   Do Weekly Pod E066: Get Your Headshots

   Welcome to year one of the quarantine! Year one!? Let’s hope it’s just one year. Because this is not year fun, 2020 can go home. You’ll notice that when you listen to this, it’s April. 2020. And yet we’re still talking about Analog January and if you’re keeping score that shit was back in January 2020. We finally finished it out. We had to make some stuff for this challenge, which is the last bit we covered for Analog January. I’ve been drawing a lot. In fact, you can see that here… Aside from drawing, I have also been making As for Natalie, she’s a crafty gal. She’s making me a blanket and has been baking a lot, doing the whole cookie route which I whole-heartedly approve of. Natalie also opined… The amount of happiness in your life is directly related to how many hours you spend in a “state of flow.”Natalie MacLees or some other person What is a state of flow? According to Wikipedia: In positive psychology, a flow state, also known colloquially as being in the zone, is the mental state in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. The short of it is to find activities that you enjoy and lose yourself in the process; that means your mind is content Educational Product Check-in Natalie has been a beast about building out her course out. She is building an accessible site and then a non-accessible site, each is taking a long time to build out. I have not done a damn thing about my educational product. =( Next Week’s Challenge Headshots. It’s not just something you get excited about when you shoot an opponent in the head while playing Call of Duty with your friends. It’s probably the one thing that should be on your website that isn’t your personality. What is that? You guessed it, a damn headshot! Yep, we’re getting our headshots did. Given that we’re in a pandemic now, this is going to be extra challenging. If you don’t live with a professional hairstylist, then you gotta go full metal FLOWBEE. I tell you, it doesn’t get much better than that. Amirite? Also, having access to a professional photographer is always groovy, too. But that’s not always possible. If that’s the case for you then consider using your phone’s portrait mode. What else are you going to do? Keep it doable and we’ll see you next week! Need help?

   Episode 065: Analog January, Part 5

   Welcome back, dear listeners to yet another episode of Do Weekly Podcast-ery. Are you ready to level up and become more awesome? We kick off this week with some serious failures. Natalie shares a tale of woe. She promised a client of hers that she would get something done. She told the client not to touch the site until the thing was done. The client was like cool beans. The client even had a couple of people standing by for notification when they could use the site again. But Natalie dropped the ball and didn’t get the thing done. Life happened and she kinda forgot about the thing she had to do. Nat’s client was okay with everything but was less than pleased. Here’s the thing folks. Everybody poops. We all mess up. You just have to own your mistakes. I’ve nuked client databases on live; I’ve sent frothy angry emails accidentally to the wrong people. Don’t worry folks, our challenge this week isn’t to mess up and piss off your clients. Nope! Last Week’s Challenge We’re late. So sorry. Even though it’s April, we’re STILL doing the whole Analog January Challenge (https://doweeklypodcast.com/analog-january/). This week we talk about moving, be out in the world without your phone for fifteen minutes. COVID-19 of course says that we should all be staying home or observing social distance. So keep that in mind when you’re deciding to go out and do something active. That said, we talked about moving and getting outside without our phones. I was fine with this before the Pandemic hit. Natalie did well, too, but opted to keep her phone on her for safety reasons. In fact, you can use this time of increased home bodied-ness to do meditation or even yoga. Something that helps you clear your mind and address any anxiety that surely exists in these crazy times we’re living in. Educational Course Update I have not worked on my course, since everything that’s been going on. Plus, I had a project that required a lot of attention. So I haven’t made any progress and I just haven’t gotten things finished. As for Natalie, she got stopped up on a large chapter. She’s doing an ebook on accessibility for small business owners. She got stopped on creating content due to the inherent complexity of writing about accessibility for small biz owners. Next Week’s Challenge The challenge is to use the time we have now to get things done and push the educational product across the finish line. Need help?

   Episode 064: Analog January, Part 4

   Howdy ho, Children of the Corn! Welcome back to another week of the Do Weekly Podcast. We kick off this week’s episode by talking about bugs in your ear. We’re straight-up talking about nasty shit without a trigger warning. You’re welcome! Last Week’s Challenge We talk about Part 4 of our Analog January Challenge (https://doweeklypodcast.com/analog-january/). If you recall, the basic points of the challenge are to: read something, move, talk to people, make something, join something that meets regularly and also updating on our educational product challenge. Last week, we emphasized talking to people; connecting with them over coffee, having phone or skype conversations, basically avoiding text-based conversations. So we’re making it a point to twenty different people (not just twenty different conversations). The idea is that we’re trying to connect with folks we haven’t spoken to in a while. It’s nice to catch up with old friends and have a real conversation. Social interactions and staying in touch that way really misses the point of maintaining a connection. It requires real effort to make time to chat with someone. And the conversations tend to be more intimate on the whole. Who doesn’t want that? We’re human beings and we thrive on connections with other humans. So how did you do on this part of the challenge? Let us know! Educational Course Update Natalie is nearly half done with her e-book. Natalie noticed that Mac’s Pages app has the ability to export a doc to an ebook format like epub, which is easy to export to mobi format for Kindles. For myself, I didn’t do a thing. Busy stuff, work stuff, ugh stuff. Next Week’s Challenge Guess what? We’re still doing that whole Analog January (https://doweeklypodcast.com/analog-january/) challenge. We’re reading more, we’re walking every day (and without our phones), and creating real conversations with several people we know (without using text). Focus on reaching out to folks moving and making. That is, go out for a walk, fifteen minutes, without your phone (or at least avoid using it and don’t listen to music or podcasts); then make something. Whether it’s drawing or painting or cooking. Anything you could make try making! Let us know how you’re progressing with everything. Need help?
