When quantity leads to quality, then the following is also true:

As a writer your measure is words written.

As a voice actor your measure is pieces acted out.

As a story producer your measure is stories produced.

Write. Act. Produce.

Do more of it, especially out of self-initiation, and not only on commission.

Nudists are happy about the benefits of home office (remote work) during the current European heatwave, and regular people as well; Zoom calls can happen with only a light t-shirt on 👨‍💼👕 👩‍💼👚 but no underwear ❌🩳 ❌🩲

I don’t understand why they say ‘melting’ 🫠 when it comes to heat and high temperatures, when ‘drying out’ 🏜 seems more appropriate.

But that’s just me being me.

The good news: James offers his book as a FREE ebook, although I recommend buying a physical copy for taking notes by hand.

However.

You download the book FOR FREE here:

Do it, read it, implement it.

Or, if you’d like to spend less time, watch these 7 two-minute video clips that I edited (and wrote Clip Titles) for my past client, Rick Mulready, as part of my agency work:

Having experienced James Schramko multiple times over the last couple of years, his “Work Less Make More” is the first book whose lesson I’m actually implementing in my journey as a voice actor.

James lives in Australia.

Has a family.

Surfs every single day.

Works 15-ish hours a week.

You can listen to his short 52-minute interview with Rick Mulready here, if you’re not familiar with James Schramko yet (it’s the piece of content that made me buy his book):

Sometimes I feel that people are confused. They try to find answers in an ark but struggle to find one.

Then I say:

I dreamed about drowning in an ocean made out of orange soda last night.

It took me a while to work out it was just a Fanta sea.

For that purpose I just updated my Mastodon profile and the birdsite profile, too:

* https://mastodon.naii.io/web/@naii
* https://twitter.com/naii

I figured the best use of a bio on Twitter/Mastodon is a “what i’m doing now” statement.

When you say what you’re doing now, it reflects your activity, not your “wanna-be” (i only wrote it like this because it rhymes ^^).

Instead of showing an arguably relatively non-saying “Loving Husband/Wife - CEO/CTO/CXX - Pizza addict” statement, you present your current actions, which is much cooler, imho.

* Staying in your mental and physical zone of comfort for an increased “fear of others”, e.g. Amy Cooper called the New York City Police Department and accused an African American man of threatening her in Central Park after he asked her to leash her dog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFjxye6T4fk - that is a problem.
* ...

The examples on their own are unproblematic, but all of them together are “brutal”.

A settled life with an above-average socioeconmic status is fertile ground for a Bubble of Dependency.

👇

Examples for third parties are:

* Gym membership
* Food delivery (regular usage)
* Hanging out with “your class” only
* Isolation from “regular” people
** taking Uber instead of public transporation
** staying in hotels instead of hostels
* Disconnection from your true to please “your class” people only
* Over-consumption of unproductive content and nutrient-poor food

👇

What is a Bubble of Dependency?

A Bubble of Dependency is a man-made, self-constructed way of living in which you allow third parties–people, services, tools–to create a life that largely depends on them working for you.

Without aforementioned third parties, your life falls apart, and you are unable to function, in the worst version of a Bubble of Dependency.

Finally made the investment I’ve been procrastinating for a while: an indoor rowing machine, not exactly cheap but made close to where I’m living here in Germany, so that’s a bonus
