43F Podcast: The 'to have done list'

43 Folders: The 'to have done list' (mp3)

Inaugural podcast. Be patient with me.

Don't get freaked out by the items on your to-do list; think of your tasks in terms of what they'll mean to you once they're done. (02:44)

Euphonious!

I concur with the comments above regarding brevity (short is good) and focus (you sounded nicely prepared and it comes through in quality).

A very good model for me to follow as I think about my own future podcasting.

(One note for others & my future self: it's under 3 minutes. Just close your eyes, take your hands off the keyboard and listen. Trying to absorb the contents of a podcast while reading email, etc. makes you bad at both tasks. Besides, it's good to take a break from typing.)

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
