This summer I'm doing a dumb experiment over on @nevmed's copywriting course blog...launching a #podcast!

Mock me, hold me accountable, and follow along as I attempt to record 12 episodes and get to 1000 downloads by September 1st.

7/ Finally:

• My wife owns the board. So it's her responsibility to add things.
• It's mine to look at and to do.
• That removes the conflict of "I told you" or "I didn't think that was a big deal". If it's on the list it's a big deal. If not, it isn't. Period.

To-do lists are hard (for me anyway). I can't be trusted to keep up a good system on my own.

But freelancing + #dadlife = a bad upswing in missed honey-dos. 📈🤦‍♀️🤷‍♂️

I needed a secretary + public accountability.

6/ Here's what else I like:

• There is purposely not a lot of space so you can't add too many items at once.

• You manage what you measure. This is just like having "sales scorecard" or KPI board at the office. But for our house.

This is the story about the "aha" moment when we started to notice the frameworks behind #cooking as parents.

The kind of stuff that makes it easy—or at least easier —to cook good food, every day, thanks to our "friends" like @mollyyeh + @joannagaines

Put on your dad shorts! In episode 4 of the #podcast I'm sharing why you should take a few minutes to relax in your backyard.

"It's not magic. It's just a framework we didn't understand yet."

Listen to the story about the "aha" moment when we noticed the frameworks behind cooking that make it easier to cook every day as a parent.

What's measured in a good sales incentive goal? I think:

Decision-Makers = Objective results on an appropriate time scale (i.e. monthly, quarterly, yearly). Did your decisions produce the desired outcome?

Doers = Process adherence. Period. Did you do the work or not?

@Dadsaysjokes Today, my kid requested that Mom change his diaper.

When I let her know, she said to me, "Can it wait? I've got a lot of sh*t going on at the office right now."

I said, "Me too."

I think people lose perspective when doing stuff on the internet because the 'potential' numbers are so huge. 1 million views! A billion users! But on a human scale, sharing something you wrote or talked about with even 1 person is amazing.

So, do that.

My favorite part of making the Dad Always Told Me Podcast? Layering in the music. My goal is to have each episode always bring a little sweetness and light...and tracks from @sambarsh + @SoundstripeApp make it fun to close out an episode.

#parenting is one of the toughest jobs in the world because you have to be:

• The CEO (vision, think long term) +
• The Supervisor (day-to-day operations, make sure the work gets done, discipline)
• AT THE SAME TIME
