1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,449
Hello everyone.

2
00:00:00,479 --> 00:00:04,649
And welcome back to day seven
of the Oren Cohen podcast.

3
00:00:05,609 --> 00:00:11,009
This is another episode where I
am doubling down about scheduling

4
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:12,270
and how important that is.

5
00:00:12,689 --> 00:00:15,000
And I want to do this today
by telling you a little story.

6
00:00:15,509 --> 00:00:20,159
And this story begins today right now at
this moment that I am in, but not you.

7
00:00:20,839 --> 00:00:26,929
So for me, tomorrow is Friday
and as a Jew observing Shabbat.

8
00:00:27,170 --> 00:00:29,929
Fridays are very, very stressful.

9
00:00:30,860 --> 00:00:33,319
Ask any Jew, you know, Who.

10
00:00:33,890 --> 00:00:35,000
Observes Shabbat.

11
00:00:35,599 --> 00:00:36,259
Not all of them.

12
00:00:36,259 --> 00:00:36,530
Do.

13
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:39,470
Um, and they will tell you.

14
00:00:39,949 --> 00:00:43,369
That it is a very stressful day.

15
00:00:43,789 --> 00:00:46,399
Uh, you need to prepare food beforehand.

16
00:00:46,729 --> 00:00:47,599
You need to.

17
00:00:48,319 --> 00:00:52,489
Uh, go out for doing anything
you need to do before Shabbat.

18
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,890
And then once Shabbat is in, you
are completely disconnected from.

19
00:00:58,580 --> 00:00:59,269
Anything.

20
00:00:59,810 --> 00:01:01,429
For 25 hours.

21
00:01:02,060 --> 00:01:07,250
And I don't have my phone on, I don't have
my iPad on, I don't have my computer on.

22
00:01:07,250 --> 00:01:07,729
I have.

23
00:01:08,119 --> 00:01:08,990
Nothing on.

24
00:01:08,990 --> 00:01:10,699
I only have my family.

25
00:01:11,119 --> 00:01:12,199
And I have.

26
00:01:12,890 --> 00:01:15,199
Books and I have the synagogue.

27
00:01:15,789 --> 00:01:21,699
Doing a challenge like this, where I
need to produce an episode every day.

28
00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:27,579
It's not something that I would
want to spend my time on, on such

29
00:01:27,579 --> 00:01:29,739
a stressful day, like a Friday.

30
00:01:30,220 --> 00:01:33,759
So I am here at this very moment in.

31
00:01:34,539 --> 00:01:35,679
Thursday night.

32
00:01:35,739 --> 00:01:38,199
It is currently 9:36 PM.

33
00:01:38,590 --> 00:01:40,449
And I am recording an episode for you.

34
00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:45,729
And while you are listening
or watching this episode on

35
00:01:45,729 --> 00:01:47,649
a podcast app or on YouTube.

36
00:01:48,190 --> 00:01:52,119
I am now probably waking up
and starting my stressful day

37
00:01:52,119 --> 00:01:54,070
of doing chores for Shabbat.

38
00:01:54,070 --> 00:01:57,370
The power of scheduling is amazing.

39
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,060
You can.

40
00:01:58,780 --> 00:01:59,959
Do things.

41
00:02:00,970 --> 00:02:03,009
In a large scale by scheduling.

42
00:02:03,460 --> 00:02:09,340
I touched upon this a bit yesterday,
but I want to reinforce the idea.

43
00:02:09,729 --> 00:02:12,850
Imagine doing a whole series.

44
00:02:13,420 --> 00:02:14,799
That you already launched.

45
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,150
I said this in a previous
episode, I intended to.

46
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,190
Record.

47
00:02:21,700 --> 00:02:25,660
Edit and schedule all of the
next season of geek peek.

48
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:31,090
And then once it is ready, we will
schedule it and it will start going out.

49
00:02:31,660 --> 00:02:38,200
And what we will have to do is react
to the public's engagement with the

50
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,700
content that we already produced.

51
00:02:39,730 --> 00:02:43,180
We won't need to chase our own tail.

52
00:02:43,780 --> 00:02:46,239
Seeing what's to publish the next week.

53
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,300
We will have all of it ready
to go, which is the most.

54
00:02:51,380 --> 00:02:55,850
Peaceful feeling in the world
when you already know that.

55
00:02:57,170 --> 00:03:05,720
Automation takes over and you just needed
to sit back and see the episodes roll out.

56
00:03:05,989 --> 00:03:09,770
And, um, Then you can start
focusing your energies elsewhere.

57
00:03:09,799 --> 00:03:12,710
Maybe you want to create
another season of a podcast.

58
00:03:13,130 --> 00:03:15,260
Maybe you create a YouTube videos.

59
00:03:15,260 --> 00:03:17,600
So now you have the time.

60
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,590
Once you have those few weeks,
because you publish only one.

61
00:03:22,460 --> 00:03:23,570
Episode a week.

62
00:03:24,380 --> 00:03:28,040
You have that entire time now
to work on the next thing.

63
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,650
And you can do that.

64
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,119
With the peace of knowing that you
are consistent with your schedule.

65
00:03:35,649 --> 00:03:40,539
Now you don't only have to use
this while doing big projects.

66
00:03:40,570 --> 00:03:41,589
Scheduling can work.

67
00:03:42,190 --> 00:03:43,539
On various levels.

68
00:03:43,930 --> 00:03:47,979
Say for example, that you are
perfectly comfortable with

69
00:03:48,399 --> 00:03:50,289
publishing a weekly video.

70
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:55,539
You work on it on a Sunday,
you edited on a Tuesday.

71
00:03:55,539 --> 00:03:59,560
It goes out to the public on
Thursday, just for an example.

72
00:04:00,519 --> 00:04:01,570
That's great.

73
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:02,589
That's amazing.

74
00:04:02,829 --> 00:04:05,589
But what happens when you
want to take a week off?

75
00:04:06,169 --> 00:04:07,309
Go on a vacation.

76
00:04:08,279 --> 00:04:11,939
That's when scheduling helps you
the most, because instead of.

77
00:04:12,460 --> 00:04:16,899
Going about your week, knowing
that you can never take an, a

78
00:04:16,899 --> 00:04:19,720
break because you already did.

79
00:04:20,380 --> 00:04:21,220
The thing.

80
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,039
Uh, you already committed to this.

81
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,490
Uh, weekly video and
you have your schedule.

82
00:04:27,939 --> 00:04:32,319
You have your time set to
actually do it every week.

83
00:04:33,340 --> 00:04:37,659
Instead, you can cram
a little bit of energy.

84
00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:38,919
Doing.

85
00:04:40,090 --> 00:04:40,840
Filming.

86
00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:42,789
Two videos on.

87
00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:46,799
Sunday editing both of them on  Tuesday.

88
00:04:47,340 --> 00:04:48,570
And scheduling.

89
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,520
The one that goes out.

90
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,650
The same day and the one
that goes out next week.

91
00:04:53,650 --> 00:04:56,350
And then next week is ready to go.

92
00:04:56,410 --> 00:05:00,100
You can go on vacation and trust that.

93
00:05:00,130 --> 00:05:06,220
Uh, YouTube or whatever platform you use
for a podcast or whatever content that is

94
00:05:06,220 --> 00:05:08,940
maybe a blog post  it will still go out.

95
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,530
You don't need to worry about it.

96
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,120
You can go on vacation.

97
00:05:12,490 --> 00:05:16,390
This is just an instance in
time that you can use this.

98
00:05:17,290 --> 00:05:20,110
Every platform you can think of.

99
00:05:20,110 --> 00:05:21,610
Has a scheduling feature.

100
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,710
And if it doesn't, it's time
to move on to a different one.

101
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:28,300
So.

102
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,150
That's all I want to give you today.

103
00:05:31,180 --> 00:05:34,450
This is a shorter episode than
the 10 minutes that I'm used to.

104
00:05:34,910 --> 00:05:39,140
In tomorrow's video, we'll start talking
about medium because that's the next step.

105
00:05:39,590 --> 00:05:42,680
In my content creation journey, and
I want to take you through all of it.

106
00:05:42,979 --> 00:05:44,330
We started as a story.

107
00:05:44,780 --> 00:05:47,060
Tomorrow, I'll tell you
how I joined medium.

108
00:05:47,510 --> 00:05:50,279
And,  my first impressions
of the platform.

109
00:05:50,849 --> 00:05:53,639
And we'll start talking about
that throughout the next week.

110
00:05:53,819 --> 00:05:58,049
So again, thank you so much for watching
or listening and I'll see you tomorrow.

111
00:05:58,589 --> 00:05:59,009
Bye for now.
