Box Peek October Update (Last One!) (Patreon)

You read that parenthetical correctly, this will be my final monthly Box Peek update. Not because I'm giving up, but because I'm actually almost done!

Production Update:
October was a very good Box Peek month. After wrapping up all of the Episode 10 prep, I shot and edited episodes 8 and 9. This means that all that's left is to shoot and edit the final episode and to edit the Season 2 trailer, which I expect to have out at some point this week.
The premiere date will depend on finding a good hole in the EZA schedule as well as something that works well for me logistically, but I'll have that figured out within the week.

Behind-the-Scenes Thoughts:
Feels pretty crazy to go from months of nothing finished to "Hey look out, premiering imminently!" I'd say there are few things that got us here:

1. It really does take a lot longer to prep an episode than to shoot and edit it. Getting 8, 9, and 10 prepped back-to-back was a real slog, but the last couple of weeks have been a relative breeze. My hands don't even hurt anymore.

2. My new therapist is a pretty weird guy who frequently calls me an actual infant, but he has good advice on project management. Last month I created a Finish Box Peek grid in Google Docs, an uptight formality I would have normally dismissed, and it's actually been very helpful in organizing my time and giving me a great idea of whether I'm behind or ahead of schedule. If you're curious, google "Gantt Chart" and see for yourself how stupid this stuff is. Definitely for dorks but definitely useful.

3. I've been utilizing the power of Taking Breaks to great effect. I'm not talking about walking around the house and taking little stretches, I'm talking 20-40 minute breaks baby. Basically at the first sign of slowing down I'll just step away for a bit, maybe stick my feet in the robotic foot massager, and come back at a higher power level than before. In the end I get more done on consistent break day than I do a massive marathon day.

There is still a lot to do before launch day, but it feels incredibly close. The truth is I wanted to have my trailer done for this post so I could really blow you away, but it didn't happen and that's okay. I'm guessing most didn't expect me to finish anytime soon (myself included) so we're still ahead of public expectation while behind the unholy Gantt Chart. Look forward to the Season 2 trailer within the next seven days, and along with that I'll make a post here including all of the launch plans.

Thank you for your continued patience and support,
Kyle
