A busy April

Welcome to “Baldi’s Podcast”, a podcast hosted by survivor, internationally renowned lifelong Musician, Educator, Keynote Motivational Speaker, Writer and International Double Gold Medallist “Baldi”, AKA Amonn AL-Mahrouq encouraging you all to reach your full potential, pursue your dreams and inspire others along your journey.

How did April treat you? For me, I’ve enjoyed my busiest month this year, with things set only to become busier I’ve taken to planning and writing Pod scripts on the wherever and whenever I am able to.

Personally, I feel, it’s always great to communicate as concisely as possible. In this vein and taking off from my previous Pod “The Future Arrives”, I’ve lots of exciting plans and explanations ahead, without future ado, let’s jump in.

The main reason behind the plans I am now implementing is they enable me to streamline my workflow even future, freeing up vital time for me to challenge myself with my Piano, recommence my Figure Skating and to implement my future plans to inspire you all, to which I will now turn, however first.

Towards the end of April an opportunity for a trip to London presented itself, which I readily took as it’s been so long since I’ve been in our Nations Capital. Once arriving, we passed a pleasant day which proved to be both informative and constructive. During our trip, we passed and waved at some of the many buildings of my old University (Trinity College of Music), still a Uni, however, different and whilst walking marvelled at how quickly London changes. Being country people, compared with London, we thankfully noted with much surprise and delight cleaner air, however, still lots of hoots from traffic! Typically, the train on our return journey was packed to the rafters, so no change there!

Let me now turn to future plans. As of June 1, 2022, my static web site and Twitter account will no longer exist, therefore, please bookmark this, my Podcasting site to hear about future plans and exciting Pods in the works. Do also bear with me whilst I not only transition to one site, however also move e-mail address and Office Suites at the same time. Yes, I’m aware of the saying “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it”, and in many ways my system is far from broken, however, currently I have many apps for many tasks and need to consolidate my workflow into the most efficient.

Current logic says, as and when existing subscriptions run their course, I will move to combine as much as possible into as few subscriptions as possible. Currently, my deadline is November of this year to consolidate note taking, writing Apps and e-mail accounts.

In Podcasting news, I have completed adding written transcripts to all existing casts and will endeavour to add to all new moving forwards. I will keep a text only copy locally, ensuring I am not leaving behind any of my followers who prefer blog posts.

Currently, I am working on creating a pdf Media Pack. Moving forwards, I aim to update this document regularly which is why for the moment it will be available only via e-mail request, thanks for your understanding.

In other news, I have now completed setting up and verifying my Google Workspace account, which I shall endeavour to use moving forwards. Thankfully, this online suite combines not only my note taking, calendar, reminders and document creation, but also online document and file space, and, crucially e-mail. Moving everything to Google Workspace I believe will allow me to shed even more subscriptions thus consolidate apps and dramatically improve my workflow.

Highly recommended if you are in the Portsmouth, United Kingdom area and want a quick bite of Middle Eastern food is “Leila Mezza” dot com, who serve great authentic food at reasonable prices, combined with lovely atmosphere, ambiance and non pushy staff.
