![]() I can write an entire review of just nothing but micro-details from front-to-back of every track. With a record, there's a macro and a micro picture, and I find personally it's a bit easier to write a review if I can take a little bit more time with it without feeling a time crunch. But there's definitely a process, and I will spend some of the early listening sessions hearing the record casually and just getting a general sense for it instead of diving into the nitty-gritty of a record immediately. I'm not an encyclopedia, and I have to be reminded of things. And again, if you were watching it from the outside, it would be very much like watching grass grow-concentrating, writing notes, doing a little bit of research online, etc. So, as a result, there is a strict listening routine, a strict digestion routine, I guess you could say. And I would say that there is a strict routine given that I have to put out reviews regularly. On average, I would say four to six times, and I do keep notes. There are always new challenges to take on even when things seem to be easy, you know? ![]() And when I understand what those things are, I have to go out and learn to do them. ![]() But even as things get comfortable, I then learn about new things that I could be doing or should be doing. I'm trying to get better every day doing that stuff and trying to be better at bringing other people in on those processes so it can be done efficiently. Because, you know, all they see at the end of the day is the review, but they don't see everything that needs to occur for the content to happen. There are still aspects of what I do that I'm still learning to do well, and a lot of it is behind the scenes stuff that nobody really knows or understands. But trying to figure out how to do that, on top of creating content, is even more difficult. And even after the point where there was, I was still figuring out how to be a manager or a boss. There wasn't a budget to hire or work with anyone else in the beginning. The most recent development is learning to hire other people because there was a long time when I feel like I toiled very much independently. I think that's the point that I'm at now. I think when you're doing anything for this long, you do fall into a groove with it.
