The core idea is to be able to move my audio recordings away from Soundcloud to my own domain & website

The rest is goodies

Let's see where it goes 👇

Let's take a little journey through the creative process

First up is usually audio recordings, which kinda creates a circular problem here

Anyhow idea-audio will probably mostly stay private

I prefer to demonstrate the process & the doing, rather than the deluded daydreaming

Next up is the form-mapper

This is a technique & template I created last year (when most of the creative process behind @theunfoldingway was created)

I use this to get ideas down & flowing, quickly assess them for value, and identify a realistic form i can rapidly create 👇

Next technique is an 'Unfolding Journal'

All of this is a process of discovery; I find it frees the mind & avoids procrastination, which is a product of needing to know, which is a product of 'work'

This maintains focus on the 'real' from the above technique & reveals detail

The reverse side reveals more detail; in this case, a little basic design + the html structure to build

It also reveals the activities which will be undertaken in order to create the form

None of this is planning; you just pick it up & take it to the next stage when fancied

And that's it

The activities are green, and the thing is done

So here is the basic html 'audiodrop' page:

theunfoldingway.com/drops/template…

Additional bonuses of this technique:

Not a task manager app, calendar, nor human manager in sight

Instead, simple creative pleasure at one's leisure

Also means that devices are for doing, not for managing

This also reduces screen time quite a bit, improving quality of life

Below is the next iteration of this Drop page template:

adding twitter meta-tags to display a playable audio widget when a Drop is posted into a tweet
