Since this is the 52nd episode of the podcast, Janine and Shannon are celebrating a year of podcasting and discussing what it’s been like living with a “good enough” mentality for a year. (Spoiler alert: It’s been great!)
Discussion topics include:
- Some things we’ve learned from a year of living the “good enough” mentality
- How Shannon is more okay with good enough now than she was a year ago
- The difference it’s made to allow good enough to be good enough
- How Janine feels better about her pre-existing good-enough mentality than she did before the podcast
- The benefits of experimenting with good enough
- Shannon’s good-enough Reading Trello board
- Janine’s good-enough experience buying a new monitor
- The freedom of embracing good enough when entertaining
- How her good-enough mentality helped Shannon figure out how to adapt to her limited exercise ability
- Electric-bike-buying made easy with good enough
- Embracing good enough in podcasting (no editing, no rehearsing)
- Our excellent division of labor in podcast post-production
- How we never could have imagined a year ago the podcast’s successes
- How grateful we are to our listeners
Here’s a photo of Shannon’s Reading Trello board:
Congratulations on a year’s worth of podcasts! What an accomplishment! I really enjoy listening to you.
I keep my reading log in Evernote. I have a notebook named “Reading” and have many notes for different authors, all sorted by last name. On each author’s page, I have a link to their Web site and Wikipedia pages. Below that, I keep a bulleted list on each author’s page of the date of publication, the title, and in boldface–whether or not I have read it. No more going back and reading the same books over and over again…except for Mary Higgins Clark! I also have notes in that notebook for “Book Suggestions from Other People” and “Book Suggestions from Magazine Round-Ups.”
