The 12-Minute Method Podcast

In this final 'normal' episode of Series 1 of this podcast I get into the most recent project that I've got off the ground... this podcast! I talk about how stressed I got starting out and recording the little bits of music, I talk about where it came from and the roles that Cat Preston's Collective Wisdom Podcast and The Podcast Show 2022 both played in creating it. It's also an episode about the 100 Podcast Challenge (see Episode 13 or https://www.robbieswale.com/writing/2022/2/4/the-12-minute-method-100-podcasts-challenge for more) because that's what made me get creative and get productive about making this show. 

I talk a bit about some of the struggles, and mostly about how I made it about learning and success beyond success, and not about how many people I had listening, which I worry about. 

I mention this Warren Buffett/James Clear story again: https://jamesclear.com/buffett-focus It's about how to create an avoid-at-all-costs list, and it's the goal-setting exercise I have been using for the last five years, which has really helped me be more productive and finally do the things I've been meaning to do. 

As this project is so fresh - ongoing, in fact! - I can feel all the parts of me that want to tell you more about it, about all the things I'm learning and still learning... and about how this episode isn't good enough. But that's the magic of the timer. And of practising the 12-Minute Method... it's not perfect, but I've done enough for today. Enjoy!

I'll be back later in the year with a Series 1 review, and will be reflecting ahead of next year on how I might continue (or not) this podcast. Thanks for listening!

About the 12-Minute Method Podcast: In this podcast, I (leadership coach and author Robbie Swale) investigate why we sometimes don't do the things that deep down we really want to do. In each episode of season 1, I am going to reflect on a time in my life where I have beaten procrastination, become more productive and finally done something important to me, hoping that by doing this I will learn more about what it really takes to go from wanting to do something (but not doing it) to getting it done. And hoping that whatever you take away from each episode might help you get your idea off the ground and out into the world.
