b'Flow. Rhythm. Consistency. \\n\\n\\n\\nThese are all words we want to associate with how we do our work, but so rarely can we actually describe a week or even a day as flowing, rhythmic, or even possessing some level of consistency.\\n\\n\\n\\nVariable, external circumstances certainly contribute to our state of relentless syncopation. But the way we think about our work\\u2013how we organize it, visualize it, plan it\\u2013doesn\\u2019t help either.\\n\\n\\n\\nNow, this episode of What Works is a bonus. In fact, up until yesterday, I had no idea we were going to be publishing this. But when Sean and I got off our latest round table discussion in the Standout Podcast Club, we knew it was the perfect addition to this month\\u2019s What Works series on working the plan. \\n\\n\\n\\nIf you haven\\u2019t heard, Standout Podcast Club is the brand-new training, coaching, and networking hub for podcasters that we launched through YellowHouse.Media. Every month, we host a round table discussion where we dig deeper into an aspect of podcast production.\\n\\n\\n\\nThis month\\u2019s topic was finding your podcasting rhythm so that you can stay on track with the workload and avoid feeling like you\\u2019re always behind, which is a huge problem for podcasters. Essentially, the topic is working your podcast plan. \\n\\n\\n\\nNow, even if you\\u2019re not a podcaster, this is a valuable conversation.\\n\\n\\n\\nIf you\\u2019re regularly producing any kind of content or you want to be\\u2013content like articles, a newsletter, or even social media posts, this conversation applies directly to you. If you\\u2019re not regularly producing content and you don\\u2019t want to be, there\\u2019s likely some other process in your business that often feels disjointed or for which you often feel behind. You\\u2019re going to find something valuable in here, too.\\n\\n\\n\\nSean and I talked through the common pitfalls of managing a podcast workflow, as well as how to mentally organize the flow differently, how to plan ahead, what to consider when it comes to the technology you use to manage the process, and how to find a consistent pace so you\\u2019re not feeling like you\\u2019re always rushing toward the finish line.\\n\\n\\n\\nYou\\u2019ll also hear us work through a sort of hot seat example of what we\\u2019re talking about with Jacquette Timmons host of the More Than Money podcast.\\n\\n\\n\\nFinally, we mention some graphics and screen sharing, and I\\u2019ve included each of those below!\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nHow podcasters typically think of their process\\u2013episode by episode\\n\\n\\n\\nHow we think of the podcasting process\\u2013incrementally over time\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nEpisode by episode project management\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nTimeline view project management\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nSean\\u2019s spur-of-the-moment mindmap'
