Daily(ish)

I’ve already recorded two upcoming Saturdays, but I struggle not to edit and publish immediately once something is recorded. Having finished work sitting scheduled feels weird, and it’s given me more appreciation for clients who record weeks or months early and then wait.

What is Daily(ish)?

Challenging myself to record a podcast episode a day for my 50th year on this planet.

Hello and welcome to Dailyish
for Tuesday, October 20th, 2026.

I am recording an episode every day
for this, my 50th year on the planet.

I'm holding the camera right
now, but I'm not gonna do that

for the rest of the episode

YouTube viewers will maybe get a little
extra edit of this one just because of

the, uh, attempt to hold the camera.

I, I use my iPhone camera with a
software package called Camo to use

iPhone as a camera, and works great.

I like it.

I just don't have a good stand for
the phone, And I don't wanna mount

it on my monitor 'cause the monitor
shakes when the desk shakes, so I have,

like, a wall mount thing so the camera
doesn't move when I'm typing and stuff.

But it's off center, and so off
to my left, and it gives a nice

little view of the office, but
it's definitely a side profile.

It's a little less engaging and
doesn't look like I'm talking to

the people who might be watching.

Not a big deal.

There isn't a ton of people, but I
feel like the straight ahead view is

ultimately the best, but, uh, the only
webcam I have is a pretty cheap old one,

and I really would like to get a new
one, and so But I-I'm torn 'cause then

I think, "Well, why would I get a new
one when I've got iPhone 13 Pro camera.

That works great.

Looks good.

The real point of this episode is I
wanted to just talk a little bit or brain

fart it out into the world, the idea
that because I've started doing these

Saturday conversations for the Daily-ish,
I have now two episodes, one this

Saturday, uh, and one for the following
Saturday, October 31st, already recorded.

I have to edit them, but I don't
know how people do it because I

really struggle with both the idea of
planning ahead and recording ahead.

But now that I've done it, once I've
recorded the thing, I really wanna

just put it out into the world.

It's really hard not to, like, edit
and publish it right away and hang on

to stuff that I've edited or recorded.

And whether it's a screencast video
for my YouTube channel, whether it's

a podcast episode for this show, let's
say, a blog post, anything like that,

I really struggle with not, like,
just working it all the way through,

polishing it, editing it to as much as
I can in that particular creative burst

of energy and time, whether it's an
hour for a blog post or two hours for

a longer video or whatever it might be.

But to have something sitting scheduled,
waiting to go out even, even if it's all

the way done, still feels, like, weird.

So it's given me a bit of appreciation
for some of my clients who record

podcast episodes days, weeks, sometimes
even months in advance, and then

hand it over to me and just kind
of sit and wait for it to be done.

I'll edit it, and we'll Go back
and forth and get it ready to go.

Um, but just being able to record
something, walk away and not think about

that thing that you just recorded that's
eventually gonna be out in the world,

being out in the world someday later.

'Cause right now I'm recording
this at my time, 3:30 PM.

It'll get published before 4:00 PM,
how do you process those kinds of

things when you have a creative thing
that you have been working on, whether

it's for an hour, days, weeks, months?

Are you able to, like, wait until it's
ready, until it's supposed to go out?

Or do you need to hit publish as soon
as you're kind of like mostly done?

All right, just a quicker one again today
because my brain is all talked out from

the great conversation I had with, uh,
Dan Rine, which you'll hear in a week and

a half, if I can hold onto it that long.
