Catching Lightning

I've got a call I recorded about a week ago.

I've been crafting some worksheets, lessons, etc. for my new programs. The part I'm struggling with most is the lessons.

It's incredibly easy for me to copy a tracker or document I've previously created for myself and explain how to use it. But distilling a lesson into a simple presentation is eluding me. That's probably where my perfectionism gets the best of me.

I find myself just vomiting ideas

My mind moves faster than I can type. And if I'm designing something, forget about it!

But when I'm coaching? It's a lot easier for me to articulate my thoughts directly.

I was on a call the other day. Towards that end of that call, I remember saying, "I've got to write this shit down" lol

It was a good call, I learned a lot and think they did too : ) And from those learnings, I'm trying something new on the next session.

But I'm seeing this more and more.

I've noticed that I am at my best when I do it live.

Now, I just need a way to document those ideas to be properly organized at a later time.

I've noticed it twice in 28 hours:

1. I am about to watch the recording of my recent coaching session to take notes and turn it into a presentation
2. On the way home from my parents I had 3 and a half hours to come up with ideas for my new DnD campaign. I captured voice notes and updated the rules last night : )

Inspiration strikes like lightning, I need to improve my ability to catch that lightning when it strikes and save it for later.

What's more, I know when I'm likely to have my best ideas. I spend a lot of time in alpha throughout my morning routine full of journaling, meditating and exercising. Theta is also great when doing the mundane - shower, laundry, dishes, or a long drive home.

I do take a lot of notes in my second brain in the mornings now that I think about it. Maybe I just preferred voice notes as a way to express my thoughts? I could even message them to my VA and have him organize them.

I'll add this to my new habit tracker right now : )

But in the meantime, I'm off to watch this recording and make some more cool content...
