He is currently prioritizing YouTube content, and the frequency of podcasts may decrease or eventually stop. The speaker also plans to write a book, which will require a significant time investment.

Break down large tasks into smaller subtasks: Chunking tasks into smaller subtasks can make them less intimidating and easier to accomplish, building confidence and momentum towards a goal.
Breaking down large, intimidating tasks into smaller, manageable subtasks can make them seem less daunting and easier to accomplish. This strategy, also known as "chunking," can be applied to various situations, whether it's physically challenging tasks or mentally intimidating ones, like learning to read out loud. For instance, when the speaker first started his exercise routine, he found the idea of working out daunting. So, he broke down the task into smaller subtasks, such as waking up, getting a towel, and showering. By focusing on these smaller tasks, he was able to overcome the mental hurdle and start his exercise routine. Similarly, when the speaker's daughter was learning to read out loud, she found the task intimidating due to the large number of words in a book. To help her overcome her fear, the speaker broke down the task into smaller subtasks, such as focusing on one line at a time, and even breaking down larger words into smaller parts. This strategy of breaking down tasks into smaller subtasks can be effective in building confidence and making progress towards a goal, whether it's learning a new skill or tackling a challenging project. By focusing on the smaller tasks, we can make progress and build momentum, which can help us overcome the mental hurdles and tackle larger tasks with greater ease.
Break down large tasks into smaller goals: Setting achievable goals and gradually building upon them helps make progress on big projects.
Breaking down large tasks into smaller, achievable goals can help make progress on seemingly unattainable projects. By setting attainable goals and gradually building upon them, one can make significant progress over time. This approach can be applied to various aspects of life, whether physical or mental challenges. It's essential to remember that the initial goals should seem easily achievable to avoid overwhelming the person and causing them to shut down. By following this method, we can piece together the larger goal and make meaningful progress towards its achievement.
