I absolutely love listening to podcasts and listen to them when doing work, walking, gym or just in the background when i'm in the flat by myself and just need some company.
Podcasts are a great platform to learn new things and listen to some intellectual thoughts or findings. However my favourite are the really chatty style ones giving advice and simply telling listeners about their week. Podcasts give me so much inspiration and often motivation to get up and out to see or experience something new. I also love lifestyle vlogs! I know their some peoples worst nightmare but just love putting them on in the background when doing simples tasks: getting ready in the morning, cleaning, sorting, cooking. I really enjoy background noise and lifestyle vlogs give me the motivation to get my day going.
I have always wanted to potentially start a podcast one day but never had the confidence to do it. However I was thinking the other day how this platform could form a blog/mini podcast area. I absolutely hate writing and often find it so difficult to get what is in my head out on to paper and constantly need someone to check through my words to ensure they make sense and there are some full stops at point during the post to let readers breathe.
I am at my most creative in the evenings and some of my best thoughts come to me just before I got sleep or whilst i'm dreaming (I am a very deep sleeper and have very realistic dreams)
I tend to pack my desk away in the evening because I find it difficult to switch off so have lots of random post it notes around the place with thoughts/ ideas and often they make much sense the next day.
When I did my presentation the other day I forgot how much I like talking about my thoughts and ideas because Covid 19 has definitely stopped the interactive and collaborative side of design. Then reflecting on my presentation I thought about how I could start utilising my random ideas through voice notes, I have always got my phone with me and I use voice notes to send messages to friends and its the way we talk on our big group chat. I am so excited to see how my design work and ideas and develop with this new way of recording my thoughts. When random evening thoughts come to me or waking up from a dream I will often just talk into voice note and this is going to be the start of my thoughts for the current post which I will upload making this blog even more real and honest.
Look and listen out for future posts and to see if voice will be able to capture all my thoughts and crazy thinking!
