What is The Oren Cohen Podcast?

I'm just a dude who likes to talk about nerd stuff and entrepreneurship.

Hello everyone.

And welcome back to day seven
of the Oren Cohen podcast.

This is another episode where I
am doubling down about scheduling

and how important that is.

And I want to do this today
by telling you a little story.

And this story begins today right now at
this moment that I am in, but not you.

So for me, tomorrow is Friday
and as a Jew observing Shabbat.

Fridays are very, very stressful.

Ask any Jew, you know, Who.

Observes Shabbat.

Not all of them.

Do.

Um, and they will tell you.

That it is a very stressful day.

Uh, you need to prepare food beforehand.

You need to.

Uh, go out for doing anything
you need to do before Shabbat.

And then once Shabbat is in, you
are completely disconnected from.

Anything.

For 25 hours.

And I don't have my phone on, I don't have
my iPad on, I don't have my computer on.

I have.

Nothing on.

I only have my family.

And I have.

Books and I have the synagogue.

Doing a challenge like this, where I
need to produce an episode every day.

It's not something that I would
want to spend my time on, on such

a stressful day, like a Friday.

So I am here at this very moment in.

Thursday night.

It is currently 9:36 PM.

And I am recording an episode for you.

And while you are listening
or watching this episode on

a podcast app or on YouTube.

I am now probably waking up
and starting my stressful day

of doing chores for Shabbat.

The power of scheduling is amazing.

You can.

Do things.

In a large scale by scheduling.

I touched upon this a bit yesterday,
but I want to reinforce the idea.

Imagine doing a whole series.

That you already launched.

I said this in a previous
episode, I intended to.

Record.

Edit and schedule all of the
next season of geek peek.

And then once it is ready, we will
schedule it and it will start going out.

And what we will have to do is react
to the public's engagement with the

content that we already produced.

We won't need to chase our own tail.

Seeing what's to publish the next week.

We will have all of it ready
to go, which is the most.

Peaceful feeling in the world
when you already know that.

Automation takes over and you just needed
to sit back and see the episodes roll out.

And, um, Then you can start
focusing your energies elsewhere.

Maybe you want to create
another season of a podcast.

Maybe you create a YouTube videos.

So now you have the time.

Once you have those few weeks,
because you publish only one.

Episode a week.

You have that entire time now
to work on the next thing.

And you can do that.

With the peace of knowing that you
are consistent with your schedule.

Now you don't only have to use
this while doing big projects.

Scheduling can work.

On various levels.

Say for example, that you are
perfectly comfortable with

publishing a weekly video.

You work on it on a Sunday,
you edited on a Tuesday.

It goes out to the public on
Thursday, just for an example.

That's great.

That's amazing.

But what happens when you
want to take a week off?

Go on a vacation.

That's when scheduling helps you
the most, because instead of.

Going about your week, knowing
that you can never take an, a

break because you already did.

The thing.

Uh, you already committed to this.

Uh, weekly video and
you have your schedule.

You have your time set to
actually do it every week.

Instead, you can cram
a little bit of energy.

Doing.

Filming.

Two videos on.

Sunday editing both of them on Tuesday.

And scheduling.

The one that goes out.

The same day and the one
that goes out next week.

And then next week is ready to go.

You can go on vacation and trust that.

Uh, YouTube or whatever platform you use
for a podcast or whatever content that is

maybe a blog post it will still go out.

You don't need to worry about it.

You can go on vacation.

This is just an instance in
time that you can use this.

Every platform you can think of.

Has a scheduling feature.

And if it doesn't, it's time
to move on to a different one.

So.

That's all I want to give you today.

This is a shorter episode than
the 10 minutes that I'm used to.

In tomorrow's video, we'll start talking
about medium because that's the next step.

In my content creation journey, and
I want to take you through all of it.

We started as a story.

Tomorrow, I'll tell you
how I joined medium.

And, my first impressions
of the platform.

And we'll start talking about
that throughout the next week.

So again, thank you so much for watching
or listening and I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye for now.
