I will make four videos on YouTube because that have I never tried that before.
I will make this four videos:
A Presentation of the Entire Course
Intro to the Green Stress Level
Intro to the Yellow Stress Level
Intro to the Red Stress LevelI will make this challenge more difficult, and therefore I will make all the four videos in week 30 because I will learn to make one video per Day, that is my goal. Right now it takes me 3 to 4 days. So I have to make my Working Procedure faster and better to reach that goal, and that I will work within in week 27, 28, 29.
It will be fun 🙂
Thanks – How did it go whit your challenge, can you reach your goal before your deadline?
The deadline for Screw It is tomorrow. So I’m trying to get as much done as I can today. Those two births last week really put me back.
@mars
I wish you luck – you could ask Bradly for more time because of the Births last week – I am sure that he will give it to you.
Remember never give up – that is not one of your skills 🙂I have been thinking about how I can come to my goal to make one lesson per day?
The first thing I will do is that I will have only one map called Stress News to my eCourse, where I can find all the files I need. I will also find a file structure, which will be the same for other eCourse in the future, so I always can find what I need so fast as possible.
I will also find a backup program, so I always have the backup of that work I have done, so I don’t miss it if my PC crash.
I can see that I also have taken all the possible mistakes I can, but the good thing is, that I will learn of my mistakes so that I can make better Working procedures in the future.
I think if I shall make one lesson per day then shall have all that I need to be ready for me on that day. So I will edit the audio files, and the rough cut of all the scenes, so I can make a clean Get Shit Done when the day to produce the lesson comes. The planning shall be perfect else it is not possible, so that will I work for the next three weeks.
Today I have finished my new file structure and buy a new backup program called EaseUS Todo Backup Home 10.6
I like the feeling that I now always can find what I need fast, and I also love that I have a daily backup of my work.
I know that real men don’t take backup, but I am sure that they cry quite often 🙂
I use numbers on my file structure, so my maps always be on the same place.
I have decided that on Sunday all my rough audio file should be finished, so I can begin to make all the rough video scenes finish, so they are ready when I shall make one lesson per day.
Ha! ‘Real men don’t back up but they cry quite often’ I LOVE it! And I would imagine that is very true! You are so funny.
I think organisation is crucial Bo! I got myself in quite a state last year because everything was all over the place and project files I had saved on my videos wouldn’t open because I had moved the files since creating them so I essentially had to start all over again in the creation of them . I would come up with ideas, remember I had come across a video or picture that would work with it and then spend the next 3 hours trying to find it! When you are busy trying to create an ecourse this is time you simply cannot afford to waste.
I now have separate files for everything and they are all labelled and within their own folders. I also have dropbox as my backup. Everything gets saved in dropbox and it is synced to my laptop so I have access to it from anywhere I am and I can tell you it makes life soo much easier! At the end of every month I do a clear out and clear up of my files to keep on top of organisation and make sure everything is exactly where it should be. It takes a lot less time than searching for a missing file I can tell you.
So I am thrilled to hear you have taken this step and I know it will help you an enormous amount!

YES – the organization is crucial. I think it is the place where I have lost most of my time, and be quite frustrated when I can find a file when I need, or can’t open it because of at Error message, which doesn’t tell me anything. So the organization is the way to go when we want to make things faster at better, and I don’t like to waste my time with stupid things if I can be free.
Good idea with Dropbox, what did it cost you to all the many videos you have?
I have got 1TB of storage with dropbox and it costs me £6.58 per month (roughly 9 U.S dollars) With dropbox you also have the ability to share certain files with people (as I do in my progress log)
I haven’t even used up a quarter of my 1TB of storage on there and I also file all my household paperwork, family photos and videos on there etc.
@saramccann Thanks for the price and tips – it is a good idea 🙂
Now is all my rough audio files finished, What work with a minimum of three characters in every video – but now it is okay. So I can begin to make all the rough video scenes, so they are ready when I shall make one lesson per day in the last weekend. I will use the next week to that job, and after that, I shall find a faster way to make better transitions between my scenes.
Today I have finish all the lib Sync from Scene Audio in Character Animator. I have found out that it is much faster if I do all the same task in order. It is much more boring, but when I do the same again and again, but I can see I am about 20 % faster when I do it on the boring way!
To hold my focus on the boring task I use Brain.fm and their focus on music, so it is much easier to do the task. But it is hard to have so much focus, a whole day, so I take a Friday tomorrow 🙂 But I never think that I could have taken all that task I have done today, on one day. Tuesday I begin to the rough cut for all the scenes to all my video.
One thing I have vast a lots of time is that I should open many documents, again and again, but I find a way that works with them for me so I could see four document at the same time, and it makes my workaround much faster. See the print screen below.
That’s some solid progress @xbobby. It’s beautiful that you’ve been tracking this adventure so thoroughly!
@bradleytmorris
Yes, and it is because I love the whole process, and find new ways to do the thing we normally do, and also see how I can do the boring thing faster, so I get more time to all the fun and creative things I also love to do.
