Consistent Time & Place

"I wish I could record videos with my laptop, but often when I'm inspired, I'm not near my laptop..." Inspiration is good, but consistency is required for the practice of authentic speaking. For most of us, inspiration is not sustainable for practice. In part because you'll often get discouraged if your inspiration isn't reciprocated by your audience's engagement. For sustained practice, see it as a sustained practice! How then to relate to inspiration? I would recommend habituating the writing down of ideas whenever inspiration comes... but then dedicate yourself to a consistent time/place when you record videos. During your planned time/place for making videos, take out those ideas you wrote down, and pick one that inspires you in that moment :)

I am planning to batch prep some videos on Sunday afternoon this week, but otherwise Saturday afternoon.  I have been doing it in the evenings.  I will edit 2-3 of them on Monday and Wednesday.

I thin, I'm quite weird on video (being my authentic self): My voice when I get into 'teaching mode', my movements when I move my head weirdly or think and look up too often, my speed when I'm slow talking (my German still isn't as my Dutch, even though Germans don't notice that I'm not German which is cool. But I definitely think my video would be better if one would listen to me on 1,25 speed!), and probably many other reasons.

@Yvette Berg - van Groeningen I was just wondering the same thing about the 1.25 speed - because in authentically speaking - it takes time to frame the thoughts, and it feels slow. But, perhaps to the listener, it feels like they are drawing from a deep well.

This was such a great call!  So worth the time to get on these in person every once in a while.  I left the meeting inspired with lots of ideas about next steps.  Thanks, George
