Tiny Prep
from Roleplay Rescue
Today’s episode is a quick overview of an approach to GM preparation that I call Tiny Prep. It was inspired by the work of BJ Fogg, the Director of the Stanford Behavioural Lab and discussed at length in his highly-recommended book “Tiny Habits”. Tiny Prep is the simple idea of doing your GM game preparations in very small increments daily or, in my case, six days a week. I utilise the science of human behaviour revealed by BJ Fogg to leverage the natural habit-forming processes of the human brain to increase my output of prep before games. The great benefit is that I now prep more material and better quality material for my games than I did before. For my anxiety, this has helped me hugely.Thanks to Brian, Jason, and Wiebe for the call-ins!Tiny Habits: BJ Fogg | Tiny Habits OR https://tinyhabits.com/Fogg Behaviour Model: Behavior Model OR https://behaviormodel.org/Game on!Roleplay Rescue Details:Voice Message: speakpipe.com/roleplayrescuePatreon: patreon.com/rpgrescue Email: [email protected]: roleplayrescue.com MeWe Group: mewe.com/join/roleplayrescue (or search "Roleplay Rescue")Twitter: @ubiquitousratRoleplay Rescue Theme by Jon Cohen from Tale of the Manticore: Tale of The Manticore, a Dark Fantasy Dungeons & Dragons Audiodrama (podbean.com) or https://taleofthemanticore.podbean.com/ Hosted on Acast.
