Yesterday, I said I stopped podcasting because my workflow broke.
So now the question is, can I create a new workflow that feels effortless or at least good enough that I’ll get back into podcasting?
Well, yes.
Maybe a stronger question is, how can I create that new workflow?
Here’s my thought process:
- Well, I’ve wanted to try to build an app with AI tools. Maybe I could build an app for it.
- That seems like a lot of work. Maybe I could just find an app that does what I want it to do instead. It’s been about a year since I really dug into this to find an alternative. Maybe someone built an app that will do what I want already.
- If I’m going to search for a solution off the shelf like that, I should schedule it (with a start and end time) and put it on my To Do list so it actually gets done. If I can’t find what I want in that scheduled time, then I change course and find a different solution. This “change course” part is where I stopped last year.
- Also, to make it more likely that I’ll actually do the work it’s scheduled, could I spend two minutes right now finding the lowest friction first step so it feels like I have some momentum going into it?
- The answer to that, of course, is yes.
- So off I go…
Dramatic pause while I search.
- Okay, I’m back. I started on my phone and realized I actually have an app downloaded already called PodcastMaker that might do what I want. I listened to a click I recorded on it a year ago. The audio quality is bad. That might be why I didn’t use it before.
- My first step once I get this scheduled (so technically my second step) will be to record something new with two different microphones to see if I can get some decent audio quality. If I can, I might be able to use this app I LITERALLY ALREADY HAD ON MY PHONE A YEAR AGO!
