Digital Awareness

Don't burn out. Don't burn out. Don't burn out. Last Week's Thoughts: Launched Paddle Studios, where I can showcase the work I'm involved in. Went a little too hard there, bud! Got close to burn out Burst of creativity... I guess I write songs now? Did pretty much everything I said I would This Week's Plans: Mission statement: make it easier to make stuff My mission is to make it easier for other people to make stuff too, working through whatever barriers you may have whether it's financial, personal, etc... You make what matters to you. Don't burnout this week Lot of work left to do for Beyond the Budget: a podcast the looks at the person behind the CFO title.

This week has been a rollercoaster of emotions and progress. Last Week's Thoughts: I pondered over the incomplete projects and the need to prioritize them I reflected on the importance of work-life balance, especially when working from home (and taxes) I expressed my concerns about juggling multiple interests and not being able to focus on one particular niche I analyzed the challenges of finding a balance between personal passions and professional goals This Week's Plans: Launch Paddle Studios, where I can showcase the work I'm involved in Prepare research questions for an upcoming interview with a project collaborator Work on the script for a new podcast trailer Dedicate a certain amount of time each night to working on my personal projects, such as video scripts and organization

Welcome to "Just Show Up," a podcast where I, Ben Hillman, share my personal journey of self-discovery, creativity, and personal growth as I navigate through the ever-evolving landscape of life. After a two-year hiatus, I'm back and ready to tackle the challenges ahead, from working on exciting projects at my job to cultivating a fulfilling personal life. Each week, I will recap my experiences, discuss what's coming up, and provide valuable insights and advice to help you face your own struggles and triumphs. If you're looking for an honest and relatable podcast that will inspire you to show up, face your fears, and embrace the unknown, "Just Show Up" is the perfect place to start. Join me on this incredible journey as I learn, grow, and share my story with you. Ben discusses his recent feelings of melancholy and the importance of working on personal projects alongside his professional work. He talks about his current job at Paddle, where he creates podcasts and videos, and how he still yearns to work on his YouTube channel. Ben shares his realization of feeling like he's "playing house" in his adult life, as well as the satisfaction and contentment he's found with his current situation. He touches on his anxiety disorder and the methods he uses to cope with it, including focusing on one task at a time through the use of to-do lists and productivity software like Notion. Finally, Ben sets goals for the upcoming week, which include creating a trailer for a new podcast, preparing a website launch, and keeping other ongoing projects on track.

Support me on Patreon: http://bit.ly/slackpatreon View this video on YouTube: http://bit.ly/persevere2020 The biggest lesson I've learned recently is focusing on Actions instead of Results. If you want to Persevere on YouTube in 2020, you need to focus on what you can influence (your actions) instead of what you cannot directly control (views, subscribers, etc). I talk more about that in this episode. #DigitalAwareness #YouTube #2020 Slacker Stuff: Searching for Meaning in Digital Awareness https://www.slackerstuff.com/ _ _ _ _ _ Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/slackerstuff Twitter: http://twitter.com/slackerstuffs Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/slackerstuff Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/slackerstuff LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/slackerstuff/ Anchor: https://anchor.fm/slackerstuff _ _ _ _ _ My Gear: Camera Panasonic G7: https://amzn.to/2q8ChV2 DJI Spark Drone: https://amzn.to/2oxqr6G Lenses: Panasonic 25mm MFT Lens: https://amzn.to/31dwk6d Sigma 16mm F/1.4 MFT Lens: https://amzn.to/2VYYKzX Variable ND Filter: https://amzn.to/2IQEJpN Lighting: Viltrox LED Light Panel: https://amzn.to/2nIZ0pS Audio Rode VideoMicro Microphone: https://amzn.to/2IPgUhU Zoom H1: https://amzn.to/2WapFZL Stabilization: Koolehaoda Monopod: https://amzn.to/31dwk6d JOBY GorillaPod: https://amzn.to/2MfBE4T Neewer Panoramic Ball Head: https://amzn.to/2MYXOY7 Other Helpful Tools: Parrot Telepromter 2: https://amzn.to/32cQNcI Neewer 3-Wheel Camera Dolly: https://amzn.to/2oxplb4 Neewer 47.2 inch Camera Slider: https://amzn.to/2VIoT5D --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/slackerstuff/message

Support me on Patreon: http://bit.ly/slackpatreon We're all connected to each other with the touch of our button. We've never had this sort of relationship with each other before. Is an internet relationship the same as a "real world" relationship? Should we be using social media as a replacement for interactions or is it something that enhances our experience? Frankly, I don't know. But I'd like to find out.
