Slide Editing: TYPES OF SLIDES

ISSUE!  I accidently added a "new type" of text that didn't exist - "rising" (this already existed as "scrolling").  This was also caused by confusing "growing" with "bold".

The fix is pretty simple.  replace all rising with growing.  replace all current "growing" with bold.  Animoto also added a "clean slate" style that might come in handy if some of the bolds are too strong.. but probably better just to replace them with a growing, scrolling, or typing.

SCROLLING, typing, GROWING, and BOLD.  There is no rising.  And there IS a bold

Crossing out script to make slides fit

So, the trick here is EVERY SLIDE needs to START with the text matching the audio.  It's kind of like the first sentence of the paragraph being the most important sentence as it describes the paragraph.  If you don't start with these matching, it's awkward, because the slide shows text right away that isn't reflecting the audio yet.

QUICK FIX: Anywhere there is currently cross-out text to start a slide, move that text to the slide above it.

Timing Slides

Works really well as long as they can be 95% good.  If you need 100% perfection you have to do slides 1 by 1... but that takes FOREVER... so for VLP2, timing is great.

EVEN WHEN THERE'S NO CROSS OUTS!  This slows things down slightly because you have to fine tune the exact positions of the slides more, but it's really easy editing... you're literally just adjusting slide positions slightly and adding fades.

If anything, simply round DOWN when you time slides.  Black space is always okay with this editing style.

Final Editing

You'll want to make sure the starts of sentences are capitalized, etc, so you can literally get all slides created on Animoto within an hour.

I would literally do a full listen through and clean up the text as you go, that way you can see if the words on the slides are matching what I'm actually saying.

CDC 6 Day 5

5p - 7p

06:00 - 07:00: Obj.2.1c (6.5/10)


BEFORE TIMING OUT ANY MORE SLIDES, EDIT THE FIRST 5 MIN IN TO MAKE SURE THE METHODOLOGY IS ON POINT!!!!!

CDC 6 Day 4

5p - 6:30p

05:30 - 06:30: Obj.2.1c (5.5/15)

+2 Int.Setup - Re-acquire Lost Training

Put 2 more hours here to get back lost training.

Go through phone memos, gmail, this blog, and any written docs.

PRIMARILY use the LABELS aNLP, mindfulness, meditation, discipline, etc (Why?  EX: http://entrepreneurisback.blogspot.com/2017/05/next-steps-for-mental-mastery-anlp.html)

This involves really thinking about the concepts, not breezing over.  There are things like bob and weave mechanics, truely wanting pain & being in touch with why, etc that are missing.

Deleting emails instead of sending to cut out DISTRACTIONS

Standard JUSTIFICATIONS / TROLLS that were well known and have slipped back into hiding, controlling me from my blind spots.

Get a sense of how to win the size game again, and if / why you really want that.  The effort illusion is real.

CDC 6 Day 3

5p - 7p

06:00 - 07:00: Obj.2.1c (4.5/15)

Just pulled 5 hrs from Obj.2.5 - salesletter for CFI... seeing as im essentially doing the sales letter in this vid now...

CDC 6 Day 2

5p - 7p

06:00 - 07:00: Obj.2.1c (3.5/10)

Why 30m Meditation Per Day?

Switching to a "30 min per day" commitment is much more flexible and fitting, allowing me to give it my true commitment.

But why give true commitment - an unreasonable, unforgiving level of dedication - to a seemingly silly exercise?

Meditation & Landmark go hand-in-hand.  Mindfulness, enlightened by the insights of Landmark, allow you to live in the real world and escape your own stories and meaning making mechanisms.  

Now the 2018 goal of 3min-per-hour-average of mindfulness has a purpose - it means I am constantly coming off it and generating the "nothingness" from which I can engage in whatever possibilities I want.

If the power of landmark is nothing, mindfulness is the tool that allows you to generate that power.  It puts the power of landmark in your hands over and over again every day.  From there, you can actually achieve things like your "deal-work goals", once the possibility / "how" is figured out.

It's also worth noting that in the past, I was so inconsistent with mindfulness it literally was a waste of time.  Looking at the 10 weeks of Q1, counting for NAs, I actually averaged 15.5% frame integrity on my meditations.  15%!!!  At that rate, mental mastery is a hopeless pipe dream of despair.

Now that I'm truely committed - and expect to see #'s in the 90's - I can resume the path of mental mastery.  When you work out daily, you BUILD muscle - when you meditate daily, you BUILD your mind.  

Why 30m meditation per day?  Because the most important thing I can build is my mind, and mediation is a sure fire way of doing it.
