Podcasts about simple you

No Flat WritingA lot of writers will worry that their stories seem flat. There's a reason that they are worrying about that and it's one of the core elements of good writing.Ready?A lot of the times your story seems flat because all your sentences are the same layout.You want to vary your sentence structure.Take a bit of writing that you've done that feels flat—or maybe even one that doesn't. Count the words in your sentences for two or three paragraphs.Are they all five word sentences? Twelve? Twenty-seven?That robotic sameness in sentence length is one of the main reasons that writing can feel flat.It's like those ancient Dick and Jane books.See Dick run. See Jane skip. See Dick wave.The other big bugger is when all of your sentences are simple and declarative.I walk to the forest. The trees are gracious, tall. I inhale the pine scent.There is actually a whole, entire world of different sentence styles that writers can use and when you use them? That's when you make your writing shiny and sexy and all the good things.The names for these structures are pretty boring, honestly, but we'll try to look beyond that, right?Simple – You have one main clause.Carrie is the best wife.Compound – You have more than one independent clause. You probably use a conjunction.Carrie wants to get another dog, but Shaun keeps saying no.Complex – Oh, the sentence that probably has to pay for a therapist or is reading Foucault obviously in the park. This sentence has an independent clause and a subordinate clause.When hell freezes over, we will allegedly get another dog.Compound-Complex – It sounds like a place with a cult, right? But it's just a sentence with at least two independent clauses and one subordinate clause.Carrie really needs a new dog to love, so Shaun said that they would get one when hell freezes over, so Carrie immediately purchased some dry ice at WalMart and sent some down to Lucifer.So, to keep your writing from feeling flat, you want to vary those sentences. Why?It keeps the reader engaged. It helps highlight important details. It helps vary tone. It puts emphasis on things (especially when you use a short sentence for that). It sounds more real. People don't speak in identical sentence patterns. When they do, just like in your writing, it feels unnatural and stilted. It can be easier to follow when you change your sentence structure up.How do you vary the structure?Use different lengths, like we mentioned above Use different types of sentences like we also mentioned above. Throw in that complex sentence in the middle of all your simple sentences. Don't start all your sentences the same (the way I did up there).Refresher moments:What's a clause? A bunch of words chilling out together and one of those words in the group is a verb and another is a noun. Fancy people call the verb, the predicate, but we aren't fancy here.What's an independent clause? It is a bunch of words that has a subject and a predicate. Got fancy! It is grammatically complete all by itself and doesn't need anyone. Not any other words to stand alone! Darn it.What's a subordinate or dependent clause? A bunch of words that needs other words to be a sentence. This poor beautiful baby cannot stand alone and be complete, kind of like a protagonist in a Hallmark romance.DOG TIP FOR LIFE!Vary how you bark to your humans. Sometimes go ‘bark bark.' Sometimes go ‘barkwoofbarhbark.' Keep them on their toes.RANDOM THOUGHTOur random thought came from here.SHOUT OUT!The music we've clipped and shortened in this podcast is awesome and is made available through the Creative Commons License. Here's a link to that and the artist's website. Who is this artist and what is this song? It's “Summer Spliff” by Broke For Free.WE HAVE EXTRA CONTENT ALL ABOUT LIVING HAPPY OVER HERE! It's pretty awesome. We have a podcast, LOVING THE STRANGE, which we stream biweekly live on Carrie's Facebook and Twitter and YouTube on Fridays.

Grandpa Bill's Grunts & Groans Grandpa Bill brings memory palaces and mnemonics to life on his YouTube channel! Visual learners, rejoice! We use diagrams, animations, and real-world examples to demonstrate how these powerful techniques work. Learn how to create your own memory palaces, memorize anything with ease, and boost your cognitive abilities. Grandpa Bill Asks: 1: What's your preferred way to learn – visual, auditory, or kinesthetic? 2: What's the one subject or skill you'd love to master with a supercharged memory? Let's break down how to create and record the "J" memory palace for Janissary, focusing on the practical aspects of drawing it out. The "J" Memory Palace: Javelin & Hagia Sophia The Location: Hagia Sophia, Istanbul. This is your mental "room" or location within your larger "Janissary" palace. The Object: A giant, gleaming javelin. It's not just any javelin; it's oversized, perhaps made of gold, and emits a shimmering light. The Action: The javelin is piercing the Hagia Sophia's dome. This is the dynamic element that makes the image memorable. The dome is cracking, perhaps bits of tile are falling. Drawing it Out (Memory Journal/Index Card):GB explains within this video 1: Detailed Sketch (Memory Journal):GB explains in the video On a page in your/my journal, lightly sketch the Hagia Sophia's exterior, focusing on the dome. Draw the giant javelin piercing the dome. Exaggerate the size and make it shine (use colored pencils if you like). Add details: Cracks in the dome, falling debris. Label: "J - Javelin & Hagia Sophia" 2: Simplified Sketch (Index Card):GB explains On you/my index card, draw a simplified version of the Hagia Sophia dome. Draw a large, stylized "J" that transforms into the javelin. The point of the "J" could be piercing the dome. Add a few quick lines to indicate the cracks. Label: "J - Javelin (Hagia Sophia)" 3: Symbolic Drawing (Index Card): Draw a large "J." Inside the curve of the "J," draw a small, symbolic representation of the Hagia Sophia (maybe just a dome shape). Draw a line extending from the "J" as the javelin piercing the dome. Label: "J - Javelin" Key Highlights of Drawing: Keep it Simple: You don't need to be an artist. Stick figures and basic shapes are fine. The goal is to create a visual trigger for your memory, not a masterpiece. Exaggerate: Make the key elements (the javelin) larger than life. This makes them more memorable. Add Color: Color helps make the image more vivid. Personal Touches: If you have a personal connection to javelins or the Hagia Sophia, incorporate that into your drawing. Consistency: Use the same style of drawing for all your memory palaces. This will help you quickly access them later. Review: After drawing, review the image a few times to solidify it in your memory. Try to recall the image without looking at your drawing.

The names for these structures are pretty boring, honestly, but we'll try to look beyond that, right? Simple – You have one main clause. Carrie is the best wife. Compound – You have more than one independent clause. You probably use a conjunction. Carrie wants to get another dog, but Shaun keeps saying no. Complex – Oh, the sentence that probably has to pay for a therapist or is reading Foucault obviously in the park. This sentence has an independent clause and a subordinate clause. It'st the BDSM of sentences. When hell freezes over, we will allegedly get another dog. Compound-Complex – It sounds like a place with a cult, right? But it's just a sentence with at least two independent clauses and one subordinate clause. Carrie really needs a new dog to love, so Shaun said that they would get one when hell freezes over, so Carrie immediately got some dry ice and sent some down to Lucifer.

Do this 1 simple tactic to allow yourself to be able to enjoy your body and become a bit more comfortable. Simple? You bet. Easy? Well.....see for yourself. With proven results we have utilized this technique and have seen amazing outcomes!

When I started Feisworld Podcast in 2014, I knew very little about audio production, but I did know a thing or two about growing an audience (thanks to 12 years of working as a digital producer).  In recent conversations with other podcasters, I casually unveiled a tactic I’ve been using since the inception of Feisworld to increase my podcast awareness and engagement.  Most people have not heard of me, and I love interviewing unsung heroes, "getting the word out" isn't trivial.  I hate gimmicks, and growing downloads alone didn't appeal to me. This approach below is for those who of you who want to grow your podcast in the long run. There's no quick fix.  The one pre-requisite is that you need to have guests on the show to maximize impacts.  Alternatively, if you are a one-man show but you discuss other people and topics, I can see some methods work in the same manner. Give them a shot and please let me know your feedback below in the comments area.  What’s the one hidden gem? Simple: You need to proactively reach out to organizations, schools, groups, people and TELL them about the episode when it comes out.  Listen and read the blog: https://www.feisworld.com/blog/one-hidden-gem-to-increase-podcast-engagement-with-zero-budget --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/support

Welcome to Episode 15 of the Podcast. In this Episode I share with you insights from my recent 3-Day Annual Planning Event. It's January, and I'm fresh from spending 3 entire days with my Team - Planning our success in 2017. I'm a big believer that if you want to be successful, you've got to PLAN for it. Too many people are hoping and wishing - some even praying - but there's not much strategic planning going on and no clear path to the goals. Of course, you need to EXECUTE on what you create during your Planning Meeting, but if you don't have the PLAN in the first place, then you run the risk of starting out 2017 “OPTIMISTIC”, then wondering why by the end of the year you are once again, “PESSIMISTIC”. I devoted 3 full days to this Meeting. Me and my team worked Saturday, Sunday - and all day Monday to make this happen. Add in the fact that I allocate 10% of every working week to staff training and workshop style meetings - you can start to get a feel for how much I believe in this type of stuff… The reason I do? Simple: “You can only leverage two things in business”. One is People - and the other is Systems. And during this Annual Planning Meeting I am able to learn more about both - and how to leverage each one better to help me achieve my business goals. In this Episode I walk you through the 3 days I spent with my team, share with you some of the questions I asked my team, and many of the answers that we collected… The outcome of the planning event? I'll tell you this time next year when I check the numbers! But I know that whatever happens in 2017, if I didn't do this planning, the odds of me being as successful as I want to be are massively STACKED AGAINST ME. On the flip side, sacrificing a weekend to do this gives me the best possible shot of becoming more successful. I start the podcast with a re-cap of my last few weeks here in the clinic - and talk to you about how I was able to maintain business success DESPITE the fact that “4” of my key members of admin staff announced that they were pregnant - and all 4 within the space of 6 months!… When you lose nearly a third of your key members of staff - all at the same time, you really do find out how solid your business is - and if indeed, you actually have a business or a highly stressful job! Here's some of what you'll learn on the Podcast: * How I get so much more done in one single day - than most people do in a month… * How I dealt with losing 4 key members of staff - in the space of 6 months * What goes into an Annual Planning Meeting - and the goal of each day… * How to find out what your staff actually know about your business (and the people they serve on your behalf!) * Does the Plan support the numbers? And, do the numbers support the 12 month plan? - here's how you find out… * What I believe makes the “Paul Gough Physio Rooms” so special - and how we recognised that to do more of it… * The most important (…maybe even critical) aspect of planning for success in the 12 months ahead… * And so much more on this Episode… Listen in, leave other PTs a review so they know what they are listening to - and then subscribe on iTunes. Paul Gough. P.S Here's the link to the 3-Day Event that I spoke about at the end of the show - I'm hosting the “More Patients, More Profits” 3-Day Event at various locations around the world this year, Maximum 10 people per event.
