Mi a hasonlóság az ókori mágia és a mai, liftajtóra ragasztott, A4-es lapra írt üzenetek között? Mi a közös egy leszerelő római légiós és egy mai ember életközepi dilemmáiban? Ebben az epizódban erről is beszélgetünk, hiszen a műsor vendége ezúttal olyasvalaki, aki otthonosan mozog a római kori átoktáblák, az egyiptomi hieroglifák világában és korunk életvezetési kérdéseiben is. Vagyis ebben az epizódban Lassányi Gáborral beszélgetek ókori perátkokról, egyiptomi varázsreceptekről, a fekete fáraók földjéről, az ókori Núbiáról és a mai Szudánról, mítoszokról, mesékről, istenekről és emberekről, az életről meg mindenről.

El año 2026 ha comenzado con una "tormenta perfecta" sobre el asfalto español. No solo se trata del clima extremo que ha multiplicado los socavones en vías críticas como la A4, dejando a cientos de conductores con ruedas reventadas. Estamos ante una crisis estructural de país donde el déficit de mantenimiento de la red viaria alcanza ya los 13.500 millones de euros , mientras las carreteras parecen "caerse" literalmente, como ocurrió el pasado 19 de abril con el desprendimiento de un puente en la A66 en Zamora. En AutoFM sabemos que la seguridad vial no es solo una cuestión de cemento y asfalto; es una cuestión de personas. Tras el impacto, cuando la noticia desaparece de los medios, empieza la verdadera "vía por transitar". La radiografía de la imprudencia: Alcohol, Drogas y Cinturón Los datos de la última campaña de la DGT (diciembre de 2025) son una bofetada de realidad: más de 500 conductores al día dieron positivo en alcohol o drogas. Aunque la tasa de positividad en alcohol se mantiene en torno al 1,02%, la de drogas es alarmante, alcanzando un 32,83% de los test realizados. A esto se suma un retroceso inexplicable en la autoprotección. En la campaña de marzo de 2026, se detectó a 458 menores viajando sin el sistema de retención infantil adecuado o mal utilizado. Un dato que duele: el 29% de los fallecidos en lo que va de año en turismos no llevaba puesto el cinturón. Justicia Restaurativa: ¿Y si víctima y causante se miraran a los ojos? Más allá de las multas y la cárcel, existe un vacío que la justicia ordinaria no llena. "La justicia penal escucha poco a las víctimas", señala un estudio de la Cátedra Ethos y la asociación P(A)T. Aquí es donde entra la Justicia Restaurativa, un proceso voluntario que busca sanar la dimensión ética y humana del siniestro. Dos caras de una misma moneda: Eduardo y Enrique En nuestro último podcast, pudimos unir estos dos mundos: Eduardo Sánchez: Conductor profesional que, en junio de 2017, debido al consumo de marihuana y la fatiga, invadió el carril contrario causando una víctima mortal. Tras cumplir su condena penal, hoy colabora con PAT para que nadie repita su error. "En prisión cumples una obligación civil, pero lo que sirve es el contacto, el trabajar codo con codo para que esto no suceda", afirma Eduardo. Enrique Rodríguez: Perdió a su hijo Iván hace 20 años en un siniestro vial. Para él, conocer a Eduardo fue "cerrar el círculo de su corazón". Enrique destaca la necesidad de que la víctima deje de ser un "mero testigo" en un proceso frío para convertirse en el centro de la reparación. "Nadie le dio a los hechos la importancia que merecían". Esta frase resume el sentimiento de desamparo frente a la frialdad judicial. Una cita obligatoria: "Vías Restaurativas" Para profundizar en este debate, la asociación PAT presenta el documental "Vías Restaurativas". ¿Cuándo? Miércoles 27 de mayo de 2026, a las 17:00h. ¿Dónde? Fundación Mapfre (Calle Recoletos, 23, Madrid). El documental, basado en historias reales, muestra que el siniestro no termina en el impacto, sino que abre una etapa de consecuencias profundas en la salud mental y social que el sistema judicial rara vez alcanza a reparar. Mientras exigimos a la administración que arregle los puentes y tape los baches, los conductores debemos hacernos cargo de nuestra responsabilidad. Como dice Yolanda Domenech, directora de PAT: "Solo 0 tiene 0 consecuencias".

Wouter en zijn technicus Arjen over hun slechtste shows, een veel te lange try-out, een doodstille zaal, een flashback naar een extreem pijnlijke recensie en nog heel veel meer.De volledige speellijst van Met Blokjes vind je hierIn deze podcast blikt cabaretier Wouter samen met zijn vaste technicus Arjen terug op de hoogtepunten én de mislukkingen van hun theatertour. Met eerlijke verhalen en veel zelfspot bespreken ze alles wat er mis kan gaan achter de schermen en op het podium.De tour begon chaotisch: de allereerste try-out in Den Helder duurde maar liefst 2 uur en 20 minuten zonder pauze. Arjen reed volledig blanco naar het theater, het script had hij de avond ervoor ontvangen: 86 A4'tjes die niet meer vooraf kon lezen.Ze bespreken de uitdagingen van samenwerken met vrijwilligers-technici in kleinere theaters: overijverige stagiaires die meekijken tijdens de lichtprogrammering, een geluidssysteem dat tijdens de soundcheck werd opgeblazen door een vrijwilliger, en technici die ondanks goede bedoelingen het opbouwen van het decor overnemen terwijl dat averechts werkt.Ook de optredens zelf leveren memorabele momenten op: een theatertechnicus die tijdens de voorstelling het antwoord op een publieksquiz roept omdat hij de show al van de soundcheck kende, een zaal met nauwelijks publiek waardoor het lachen compleet uitbleef en een bezoeker die zo erg moest hoesten dat hij de zaal verliet.Wouter en Arjen combineren vakkennis met zelfspot en geven een unieke kijk in de wereld van theater, cabaret, podiumtechniek en een tournee maken in Nederland.Steun ElektraVind je Elektra leuk, steun dan de podcast eenmalig of doe een maandelijkse donatie voor afleveringen zonder onderbreking via elektrapodcast.nl/steun-elektraMeer over WouterWil je meer weten over Wouter, de host en maker van Elektra?

In deze aflevering van How To Get The Job (Done) spreken we met Ilse Langius - founder van Accentil, een modemerk dat in korte tijd hard is gegroeid in een markt die allesbehalve makkelijk is.Waar veel merken vandaag de dag volledig inzetten op online, koos Ilse bewust een andere route. Met een sterke focus op B2B, fysieke retail en persoonlijk contact bouwde zij binnen drie jaar een merk met meer dan 150 wholesale punten én een miljoenenomzet.Ilse deelt hoe ze tegen de stroom in haar keuzes maakte, wat er écht komt kijken bij starten in retail en waarom realistisch blijven daarin misschien wel haar grootste kracht is.We hebben het over startkapitaal, investeren, het belang van een helder plan en waarom haar businessplan uiteindelijk op één A4 moest passen. Ook deelt ze de lessen die ze leerde door fouten te maken, en wat zij vandaag anders zou doen.Deze podcast wordt uitgegeven door Geuren & Kleuren MediaAdverteren of samenwerken op deze titel?

David's officially 40, and Terry is here to remind him (repeatedly) — with a birthday week that won't quit, a BBQ for 35 people, and a very expensive catering quote that gets binned in favour of “the lads on the grill” and spicy margaritas on tap. They recap their adults-only Marbella trip: The Met hotel, beach shack prawn pil pil, Nobu, two-drinks-and-done drunkenness, and the infamous A4 photo that may or may not have got them rejected from the “club vibe” area. Plus: Terry turning German when she's drunk, David's new 40s do's and don'ts, Crocs-gate, and a listener dilemma about being asked to be a bridesmaid after a 10-year fallout.

Einen grausigen Fund haben Müllsammler bei Olpe gemacht: Am Samstag finden sie unweit der A4 einen menschlichen Kopf. Die Polizei prüft jetzt, ob dieser zu der Leiche der Mutter eines Babys gehört, das im November vor einem mittelhessischen Kloster abgelegt wurde. Obdachlose Frauen und queere Wohnungslose haben es im Alltag oft besonders schwer - wegen Übergriffen von männlichen Wohnungslosen. Deshalb startet das Diakonische Werk Ma-Bi jetzt mit einem neuen Angebot speziell für diese Personengruppe. Ostern ist gerade erst vorbei - und manche denken jetzt schon an Weihnachten. So zum Beispiel die Marketing-Abteilung der Stadt Gießen. Denn ab jetzt kann jeder und jede wieder Online über das neue Motiv der Gießener Weihnachtskugel in diesem Jahr abstimmen.
Paytrail-perustajan uusi yksisarvisaihio | Lennu Keinänen, Rise GroupSuomalainen pk-sektori pyörittää taloushallintoa kolmessa erillisessä maailmassa: pankkitili, taloushallintojärjestelmä ja kirjanpitäjä elävät kukin omaa elämäänsä. Integraatiot ovat heikkoja, manuaalista työtä on paljon ja kokonaisuuden hallinta jää yrittäjän harteille. Tähän kenttään tekoäly on nyt tuomassa muutoksen, joka olisi ollut epärealistinen vielä muutama vuosi sitten.Jaksossa vieraana on Rise Groupin Lennu Keinänen, joka tunnetaan Paytrailin perustajana. Lennu rakensi Paytrailin vuodesta 2007 aina vuoteen 2017, jolloin hän myi viimeisen osuutensa. Yli 20 enkeli-sijoituksen ja useiden hallituspaikkojen jälkeen hän on palannut yrittäjäksi — tällä kertaa ratkaisemaan pk-yritysten taloushallinnon kokonaisongelmaa tekoälyn avulla.Jaksossa pureudumme miten Paytrail syntyi käytännön kivun kautta, ei teknologiasta tai markkinatutkimuksesta kuinka Paytrail myytiin kahdessa osassa ja mitä exit jättää jälkeensä mitä enkeli-sijoittaminen tarkoittaa käytännössä, kun portfolio kasvaa yli 20 kohteeseen miksi tiimi ratkaisee enemmän kuin idea aikaisen vaiheen sijoituksissa menestyksen määrittely ennen kuin hakee ensimmäistä rahoittajaa cap table -valintojen vaikutus exit-lopputulokseen miksi pk-yritysten taloushallinto on edelleen ratkaisematon ongelma miten tekoäly mahdollistaa taloushallinnon automatisoinnin tavalla, joka ei ollut mahdollista kaksi vuotta sittenJakso liikkuu kahdessa tasossa: taaksepäin Paytrailin rakentamisen konkreettisiin valintoihin ja eteenpäin siihen, miksi juuri nyt on oikea hetki ratkaista taloushallinnon hajautuminen. Lennu puhuu suoraan siitä, mitä exit oikeasti tuntuu, mitä enkeli-sijoittaminen vaatii portfoliomielessä ja miksi menestyksen määrittely ennen rahoituksen hakemista ratkaisee kaiken muun.Sisällysluettelo [00:00] Jakson avaus ja Lennu Keinäsen esittely [01:11] Yrittäjänpolku: ensimmäinen yritys 15-vuotiaana ja tie Paytrailiin [02:10] Verkkokauppojen maksuliikenteen kaaos ja Paytrailin syntyidea [04:25] Paytrail exitin hetkellä: 30 henkeä, 3–4 miljoonan liikevaihto [05:01] Asiakkaan aidon kivun ymmärtäminen — Paytrailin tärkein oppi [06:54] Nopea validointi: kymmenkunta sopimusta A4-paperilla ennen ensimmäistä koodiriviä [14:21] Paytrailin myynti kahdessa osassa 2014 ja 2017 [28:23] Enkeli-sijoittamisen käytäntö: yli 20 kohdetta, pääpaino fintech ja SaaS [33:35] Tiimi vai idea — vahvasti tiimisijoittaja [40:50] Menestyksen määrittely ennen rahoituksen hakemista [47:57] Cap table, liquidation preference ja omistajuuden merkitys [51:09] Tekoäly SaaS-yrityksissä: hyödyt, haitat ja harhakuvitelmat [66:47] Rise Group: pk-yritysten taloushallinnon kokonaisratkaisu tekoälyllä [75:13] Kaupallistamisvaihe, ensimmäiset pilotit ja waitlistMenestystä Etsimässä on podcast suomalaisesta ohjelmisto- ja SaaS-liiketoiminnasta.

Overview of the editing process Self-editing How to find and work with a professional editor. My list is at www.TheCreativePenn.com/editors Beta readers, specialist readers, and sensitivity readers When is the book finished? These chapters are excerpted from How to Write a Novel: From Idea to Book by Joanna Penn, available direct or on all the usual stores. Overview of the editing process “Books aren't written. They're rewritten.” —Michael Crichton Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles is a classic of English literature. I studied it at school and the scene at Stonehenge still haunts me. Hardy's Jude the Obscure influenced my decision to go to university in Oxford, a city Hardy called Christminster. His novels are still held in great esteem, which is why it's so wonderful to see his hand-edited pages in the British Library in London, displayed in the Treasures collection. You can visit them in person or view them online. Thomas Hardy's edited manuscript of ‘Tess of the D'Urbevilles, one of England's greatest writers While his handwriting is a scrawl, it's evident from the pages just how much editing Hardy did on this version of the manuscript. There are lines struck through, whole paragraphs crossed out, arrows moving sections around, words and sentences rewritten, and comments in the margins. Even the title is changed from A Daughter of the D'Urbervilles to Tess of the D'Urbervilles as we know it today. Those edited pages gave me hope when I saw them for the first time as a new fiction author. Not that I thought I could write a classic of English literature, but that I could learn to edit my way to a better story. There are several stages in the editing process, which I'll outline here and then expand on in subsequent chapters. As you progress in your craft, you won't need every stage every time, so assess with each book what kind of editing you need along the way. Self-editing The self-editing stage is your chance to improve your manuscript before anyone else sees it. For some authors, this stage might mean rewriting the entire draft. For others, it involves restructuring, adding or deleting scenes, doing line edits, and more. Developmental or structural edit An editor reads your manuscript and gives feedback on specific aspects, character, plot, story structure, and anything else pertinent to improving the novel. It is sometimes described as a manuscript critique. You will receive a report, usually ten to fifteen pages, with notes on your novel, which you can then use in another round of self-editing. While this is not always necessary, it can be a valuable step and something I appreciated particularly for my first novel when I had so much to learn. Copyediting and line editing This is the classic ‘red pen' edit where you can expect comments and changes all over your manuscript. This edit focuses on anything that enhances the writing quality, including word choice and phrasing issues, as well as grammar, and more. Some editors split this edit into two, and there are differences between what this edit is called between countries. For some editors, a copyedit includes only attention to grammar and correctness, while a line edit focuses on improving and elevating sentences. Be clear about your expectations and that of your editor upfront. You will usually receive an MS Word document with Track Changes on as well as a style guide or style sheet and other notes, which you can then use to make revisions during another self-edit. This is the most expensive part of the process, as editors usually charge per 1,000 words based on the type of edit you want. If you need to cut your story down by 20K, then do it before you send your manuscript for a line edit! Beta readers, specialist readers, and/or sensitivity readers Some authors use different types of readers as part of their editing process. Beta readers are often part of the author's community and are certainly fans of the genre. They read to help the author pick up any issues pre-publication. Specialist readers are those with knowledge about a topic included in the story. For example, a vulcanologist read specific chapters of Risen Gods to check that the details about volcanic eruptions were correct. Sensitivity readers check for stereotypes, biases, problematic language, and other diversity issues. You will usually receive comments or an email with page numbers or chapter numbers, or sometimes an MS Word document with Track Changes, which you then use to make revisions. Many readers provide services for the love of helping their favorite author with a novel and a mention in the acknowledgments, but there are some paid services for specialist and sensitivity readers. Proofreading Proofreading is the final check of the manuscript pre-publication for any typos or issues that might have been introduced in the editorial process. For print books, this can include a review of the print proof with formatting. You should only fix the last tiny changes at this point. Don't make any major changes this close to publication or you may introduce entirely new errors. Do you need an editor if you intend to get an agent and a traditional publisher? You will go through an editorial process with your agent and publisher. But if you want the best chance of getting to that stage in the first place, it might also be worth working with an editor before you submit your manuscript to an agent. Look for an editor who will help you with your query letter and synopsis as part of their edit. Self-editing I love this part of the process! My self-edit is where I wrangle the chaos of the first draft into something worth reading. I have my block of marble and now I can shape it into my sculpture. The mindset shift from writer to editor, from author to reader In the idea, planning, discovery, and first-draft writing phase, it's all about you, the writer. You turn the ideas in your head into words that you understand, characters that come alive for you, and a plot that you're engaged with. In that first rush of creativity, you can banish critical voice and ignore any nagging doubts. But now you need to switch heads. That's how I prefer to think about it, but you might consider it as changing hats or changing jobs. Anything to help you move from the creative, anything goes, first-draft writer to the more critical editor. There is one overriding consideration in this shift. As Jeffery Deaver says, “The reader is god.” With the editing process, you need to turn your story from something you understand into something a reader will enjoy. Writing is telepathy. It connects minds across time and space. You are reading these words and the meaning flows from my brain into your brain — but only if I craft the book well enough. The same is true of your novel. Yes, of course, you want to double down on your creative choices and make sure you achieve everything you want to with your story. But you also need to keep the reader in mind as you edit because the book is ultimately for them. Will your story have the desired effect on the reader? What might help improve their experience? How can you make sure that they are not bored or confused or jolted out of the story? What will make them read on and, at the end, close the novel with a sigh of satisfaction? My self-editing process At the end of the first draft, I print out my manuscript with two pages to each A4 page, so it looks more like a book. I put it in a folder and leave it to rest. You need fresh eyes for your edit and this ‘resting' gives you some emotional distance. In On Writing, Stephen King suggests leaving a manuscript to rest for at least six weeks. While that is a great idea if you have the time, most authors work to deadline, whether externally set or their own timetable. Many authors — including me — are also impatient! I love this first self-edit, and as I'm still crafting the story as a discovery writer, I usually rest the manuscript for a week or two. I schedule blocks of time for editing in my Google calendar and (when not in pandemic times) I go to a café when it opens first thing in the morning. I put on my BOSE noise-cancelling headphones and edit by hand with a black ballpoint pen from page one to the end. I usually manage ten to twenty pages per editing session of a couple of hours each, but it will depend on the amount of restructuring I need to do. I scribble notes in the margins, draw arrows to move paragraphs around, write extra material on the back of pages, or add where I need to write more later. I change words, rewrite and delete lines, and pick up any issues around lack of sensory detail, character problems, and more. You can see an example of a page below: Some pages end up a mass of black; others are relatively clean. But in this first hand edit, no page goes untouched as I hone my manuscript into something closer to my creative goal. You can edit on a computer or a tablet, or whatever else works for you, but at least change the font or the spacing, or something to make it a different experience to reading the first draft. Most writers have a tendency to either overwrite or underwrite, and so will either need to cut words or add words at this stage. I'm in the latter camp so I usually have to add scenes or deepen characters or theme at this point. Once I have hand-edited the whole manuscript end-to-end, I make the changes in my Scrivener project. I change the color of the flags along the way and, as ever, I back up the session. I also use ProWritingAid at the sentence level to fix up things I missed, because we all miss things! When all the changes have been made, I print the complete manuscript again, and read end-to-end and edit as before. This time, it's usually a lot cleaner and there may only be a few things to fix in each chapter. Once I'm finished, I'll update the Scrivener project once more and then decide whether it needs a third pass. Mostly, two full end-to-end hand edits are enough for me these days, but sometimes I'll do a third or go through specific chapters one more time. This messy editing process is fun for me and it's hugely satisfying to see my story come to life. What to focus on in the self-edit Some authors will go through the manuscript multiple times, focusing on different elements with each pass using the aspects covered in Part 3 and Part 4. For example, they'll do an edit based on character and dialogue, followed by another pass for plot, then theme, and so on. Personally, I try to keep the reader in mind and focus on the story as a coherent whole. That's just how my mind works. I jump from fixing a plot issue to deepening a character to adding foreshadowing and so on as I read and edit. I'm confident that my editor will find a lot of the smaller things that I might miss, so I concentrate on trying to achieve my creative vision with the story. You will find your own way of figuring out your process. It's much better to jump in and have a go at editing rather than trying to work out the best way before you have something to work through. Lost the plot? Try reverse outlining If you're a discovery writer like me and you're struggling with the edit and you feel you have lost the plot (which definitely happens sometimes!) then consider a reverse outline as part of your editorial process. Go through the manuscript and write a few lines per scene. Include character, plot points, conflict, setting, open questions and hooks, and any other notes. This will help you step back and hopefully see the entire story from a high level. Then you can dive back into rewriting each chapter. Read the book out loud or use a text-to-speech reader to do it for you Many authors read their book aloud end-to-end, which is a helpful step once you've been through any major rewrites. There are also plenty of text-to-speech tools that can help, for example, Natural Reader or Speechify, and some are built into devices or applications. MS Word includes a Read Aloud tool in the Review tab. This will also help you edit for audio as you'll hear issues you can't see on the page. Editing for audio Audiobooks are a huge growth market and many readers will listen to your book rather than read it, so it's a good idea to consider editing with audio in mind at this stage. Here are some tips. Watch out for repeated sounds. The editorial process will usually catch repeated written words, but similar sounding words can hit the same audio note in narration. You might not notice them in the text, as they are spelled differently. The words ‘you,' ‘blue,' ‘tattoo,' and ‘interview' all start and end with different letters. They look different on the page, but they strike the same audio note when read aloud. In the same way, repetition can work if you have a point to make, but sometimes it jars the listener if it is overused. A classic recommendation for writing dialogue is to use ‘said' with a character name rather than other words like ‘uttered' or ‘pronounced.' This is because ‘said' disappears for the reader on the written page. But with audio, the repetition of a word is highly noticeable, and repeated sounds can dominate a passage. Rewrite with synonyms for ‘said,' or use action to make it clear who the speaker is without resorting to dialogue tags, as described in chapter 3.5. Contractions — or the lack of them — can also become more obvious in audio. “I am not going to the park,” might be spoken as “I'm not going to the park.” When we type dialogue, it is often more formal than the way someone speaks, so check if you can contract it in your edit. Accents can be an issue with fiction narration. There are plenty of narrators who do a ‘straight read,' but if there are accents within dialogue, make it clear where the character comes from. Make sure the narrator knows about the accent choice upfront, otherwise you might not like it in the finished audio. Remember my friend whose novel had an Irish character narrated like a comedy leprechaun instead of the soft lilt she had in mind? Don't confuse the reader. If you have a lot of characters appearing in a chapter and no clear character tags, you might lose the listener in the detail. When reading on paper or a screen, your reader can quickly flick back and see that George was the butler and Angus was the dog, but that's harder to do when listening to an audiobook. Make sure it's clear who is who. You may have to remind listeners occasionally by adding character tags. For example, ‘Angus ran alongside the canal' could become ‘Angus, the golden cocker spaniel, ran alongside the canal.' For more on audiobooks, check out my book, Audio for Authors: Audiobooks, Podcasting and Voice Technologies. How many drafts do you need? The word ‘draft' means different things to different authors. Some only apply this term to a complete rewrite end-to-end, while others will shift paragraphs around, change some lines, add a new scene, and call that a new draft. Nora Roberts said in a blog post on her writing craft, I work on a three-draft method. This works for me. It's not the right way/wrong way. There is no right or wrong for a process that works for any individual writer. Anyone who claims there is only one way, or that's the wrong way, is a stupid, arrogant bullshitter. That's my considered opinion. I love Nora's no-nonsense approach and she is right that there is no single correct process. You have to find your own. But beware of comparing what you call a draft to what another writer calls a draft. It may be something completely different. Use editing software Once I've finished my hand edits and updated the Scrivener project, I use ProWritingAid on the manuscript. It integrates with Scrivener, so I open my project and go through each chapter. ProWritingAid picks up passive voice, repetitive words, commas and typos, suggests rephrasing, and even picks up culturally problematic language. Yes, these are the type of things that an editor will pick up, but I want to hand over a manuscript that is as clean as possible so my editor can focus on other issues. I don't make all the suggested changes, but it certainly helps improve my writing, and I learn as I go through. You can even create your own style guide so you spell things the same way throughout. This is also a good chance to check typos according to the version of English you want to use (or any other language). I'm English and based in the UK, but when I published my first novel, I received complaints about typos from my readers, who were mainly in the USA. These were not typos, they were just British spelling! I decided to use US English in my books because US readers complain about UK spelling, but non-US readers will rarely complain about US spelling because they are used to it. You can set ProWritingAid to the type of English you want to use, and if you specify this later, your editor can pick up on word usage rather than typos, for example, using the term ‘flashlight' instead of ‘torch.' You can find ProWritingAid at: www.TheCreativePenn.com/prowritingaid You can find my tutorial on how to use ProWritingAid at: www.TheCreativePenn.com/prowritingaidtutorial When is your self-edit finished? You will be utterly sick of your manuscript by the end of the self-editing process. You have read your words so many times you can't see them clearly anymore. You are so over the whole thing that you want to forget the book altogether. If you don't feel this way, you probably haven't self-edited enough! When you really feel you can't do any more, it's time to work with a professional editor. If you are putting off the end of self-editing, then remember that nothing is ever perfect. You can edit forever if you keep obsessing over changes and going over and over the same material. If your self-edit goes on too long, consider whether perfectionism is holding you back. Set a completion date and hold yourself to it. How to find and work with a professional editor If you want your book to be the best it can be, then working with a professional editor is the next step. An editor's job is to take your manuscript and help you improve it through structural changes and story development, line edits, suggestions for new material or sentence refinement, and so much more. Different kinds of editors can help you in different ways from constructing the overarching story to eliminating the final typo. In my experience, good professional editors are well worth the investment as they help improve your book and your craft, especially in the initial stages of your writing journey. They have read so many early-stage manuscripts that they understand the most common problems and know how to help you fix them. Some experienced authors only use proofreaders for their novels, but personally, I still work with a professional editor on every book and I learn something every time. I am a super-fan of editors! How to find a professional editor Consolidation in the traditional publishing industry over the last decade has resulted in many more editors working as freelancers, so authors have a wealth of professionals available for hire in every genre. You can find lists of approved editors through author organizations. The Alliance of Independent Authors has a list of Partner Members, many of whom are editors. You can also use author marketplace Reedsy. Many editors use content marketing to find clients — for example, blogging about editing tips, writing books on editing, or appearing on podcasts. I have had lots of editors on The Creative Penn Podcast over the years, so you can listen and see if they resonate with you. Most authors credit their editors and proofreaders in the acknowledgments of their books, and many authors happily share recommendations on social media in various author communities. If you enjoy a certain novel, it might be worth reaching out to that editor, as you know they are a specialist in the genre. Check out my list of editors at: www.TheCreativePenn.com/editors How to assess whether an editor is right for you I frequently get emails from writers asking me to recommend an editor for their book. But finding an editor is like dating. You have to do it for yourself, and it's likely that you will try a few before you find your perfect match. You may also change editors over your writing life as your craft develops and your needs shift, and that's completely normal too. Make sure the editor has experience in and enjoys your genre. You don't want a literary historical fiction editor working on your YA paranormal romance or your hard sci-fi adventure. Ensure that the editor has testimonials from happy clients, and check directly with a named author if you have doubts. Some editors will offer a sample edit for one chapter. This helps both parties decide whether working together is appropriate. The editor can assess what level your manuscript is at, and you can decide whether their editorial style is right for you. How to work with an editor When you engage an editor, you will receive a contract with a timeline and a price for the work. You agree to deliver the manuscript on a particular date and will usually pay a deposit, especially if this is the first time you're working together. The editor agrees to deliver the edits back on a certain date and also to keep your manuscript in confidence. You can avoid issues later by communicating expectations up front, so if you have questions about the editing process, ask before you sign a contract. Many editors are booked months in advance, so once you know your schedule, contact them early and book a slot. Update them if your timings change. Most allow minor slippage, but since editors plan their work around contractual dates, it's important to be timely with delivery. As a discovery writer, I only book my editor when I am sure of my dates. Submit your manuscript and, once the edit is complete, you will receive whatever has been agreed. That might be a structural report, line edit, or proofread manuscript, along with a style sheet. It's usually in the form of an MS Word document by email. Some editors may offer a call to discuss, but I have never spoken to an editor as part of my process. It has never been necessary. It's all about the words on the page. If you want a call and it is not specified, then include it in the contract up front along with anything else you're concerned about. I consider my editors to be an important part of my team. They help me turn my manuscripts into books that readers love, and I rely on them as part of my business. This is a two-way relationship, and you need to behave as professionally as the editor should. If you find an editor you love working with, pay them quickly and respect their time, and you will hopefully have a long-term business relationship that benefits you both. How does it feel to go through an edit? It's probably going to hurt, especially in the beginning, when your craft is in its early stages. You need fresh eyes on your work, especially at the beginning of your author career. You need feedback to improve. When I received notes back on my structural edit for my first novel, I didn't open the email for ten days. I was so scared of what it would say because my novel meant so much to me, and yet I knew it had problems. Of course it did, it was my first novel! So I let the email sit in my inbox until I was ready to face it, and like many things, the fear was worse than the actual event. Even many years and many books later, I still don't open emails from my editor until I am mentally ready to face criticism. Because that's what it feels like. It is not the editor's job to pat you on the back and say, ‘Well done, this is perfect.' Their job is to help you make it the best book it can be. They are experts and have honed their advice over many manuscripts, so they can spot an issue a mile off. When you receive that email from your editor, particularly if it's your first book, make sure you are well rested and in a positive frame of mind. Set aside a good amount of time and read through the comments and the manuscript as a whole. If you have an emotional reaction, do not email back immediately! Let the feedback sit with you for a few days, and you will find it easier to see what might need to change. Once you're ready, go through the manuscript and work through each change. Don't just click Accept All on the Track Changes version for a line edit. This takes time, but it's well worth it because you will learn with every step and you'll be able to spot your common issues in the future, and hopefully fix them next time. You also need to examine every suggestion to see if you want to make the change. Do you need to make every change that an editor suggests? No, you don't. You are the author, so your creative vision is the most important thing. But try to get some distance and assess whether the change truly serves the book, or if you're just having an emotional response. Remember what Jeffery Deaver said: “The reader is god.” Consider each editorial suggestion on its own merit. Does it help take the story in the direction you want it to? Will it improve the reader's experience? What if my editor wants me to change everything? Perhaps they are not the right editor for you. The editor should not fundamentally change your story or alter your creative vision. Their job is to help you shape your manuscript into a better version of itself, and retain your voice and ideas while at the same time improving it for the reader. This is a skillful balancing act, which is why experienced editors are so highly sought after. How long will the editing process take? This will depend on the type of writer you are in terms of the first draft. If you outline in great detail and spend time up front making the first draft the best it can be, then editing might take less time than for a discovery writer who only figures out the book after the first draft. The more books you've written, the more you understand how to shape a novel, the more you can write a clean draft, so editing speeds up. That doesn't mean it gets easier to write a book, but it does mean you know how to find and fix issues. It will also depend on the length of the book. A 50,000-word romance with one protagonist will be a faster edit than a 150,000-word sprawling fantasy with multiple point-of-view characters. It will also depend on your experience, so don't compare your editing time to someone who has written a lot of books. Give editing the time it needs. You want your book to be the best it can be. But also remember Parkinson's Law, which I discussed in chapter 4.7 on writing the first draft: “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.” This law also applies to editing. Set your deadline and schedule your editing time accordingly. Don't book a professional editor until you've been through at least your self-editing process, as it may take longer than you think. How much does an editor cost? This will depend on the type of edit, your genre and word count, how experienced you are as a writer, and how much experience the editor has. Editors usually quote a range on their website and you can also email and ask for a more detailed quote based on your manuscript length and sample. Every dollar I have spent on editing has been worth it as an investment in my writing craft and the quality of my finished novels. Although my requirements are different now, I continue to use editors and proofreaders for all my books. The more eyes on your novel before publication, the better it will be on launch. What if you have a tight budget? When I started out as a writer, I had a day job and I saved up for the editorial process. It was an investment in my craft and a possible future creative career. If you already have or intend to set up a business as a writer, then you can offset the cost of editors against any profits. But when you're starting out, you can't necessarily see that far ahead. If you're on a tight budget, then find or set up a writer's group with others in your genre and work through one another's manuscripts. You might also have other skills you can barter for editing services, but remember that bartering is subject to tax in many jurisdictions, so don't assume that it is ‘free.' What if my editor steals my ideas or my manuscript? This is a common concern of new writers who think that editors might run away with their book and make millions with their idea. But don't worry, editors are professionals. They work within a contractual framework that protects both parties. So make sure you are happy with the contract before you sign it. If you are really worried, you can register your copyright before you send the manuscript to anyone else. While it is not legally necessary to register copyright — it exists the moment the work is created — there are registration companies in every country that can provide peace of mind. Just search for ‘copyright registration' within your territory. Will I need different editors when I'm further along in my writing journey? Yes, as your craft and experience improves, you will likely work with different editors. You might also choose to use a new editor for a different genre, or work with recommended professionals to take your craft to the next level.

Beta readers, specialist readers, and sensitivity readers Professional editors approach your manuscript with a critical eye based on their knowledge of language, story structure, and genre. But sometimes, it's a good idea to gain perspective from readers who are not experts on sentence structure or grammar, but comment on the story itself, and their experience of reading it as a whole. Beta readers Beta readers are a trusted group of people who evaluate your book from a reader's perspective before publication. The term comes from the software industry, where early versions are tested in beta before being released to the public. While there are some paid beta reader services, many authors find people from their existing readership, or from among genre fans in the writing community. Authors usually thank their beta readers in their acknowledgments. Specialist readers Specialist readers are experts on a particular topic who read with their expertise in mind. This might be a police officer who checks a crime novel, or a physicist who reads for a science-fiction author. Sensitivity readers Sensitivity readers check for cultural and diversity issues, lack of or clichéd representation, and insensitive, inauthentic, or uninformed language, characters, or situations. This type of feedback can help an author before publication, and can be particularly useful if you are tackling more controversial topics. It can also be valuable when reviewing older manuscripts if you want to republish a new edition, as gendered language has changed, as well as the need for representation, diversity, and inclusivity. While some criticize sensitivity reading as a step toward censorship, most authors want to make their books the best they can be, and ensure the reader experience is excellent, whatever the genre. Being a fiction writer is also about empathy — with our characters and with our readers — so improving our ability to write about diverse characters is important. However, authors cannot be experts on what it's like to experience every race or religion, every body type or disability or mental health issue, or understand every country or culture. Feedback from different kinds of readers can help us write better stories, and it is the author's choice whether to implement suggestions in the final manuscript. Do you need all of these types of readers? No. You don't need any of them, or you can choose to use some of them for different books, depending on the need. It's up to you (and your agent or publisher if you choose to go that route). At what stage in the editorial process should you use these types of readers? The book should be as close to the final version as possible. These people are reading with fresh eyes; if they read again later, they can never approach the story with such an open mind. Most authors will send the manuscript to a select group of readers after the main editorial revisions, but before the proofread. Some authors with more developed careers even use their team of beta readers instead of editors at different stages of the process. What should you provide to readers? Provide the manuscript in the format the reader prefers. This could be an MS Word document or PDF. Many established authors use Bookfunnel, which allows you to create a version that can be read on any reading device or phone. Specialist readers and sensitivity readers have their specific expertise, but for more general beta readers, you need to provide some direction as to what you expect. For example: Did you skip over anything? Did anything bore you? Was anything confusing? Did you have to reread any parts? What did you like? Was there anything you hated or objected to or had a problem with? How long should you give them to read? Allow at least two weeks for readers to assess and provide feedback. Be clear on the timeline when you send them the book.. Do you need to make all the changes they suggest? No, and if you try to, you will end up straying from your creative goal, messing up your author voice, and likely pleasing no one! Keep your number of early readers small and specific to what you want to achieve. Assess each comment and suggestion on its own merit and decide whether or not to make the change. Be confident in your creative vision and beware writing by committee, which becomes a problem if you ask too many people for feedback. Only you can decide what you want for your novel. Resources: • The Reedsy marketplace includes different kinds of editors, beta readers, and sensitivity readers — www.TheCreativePenn.com/reedsy • Directory of sensitivity readers — www.writingdiversely.com/directory • Editors of Color — editorsofcolor.com When is the book finished? “I have not yet found words to truly convey the intensity of this remembered rapture—that moment of exquisite joy when necessary words come together and the work is complete, finished, ready to be read.” —bell hooks,Remembered Rapture You can edit a book forever if you want to. Every time you read it, you will find things to change. Every time you hire another editor, they will find more. If you work with beta readers, they will also offer opinions. Your novel will never be finished — until you decide it is. Nothing is ever perfect. Even if you hire three separate editors and use multiple proofreaders, you will still find a typo or an error in the published novel. Pick up any bestselling book from a traditional publisher, and you will still find an issue somewhere. It happens to everyone. Look at any prize-winning or bestselling book on Amazon and check the reviews. The more popular the book, the more issues people will find with it. There will never be a novel that satisfies everyone, and that's fine. Of course, you must make sure your book is the best it can be, but set boundaries for yourself so you do eventually finish. Have you self-edited your manuscript? Have you worked with a professional editor, or at least worked through the manuscript with other writers to improve it? Have you used editing tools and/or a proofreader? Have you set a deadline to move into the publishing process so you are not editing forever? If you have been through this rigorous editorial process and you still feel the itch to edit again, be honest with yourself. Is another round of changes really going to make a substantial difference to this book? Would it be better to work on the next novel instead of constantly reworking this one? Are you struggling with fear of judgment, fear of failure, procrastination, or other mindset issues that you need to work on instead of editing? Check out my book The Successful Author Mindset if you think this might be the case. Strive for excellence, do your best, and then release your book out into the world. “Set a limit on revisions, set a limit on drafts, set a time limit… The book will never be perfect.” —Kristine Kathryn Rusch, The Pursuit of Perfection and How it Harms Writers These chapters are excerpted from How to Write a Novel: From Idea to Book by Joanna Penn, available direct or on all the usual stores.

NASA photo art002e009057, 4 April 2026 Published 6 April 2026 e549 with Andy, Michael and Michael – boldly go into a deep set of space discussions featuring Artemis II, ways to keep track of the historic flight, COTS software and hardware aboard the spacecraft, Bernie Sanders conversation with Claude, TU Wien's mini QR code and a whole lot more! Andy, Michael and Michael boldly go into a deep set of space discussions focusing on the launch of Artemis II. Mission Control starts off with the Artemis II Tracker built by Jakob Rosin for Jakob Rosin, and as he says, every other space nerd who stayed up for launch night. The tracker is a fantastic assembly of data related to the mission, and is well worth bookmarking to keep up to speed on the progress of the astronauts as they approach the Moon and make their return journey to Earth. Andy, Michael and Michael take a look at an article describing how COTS (commercial, off the shelf) technology are used in space missions, and the steps needed to ensure such technologies are appropriate for the mission. It is no surprise that iPhone use aboard Artemis II caught the co-hosts' attention, and after recording the episode, they found even more insight on how the iPhone 17 Pro Max was cleared for use. Another COTS technology used aboard the spacecraft was email – and also needed some glitches to be resolved. Other interesting stories came from the Gizmodo article, such as the pre-launch card game which continues until the mission commander loses, and the challenges with the Universal Waste Management System that were initially resolved in Earth orbit, through another issue surfaced later in the voyage with the vent line. At time of this writing, all systems to go with the Universal Waste Management System were rated as ‘go'. The Moon plush named Rise, which acts as a zero gravity indicator, was designed by a second grader named Lucas Ye. In the non-space portion of the episode, the team discusses browsergate, Bernie Sanders' conversation with Claude and a mini QR code from the TU Wein that could help store up to 2TB of data on an A4 sized page! Wrapping up the episode, Andy shares his contact information through his aggregation site of andypiper.me Do you think that the orange color of the iPhone 17 Pro Max matched the uniform color of the Artemis crew? Have you placed your order for a copy of Rise? Have your bots
Avec le producteur Arnaud Contreras, L'Atelier des médias redécouvre les fanzines. À l'heure du tout numérique, ces publications indépendantes sur papier n'ont pas perdu leur raison d'être. Bazooka, Le Dernier Cri, Bongoût, Sniffin' Glue, Abus dangereux, Compote de Potes, Comtesse, H13, Nunuche, Remède Miracle… Autant de titres et de collectifs de fanzines – qu'on abrège aussi en zines –, contraction des mots anglais fanatic et magazine, type de publication que L'Atelier des médias met à l'honneur dans cet épisode. Le voyage commence à la Fanzinothèque de Poitiers, un lieu ressource créé en 1989, qui conserve plus de 60 000 fanzines soigneusement classés. Son directeur, Andrew Hales, dit « Andy », explique comment le lieu est organisé et rappelle que le principe du fanzine a été lancé dans les années 1930 par des « fanatiques de science-fiction » qui ne trouvaient pas, dans la presse traditionnelle, de magazines traitant des sujets qui les passionnaient. Ensuite, il a explosé avec la mouvance punk dans les années 1980. La définition d'un espace de liberté Pour Andy, le fanzine s'analyse aujourd'hui comme une réponse à la surveillance et à l'éphémère du numérique. Les créateurs « se méfient un peu de l'espace numérique et de l'internet. Ils ont envie de revenir créer dans un espace moins surveillé et faire des choses sur du papier qui est distribué entre des gens de main en main ». À écouter aussi« L'adieu au journal » : comment la presse papier a changé le monde Marie Bourgoin, cofondatrice de la Fanzinothèque et autrice du livre Fanzinorama, souligne que la technique importe peu face à l'envie de s'exprimer : « Il n'y a pas de mode d'emploi en fait. Je crois que c'est surtout la passion. » Marie Bourgoin insiste sur la dimension physique : « On a besoin de contact physique, de papier, de toucher les objets et ça nous manque beaucoup dans le numérique. Le papier vieillit bien », assure-t-elle. Un acte politique et collectif Si certains créent des egozines, véritables journaux intimes publiables – à l'instar de Rodolphe Cobetto Caravanes qui définit sa pratique comme « le côté journal intime publiable » –, beaucoup voient dans le fanzine un moteur de partage. À Paris, au Point FMR, le collectif Rue Poule Zines a organisé un atelier pour « faire ensemble ». Anne, membre du collectif, explique que l'enjeu dépasse la simple création artistique : « C'est quelque chose de politique de faire quelque chose de collectif, de créatif et de non lucratif. C'est une forme de résistance ». Face à l'émergence de l'intelligence artificielle, ces créateurs revendiquent l'authenticité du geste manuel : « On fait des choses en papier et en fait on crée des relations en vrai. C'est pas artificiel, c'est pas virtuel ». Si vous voulez vous aussi vous essayer à faire un fanzine avec une simple feuille A4, suivez ce lien : HOW TO MAKE A ZINE

This is Part 3 of a short series where I'm sharing how I've been using mini zines to generate ideas, make connections, and get accidentally creative in unexpected ways. In this post, I'll take you through two exercises focused on making connections and using observations to better understand your relationship with the areas of life, challenges, and decisions on your mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsbkFmEgs14 Exercise One: Word Association to Make Connections The core purpose here is playful exploration. This is about loosening the grip of overthinking and perfectionism and seeing how ideas might link up. Start by folding and cutting a mini zine from a single piece of A4 paper. (If you need guidance, refer back to the first part of this series or click below.) Pick a word to begin. I used sensitivity as an example, but it can be anything. Write it on the first page, then move through the zine using simple word association with one word leading to the next until each page contains a word. Once each page has a word, you can play with them… 1. Use Each Word for Self-Reflection Go through each panel and ask: If this word relates to something in my life right now, what could it be pointing to? 2. Expand Each Word Outwards Build around each word. Interpret it from different angles: How do we use this word? What does it remind you of? What is its opposite? Fill the page with associated words and doodles. 3. Combine Words (Jazz Fusion Style) Pair words from different pages. For example, combine 1 and 9, 2 and 10, 3 and 11, and so on. Then explore what each combination brings up. You might end up with things like: Sensitivity profit Microphone tax Sing pressure Talent show cooker Some will feel absurd. Some will spark something unexpectedly useful. There's an abundance of combinations. (Also good if you're looking for a band name.) You can create another mini zine and dedicate a page to each combination. You don't have to choose just one way of playing. Try one, or all of them. The aim is to make connections you wouldn't have made through deliberate logic alone. Exercise Two: Using Objects as Metaphors to Make Connections This second exercise helps you explore your relationship with a specific area of life or situation. We'll keep this one simple and use just one side of the zine. Step 1: Choose Your Objects Pick seven ordinary objects from around you. Don't overthink it. It helps if you can place them in front of you. Step 2: Choose an Area to Explore Select an area you want to understand more clearly. For example: My health My creativity My work Or something more specific, like a decision you need to make or a challenge you're navigating. Write the topic on the front. Step 3: Draw and Reflect On the next seven pages, draw one object per page. As you draw, consider: What is it used for? How does it help? What features does it have? How does it feel, smell, or look? Then go back through and ask: If this object were a metaphor for my creativity (or whatever topic you chose), what would it show? This is where you start to connect the physical items with your internal landscape and the situation you’re exploring. Deepening the Connections Once you've done all seven objects, reflect: What themes repeat across multiple objects? If I were to focus on one area first, what am I drawn to? One approach I love is adding these objects to a visual map. I treat each one as a region in a larger territory and play with the links between them. This creates a visual representation of where I am in relation to my challenges, desires, and options. The purpose isn't to force answers. It's to see your position more clearly so you can navigate it more meaningfully. There are no hard rules here. Follow your intuition. Let your imagination carry you. The point is to make connections that help you see where your strengths, resources, and choices fit with the bigger picture. If you try either of these exercises, I'd love to hear how you get on. Send me a message here.
Here is a follow-up to my previous video, in which I explored how I use foldable mini-zines to generate creative ideas. This time, I share two specific approaches I’ve found helpful for brainstorming and expanding ideas. The first is about expanding ideas in playful, often surprising ways. The second focuses on generating questions for personal inquiry, which I use to better understand and navigate challenges, decisions, and obstacles that leave me feeling stuck. Whether you want a creative way to spend a few minutes, free up your thinking, or shake some stagnation out of a project, these practices are simple and adaptable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H1lAByXzJU Exercise One: Expanding Ideas From the Inside Out This first exercise begins with a single prompt. The aim is to write one associated thought on each panel of a folded mini-zine. If you need instructions on how to fold and cut the mini-zine, watch the first video. For my example, I'm using our current Haven theme, Unfinished Maps. You can use any topic at all. If you'd like to keep it light, just pick something in the room that catches your attention. A standard mini-zine has 15 inside panels (not including the cover), leaving plenty of space to think literally, laterally, humorously, absurdly, or tenuously. Phase One: Generate Set a timer. Five minutes works well for me. It keeps me from overthinking while giving enough time to fill each panel. The aim is to let your first thoughts hit the paper without editing. Write down whatever comes to mind, however surprising or unrelated it may seem. You might notice memories, old stories, or long-forgotten ideas resurfacing. Pay attention to how words sound. Is there a pun to be played with? Or an alternative spelling? Phase Two: Expand Once every panel has something on it, spend a few minutes building on each idea. I usually give 3–5 minutes per panel. Stay focused on the single idea in front of you rather than how it connects to the original theme. Let your mind make associations and see where they lead. Phase Three: Bring It Home If it feels useful, finish by reflecting. Hold each panel up against your original prompt and ask: What stands out? Are there patterns emerging? Which threads feel alive? What might be worth carrying forward? You're not forcing conclusions. You're simply noticing what has energy. That's it. Here's what came out for me… Exercise Two: Brainstorming Questions for Personal Inquiry The second exercise aims to help with brainstorming questions for personal inquiry. It's especially helpful when you want to open up a line of questioning around something specific: for example, a decision, a challenge, or an area you want to explore more intentionally. Questions are great for widening our perspective. They help us see familiar terrain from new angles. My example prompt for this one is: I've Lost My Momentum. As before, I fold a blank A4 sheet into a mini-zine and write the topic on the front. This time, instead of filling each panel with ideas, I fill them with questions. I spend around 10–15 minutes generating one question per panel. These are questions I would genuinely love answers to. Here's what I came up with… I enjoy this approach because it gives me up to two weeks of journal prompts on a single theme. After writing the questions, I usually refine them slightly so they feel open, clear, and relevant. You can respond in whatever format suits you. I tend to bring one question into my morning journaling practice and see where it leads. It often feels like turning on a tap: insights connect, and new perspectives emerge naturally. Play, Experiment, and Adapt These exercises are shared as inspiration, not rigid instruction. They are methods I've found effective for expanding ideas and deepening personal inquiry, and I encourage you to adapt them to your own rhythms and preferences. Notice what works and what doesn't. Adjust the timing. Change the prompts. Make it more visual, more absurd, more structured: whatever suits you. These are playful, exploratory processes. They aren't outcome-driven or designed to guarantee a specific result. Often, the most valuable insights arrive as by-products: unexpected connections that emerge when given enough space.
In 2017, Olivia Lone Bear disappeared from the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota. Months later, her truck was discovered submerged in a reservoir, but the answers never surfaced. As the investigation stalled, the story of a missing mother and the community that searched tirelessly for her became part of a larger, devastating pattern: the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women whose cases remain unsolved, yet refuse to be forgotten.If you have any information regarding the death of Olivia Lone Bear, you are urged to contact the FBI at: 1-800-CALL-FBI, or you can submit a tip at fbi.tips.govCheck out Adventures with Purpose Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comFeaturing a Promo for True Crime Connections:True Crime Connections is a survivor-led podcast where stories of abuse, trauma, and resilience are shared with raw honesty and purpose.Listen hereBody found in submerged truck believed to be missing mother of five.

Podcast 405 "Pen and paper will solve almost anything. Or at least start the process." - Nicholas Bate This week, I have a special episode for you about what I have discovered over the last two years from bringing pens and paper back into my productivity system. It's certainly been an eye-opener for me.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. A week ago, I launched a brand new course called the Hybrid Productivity Course. The purpose of this course was to help those who have found that a digital-only approach has led to a loss of focus on what's important and a sense of extreme overwhelm and distraction. As in most areas of life, a one-size-fits-all methodology rarely works. All humans are unique. We think differently, have different life experiences, grow up differently and experience life through many different cultures. It stands to reason that none of us will have exactly the same needs as everyone else. We saw this during the pandemic. Around 50% of people loved working from home. They thrived and became much more productive. The other 50% struggled, found it hard to do their work, and lost their enthusiasm and energy for it. This highlighted the difference between extroverts and introverts. Extroverts bounce off the energy of other people. They need the bustling office environment to operate. Take that away, and they slump. Introverts, on the other hand, thrive in the opposite conditions. Quiet spaces and solo environments are where they thrive. I always struggled in an office environment. I found it difficult to concentrate and focus. When I began working from home in 2015, my productivity went through the roof. I suddenly had the freedom to work when I liked, where I liked and in the quiet solitude of my front living room. One advantage of an all-digital system is that you can easily add many features to your digital tools without much thought. I noticed this while testing Todoist's new feature, Ramble. Ramble lets you have a conversation with Todoist, and it pulls out all the things you indicate need to be done. Sounds great in theory, until you test it out. Just a two-minute “conversation” with Ramble led to 15 tasks! When I went back into my inbox to sort them out, I realised that the majority of those tasks were low-value, would-be-nice-to-do tasks, but realistically, there was no way I would have the time to do them. I edited down that list of 15 to 6 tasks. The problem is that most people will not edit these lists. It's time-consuming, and you have to think it through. Two things that are out of fashion these days, it seems. This is where I found bringing a pen and notebook back into my system really helped. It forced me to edit down my list of tasks for the day. It also made me smarter when writing my lists. If I had five people to call today, in the digital system, I would write out all five calls independently. It didn't take long, and most of those would already be in the digital system. All I had to do was add a date. In a paper system, it would mean writing out all those calls individually. You soon find that rather than doing that, you would write “do my calls”. Writing those three words strangely reinforced the action. All you then needed to do was to ensure that any communication tasks were correctly labelled in your digital system. This is where the seeds of a hybrid system began to take shape. If it were easier to collect using digital tools, then why stop doing it that way? If you were more focused when writing out a daily to-do list than using a digital to-do list, why stop doing that? My idea was to marry the two. This led to the development of what I call my Day Book. However, before I got there, I went back to my roots and used the Franklin Planner for eighteen months. The strength of the Franklin Planner is in the way the daily pages are laid out. You have your daily prioritised task list on the left, your calendar for the day next to it, and, on the right page, a place to keep notes and ideas. This means that once you have written your appointments, you can see how much time you have available to do tasks. It forces you to be realistic. If you had seven hours of meetings and began writing out a long list of tasks, you would instantly see that you were creating an impossible day. If you were to consider meeting overruns, the “urgent” messages and “quick questions” that will inevitably come your way that day, it's likely you won't be doing any tasks. Yet the digital system won't show you that. All it shows you are the tasks you have dated for today. And let's be honest, most people are adding dates to tasks, not because they need to be done that day, but because they are afraid they will forget about them or they will get lost in the system. That's not how a to-do list is meant to work. It's meant to give you a clear indication of what needs to be done. On a day-to-day basis, that means what needs to be done today. The act of writing down on a piece of paper the tasks that need to be done today forces you to be realistic. When it comes to storage, though, paper is not so great. It's here where digital tools shine. You can easily store files and documents. You can keep meeting notes together in one place and create a master project note for all your projects, so everything is kept together in one convenient place. And of course, digital's piece de resistance, search. If you were to keep all your notes in notebooks, you would soon have notebooks all over the place, and notes would be difficult to find unless you carefully indexed every notebook you used. Perhaps not the best use of your time. Instead, you can keep all your notes in a notes app, and allow it to use keywords, date ranges or titles to find what you need when you need it. However, I have discovered that paper is a great planning medium. This is where I always used to struggle. When I first began teaching, there were no such things as Evernote or Apple Notes. They didn't come along until five years after I began teaching. I therefore used my old counsel notebooks. These were what would be described as foolscap in size, slightly taller than A4, and had a royal blue cover. Given that throughout my school and university days, I would always plan out my essays on paper, it was perfectly natural for me to make notes on paper when planning my lessons. Then we had the digital explosion. Smartphones became a thing, followed shortly afterwards by apps. I began using Evernote in 2009, and I started planning digitally. It was certainly convenient, but I did notice I rarely went into any depth. I tried using mind-mapping software, but it didn't help. I thought there must be something wrong with me. Then, a couple of years ago, I began seeing studies about how our brains work differently between digital and physical tools. The most striking studies found that when you write on paper (or a whiteboard), you activate the same areas that artists activate when creating art. This is the creative centre of your brain. When you tap on a keyboard, you don't. Tapping is formulaic and monotonous. If you think about this, it makes perfect sense. When you handwrite, you are forming shapes. Letters are shapes. When you write via keyboard, all you are doing is tapping. There's nothing artistic about that. This was when the penny finally dropped for me. There was nothing wrong with me! It was science. Now, I would never consider opening up my phone or laptop to sketch out an idea. I would open a notebook. One of my favourite ways of doing this is to grab a notebook, a few pens and a pencil and head off to a local cafe for an hour or two. I can sit in a corner and brainstorm ideas for new courses, YouTube videos and blog posts. Since I began doing this, my productivity has improved significantly. It helped because I have fewer re-edits to do. When I sit down at the computer to write, I now have a fully planned-out structure and well-thought-through points, and I am writing the first draft much faster. It seems that planning works best on paper, yet storage and output are best digital. Again, leading to the conclusion that there is a place for both digital and analogue tools in a solid productivity system. I saw this all in action recently. I was watching a UK Supreme Court session, where a barrister (a lawyer who speaks before a judge, not someone who makes coffee) had an iPad in front of him containing all the case files and documents. Yet his speaking notes were on paper. As he made his arguments before the judge, he marked off the points with a pencil and added notes. The opposing barrister was also using the same tools. Her case files were on an iPad, yet as she listened to her opposite number, she was taking notes in a notebook and appeared to be adding revisions to her own speaking notes. What's more, if we're being honest, stationery is much more fun than digital tools. Digital fonts, screens and keyboards are not really all that exciting. But the many different types of pens, pencils, notebooks, and pencil cases at all different price ranges give you the ultimate way to make your tools truly personal. I'm sure you already know I love fountain pens. I've been writing with them since middle school and just love the way the nib feels on a quality sheet of paper. I remember being excited when Apple brought out the Apple Pencil. When I got one, and tried it out I was horrified. It was the worst writing experience I'd ever had. I've tried Paperlike and tested a Remarkable. Yuk! None of them comes close to the experience you get from a real pen and paper. And so, after two years of testing, playing and refining, I came up with what I would describe as the “perfect” system. A method that marries the power of digital with analogue tools. Digital for storage and output, paper for planning and thinking. It works. I tested it with some of my coaching clients, and even my wife has started using it for her university studies. What's more, it works superbly with the Time Sector System. You keep all your tasks in your digital task manager, and only when you decide to do them, you put them on paper. What you will discover immediately is that you are no longer staring at an almost infinite list of things you could do, and instead, you see a list of genuine tasks that need to be done today. No more overwhelm, just a focused list and a realistic day. If you are interested in learning more about this course, I will put a link in the show notes. Currently, you can get the course with the early-bird discount for just $49.95. But if you're not interested, try using a notebook for your planning and daily task list this week. Watch what happens to your productivity. Thank you for listening, and it just remains for me to wish you all a very, very productive week.

On a blisteringly hot day in Phoenix, Arizona, 13-year-old Myron Traylor set out with his mother to do laundry. He stopped for a drink as his mother continued on, promising to catch up with her, but he never did. What would follow would be a decades-long mystery, plagued by rumors, as investigators searched for the missing boy. With no evidence, only theories to base a motive on, and a witness who may know more than what they're saying, this is the story of a boy who was here one moment and gone the next.

‘Fagbevægelsen uden filter' skifter navn til ‘Den danske model' og får et bredere sigte. Værterne på 'Den danske model' er A4 Mediers nye overenskomstredaktør, Kristoffer Ingemand, og faglig kommentator Gitte Redder.Hvis du vil lytte med, så bliv blot hængende. Podcasten får nemlig sit nye navn helt automatisk lige her fra torsdag den 11. februar.”A4 er mediet for hele den danske model, og det er naturligt, at vores overenskomst-podcast afspejler, at arbejdsgiverorganisationernes interne dynamikker er lige så centrale som fagbevægelsens for den danske model,” siger A4 Mediers interim ansvarshavende direktør, Andreas Antoni Lund.Hvor ‘Fagbevægelsen uden filter' primært har kigget ind i fagbevægelsens maskinrum, vil A4's podcast zoome ud og favne hele systemet.Det betyder både journalistik om dagsordener hos arbejdsgiverorganisationer, fagforbund samt de aftaler, konfliktlinjer og strategiske overvejelser, der former samspillet mellem parterne.Ifølge Andreas Antoni Lund ligger ambitionen i at skabe endnu større indsigt i de kræfter, der påvirker arbejdsmarkedets struktur.”Den danske model bliver til i spændingsfeltet mellem to sider af bordet. Det er i mødet, brydningerne og kompromiserne, at der opstår nye spilleregler og løsninger. Vores podcast skal være stedet, hvor lytterne får adgang til de historier, der normalt foregår bag lukkede døre – uanset om de udspringer hos lønmodtagerne eller hos arbejdsgiverne,” siger Andreas Antoni Lund.Selvom indholdet får et bredere sigte, fortsætter podcastens tone og journalistiske greb i samme ånd. ”Lytterne vil fortsat kunne genkende den skarpe og uafhængige journalistik. Men de får flere aktører, flere historier og et mere komplet billede af, hvordan den danske model faktisk udvikler sig - fortsat helt uden filter,” understreger redaktionschefen.Med justeringen vil A4 Medier styrke sin position som det samlende medie for hele den danske model.”Den danske model bliver kun stærkere af, at vi som medie udfordrer og belyser den fra alle vinkler. Vi vil med vores vært, kommentator og gæster give lytterne et overblik, som ingen andre medier tilbyder,” siger Andreas Antoni Lund.‘Den danske model' udkommer første gang i sin nye form torsdag 12. februar.

Denne episoden utforsker skjæringspunktet mellom observerbar adferd, personlighetspsykologi og sosiale strukturer. Harald Eia bruker sin karakteristiske analytiske linse for å dekonstruere hvordan vi forstår menneskelig natur. Kvalitativ forsknings sårbarhet: Samtalen belyser en epistemologisk utfordring i sosiologien gjennom historien om professor William Pedersen. Professorens "gullinformant" viste seg å være Sturla, en person med mytomane trekk som bevisst serverte forskeren de narrativene han søkte. Dette illustrerer hvordan forskere risikerer å bekrefte egne biaser når de stoler blindt på informanter i lukkede miljøer. Moral som sosial valuta i lovløse rom: Et sentralt sosiologisk poeng er at eksplisitt moralisme øker når man befinner seg utenfor statens verktøysystem. Mens folk i "A4-livet" sjelden trenger å forholde seg aktivt til moral fordi de bare følger etablerte systemer, blir moral en kritisk proxy for tillit i kriminelle miljøer eller på gata. Her kan små ting, som en glemt dobørste, utløse voldsomme moralistiske reaksjoner fordi personlig pålitelighet er den eneste garantien man har. Mesterhjerne-myten: Samtalen dekonstruerer myten om den intellektuelt overlegne forbryteren. IQ henger tett sammen med generell hjernehelse, empati og eksekutivfunksjoner (impulskontroll). Statistisk sett tenderer domfellelte mot lavere IQ-score, noe som antyder at kriminalitet ofte er et resultat av manglende impulskontroll snarere enn briljant planlegging. "Mesterhjerner" fremstår ofte som genier kun fordi de sammenlignes med et miljø preget av lavere eksekutivfunksjon. Det nasjonale utmattelsesprosjektet: Avslutningsvis reflekterer Eia over et moderne paradoks: Til tross for høy dekning av helsepersonell og materiell velstand, preges den norske befolkningen av økende utmattelse og smerte. Han foreslår at det mest presserende samfunnsprosjektet er å identifisere metodene som faktisk kan øke livskvaliteten og redusere denne kollektive utmattheten.

Attention Wealthy Beatles Fans (TM)! How do you feel about 13 tracks? No, not “of whack”, as Walter Becker might have presented us, while he was still alive anyway. But rather, 13 tracks of unearthed Beatles demos & takes, nearly all of which are pure gems, now available on “Anthology 4”. Awesome, yes? Now, how do you feel about spending $74 for a deluxe vinyl package (excuse me? SIR?) with 36 tracks of whack. Does it make you feel better to know that you're spending that hard earned cash on 36% “new” material, and; coincidentally, (Beatles) '64% of music you already bought on previous deluxe reissues? Good news, because as the Fat Boys once sang, “Baby you're a rich man, too!” Look, we like to joke around at the UBP, it's what makes us Apple's only legally/emotionally authorized Beatles podcast (TBD). OF COURSE we're grateful for “new” Beatles goodies we've never heard before. Early takes of “Tell Me Why”! “Every Little Thing!” “In My Life”! Surely, “A4” has been curated for both the die-hard and casual Beatles fan, yes? What's that? Oh you were expecting a “Yes, and?” Well we love improv, too. It's our water, our oxygen, our physical fitness. In fact, improv is what makes us The Second City's only legally/emotionally authorized Beatles podcast (TBD). So not only do Tony & T.J. begin to deep dish “Anthology 4: Less Faster But Even More Furious”, but they yes and themselves into veritable Don knots over:
This week on America on the Road, Jack Nerad and guest co-host Matt DeLorenzo test two vastly different vehicles, both with stellar performance potential. In our road test segment, Matt and Jack share their drives of the new 2026 Audi A5 and S5, now a liftback duo that replaces both the A4 sedan and A5 Sportback. Jack also reviews Hyundai's most luxurious electric SUV yet, the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9 Calligraphy. And in our interview segment, Jack speaks with Matthew Jones, founder of Towlos, a fast-growing trailer-sharing marketplace with a unique origin story. Jack and Matt also reflect on the aftermath of the Los Angeles Auto Show, where the pair got a first look at several major debuts. They also share insider commentary as longtime jurors for the North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards, which announced their 2026 finalists at the show.
Foundations of Amateur Radio The first step in solving any problem is recognising that there is one. In my case the name of that problem is "logging". Specifically the storage and collection of my amateur radio contact logs. Just to be clear, the actual process of logging is fraught .. what do you log, as in, which pieces of information are germane to the purpose of logging, do you log your own callsign, or do you only collect that once per session, do you log in UTC, or in local time, if you're logging in local time, do you record where you're logging, do you record what power level, which antenna, what radio, the battery voltage, you get the idea. Then there's .. when do you log? Do you log each and every session on-air, weekly nets, chat sessions on the local repeater, do you log the time when you establish the contact, once you've deciphered their callsign, or once the contact ends, and if you never wear a watch, how do you know what time it is? What do you log with? Is it using pen and paper, pencil and paper, on a sheet of A4, or A5, in a binder, in a scrapbook, in an exercise book, in a journal, a diary, on ruled, grid or on plain paper, or do you log with a computer and if you do that, using which of the seven gazillion logging packages that are available to you? I'm not talking about any of those things, though I suppose you could argue that I'm addressing one of the gazillion options, but stick with me. I have, sitting on my desk, fourteen different logbooks. That's not unreasonable, almost one for each year that I've been licensed. Except that these books are not in any way consistent, they're essentially bound pieces of scrap paper with log entries scribbled in the available space, sometimes I've reversed a spiral notebook, just so I can avoid the spiral with my writing hand, sometimes it's oriented in landscape, other times in portrait. Some are smaller than A5, others are foolscap and intended for accounting purposes. Next to that pile are too many empty logbooks, intended for future use. Why so many, you ask? Well it goes like this. You go to the office supply store to look for a suitable logbook. You buy it and try it. You use it for a bit and decide that you either love or hate it. If you hate it, you go back to the store to try and find another one. If you love it, your problem becomes finding an identical logbook. In a fit of inspiration, I loved the grid layout of my tiny spiral notebooks, and decided that this was the one for me, but they're no longer available, so instead I bought twenty A4 7mm grid exercise books with a soft cover, which I hate, and that was after trying to get a third Account Book Journal with a hard cover. There's also several A5 spiral bound books, but they're too chunky for portable operation and their spiral is annoying for logging. There's also various empty ring binders and paper ready for logging in the garage. Who knew that there are apparently multiple disconnected universes where so-called universal loose-leaf hole punched paper doesn't fit ring binders with more than two rings, I suppose that's like different implementations of the same version of ADIF, but I'll admit that I'm bitter and have digressed well off topic. I will say this, stationery and I clearly have an unhealed relationship. That's not the half of it. My computer has at least 208 ADIF and Cabrillo files on it. I say "at least", since that's the ones I found when looking for ADI, ADIF and CAB files. Removing identical files, nets me 171 text files which I'm pretty sure are all log files, 50-thousand lines, but that's with some having a one line per contact and others having a dozen, depending on which software wrote the file. It's going to take a moment, since those 208 files are scattered among 74 different directories. Then there's the files that "wsjt-x" and "fldigi" create, but right now I'm not sure what the extensions for those are, I think one is called "all.txt", and looking inside, it helpfully does not have a year in the logged data, so that's fun. My computer also has logs in "cqrlog", "xlog" and "VKCL", probably others. Then there's the logs I have online. The log for F-troop is a single spreadsheet, it has nearly 10,000 entries. I know that there's other files online and likely in other places like the various clubs I've operated at .. fortunately or not, most of those were done with the club callsign, so I'm calling those out of scope, at least for now. Then there's the entries in LoTW, Clublog, eQSL, probably QRZ and likely more. It all started out so innocently. I made my first contact in 2011 and forgot to log it. Since then I've been extolling the virtues of making sure that everyone around me logs their first contact. Meanwhile I've been pulling my hair out trying to make sense of the fragmented disaster that is represented by logging in amateur radio. I'll take responsibility for my own mess, but I have to point the finger at my predecessors who still cannot agree on what to log, how to log and how to store or convert it, despite a century of logging. It's not for the want of trying. It's that the nature of logging in this hobby is less than consistent, to say the least. Each contest wants their log in some special format, logging tools pick their own format that's incompatible with that of another tool, if you're lucky that incompatibility is obvious, but more likely than not it's subtle. Among all those sources of log entries that I've mentioned are undoubtedly going to be duplicate contacts. There's going to be incorrect transcriptions, inaccurate record keeping, wrong times, missing years and all the other things that come to mind when you describe a data entry problem. Fortunately I have some experience with data entry. It was the transcribing of a recent POTA, or Parks On The Air, log that triggered an insight for me. Faced with the reality of entering contacts into something electronic, based on a bound notebook with log entries scribbled all over it, basically a pretty piece of scrap paper, I needed to solve a specific problem. Namely, the fact that I was entering this data for another amateur, who would be uploading it into the relevant POTA system. I had no idea what the field requirements were, didn't know where they'd be uploaded to, nor what format they needed, so I improvised, figuring that getting both the logged and inferred data into some table would be a good start, so I used a spreadsheet. After completing the task, I had my epiphany. What if I logged ALL my contacts in a spreadsheet? I can sort it by whichever column I want, I can have as many columns as I need, a squillion rows if I make that many contacts, I can convert it to whatever format the next contest manager desires and I can back it up like any other spreadsheet. Better still, it's software agnostic. If I suddenly discover the next best logging tool since toasted sliced bread with creamed honey, I can convert my sheet into something that's required. Better yet, I can extract the data from that tool and put it back into the spreadsheet after discovering the author has a propensity of making random changes that are incompatible with my worldview. So, spreadsheet. Oh, yeah, I won't be using Excel, it has a, let's call it, nasty habit of converting anything that remotely resembles a date into one, even when you don't want it to. Clippy lives on .. apparently. I'll likely photograph each page and to keep track of which logs I've entered, I'll put a coloured dot on a page when I've entered it into my spreadsheet. Once a logbook is entered, I'll mark it in some way too. Then I'll have to massage the existing electronic data. I can't wait. How have you solved your contact logging problem? I'm Onno VK6FLAB
SCP-3925 is a phenomenon where affected individuals receive an A4 paper form requesting varying personal details (SCP-3925-1). From the first receipt of SCP-3925-1 individuals are considered to be affected by an ongoing SCP-3925 event. If SCP-3925-1 is completed successfully and placed in a mailbox within 30 days, it will dematerialize and the SCP-3925 event will conclude.Content Warnings: Attempted suicide, and vehicle accidentTranscriptPatronsAug 1 - 15 PatronsAtkella, Nexar, Bruh Moment, Wrango552, William Swanson, Gaby Collaros, Cyka, Scarlet Wagner, Lacealot124, Reagan, Onyxia Rivera, doug Hall, Juan Rodriguez, Teaghan Shackelford, brian, Pls Read Strawpage (Glitch), Garrett Rogers, Sneed Chuckle, Beesnees, Cassi Rastanis, BackroomsRooke, Shaun Cobble, Leon Leenen, Roy Davies, fecinies, Justin Durfee, Matt zaplishny, Jaden Sisco, DrewBlue, Balardson, Jackson, Cameron Gray, Nater070and Cyrus!Cast & Crew SCP Archives was created by Pacific S.

“I used to say, ‘I sure hope things will change, ' then I learned that the only way things are going to change for me is when I change." That's a quote from the wonderful Jim Rohn. A strong proponent of developing a plan for your life, and a part of that is creating a strong plan for the new year. In this special episode, I'll walk you through the steps for the Annual Planning Season, which began on October 1st.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. A mistake I used to make was to come up with some ideas about what I would like to change in the new year in that gap between Christmas and the New Year. The only reason I ever did that was because my friends were asking, “What are your New Year's resolutions?” I never really had any, so I used to quickly think up some cool-sounding ideas and say that was what I was going to do. And yet, it wasn't always like that. When I was a competitive athlete in my teens, each year in December, I would sit down with my coach and plan what we would achieve the following year. What times we were going for and which races were to be the “big ones”. I still remember the year I broke 2 minutes for the 800 metres and 4 minutes for the 1,500 metres. We knew I was close, having ended the previous year at 2 minutes 3 seconds for the 800 and 4 minutes 6 seconds for the 1,500. All that was needed was a good, strong winter and pre-season training. I remember going into 1986 in one of the most positive frames of mind ever. Then, when I stopped running competitively—one of my biggest regrets—I stopped planning the year. And that coincided with my not achieving very much. I drifted from one job to another. Had no idea what I wanted to do, and I remember feeling unfulfilled and lost. Fortunately, I rediscovered annual planning. The sitting down and thinking about what I wanted to accomplish. It was that restart that resulted in me coming to Korea, and discovering my passion—teaching. Everything I have achieved over the last 23 years can be traced back to following my annual planning method. From finding a career I loved, to getting married and moving to the East Coast of Korea—one of the most beautiful places in the world—and starting the company I run today, now employing four people. All of these ideas began with the annual planning method. So, what is the annual planning method? Well, it's five simple questions you ask yourself and give some thought to over two months—October and November. Those five questions are: What would you like to change about yourself? What would you like to change about your lifestyle? What would you like to change about the way you work? What could you do to challenge yourself? What goals would you like to achieve? Let me explain the kind of things you can think about. What would you like to change about yourself? This is about you. Your current habits and routines. Are these delivering the results you want? When I sat down to write Your Time, Your Way, I knew I had to sacrifice some exercise time in order to write. I was okay with that, and I also knew a consequence of reducing my exercise time would be a gain in weight. Two years later, I had gained eight kilograms (about 17 ½ pounds)! Not good. If my weight exceeds 83 kilograms, I feel sluggish and quickly become tired. So, in my planning last year, I made it a non-negotiable to get my weight back to my regular weight of 80 kilograms (about 176 pounds or 12 ½ stone) Today, as I write this, my weight is 80.5 kgs. Well within my weight window. That all started with asking myself, “What do I want to change about myself?” The answer was to get back into my regular exercise routine. So, what would you like to change about yourself? Are you doing things that are not contributing to the results you want? Are you not consistently planning your days or weeks? Are you not moving enough? Are you spending too much time sitting down in front of a screen and not enough time in nature? Another one is how you dress. The pandemic saw a collapse in the way people dressed. This may not interest you, but perhaps you'd like to dress better when you go out. What could you do to improve your dress sense? Maybe you'd like to begin journaling or meditation. Write anything you consider down. You're not committing to anything yet; you're brainstorming ideas. The commitments you make come in December. October and November are all about developing ideas and going deep. The next question, “What do I want to change about my lifestyle?” Is about how you live your life every day. Is your house a mess? Do you leave your bed unmade when you get up in the morning? What about your car? Is it a garbage can on wheels? Perhaps you'd like to come home to a clean home at the end of the day? If so, what could you do to change things? One idea that my wife and I had at the end of 2019 was to move to the East Coast of Korea. To do that, we knew we'd have to finally get a car. Living in Seoul, the capital city, with its superb public transport system, meant that having a car was not a high priority for us. Yet, for us to get out of Seoul and live in a cleaner, quieter city, we needed to explore Korea. So, that became the plan: to buy a car and begin exploring possible places to live. By the end of 2020, we had a car and moved to the East Coast. That change brought some tremendously positive changes in our lives. Yet, I know that had we not sat down to talk about our future plans, we'd still be living in a crowded, noisy, polluted city. Seoul is a great city, don't get me wrong, but with 11 million people sharing it, you can imagine how noisy and crowded it can be. Is there anything you've always wanted to do relating to your lifestyle that you've never considered what you need to do to make happen? Write that down. What would you like to change about the way you work? A great question if you've found yourself stuck in a job or career that leaves you feeling dead inside. Some people I know have decided to completely change their careers when answering this question, while others have started their own businesses. It doesn't have to be as dramatic as that, though. Perhaps you don't like the structure you have in place to do your work. It could be a tools thing, too. Do you need to upgrade the way you manage your tasks and projects? What about your workspace? Does it need an overhaul? I've done that a few times. Does your current workspace feel sterile and cold? Could you change your desk or your chair? If you work from home, can you do anything to make your workspace more stimulating? Perhaps move your desk nearer a window or change the lighting? All these ideas can lead to some fantastic changes. However, you do need time to think things through, and that's what October and November are for. The fourth question is What can you do to challenge yourself? This question is there because often we get stuck in our comfort zones. We become afraid to change anything because we fear what those changes may bring. Yet, if you're not challenging yourself, you soon find yourself trapped in stagnation. Physical challenges are a great place to start. If you feel you've become a little too sedentary, perhaps you could challenge yourself to do a park run in March. Or for those of you who are more ambitious, perhaps you could challenge yourself to do a triathlon or a full marathon in 2026. What about going back to school and getting a degree? One such challenge that comes up each year on my list is to do a master's in contemporary British history. I'm sure it will be on my list this year, too. Think of the things that frighten you. Is there anything you could do to overcome that fear? The final question is What goals would you like to achieve in 2026? There's a reason this is the final question. That's because after you've thought about the previous four questions, you're more likely to think about how you can measure success in the changes you want to make. One such goal my wife and I have already added is to have a big savings goal in 2026. This will affect both our spending habits—no more fountain pen purchases for me (oh no!) We haven't settled on an amount yet, but we're thinking about it. Perhaps you want to set the goal of getting a promotion next year or finally starting that business you've been thinking about for years. Or it could simply be a bad habit that you want to stop. Doom scrolling, the new smoking bad habit, or going to bed earlier. What about reading books? How many would you like to read in 2026? The purpose of these questions is to get you to think. Think about what you want out of life. You are amazing, and there's so much you could do. Yet, you will only be able to do those incredible things if you externalise them and begin to think about how you could make them happen. The best place to keep this list of questions is in a paper notebook. I used to do this digitally, but found I was too easily distracted when trying to write them out on my iPad or phone. When I switched to writing these questions out in my Planning Book—an A4 notebook where I keep all my initial project plans, weekly planning sessions, and YouTube video plans—I found I thought more deeply and better. But, if you prefer digital notes, then by all means use that. Remember, now is not the time to make any firm commitments or even to think about how you will accomplish any of these things. Now is about idea generation. Many of the things you write down may not be practical or realistic next year, but they may begin a chain of thought that leads you towards achieving them in future years. That's why it's important to write your thoughts down in a place to return to next year. It's a starting block. I'm always amazed at what I accomplished when I review my previous years' notes on 1st October. And yes, occasionally disappointed that I didn't follow through with something. The focus, though, is ultimately on 2026. What do you want to accomplish? Now, for those of you who have taken my Time And Life Mastery programme, October's a great time to retake it. When I developed that course, my purpose was to create something you could return to each year to help stimulate ideas and remind you of what you want to do in your life. I must confess, even though it's a course I created and wrote, I use October to go through it myself. It reminds me of my long-term vision of the life I want to live and refocuses me on my objectives. If you haven't joined the programme yet, you can do so today. And if you use the coupon code “codingreat,” you'll get 50% off your purchase. I'll leave the details in the show notes for you. And there you go. That's how to plan out a fruitful, exciting year. Start now and begin thinking about what you want to change. Don't hold back either. Be as wild as you can be. You do not have to commit to anything right now. That's for December. All you are doing now is preparing the land, if you like. You can choose what to sow later. And, one more thing… Have fun with this and talk with your partner and loved ones. I involve my wife because the lifestyle question involves both of us, and the things I want to change about myself can often be stimulated by asking her what she thinks. My wife can be brutally honest, frequently leading to some excellent changes. Thank you for listening, and it just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.
On June 28th, 1992, Doug Guyatt stepped outside his home in Colwood, British Columbia, to tidy up the yard. The house was up for sale, and it needed to look presentable. But that wasn't the only weight hanging over Doug that day. His wife, 34-year-old Shannon Guyatt, had been missing for nearly two weeks.
