The moon is a big topic of conversation within the Red School community. Many who aren't menstruating practice lunar tracking in place of menstrual cycle awareness, and those who have a menstrual cycle often bring moon-inspired questions, such as: ‘should I bleed on the full moon or the new moon?' And ‘what to do when I'm bleeding but the moon is full and I feel pulled in two directions?'. So today we're exploring how cultivating a connection with the moon can support us to enter circular and cyclical time. Our guest today is visual artist and mother April McMurtry. April has been lunar tracking for twelve years, and describes herself as a guide for repairing our relationship with the cyclical nature of time by attuning to the moon.In today's conversation we explore how following the ebb and flow of the moon can help us to transform our habits of overriding of our cyclical nature, as well as break free from the myth and tyranny of consistency.We explore:April's fascinating response to the question of whether we should bleed on the full moon or the new moon (and it might be different to what you think). How motherhood brought April to burnout, which led her to step back from teaching and lean into the wisdom of the moon as a way to get grounded in rhythms, rest and stillness.The beauty that can be found in darkness, and how the end of all cycles deconstructs, dissolves and empties us out in preparation for the new. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Castine, Living Metal, has retreated to his chambers to channel his power. An ancient dragon continues to slam at the city's protective dome. Kley Kaina has been dragged away by Commander Thereus Aegir. Something suspicious lurks inside the Hexcloak Headquarters of Cenn, City of Iron Chains. And Antistrophe Landrace, Brontë Adelvys and Caoimhe Wake have pledged to get to the bottom of it… literally. This week on Perpetua: In Too Deep 02 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.055] Dungeon Maps [DNMP] Cenn Tunnels Map [CTDM] Honestly, even though there are a few spots where you can get into fights, it's hard to call the Cenn Tunnels a dungeon. But because there's a boss fight at the end, and secrets throughout, I decided to put the maps here. It's important to remember that you can dig anywhere but only the spots I've marked here will lead to anything. Don't waste your time digging into empty hollow areas! Map  Map with Solution S - Starting Point Whenever you leave from here, all the enemies encounters down here will re-populate. So if you really wanna grind during this section of the game, this is probably the only place to do it.  1 - Wormking Nest If you are desperate for XP, you can dig into this hollow in order to fight a wormking (it's like a ratking but for worms). Each time you dig a new passage into this zone, another battle will start. Not worth the time in my opinion, but maybe it's worth it if you're right at the edge of a level! 2 - Buried Dig Site An old dig site from before Castine's Moon appeared a hundred years ago. There's a few random valuables that you can find here. I got a golden shovel! 3 - Ore Vein You can get some upgrade materials here. Especially useful if you're trying to upgrade Antistrophe's shields! 4 - Flegg Alcove Three level-synched fleggs will spawn here as soon as you enter the tunnels at point S. If you take too long, they'll start wandering around and can actually ambush you! E - Exit This is where you can start digging your way towards the Hexcloak Headquarter Basement. Make sure you're all healed up and ready for a boss fight!

What sorrow awaits rebellious, polluted Jerusalem, the city of violence and crime! No one can tell it anything; it refuses all correction. It does not trust in the Lord or draw near to its God. Its leaders are like roaring lions hunting for their victims. Its judges are like ravenous wolves at evening time, who by dawn have left no trace of their prey. Its prophets are arrogant liars seeking their own gain. Its priests defile the Temple by disobeying God's instructions. But the Lord is still there in the city, and he does no wrong. Day by day he hands down justice, and he does not fail. - Zephaniah 3:1-5The book of Zephaniah, while being another in the line of prophets sharing God's message of judgment and repentance, deserves more time and attention than what we tend to give it. Only three chapters long, God's message through Zephaniah is a direct yet beautiful encapsulation of the themes we've seen so often in the prophets. It's a book about humility and unity. It's a book about repentance and turning hearts towards God. It's a book about God's judgment against oppressors, poor leaders, and idolatry. It's a book about the coming of the Lord and the God who not only saves, but will live among his people. To help us navigate the book of Zephaniah is Taylor Turkington, director of BibleEquipping, author of the book Trembling Faith on Habakkuk and has a commentary on Zephaniah being released next year. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

Where has Santa Claus gone?Once upon a time there was Santa Claus's Village — but Santa Claus wasn't there. He had been missing for days and days… actually for months. Who would prepare and deliver gifts to the children as they did every year?That part of the North Pole which was usually very busy had become strangely silent — not an Elf could be seen around, no sounds of bells, the sleighs were covered in snow and all the reindeer dozed about confused.If you looked into his house you couldn't see a trace of life. The fireplace cold, the rocking chair covered in cobwebs, an empty cup on the wooden table and a candle stub burnt out long ago.Many were the rumours that had spread about Santa Claus's absence. Some said he was on another planet in a far, far away galaxy, some on the Moon, some on the vast oceans — and someone even said he had opened a bakery in Buenos Aires.The mystery was thick. Nobody could make sense of it and everything was silent and still.Meanwhile, many miles away, in the Southern Seas, a group of seagulls who spent their days fluttering above the bay spotted a small sailing boat in the distance. There was only one sailor on board who was hoisting the main sail up the creaking mast.The eldest seagull couldn't believe his eyes. He did a couple of acrobatics in the air, pulled out his spyglass, looked more carefully and said: "But I know him! That sailor comes from distant lands!"Turning to the other seagulls he told them: "One day, during one of my long journeys, I lost my way and found myself on the frozen rooftops of a village at the North Pole. I landed right on the house of that long-bearded man you see on the boat. He heard me calling for help, came to fetch me, fed me and told me about his work. I think this meeting has something magical about it. Our next adventure is about to begin."Gliding down, they headed towards the boat and all landed on the bow. The seagull and the sailor greeted each other like old friends.Shortly after, a group of dolphins arrived near the sailing boat, curious. They swam in circles around the boat, jumping out of the water.The youngest dolphin noticed something strange. "Look! Wood shavings are coming out of the hold and floating! And you can see little lights below deck."The long-bearded sailor smiled. "Come," he said in a warm voice, "I'll show you what I've done all these months."He opened the hatch to the hold and inside, by the light of two swaying lanterns, you could see a floating workshop full of wonders. With a sharp plane he had worked pieces of wood recovered from the sea, transforming them into toys — and he had done the same with shells, coconuts, cork stoppers, glass bottles, starfish and golden threads that had arrived from who knows where."I travelled to learn new ways of bringing joy," the sailor explained. "But there's so much work to do and Christmas is coming. Would you help me finish?"And so they all set to work together. The dolphins brought special shells from the bottom of the sea. The seagulls gathered coloured feathers. The objects transformed into gifts were placed in large canvas sacks.The days passed quickly.On the first of December the captain, wearing his red warm hat with his pipe in his mouth, looked at the starry sky and said: "It's time to leave."The dolphins lifted the sailing boat until it rose above the waves. The sails filled with wind and it took flight, whilst the flock of seagulls guided it through the clouds following dreams. Together they continued the journey heading north, flying through the endless blue.Night fell quickly and in the sky full of stars one shone brighter than all the others. It was the North Star which with its light accompanied the sailing boat's descent to earth.By magic, as it approached the village, the sailing boat transformed into a sleigh loaded with gifts. The presents built in the hold arrived in the workshop to be delivered together with all the other parcels.When it landed on the roof of his house, a tinkling of bells was heard in the distance. The Elves looked out of their doors and shouted: "It's him! It's him! It's Santa Claus! He's back!"The red-nosed reindeer woke up suddenly and began polishing the sleighs, decorating them with bows and coloured pine cones.Life in the village awakened all at once. The tree branches shook as if they were being tickled. A group of penguins, who had arrived at the North Pole to lend a hand, sliding on the ice sheets at great speed, ended up inside snowdrifts and came out like bouncing balls.“You are so funny! We'll hang you on the Christmas tree as decorations!" the village animals shouted.But the penguins, freeing themselves from the snow, ran towards Santa Claus's house to help with the preparations.In the village absolutely everyone got moving. The reindeer rushed to the Post Office and filled the sacks with letters, then carried them to the workshop. The Elves with the help of the penguins were ready for work.That morning, when the bells rang out in celebration, foxes, squirrels, hares and bears came running from every corner of the forest to celebrate Santa Claus's return. There was so much to do for the joy of all the children in the world.The air smelt of fir trees and homemade biscuits. The Christmas trees sparkled with icicles like stars. The animals chased each other happily with their noses turned upwards.The preparations began in earnest. Throughout the month of December they worked together — saws that sang, hammers that played, coloured paper that flew. Santa Claus told stories of his journey whilst he hammered and sanded.And when the 24th of December arrived, everything was ready. The presents were loaded onto the sleigh and Santa Claus set off on his most important journey.The seagulls flew away towards new horizons, leaving their footprints on the snowy rooftops.Since that Christmas it is said that Santa Claus never left the North Pole again."What if it was only a tale? Is it true, or not? The final decision is yours!" — Written by Lucia & Marco CiappelliFor the Italian version and many more stories to read and listen to: https://www.storiesottolestelle.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The planet Mercury is shrinking. It’s contracted by several miles since its birth. And it’s continuing to get smaller even now. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. It’s also the smallest major planet in the solar system – a little more than 3,000 miles in diameter – about the width of the 48 states. It has a core of iron and nickel, surrounded by dense layers of rock. And it’s topped by a thin crust. The surface of the planet is marked by lots of impressive cliffs. The biggest is more than 600 miles long and about two miles high. They formed as Mercury lost heat from its interior. As the planet cooled, it shrank. Estimates of how much it’s contracted have ranged from about a mile to about nine miles. A recent study narrowed the range a little bit. It measured the most dramatic features, then scaled that to the surface of the entire planet. The result suggests that Mercury has shrunk by about three to five miles as a result of its cooling. And when you add in some other causes, the total contraction is about four to seven miles. And Mercury is still getting smaller today. This incredible shrinking planet is quite low in the southeast in the dawn twilight for the next few days. It looks like a bright star, but you need a clear horizon to spot it. And because of the viewing angle, it’s easier to spot from more southern latitudes. Tomorrow, the Moon stands to its right or upper right. Script by Damond Benningfield

What actually changes when you understand the blueprint you were born with? Why do certain patterns repeat? Why do some seasons feel heavy, and others open? And can astrology really give clarity without taking away your free will? In this episode, Radhi sits down with The AstroTwins, Ophira and Tali Edut, for a grounded, eye-opening conversation about astrology as a tool for self-understanding, timing, purpose, and relationships. They break down the basics in a way that finally makes sense — from the Sun, Moon, and Rising signs to the North and South Nodes, planetary cycles, and what a birth chart actually shows about your inner world. The twins share how they discovered astrology in college, how being four minutes apart created subtle differences in their charts, and why no one has a “perfect” or “lucky” chart. They explain why astrology shouldn’t be treated as a rulebook, how to avoid becoming dependent on predictions, and why free will matters just as much as the stars. They also explore love and compatibility, what Mercury retrograde is actually about, and why 2026 will bring a major collective reset as Saturn and Neptune meet at zero degrees Aries. In this episode, you’ll learn: What your birth chart reveals beyond your zodiac sign The role of your Sun, Moon, and Rising — and which one people feel the most How the North & South Nodes point to purpose, patterns, and growth Why timing matters: Jupiter return, Saturn return, retrogrades, and yearly cycles How to use astrology without letting it control your decisions What really makes two people compatible (and why “hard” relationships can be meaningful) The difference between Western and Vedic astrology What the AstroTwins predict for 2026 — and why it’s a year of new beginnings This episode is a clear, refreshing reminder that astrology isn’t about telling you who you are — it’s about helping you understand yourself better. When you know the patterns, the timing, and the possibilities, you can make choices with more confidence, clarity, and intention.

Judson enjoys a hookup that goes past the typical twenty minutes and returns to his favorite gay event at his local bathhouse. Brian spends an evening with the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and tries to entice Judson to check out the show. The Hookup of the Week is a twofer from a Daddy who enjoys public sex. The two are then joined by rising Broadway star Jimin Moon, and returning guest Will Wikle, known first for his iconic time spent as a houseguest on Big Brother 5 in 2004, and now as a psychiatric nurse practitioner with his own practice, Peace Park Psychiatry. Jimin talks about performing the leading role of Joe Gillis in the recent Broadway production of Sunset Blvd., the secrets of cruising from the stage, the shift his life has taken since his recent 25th birthday, and the New Year's resolution that revolutionized his sex life. Together, Jimin and Will talk about their chosen family, mentorship in the gay community, how Dads and Daddies helped bring them together, and how they've since developed a relationship that defies labels. Will also updates Brian and Judson on the successful growth of his psychiatry practice, on attending his first organized sex party, the Daddy Issue he spoke about during his first visit, and how Jimin has helped him conquer it. To close, Jimin and Will help Brian and Judson respond to not one, but two Go Ask Your Dad questions: one from a listener in an open marriage who finds the amount of sex his husband needs outside the marriage disconcerting, and a second from a listener debating whether or not he should accept the invitation from a couple 15 years his senior to join them in a throuple.

Dr Lance Benner of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory headed up a team of scientists who used the 70 meter antenna at NASA's Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex to bounce RADAR beams off of the asteroid Florence as it made a close approach to Earth in September of 2017. The RADAR images these researchers obtained reveal that Florence consists of a 2.8 mile diameter primary asteroid which is orbited by two small moons. Florence's two satellites appear to be between three hundred and a thousand feet in diameter and orbit the main asteroid in about 8 and 24 hours respectively. Florence is rare since there are only two other triple asteroid systems among the 16,000 Earth approaching asteroids which asteroid hunters have discovered. We would know more about Florence if Hurricane Irma had not prevented astronomers from using the giant Arecibo RADAR Dish in Puerto Rico to study it. Our curiosity will have to wait since Florence will not come very close again until September 2, 2057.

One of the most troubling aspects of cult dynamics is the way they generate self‑reinforcing histories that can become chaotic and fragmented, leaving individuals disoriented within the broader narrative. We need knowledgeable guides who can help us navigate these stories while providing a grounding in their historical context. I wrote Chapter Three of my book, The Cult of Trump, about the parallels with Jones, Moon, and Hubbard. Don Lattin, this week's podcast guest, concurred, though he personally likened Trump more closely in his mind to Jim Jones, whose leadership culminated in the historic tragedy at Jonestown. Lattin is a long-established and award-winning religion reporter. His work has been published in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The San Francisco Chronicle. Both of us agreed that Trump exhibits traits of malignant narcissism and appears to be steering the United States toward escalating threats and harms.   The MAGA movement itself is a cult, is led by cults, and has demented authoritarian leadership written all over it. Don Lattin is a journalist who has specialized in writing about religions, cults, psychedelic history, cultural norms, and other fascinating topics since the 1970s. He's written seven books, including Jesus Freaks – a True Story of Murder and Madness on the Evangelical Edge and Changing Our Minds: Psychedelic Sacraments and the New Psychotherapy. He is also the author of The Harvard Psychedelic Club: How Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Huston Smith, and Andrew Weil Killed the Fifties and Ushered in a New Age for America.

This episode offers a grounded, emotionally resonant look at why 2025 carried so much heaviness — and what the astrology is signaling as we enter the fiery, forward-moving landscape of 2026. Astrologer KJ Atlas returns to the show to unpack the collective themes that shaped this year: the grief cycles so many have felt, the emotional density created by water-sign retrogrades, the slow-fast disorientation of 2025, and the “first quarter Moon” sensation of seeing the deeper impact of everything set in motion since 2020. KJ and Kehla explore the astrological events that defined 2025 — from the grand water trine, to Mars retrograde in Cancer, to the intense September eclipse season — and how these transits have been quietly reshaping our inner lives, our relationships, and our sense of direction. The conversation then opens into the seismic shifts of 2026: Neptune's once-in-a-lifetime move into Aries, Saturn joining it, February's powerful eclipse season, and the collective pivot into self-led momentum, clarity, independence, and creative fire. Together, they map out what entrepreneurs, creators, leaders, and sensitive beings can expect as the year unfolds. They also share a deeply honest moment from their own friendship — a vulnerable conversation around AI, integrity, and leadership — revealing how 2025 has demanded a level of truth-telling and relational depth from all of us. Their story highlights the very themes this year has surfaced: shedding, discernment, and strengthening what's built to last. Listeners will walk away with a clear understanding of: ✨ Why 2025 felt so dense and emotionally charged ✨ The major astrological transits shaping 2026 ✨ How February's eclipses will ignite momentum and reveal truth ✨ Why authenticity, discernment, and intentional community will define the new business landscape ✨ How to navigate Mercury retrogrades, Jupiter's shift, and the evolving collective energy This is the astrology forecast listeners have been craving — grounded, relatable, emotionally intelligent, and packed with cosmic clarity for the year ahead.

The Space Show Presents BRYCE MEYER, Tuesday, Dec. 9, 2025Quick SummaryWe initially focused on our Space Show program featuring Bryce Meyer discussing his upcoming book on space agriculture, which explores technologies and principles for growing food in space environments. The discussion covered various challenges of space farming, including plant adaptation, soil biomes, and the need for further research on growing crops to maturity in microgravity conditions. The conversation concluded with an examination of agricultural techniques for space colonization, including the use of bioreactors, mushrooms, and various animals for food production, while emphasizing the importance of certifying existing technology and addressing biological questions related to plants in different gravity regimes.Detailed SummaryDavid hosted a Space Show program featuring Bryce Meyer, who discussed his new book “Designing Farms in Space” scheduled for release on January 2nd by Springer Publishing. The book aims to provide a comprehensive guide on technologies and principles for space agriculture, covering topics from biochemistry to farm system calculations. David announced upcoming programs for the month, including guests Manuel Cuba, Isaac Arthur, and Michael Lissner, and reminded listeners of their annual fundraising campaign. Former NASA Administrator Dr. Mike Griffin with be with us Tuesday evening, Dec. 23.Bryce and David discussed the challenges and unknowns of growing plants in space, emphasizing the need to adapt Earth technologies while accounting for microgravity, different gravitational forces, and radiation. Bryce highlighted the lack of data on growing crops to maturity in space and the need for experiments to understand plant responses in these environments. They also touched on the potential impact of the space environment on plants, including chemical emissions from the structure and unknown factors like the moon's magnetic field. David humorously asked about plant consciousness, but Bryce focused on the practical challenges and the importance of further research.Marshall and Bryce discussed the adaptability of plants and the importance of a living soil biome for crop productivity. Bryce explained that while plants are highly adaptive, certain crop strains are specifically optimized for certain conditions. They explored the concept of transforming simulated lunar soil into a living soil biome, with Bryce mentioning research by Adam Williams on using red worms and manure to achieve this. Bryce also described the spectrum of growing methods from aeroponics to soil-based systems, highlighting the benefits of a full soil biome for plant resilience and nutrient availability.Bryce discussed the development of space farming and agriculture, noting that while significant progress has been made, such as China's 360-day closed-loop system with a crew of eight, there are still challenges. He suggested that dietary diversity and the inclusion of animals in the system could improve outcomes, as monotony and inadequate nutrition could lead to weight loss and decreased productivity. John Jossy and David explored the possibility of cultured meat in space, with Bryce warning about the risks of contamination in bioreactors, while suggesting tofu and other resilient crops as viable alternatives.Bryce continued discussing various animals and plants suitable for space agriculture, including chickens, goats, mealworms, and plants for pharmaceuticals. He explained the challenges of shipping animals, particularly mammals, due to their sensitivity during long space journeys. Bryce also highlighted the existing market for vertical farming technologies, which could be adapted for space agriculture, and mentioned the need to test these technologies in different gravity conditions.Our guest talked with us about the evolutionary model for Space Farms and emphasized the importance of adapting agricultural solutions to different settlement types. He noted that while China is ahead in some areas, the U.S. has made significant advancements in bioreactor technology. Bryce outlined a sequence for growing food on Mars, starting with salad greens, followed by high-value crops like peanuts and soybeans, and eventually tree crops like citrus. He also suggested growing strawberries and melons, as well as using aquaponics to cultivate shrimp for protein. The Wisdom Team discussed the potential of using crickets for protein, but Bryce suggested focusing on shrimp instead due to the “ick factor” that could deter settlers.The group discussed the challenges of growing food for children in space, focusing on nutritional needs and the impact of gravity on plant growth. Bryce explained that children require a more diverse amino acid profile and different fat content than adults, suggesting the need for animal or yeast-developed crops. They also touched on the importance of controlling environmental factors like light and CO2 levels for optimal plant growth. The conversation concluded with a discussion on the potential use of LED lights and the need for different growing strategies depending on the location, such as using lava tubes on the Moon or natural sunlight on Mars.Bryce mentioned different agricultural regimes for rotating habitats and the importance of energy calculations in determining the type of lighting used. He explained the processing steps needed to convert raw crops into edible foods, including the use of storage tanks and various storage mechanisms like vacuum packing. Our guest highlighted the role of spices in space agriculture and the challenges of growing certain spices like cinnamon. David inquired about the viability of Mars One's agricultural plan, and Bryce suggested that AI and augmented reality could be used to assist with maintenance and troubleshooting in space habitats without the need for excessive volunteers and labor.The Mars One topic led to a discussion about the labor requirements for farming, noting that while some tasks could be robotically assisted, people would likely be eager to participate in gardening activities. He shared personal anecdotes about his grandmother's farm management and suggested that future farms would need designated farm bosses to oversee operations. Marshall inquired about the maximum population density for efficient space farming, to which Bryce responded that current Earth-based farming supports 8 people per acre, while vertical farming could potentially accommodate 20 people per hectare. The conversation concluded with a discussion about the benefits of mushrooms in farming, particularly their ability to break down lignin in plant waste and their role in managing CO2 and oxygen cycles in closed-loop systems.Bryce continued by talking about agricultural techniques for space colonization, including the use of bioreactors, mushrooms, and various animals for food production. He explained the progression of animal farming in space, starting with birds and rabbits before moving to larger mammals like cows. Bryce also covered the potential use of genetically modified bacteria and lab-grown meat as backup food sources. The discussion touched on the practicality of these methods in space habitats like O'Neill colonies and long-duration space vehicles, considering factors such as radiation, contamination risks, and the efficiency of current agricultural technologies compared to those in the 1970s and 1980s.The challenges and benefits of rotating habitats for plant growth in space, emphasizing that they might be better than growing in lower gravity environments was one of our later topics. Phil inquired about the feasibility of a large-scale, long-duration experiment like Biosphere 2, to which Bryce responded that similar experiments have already been conducted by China and that a larger, more diverse structure like Biosphere 2 would be beneficial. The team touched on the potential ethical concerns surrounding the manipulation of life in space, including animal rights and dietary restrictions based on religious beliefs. Bryce suggested that vegetarian or vegan diets might be more feasible in the early stages of space settlement, as it could take several years to establish a self-sustaining food supply on Mars.Bryce concluded by talking about the need for further studies on space agriculture, emphasizing the importance of certifying existing technology in space and addressing biological questions related to plants in different gravity regimes. He highlighted the potential for large-scale plant testing in rotating settlements or on the moon within the next five to six years, as China is already planning to send plants to the moon. Bryce expressed hope that SpaceX and other experts would collaborate on these efforts, noting that the technology needed is already available. The discussion concluded with a reflection on ethical considerations in food production and consumption.Special thanks to our sponsors:Northrup Grumman, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." That was President John Kennedy in 1961, speaking at the Joint Session of Congress. It is possibly the best example of a project statement ever made.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Join the Time And Life Mastery Programme here.

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.  Starting projects. It can be tough. Where do you start? Where will you find the time? And what do you need to do?  These are just some of the questions you will find yourself asking.  Yet the biggest obstacle to completing a project on time is overthinking and over-planning. Thinking about and planning a project are not the same as working on one. Working on a project is doing something that moves it forward.  Decorating your bedroom will require paint and brushes. The only pre-project decision you need to make is what colour.  The first two steps, therefore, are:  Decide what colour to paint the bedroom Buy paint and brushes I would add a third decision: when. When will you do it?  Once you've done those three things, you're ready to go—no more planning, no more thinking. Just get on and start.  Yet, that's not how most projects go, is it? There's thinking, planning, then creating tasks in your task manager, and if it's a work project, a meeting, then perhaps another meeting.  Often, by the time a project is conceived, 80% of the time required to complete it gets spent on thinking, planning, and meetings.  And that brings us nicely to this week's question—a question about finding ways to reduce the thinking and planning time.  So, let me now hand you over to the Mystery Podcast voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Phil. Phil asks, “Hi Carl, how do you work on complex projects?” I find I spend a lot of time planning a project, end up with a long list of things to do, and when it comes to starting, I freeze. It's as if I don't know where to start. Do you have any tips on handling this type of problem? Hi Phil, thank you for your question.  “Project freeze” is a common problem for many people. I suspect this stems from the belief that every aspect of a project needs to be planned before starting. Yet, for many projects, this would be impossible.  Imagine you were part of NASA in May 1961, and you'd just heard President Kennedy's speech at the joint session of Congress about why the US should put a man on the moon and bring him back safely to earth before the end of the decade.  At that time, NASA was struggling to get even the smallest of rockets into space—the idea of sending astronauts to the moon and back was a pipe dream.  Yet a group of incredible people at NASA in 1961 took on the challenge. Instead of planning every single step they thought would be needed to complete the project, they looked at what they already knew, the obstacles they would need to overcome, and the first steps. That gave birth to the Mercury space mission. The Mercury programme was not to put a man on the moon; its objectives were to orbit a crewed spacecraft around Earth, study the human ability to function in space, and ensure the safe recovery of both the astronaut and the spacecraft. Before they could reach the moon, they needed to understand how humans cope in space. So the project's objective was to send a man into Earth's orbit.  The key was to get started, and they did this by listing out the obstacles they needed to overcome first. They then worked out how to remove those obstacles.  Now, I know our projects are unlikely to be as big as sending someone to the moon and back, but we can adopt the same approach that NASA used to work on our projects.  Even small projects can adopt this approach. Let's say you were asked to do a presentation on the likely effects of AI on your company's business over the next five years. Where would you start?  For something like this, there would be several phases.  The first would be to research and gather information. For this, the task would likely be to find out who to ask or what to read.  Okay, when will you do this?  Here's the key point. It's no good just deciding what needs to be done first. You need to make it intentional, and to do that, you will need to set aside time to do it.  Perhaps you decide to give yourself an afternoon to research this.  Research is a challenge in itself. We can go down rabbit holes that bring no meaningful insights into what we are trying to do. Yet, we can also underestimate how much time is required for research. So the first step is to do an initial session of research to help you develop some boundaries.  You might be lucky and find that the first research session gives you everything you need to start the presentation. However, if not, and you discover you need to do more research, then when will you do that?  One thing you can do with creating a presentation is to set up your PowerPoint or Keynote file. Create the document, do the first slide and perhaps set the theme colours.  Having a document started makes it much easier to get into creating the presentation.  The danger of listing out all the things you think you need to do to complete the project is that 80% of what you think needs to be done doesn't, and you will find that 80% of what ends up being done were things you never thought of in the first place.  All you really need is a starting point.  I recently did a video on how to write a book. The number one reason people who want to write but never do write a book is that they overthink and plan it.  Thinking and planning do not produce a book.  The best way to write a book is to get the first draft written as fast as you can. All that is required is a few ideas about what you want to write about. From there, you start writing the first draft.  The first draft will be the worst state your book will ever be in. It's meant to be messy, unstructured and occasionally unreadable.  But, once you have a first draft, you have around 80,000 words you can manipulate, craft and organise into a best seller. Without that first draft, you have nothing but a few ideas. How do you write a first draft? Set aside time each day to write. An hour or two every day for eight weeks will give you your first draft.  As you write, new ideas will form, and you can make a note of those along the way. That will make your editing easier.  The common denominator with any project is to get started. Everything has a starting point. Wherever that is, start there.  It's as you are working on the project that your next steps reveal themselves.  When I first began creating online courses, I had no idea what I was doing. But what I did have was fifteen years of teaching experience, and I knew how to create a lesson plan.  I also knew what I wanted to create an online course on. So I could create a lesson plan and a topic. That was where I started.  Once I had a lesson plan, I realised I needed a storyboard of sorts to help me break the course down into lessons. That evolved into the outline I have written for every course I have created since.  Now, after eight years of creating courses, I have a process I follow. All I need is a topic and time to plan, outline, record, edit and post. (Five steps)  On big projects, many tasks are completed before the project ends. Yet, if you were to try to predict what needs to be done at the start, you will find you are wasting a lot of time.  NASA had no idea whether a human being could survive in space. What they did know was that they needed to develop a reliable rocket to get them into space. So, they began with that. Without the rocket, it didn't matter whether a human could survive in space or not. There would have been no way of getting them there.  In 1962, NASA didn't know that they would need software to keep the spacecraft on the right trajectory. There was no way they could have planned for that at that point. It was only when they began working on the Gemini programme that they realised software would be needed.  Without paint and brushes, it wouldn't matter what colour you wanted to paint your bedroom.  In many ways, when you're working on a large, complex project, you're solving problems as you go along. Yet, there's always going to be a starting point.  Another thing about bigger projects is setting a deadline.  Because we are not sure how long a large project will take to complete, it can be tempting to set an unrealistic deadline. Three months to complete a project that realistically would take twelve. This is why setting up the project's stages will help you.  What's the first stage? Give yourself a realistic time frame to complete that first stage. The information you gather during that first stage will guide you with the deadlines for the next stage.  I would also take another leaf from NASA's book. President Kennedy said, “before the decade is out”. Given that he made this speech in 1961, NASA had around 9 years to complete the project. Yet it was not absolute.  Theoretically, the deadline was 31 December 1969, but the actual deadline was a grey area until NASA got closer to achieving the goal.  Deadlines are good as they bring energy to the project. Yet, unrealistic deadlines bring nothing but stress to a project.  I know an online course will take me about 6 weeks to complete. I know the process, and I've learned from experience that the whole process takes six weeks.  If I were to stop doing all my other work, close my calendar to appointments and work solidly for fourteen hours a day for two weeks, I might be able to complete the course in two weeks, but all I would have is a lot of stress. Not pleasant.  Six weeks gives me time to bring the course to life, check things, and make sure everything fits together.  And the final part of developing any project is to be clear about your outcomes.  I refer you back to the opening quotation from President Kennedy: "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." A perfect project outcome statement. It's clear about the objective, and there is a timeline. There was nothing else for NASA to know. President Kennedy didn't have the skills or knowledge to do this himself; that was for the scientists and engineers to work out.  Something they did with magnificent effort on the 20th July 1969.  Thank you, Phil, for your question and thank you to you, too, for listening. It just remains for me to wish you all a very, very productive week.   

2025 has been the Year of Superman, and Missing Frames has been celebrating James Gunn's new film by sitting down with some of the writers, artists, and actors who help make the Man of Steel so special. Past conversations have included comic legends Dan Jurgens, Mark Waid, Tom King, and Phillip Kennedy Johnson, reflections on Richard Donner's iconic film with Lauren Shuler Donner, and even a chat with Ma Kent herself, Neva Howell.Today's guest is another incredible talent: Jonah Lees, who appears in Superman as Dean Farr, one of Lex Luthor's LuthorCorp cronies, alongside his real-life twin brother, Christian. But Jonah's career extends far beyond Metropolis. A highlight of the conversation is his work with Richard Linklater and Ethan Hawke on Blue Moon, as well as his recent portrayal of John Lennon in the Brian Epstein biopic Midas Man. An actor, songwriter, musician, and director, Jonah is a multifaceted creative whose range is as impressive as it is exciting. What begins as a Superman celebration quickly becomes a love letter to many shared passions: Superman, Richard Linklater, and The Beatles.
