There are two very good reasons for this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">One is that lots of you commented, not that I am complaining.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The other is that sometimes managing all the demands on my time creates a little pressure. Not only did we have a very busy recording session this morning, but I also had meetings and a pile of emails to deal with. That was on top of six blog posts, one LinkedIn post, and a Substack post, although the last two are very largely James\u2019s work now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">This afternoon, I have three videos to review, Thomas having edited them. Otherwise, there will not be videos between now and Monday morning, and although he does a great job, I always want to make sure that I am happy with everything, and usually make a few tweaks before the thing goes out, whilst also\u00a0 creating the blog post for use here from the transcript at the same time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If I wanted a quiet retirement, I most definitely went the wrong way about this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And if you are also wondering why I did, as a result, write this additional blog post, that was written by dictating it into my phone as I walked to get a coffee at a regular destination where they are used to seeing me sitting with a pair of headphones on, watching and listening to myself as edits progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please accept my apologies for the slowness in moderation today.
