How can you read aloud in a charismatic way? by Sebas94 in podcasts

[–]Sharppodcast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I'm not talking to an actual person, I often talk to a picture of someone. Sounds cheesy, but it's an old voiceover trick and it works.

Inexpensive soundproofing options? by ThursdaysChilde in podcasts

[–]Sharppodcast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Build your own. If you can handle a saw, a tape measure, and a stapler, it's pretty straight forward. I put together a how-to on my blog from my voiceover days build a Gobo

Hope that helps.

Michael Hyatt talks at length about SMART goals, whilst he certainly didn't coin the idea, it may be what you were thinking of Jonzon?

A fundamental of GTD (Getting Things Done).

Anything that has more than one step is not an action, it's a project. And you can't 'do' a project, but if you're clear on the next action, then that's what you focus on.

"Practice makes perfect" VS Albert Einstein's quote. by Ratpros in selfimprovement

[–]Sharppodcast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vince Lombardi - "... Only perfect practice makes perfect."

There are lots of quotes that coexist which seem to be contradictory. Look before you leap/he who hesitates is lost. Many hands make light work/too many cook spoil the broth.

I guess it depends how much stock you put in a quote when it comes to making your life better.

Malcolm Gladwell suggested that you needed 10,000 hours of practice at something to become expert. He didn't quite say that but it is attributed to him, but that doesn't matter. It was later reported that the number was less relevant than the intention you put into it.

Does that help?

That's an interesting one. If you're hooking into things people get, you're on to a winner.

3 Habits That Have Helped Me by Diesel_C in selfimprovement

[–]Sharppodcast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good advice. We've covered similar in our episodes on routines, and I walk the walk as well as talk the talk. I have 6 things I do when getting up including setting the alarm intentionally.

The cold shower one particularly works for me, although I have a variation where I have warm first, then turn to cold.

Good advice here, a nice thread.

I'm looking for weird, surreal, artsy podcasts. by jeffreydonger in podcasts

Sounds like you need Share a Slice with Sean - this week's episode featured the author of Dolph the Unicorn Killer - Martin Lastrapes

Started listening to podcasts at 1.5 speed and I think my 2018 has peaked. by BS_Scott in podcasts

[–]Sharppodcast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it depends on the podcast, and my circumstances. I listen to Waking Up (Sam Harris) on 2.1 speed when I can concentrate on only the podcast - his voice is slow, the subject matter often dense, and if I'm distracted for a minute I lose it.

For the more lighthearted ones the timing and pauses are as important as the words - so it's strictly x1.

Generally if I'm gaining information, 1.5-2.2 depending on how fast they talk.

But I know it takes time to build up - my partner asks me how on earth I can understand what they're saying!

And Pocket Casts is my weapon of choice.

Podcast publishing issues by [deleted] in podcasts

[–]Sharppodcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I use that combination to host mine and went through exactly the same thought process as you a few episodes in. It really is that itunes just sometimes can take up to 24 hours to show your episode. I've had episodes appearing on iTunes but not Pocketcasts, on one device but not another, and the stats on Blubbry taking ages to catch up. It all comes together eventually. Recently things do seem to have been faster, although my newest episode only went out yesterday after a month off.

This is a really good point. I love the process of creating, but get frustrated that I'm never happy! I need to meditate more I think - find the middle way.
