That is the title, because that is the purpose.  To write for 20 minutes.  I know it will be crap, but my fingers will get some exercise and my brain might, too.

There are so many things I have wanted to write about, but I have not had the get-up-and-go for a very long time.  Too long; forever maybe.  In any case, I don’t want it to be forever.  I have always wanted to write, even though it seems a somewhat dying form of communication, with so many preferring to watch and listen, turning information in to entertainment most of the time.

And when well produced, that is not a problem.  Some of the stuff on YouTube is amazing in the production value applied to someone trying to explain something.  It goes to show that if you can capture an audience  you might be able to make a living from it.  There are plenty of examples of that these days, but most of the wild success making headlines is porn.  But, these amazing videos that I learn something from make me wonder mostly who is producing them, for how much, etc.  I always think I could just jump in…

And then I think about actually doing something.  I like the idea of podcasts, but they all have this long-format length that far exceeds my attention span and free-time.  I haven’t found many to listen to, but I had ideas for my own in the form of a daily message or affirmation.  Mostly to save myself, but based on another theme that I have bee tinkering with in my mind, which is the Good Deed Done.  That could build an audience; a daily 10-15 minute feel-good, get-better podcase with a pay-if-forward stories from my life.

I have at least 3 stories to tell, but besides a good hook what I hear is needed is consistency and velocity.

The velocity should probably be daily.  I could do this with the goal of giving people hope at the start of their day, assuming a US audience.  But, then I think about doing this.  I cannot stand the idea of other people hearing me when I am doing this.  I will need some kind of studio.  Initially I pictured myself riffing in the morning before running out the door, but that is not how this would work.  This would be my afternoon job, producing it so that it could be ready by the next  morning.

Seven more minutes.

This could be really helpful.  Right now all I do is go home and

So, the idea that this could fit in to some kind of lifestyle is encouraging.  Ideally what I think I would like is to get up and exercise early in the morning and then go to work.  When I am done in the afternoon take a walk, or one day more, and then cook dinner.  After that I should be working on some kind of a project or going out to some kind of event.

Ok, I kind of got lost there for a minute.  My inner-monologue ran off after a squirrel or something.  And now I only have two minutes left to reach my goal of 20 minutes of writing without interruption.  And, I was mostly able to accomplish that, which is good, because I feel my attention span has taken a beating from short-form entertainment and endlessly searching for content because none of it satisfies.  I could do with out that.  A good thing to dump from my life.  Isn’t that one of the things I might work on?  make lists of everything.  every day a list.  Actually, something I really need to do is to come up with some kind of daily journal.  I struggle most with access and consistency, since I already have million platforms.
