b'Save time and win the bet!
\\nTaking on a DIY project (eLearning narration or otherwise) is a bet.

\\nYou\'re saying you\'re confident that you will be able to do the work with significant cost savings, despite the time and equipment investment, and that the end result will be reasonably comparable to what you may have hired someone else to do.
\\n
\\nSo far, we\'ve talked quite a bit about performance in other episodes, but now it\'s time to talk about saving time.
\\n

\\nYour time is more valuable than that.
\\n
\\nThis is part one of a three-part series on saving time in your process. This first episode is all about writing and preparing your script with the intent of setting yourself up to save time in the recording\\xa0and editing process.
\\nIn this episode, I discuss:
\\n
\\n \\t* Things in scriptwriting phase that are time killers later down the line
\\n \\t* Beginning with the end in mind
\\n
\\nReferences and stuff:
