Intro
Randy discusses how things can be so much easier when down-sizing.
Announcements
Moved everything back over to one desk. This is mostly the setup from Season 1, and worked the best for the show. Switching to mounted arms for the monitors. Desk is big enough to now hold the mixer, which is great for having guests and quick control over audio levels.
Different computer - purchased a Xeon workstation - Lenovo P500.
Throw away, sell, or donate what is not needed
Owning a lot of tech was a good way for me to realize what I didn’t need.
If you’re having trouble getting rid of things, think about what things that you currently own that are future proof and what will lose value in the near future. Those are things that are worth your time and energy to sell.
Fine-tune what you have!
Now that you likely have more room to work (and probably breathe), you can potentially feel less anxious about having all of those “things” staring you in the face. You can focus. Maybe you don’t have trouble focusing if there is a lot of junk around you, but I do and I’ve really learned that it helps to feel focused. Sure, there are “time-out” apps that allow you to freeze you browser, background active tabs, have a message that tells you to stand up. That stuff doesn’t work for me. Physically moving things around and making space available does.
I hope this episode helped to inspire you in any minuscule way - or ,even better, in a big way. I like to share anything I that helps someone else do something easier or more-efficiently; This is why I mainly started this show. I love hearing from some that said they tried something and it really helped them do something to increase their productivity.
