Today, I’m learning how to do a podcast. For how much I’ve been thinking about this whenever possible, I should have come to a decision about whether to do one or not. But I’m going to at least learn how to start one.
I’m so overwhelmed with my house and all the clutter and all these end-of-the-school year activities coming up. We still don’t know where my son is going to college… waiting for Fafsa stuff to flush out. I’m really all over the place.
I cleaned up some piles yesterday to create some space where there is nothing. That makes me feel so much better. Our house is small; there’s only so many spots to put things. It doesn’t help that everyone leaves their shoes in the living room or that my husband leaves all his stuff all over one of our two tables despite being the only one who uses our office space. Yes, his stuff is strewn about there too.
Me, Today
It’s hard to know where to focus on my websites. I hate that I’ve spent so much time on these for all of these years and I feel like I have nothing to show for it.
Even worse, is I feel very incompetent.
If I worked in a career for all these years, I’d have a resume to show for my time. Instead, I have failed websites… nothing to show for it career-wise or in my bank account (which is dwindling fast; I need my husband to get a job).
Right now, I NEED TO TAKE ACTION.
Learning How to Do a Podcast
Okay, today’s the day! I am going to start learning podcasting to see if it’s something I can do. I learned about it last fall before my website tanked. Now, I am ready to learn the equipment and get back into it.
Time Is Money
Also, I have a Poshmark account from a few years ago. I had sold a few things on it. I’m going to see what I can list and hopefully sell from what I own already.
However, I can already foresee myself as I’m posting… It will gnaw at me: “I should be using this time to work on my websites or learning about podcasting”. But I have to start creating opportunities.
Still, I don’t know what steps to take to get the best bang for my buck. This is what is swirling in my brain. Should I:
- Remove health claims and create new content on the smaller Website One?
- Work on improving content on Website Two? Should I be hiring to figure out the tech issues first?
- Use my time to start a brand new podcast even though I don’t know what I’m doing?
- Use free time to start selling on Poshmark and ebay?
What Will I Regret Not Doing?
In six months will I be mad I didn’t follow through and start a podcast? Should I learn how to do it, and make myself produce 50 episodes to see if I get any traction? At the end of this year, will I look back on the year and be proud of how I spent my time
