Slides

-Need to make sure audio editing completed first right?

 -not necessary...

1. Get to slides

-What needs to be done with audio editing before i even start slides & why?

-Audio is close enough that it is ready for slides.

-This will also help fine tune edits - if i missed a repeating sentence, its caught when i put in the slide
   -Also, this way I dont need to have script open, as slides will show where I am, making all editing easier.

2. Figure out how to do slides

-Color theme to match web
   -will final web be white?
       -go with standard blue and orange theme.  Works and saves time,right?
          -yes.  fuck it.  web theme will adjust to fit the blue and orange theme later

-Working with animoto:
  -slides will NOT match up perfectly, just get them close so they snap in by using the time clock from your main editor
      -this is also 100x faster than trying to "preview" every slide... that would take FOREVER.
           -EVEN LIKE THIS, IT STILL TAKES 2X+ LONGER than the traditional slides method, since these slides are set to the AUDIO, not the script (the can't be edited much once rendered.)

-animoto tricks you into see "white space" that does not exist in storyboard mode.  see preview to clear this one up.

3. Preview & Evaluating how to do them right
-First mistake - this is not a simple copy and paste of the text.  That's BORING.
  -Even if you change the slide style every time, it won't be great.  It'll just be oddly hooking

-Rewatched X video - they are using WAAAY less words.
  -Basically...
     -Only a couple of highlighted words (selling points)
     -Diagrams and very basic images illustrating their idea (explaining with both pictures and words)
     -Thought out "PRESENTATION" of material.
     -Power-point style of .... wait... did you say... power... point..................
        -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kr2oEwNsoM
           -Little "Jaimie loses his shit" freakout occurs.
              -Bro, the text effects aren't exactly "standard power point" and it's not like you wouldn't have to make your own pictures anyway.  That'd STILL be the hard part, dummy.  Calm down.

 4. Re-framing: Think of it as a presentation, or a "show" - look at it again using the above (first three points, not the powerpoint shenanigans.)

Put into practice... it takes FOREVER... but GRABS ATTENTION like no other.  AIDA FOR REAL.

Effective Immediately: Frame Integrity & "Showing up on time"

Showed up for morning ritual?

Only gets a "Y" if you are following schedule within 15 minutes (ex. Sunday: wakeup is 7:30 - only pass if on schedule by 7:45.  7:47 is NO GOOD!)

Showed up for workout?

Only gets a "Y" if walking through gym entrance doors BEFORE 3:38pm.

Showed up for all meditations?

Only gets a "Y" if final meditation is started BEFORE 6:08pm.

Showed up for CDH?

Only gets a "Y" if either blog post or meditation is started BEFORE:

-SUNDAY: 9:08am and didn't stop before 2pm.

-M-TH: 5:08pm OR 6:08pm (rule is 5pm unless a switch to 6pm is determined in advance.)

As far as CDH integrity, as long as you work an hour, you get a Y - 100%, no half-credits.  It's pass or fail.  Doesn't matter if you do it midnight to 1 in the morning -- the only consquence of this is that FRAME INTEGRITY takes a hit.

This way, I am switching to a more sensible system.  Instead of doing the confusing "I worked 12 hours, but only get 50% 'integrity' because I showed up 8 minutes late", I am doing the "I worked 12 hours and obviously got the "PASS" on the integrity for 'doing what I said I would do', however I didn't keep to my schedule so a got a "FAIL" on integrity for 'showing up when I said I would'.

Switching from a single, convoluted system, to a checks and balances SET of systems that work together in a way that makes perfect sense and doesn't cause issues.

"DO NOT WANT" Troll is a problem on Sundays

Bedtime Schedule - early beginnings

It is time we being focusing on a bedtime routine that is more disciplined and promotes better sleep.

8pm is the cut-off for hour long Sarah convo's.  You can talk to her after this time, but only with the goal of cutting it off within 30 minutes.

815 is the cutoff for longer intimate sessions - after 815 intimacy needs to involve tracking the time.  830-845 is "quickie" period - go for the goal as fast as possible, no exploring new things after 830.  845 is a cutoff of all intimacy.

830 is hard cutoff of ALL entertainment.  This INCLUDES new science documentaries, fascinations, and obsessions (like trying to teach myself the concept of imaginary numbers, exploring the 4th spacial dimension, watching advanced quantum theory lessons, etc.)  After that, ONLY re-watch documentaries in the space science folder.  I know you want new things.  I know the old things are getting boring.  That's the point!  Relax and enjoy.

9pm is bed time.  Always be IN BED by 9, with the standard "round down" grace period.

As I think of more things I will include them here.

This all depends on ending work and work related things (like "touching the stats") at 7pm.  Again, round down rule applies, but this MUST be done or I won't sleep well.

Habit Gravity & The Significance of a Morning Ritual

"

The above table shows a time period long enough to know for certain that habits have been set in place.

You can see what kind of habits those are.

They will continue indefinitely unless changed.

And change WILL TAKE ANOTHER 30 DAYS.

That means you WILL START Q4 NATURALLY SMALL.

Starting to ramp up for Q4 now is important.  Vacation time is NOT important, I'm not overwhelmed or over worked.  I've been working 40-50 hour weeks which pretty much IS a vacation for me.  I feel fresh.

So it's time to start Q4 now.  Like last year when I had a ramp up week.  Except this time Q4 ramp up week is also the final week of Q3.  And like any ramp up week, the scores don't factor in to Q4's final #'s.  They just factor into Q3's final #'s.

...

Morning Ritual.  Let's review and make a Q4 decision on whether or not it will be word, and if it is word, then the significance of word must be reviewed.

It's pretty clear that I've lost all grasp on Landmark's concept of what it is to give your word and the significance of it.

WORD:

The point of giving your word, as landmark defined, is to take the human BS out of the picture completely so that all that remains is the sentient being.

It's saying that when you wake up, it doesn't matter if you are 99% adamantly against doing a morning ritual.  It means that none of that even factors in.  It means that the sentient being takes control and walks the human through the motions regardless of what it's thinking or what it's feelings are, or how strong all of that is.

As long as it's not crazy, the choice WILL be followed and won't be reasoned with, stopped, or delayed on account of the human nature that is tethered to the sentient being within.

It's the only "true integrity" because it's the only integrity that will not be reasoned with.  It's true discipline.

And THAT'S what I've lost completely.

As long as that's not important to me, the morning ritual is a lost cause.  So it's time to choose.

Rediscovered this little gem on socialnetworkingchallenge.blogspot.com and it's pretty much the whole game right here so I figured I'd repost.

Kind of neat that I've spent years becoming an excellent cold caller :).

GOALS

This is the project for the rest of Q3 (meaning this week since this is the last week) in the spirit of ramping up for an EPIC Q4.

I have a list of 19 OBJECTIVES.  The goal will be to complete them all in Q4 so I can get to traffic in early 2017.

Part of the goal will be to sort other obstacles and objectives into a list of "to do later" so I train myself to stay consistent to the objectives at hand.

19 Objectives.  12 weeks, 10 Sundays, 150 hours.  Can I pull it off?

How will you complete them on time?

If this were a school project and it was DUE by 12/21/2016, how would you make sure it gets completed?

Let's get in the mentality of making an EPIC Q4.

NO MORE EXCUSES -- if any task is worthy of more time, and that'll set you behind, then get a "good enough" draft version done and list the additional stuff / final draft that you want to do as a new objective to be completed at a future date.

Q4 is going to be about completing EVERY item on the list.  Even if they all look like SHIT and only work on certain PCs and need more work... get them DONE.

Any set backs, additional objectives, obstacles, etc. go on the list for getting done AFTER these 19 core objectives.

This will keep me pushing for a large size instead of using new obstacles as an excuse to fall behind.  As long as I can allow that to happen I'll NEVER be successful as an entrepreneur or get to the size I need to be at to succeed as a business owner.

By making it my goal to get a "first pass" version of every item done within a time period, I'll have a much better idea about how to set my goals for the final draft versions, since I'll have dabbled enough in everything to get a good sense of the scale of how much work lies ahead.

Use this for help guiding you:

...and make final goals on this page (and make them WAAAY sexier looking, please):

Other goals for THIS WEEK:

• Make the Daily Review sheets (BOTH, ROARS, and LEAF... and make a packet for Roars that is BOTH + ROARS + REST OF PACKET, and a packet for leaf that is BOTH + LEAF + REST OF PACKET.)
• Morning Ritual more clearly written out step by step (including time for washing hands and mouth-guard, putting on music, etc) so that starting Monday, October 3rd, Q4 follows MY WORD 100%.
