CDC 6 Day 42

8:30a - 2:30p ; 4:30p - 5:30p

09:00 - 10:00: Obj.3.1a (1/4)
10:00 - 11:00: Obj.3.1a (2/4)
11:00 - 12:00: Obj.3.1a (3/4)
12:00 - 01:00: Su.Lunch (7/10)
01:00 - 01:30: Chores
01:30 - 02:30: Obj.3.1a (4/4)
02:30 - 04:30: Break
04:30 - 05:30: Obj.3.1b (1/20)


Next Step 1 - Finish Outline of Videos 3-5

I have created an outline - now I need to REVIEW all the old content, and think through what I want to create, and get a full picture.  Really set up a beautiful sketch and scaffold, you know?

Next Step 2 - Obj 3.1 Needs to be broken down into chunks

That's the only way I'll be able to press myself to "good enough" deadlines

MUST LOOK AT 'GOOD ENOUGH' CONCEPT FIRST!!!!  So break it up via this concept.  That is my next step after finishing the outline.

Realistic Time Scales:

3.1a Outlining: 4 hours

3.1b Writing: 20 hours
  • Video 1 - 10 hours (since self-therpy section needs research)
  • Video 2 - 4 hours (since mostly done already)
  • Video 3 - 6 hours
3.1c Recording: 5 hours 
  • 45m per video, can record in double that
3.1d Editing Audio: 5 hours 
  • Should be able to beat 5 hours, but definitely shouldn't take longer since I will mostly just be trusting the audio and simply cutting out gaps and repeats.
3.1e PowerPoint Slides: 10 hours
  • Cutting the text and breaking up into 50-100 slides per video shouldn't take long at all.  I can do that super sloppy.  However, getting the pictures in, touching up diagrams, and making it look the way I want will slow it down.  This is where "good enough" is going to really need to get implemented.
3.1f Reviewing / Final Tweaks: 4 hours.

3.1g Uploading: 2 hours.

TOTAL: 50 hours.



Power-point & Audio

Read the audio into the sound booth as normal, BUT

I recommend pausing between each Paragraph and editing out the gaps.  It allows me to setup and sound great each time.

5p - 6p

05:00 - 06:00: Obj.2.1c (45.5/40.5)

Made a few edits, logged the ones that require a few slides be redone, but other than that, it is AMAZING.  Tomorrow I'll make the final round of edits before publishing the first draft... and next week we'll move on to the product videos.

Out sick yesterday, recovering today, want to recover from breakdown and get back on track.  Restore integrity.

To prevent similar breakdowns, I have modified to morning ritual.  NOTE MEDITATION IS NOW REQUIRED AND COMES BEFORE REVIEW PACKET.

NEW Morning Ritual


Discipline Requires for Integrity:

  • Be out of bed by 4:35am M-TH / 7:05am SUN
  • Have drank water and started shave/hair by 4:40am M-TH
  • Have started shower (or long teeth) by 7:10am SUN
  • At least 5 minutes of workout M-TH @ gym.
  • At least 5 minutes of meditation:
    • M-TH - Must be completed by 7:00am
    • SU - Must be completed by 8:00am


There is NO ROUNDING: 5:06 & 7:11 are no good.  You are either starting your day with a bang or you are not.

You MUST meet all requirements - including 5 min workout minimum (M-TH) & 5 min meditation (Everyday).

Additional Commitments

No more circle plus on Saturdays for the remainder of Q2 please.

No more Rust prior to lunch on Sundays.

Video 2 Nearing Completion

The video is now 100% filled with slides / video.

The powerpoint slideshow (particularly the first 10-20s of it) needs a little work still.

Still need to do a full watch through and make any last minute tweaks.

But... that's about it.  We're pretty much done. 2-4 hours and it's a wrap.
