1/Just over a month ago I had no website and had published no articles or videos.
Now I have a website, have published articles, videos, and weird summary docs - all while working as an NQ commercial lawyer.
A thread on what I've learned:

2/Planning and design
You have to sketch out your plans somewhere.
@NotionHQ has been great for me to plonk all my ideas, draft my articles, monitor progress, and schedule.
I also do quite wild brainstorms in @GoodNotesApp on my iPad when I need to "feel" the notes

3/Execute consistently - and together
@imtinet and I made a pact to upload one video per week each. And we talk more than ever during the weeks about the creative process.
It is infinitely more do-able and fun to be in good company on a journey.

4/Learn from those around you
I haven't been able to attend @AliAbdaal's PTYA, but it's been so helpful to peak in at the work/journeys of those in the game.
Thanks @CharlotCrowther; @visakanv; @RobbieCrab; @yathprem; @m_ashcroft; @JustBhavs for doing interesting things.

5/Introductions
These have to snap. (Work in progress for me.)
Have a strong suspicion you've only got about ten-fifteen seconds to keep people engaged.
Thoughts on this one with the writing? Enough snap? Or not enough snap?

6/Recording and editing
Editing takes forever and I wish I could time-travel to the end of the process.
I did realise, however, that I often re-recorded lines which were not quite on script but were fine.
Perfectionism is not helpful.
(Not the below though!)

7/Tech
You can do this without being a tech person, as long as you are committed.
I am not a tech person, but I have probably spent 100 hours at least on figuring stuff out.
Don't give up.

8/Presenting
In my article on this I discuss the 4 areas of focus:
Planning and Design - how you prepare and structure
Body Language - how you physically deliver
Delivery - how you verbally deliver
Extra-engagement - how you engage with others https://www.hparvez.com/cv-skills/attention-to-detail-d2hbw-xtje3-ygjmg

9/Tell stories
Some of my feedback has included: "I really liked the anecdotes about [X] and [Y]."
Even though our content is not entirely similar, I'm always trying to dissect @ColinandSamir's videos for how they tell their stories so well.

10/Time
I think we have more time than we think, and less self-discipline than we ought.
If it is the case that you enjoy or want something, you will allocate time appropriately.
