Summary
In this episode I talk about how I went from having appeared on a handful of podcasts (and feeling pretty nervous/anxious about them) to appearing on A LOT of podcasts, and feeling really relaxed about the whole thing. That is, I talk about my 100 Podcasts Challenge, which I am working on in 2022. [On that, if you have a podcast or know someone who does, and would love me as a guest, I really need help - I'm on 70 with about two months to go. Please get in touch!!] It's about the power of an outrageous goal and taking focused action, and it's about how I coped when the challenge got overwhelming. I talk about the benefits and insights I've taken away from the challenge and more. I reference Episode 3 quite a few times, as I used a lot of my learnings from building my coaching business, as you'll hear. Here's the page to learn more about the challenge, listen to many of the shows I've been on (including those I mention) and more: https://www.robbieswale.com/writing/2022/2/4/the-12-minute-method-100-podcasts-challenge I'm so grateful to everyone who's supported me with the challenge, in particular all the amazing podcast hosts who have had me on their shows. Please do go out of your way to support those shows - people are doing amazing, creative things in the podcasting space and the world is better for it. In particular, here's Michael Chaffin's new show: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4ApIAI6MB8h9Pxo89AWBIZ?si=A4jR3OtUT82hWT8ERTGQ7Q (Michael was, if I remember correctly, the first person to ever have me on a podcast) And here's Cat Preston's show, where I had the Who am I to do this? insight: https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-dxhf6-11b1225 If you want help from me in creating a challenge for yourself, why not come over to the 12-Minute Method Facebook group and post a question: https://www.facebook.com/groups/611939479993065 Or drop me an email. -- About the 12-Minute Method Podcast: In this podcast, I (leadership coach and author Robbie Swale) investigate why we sometimes don't do the things that deep down we really want to do. In each episode of season 1, I am going to reflect on a time in my life where I have beaten procrastination, become more productive and finally done something important to me, hoping that by doing this I will learn more about what it really takes to go from wanting to do something (but not doing it) to getting it done. And hoping that whatever you take away from each episode might help you get your idea off the ground and out into the world.

S1E14 - Starting a Podcast II: The 12-Minute Method Podcast
Release Date: 11/04/2022
Description: In this final 'normal' episode of Series 1 of this podcast I get into the most recent project that I've got off the ground... this podcast! I talk about how stressed I got starting out and recording the little bits of music, I talk about where it came from and the roles that Cat Preston's Collective Wisdom Podcast and The Podcast Show 2022 both played in creating it. It's also an episode about the 100 Podcast Challenge (see Episode 13 or https://www.robbieswale.com/writing/2022/2/4/the-12-minute-method-100-podcasts-challenge for more) because that's what made me get creative and get productive about making this show. I talk a bit about some of the struggles, and mostly about how I made it about learning and success beyond success, and not about how many people I had listening, which I worry about. I mention this Warren Buffett/James Clear story again: https://jamesclear.com/buffett-focus It's about how to create an avoid-at-all-costs list, and it's the goal-setting exercise I have been using for the last five years, which has really helped me be more productive and finally do the things I've been meaning to do. As this project is so fresh - ongoing, in fact! - I can feel all the parts of me that want to tell you more about it, about all the things I'm learning and still learning... and about how this episode isn't good enough. But that's the magic of the timer. And of practising the 12-Minute Method... it's not perfect, but I've done enough for today. Enjoy! I'll be back later in the year with a Series 1 review, and will be reflecting ahead of next year on how I might continue (or not) this podcast. Thanks for listening! -- About the 12-Minute Method Podcast: In this podcast, I (leadership coach and author Robbie Swale) investigate why we sometimes don't do the things that deep down we really want to do.

S1E4 - Starting a Blog: The Origin of The 12-Minute Method
Release Date: 08/26/2022
Description: Right - it's time to talk about how the 12-Minute Method came about. In this episode, as part of my investigation into what we need to beat procrastination, be more productive and finally do the things we want to do, I talk about one of the most important commitments I've ever made: to write a series of short blogs on my train journey over a two week period. That became a blog I've now been writing weekly for six years, which has changed so many things about me and genuinely been one of the most transformative things I have ever done. It was also how I created the four books in the 12-Minute Method series. You can read the first of these - How to Start When You're Stuck - here: https://geni.us/startwhenyourestuck Important parts of the journey included the gentle invitation I got from Joel Monk of Coaches Rising to create a series, the things I had learned from Tim Ferriss about how to get something going without your embarrassment stopping you, and Steven Pressfield's Resistance (and the rule of thumb: the more Resistance you feel about something, the more important it is to your soul's evolution). The easiest way to read the 12-Minute Blog is on my website here: https://www.robbieswale.com/the-12-minute-blog It's also still on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robbieswale/detail/recent-activity/posts/ Here is the first article of The Train Series, which became the 12-Minute blog: https://www.robbieswale.com/the-12-minute-blog/2021/11/23/the-train-series-1-stories -- About the 12-Minute Method Podcast: In this podcast, I (leadership coach and author Robbie Swale) investigate why we sometimes don't do the things that deep down we really want to do.

S1E11 - Publishing Books: The 12-Minute Method Series
Release Date: 10/14/2022
Description: This episode is the story of publishing the 12-Minute Method series of books. How did the books come about? Why did it take me 2 years after having the idea to get them out? I talk about the help I had along the way, including Steve Creek, Jericho Writers and Tim and Joseph at www.self-published.co.uk. I talk about the evolution of the idea and the books and more. I reflect on whether the two-year period was procrastination, or whether it was necessary for the books to find their rightful home. Certainly the journey changed me and, reflecting now, for me feels like it has served my own growth so well. I said I would link to a few things: - My article on Gay Hendricks' frame, The Zone of Genius: https://www.robbieswale.com/the-12-minute-blog/2022/2/3/the-zone-of-genius-the-most-powerful-thought-experiment-for-personal-transformation - My time management article, where I talk about Saying Yes and Saying No, and Warren Buffett: https://www.robbieswale.com/writing/2018/7/23/15-ways-to-change-your-relationship-to-time-get-more-done-and-feel-better-while-you-do-it - The draft preview edition of my book, The Power to Choose, which I referenced in this episode: https://www.robbieswale.com/writing/2020/3/23/why-am-i-sharing-parts-of-my-forthcoming-book-the-power-to-choose - My dad's poetry: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pete-Armstrong/e/B082BDCM2P - My article about publishing these books: https://www.robbieswale.com/the-12-minute-blog/2021/12/17/the-story-of-the-publishing-of-the-12-minute-method -- About the 12-Minute Method Podcast: In this podcast, I (leadership coach and author Robbie Swale) investigate why we sometimes don't do the things that deep down we really want to do.

12 Minute Halacha
Release Date: 08/12/2020
Authors: Rabbi Eli Markowitz
Description: We all try to dedicate time for learning Torah. Many people attend Daf Yomi, have a chavrusa, etc. Yet, most people find it difficult to learn Halacha in a consistent and clear way. We either spend too much time on one subject or try to breeze through a summary of all the laws in a few minutes. Neither of these approaches work. The concept of 12 Minute Halacha Daily (Monday through Friday) is to spend one hour a week learning Halacha from the sources all the way through the contemporary poskim and applications. This can be listened to while driving, sitting down with the sefer, or even while taking a leisurely walk. The purpose of the Shiur is to learn Halacha together without getting bogged down with many details or fancy lomdus. This way one can go through many Halachos with a deep appreciation of the sources, the rules, and see why we do what we do in our everyday lives. That is why i chose the Chayei Adam as a springboard. This podcast isn't intended to replace the need for a Rav i
