…welcome to the overwhelm.

The process of creating a Life Story project

What to do and not to do to keep you on track:

* Don’t learn everything there is to learn – Skim over the content and only dig into what you need to know now for the next task.

* Look to learn what is needed for you to achieve only the next task.

* All the information is here at Create Your Life Story for you to come back to and reference so you don’t need to learn it.

* Listen to other great audio Life Story biographies and storytelling to stay inspired

* If you’re frustrated walk away and return later – Consolidate your learning and memories while resting

* Know that it takes time but persevere

Helping you feel the accomplishment so you’re inspired to continue:

* You’re learning – don’t expect perfection

* Any content is better than no content at all

* Family in particular will love anything that is produced

* If it breaks put it down and return later – It’ll always turn out better later

* Listen back some time later to what you produce and hear it with fresh ear...
