm just going to talk about a few seeds of ideas that I've been thinking about this week and maybe some will resonate with you maybe they weren't so let's get into it only gonna be a couple. In no particular order. This week I have been trying, I've organised myself in a different way. I've been working on an idea of done by one then fund basically my morning, I focus for the first few hours, purely on the most important singular project that I've got to do which at the moment is called grip the sky experience which is a music project that I'm working on for an EP launch. That will be in a couple of should be ready in a few weeks. But, so I do that for the first couple hours every day before I check email before I do anything after that it's an hour of, so of admin which is checking replying to emails and messages and also by admin and talking also about web development and stuff as well you know, making sure that this websites running or adding this thing to that website or what have you. And then it gets about one o'clock lunchtime. And then after that, and here's the here's the key part after that is fun and by fun. That could mean doing more work it could mean doing no work it could mean doing anything, but he's really important thing and after a week of doing it something I'm really am appreciating and didn't expect. I feel so much more relaxed, by taking the pressure off myself that I don't have to achieve so much with every day. Previously, I'd have a day schedule, which would be like, you know, wake up. Do 1520 minutes of Italian practice. And then you'd be 15 minutes or an hour or practice, you know, ear training exercises for music, and then I would get up and then I would do exercise for an hour and then I would you know have breakfast. and then I'd get into work and I'd do emails I do all this stuff and then my work would last pretty much all the day. And then I think are but I haven't practice guitar I haven't practised vocals, but I. So I was always under this constant pressure from myself. A
