Yesterday was a great day for ChronicBabe stuff. I spent the afternoon at Flashpoint Academy with Elena Rubin, my “magical audio princess” (a.k.a. sound engineer/producer). We recorded two episodes of my upcoming ChronicBabe podcast, which I’m SO excited to launch finally!

The thing about recording audio (or pursuing any creative activity) is you can’t multi-task. There was no tweeting or answering email, no making or taking phone calls. There was only thinking, and speaking, about a very specific topic.

It was wonderful. Yes, I fell way behind on email yesterday, but it was worth it to be fully present in that moment with Elena. The results will speak for themselves, I believe.

What if we operated in this way every day? I know it’s impossible to expect that we can be fully present in every moment, but what if we gave it a shot at least once a day? What if we picked a specific task and just focused in? Would we see greater results? Would we feel more satisfied, more relaxed? I think this experiment has shown me the answer.
