had this wild idea that it would be like a lightswitch... that I'd be able to just turn on the flow. that's almost never the case.Permalink On twitter.com

okay, great news today. it's 10pm and I finally did it. opened the document. reviewed the feedback. made a list of changes to make. whatever happens from here tonight is bonus. 1 for 2.Permalink On twitter.com

2 for 3. Lack of clarity really held me back today. BUT, doing an ideal present canvas is working wonders. Just gotta figure out what goes in the middle. @HiredThought/1451172277572317186Permalink On twitter.com

3 for 4 yesterday. haircut (thank you Liana), new setup of desk area to facilitate recording, and a new take of unit 1 of Pragmatic Wardley Mapping. new (old) obstacles... phone overheating. can't see phone while recording (remote viewing = more overheating), face out of frame.Permalink On twitter.com
-
4 for 5. My video troubles are no more, thanks to @cyetain. A camera and lens borrowed, the work can continue! Stabilized the teleprompter rig, learned about camera settings, and worked on getting video and audio to sync up (h/t @johncutlefish for that tip).Permalink On twitter.com
-
Took yesterday off. (Not including days off in the count.) Great news! Today's already 5 for 6, because I was able to finally make a decision about PWM unit 2 while taking a shower. Goals for rest of today... Revise unit 2. Re-record talking head for units 1 and 2.Permalink On twitter.com
-
6 for 7. Slept terribly last night, went to the dentist today, and still managed to eek out storyboarding and recorded drawing for PWM unit 2. Also, revised this companion assessment for unit 2: @HiredThought/1455359167393304579Permalink On twitter.com
-
7 for 8. Completely rewriting the script for PWM unit 3: "The Five Minute Wardley Map" Ironically, this unit will probably end up being 15 minutes long. Hmmm. At least I'm doing a much better job of saying what I'm going to say, then saying it, and then saying what I said.Permalink On twitter.com
-
8 for 9. I pushed through the despair and wrote all the way to the end of unit 3. But now unit 3 is too big. So, needed to split it into 3 units. So... new table of contents, reflecting the split. Also decided to integrate more examples. And fixed a camera-audio sync problem.Permalink On twitter.com
-
9 for 10. Not PWM, but had a very exciting call today about something that's been brewing for a few years. Today's PWM progress... after a bit of unrelated doom and gloom, I made a fire and then drafted some examples for unit 3 (aka the 3 new units that were formerly unit 3).Permalink On twitter.com
-
intentionally took friday and saturday off of this project. almost like I actually got a weekend! so we are 10 for 11 today. the big thing with PWM unit 3 is the examples... and getting to the most concise but accessible version of everything I've learned helping beginners map.Permalink On twitter.com
-
11 for 12. Huge wins tonight. Units 1 & 2 re-recorded AGAIN with new camera config — vid in 4k direct to SD card, audio rec'd separately. It works! Learned a trick to pull manual focus when not seated. (Involves putting my guitar on my seat lol.) Also, this, haha... (audio on)Permalink On twitter.com
-
12 for 13. Recorded talking the head today for unit 3 (which is... actually more like 3 separate units... oof). But getting this done is such a damn relief. Revising the rest this course will be soo easy by comparison.Permalink On twitter.com
-
13 for 14 today btw. I just did it at like 5am because reasons. Me to the sun: "wake up already" Sun: "7am. how many times I gotta tell you. you can wait." Sketching for unit 3. Part 1 of 3 down. (Beat 2 of 9 below.)Permalink On twitter.com
-
Yesterday was a day off. But today... WHEW. Almost didn't make it! But I did, so we are 14 for 15! More sketching for unit 3. Part 2 of 3 down. (Excerpt from Beat 6 of 10 below.)Permalink On twitter.com

Yesterday was another day off. (I seem to take Thursdays and Saturdays off these days). Getting into the headspace for the work today was ROUGH. Hence this tweet: @HiredThought/1460073554242904074 But, I got through it. Finished storyboarding Unit 3 Part 3 (12 beats). Hardest one yet.Permalink On twitter.com
-
WHEW this one's been a heavy lift. Yesterday was 15 for 16, so that makes today 16 for 17! So glad I could finally nudge Unit 3 part 3 into the EDIT column. 16 graphic beats in this one... Let's just say I'M beat! 😂Permalink On twitter.com
-
17 for 18, folks. Today was about making PDFs to accompany two of the units. First one's a template, while the second is more of a useful handout for reference. It's nothing you haven't seen before, but having it right there ready to go when you're learning is important.Permalink On twitter.com
-
18 for 19. Today was about beta feedback from Unit 4, prepping to re-write the script. Here's a quick view into my process. I find the things that I'll act on and cross out everything else. Then I boil that down into a change list. Keeps me focused as I write.Permalink On twitter.com
-
19 for 20 today. (yesterday was a day off, even though I made maps in the morning.) good news: found a better framing for map use bad news: it's gonna take so much work, goddamnit this also happened with unit 3. and (I hope) the results speak for themselves.Permalink On twitter.com

yesterday was a day off, but today I broke the streak. mostly because of this @HiredThought/1462522466446757898 because getting in gear took so long, I need to spend all remaining time today on it. overdue. but sadly it means I'm 19 for 21 today.Permalink On twitter.com

Yesterday was Thanksgiving and also Thursday (which is basically my version of Saturday). And today I abused caffeine in order make progress on The Project That Must Be Done (below tweet related). Alas, this means today I am 21 for 25. @HiredThought/1462522466446757898Permalink On twitter.com

I deleted the very paragraphs that just a few days ago I was bragging about having written. They didn't help anyone. They were just clever. This is much better. 22 for 26. @HiredThought/1465177199544258567Permalink On twitter.com

The last two days have been really tough sensory experiences (had people working on our apartment with loud equipment while I'm on calls with folks), and I am exhausted. So I'm sad to report we are 22 for 28. But we will get back in motion once I get a little peace and quiet!On twitter.com

Wow I lost 4 flipping days. So ridiculous. But here we are. 22 for 32. Only thing that matters is what happens from here. @HiredThought/1467439643717439490Permalink On twitter.com

pausing this thread because I need to finish a client project before I can give this work my best. See you in a week.Permalink On twitter.com

client work done, but then I got covid booster and flu shot, which took me out of commission the last few days. If I'm being realistic, we'll see movement again in January. I'll be rested and revitalized... able to put my whole self into it.Permalink On twitter.com

we've been hauling ass on the course this week. just so you know. the next unit to be revised is the one on the strategic thinking process. script is finally starting to shape up. (it's been like pulling teeth, but it's finally outta my head.) also this: @HiredThought/1481888752943435780Permalink On twitter.com

unit script is in "first draft" shape, finally. I'll try to revise over the weekend so we can start recording early in the week. Also, Teachable rolled out a new referral option, so we've added it to the final unit in Pragmatic Wardley Mapping.Permalink On twitter.com

Finished the script for this unit last night and recorded the talking head today... but had to sit down for three separate sessions over 4 hours... to overcome a series of audio snafus. Live and learn! @HiredThought/1484346129567260674Permalink On twitter.com

Did some storyboarding today. The thread has a deeper look into the course creation process! @HiredThought/1484538979240325121Permalink On twitter.com

We've been chugging away at the next unit, which is on map iteration. Sorry for being quiet on the updates! Writing the script was... less than easy. But we got it done! And we recorded the talking head last week. Right now... Storyboarding!Permalink On twitter.com
