20:51 - Multi tasking. That happens at our Job Club - "... I want to hear about your disability, but a disability is not a job skill... did you give anybody a resume?..."" 22:03 - Work/life experience versus education. 22:58 - Music theory versus musical performance. You can know the theory, but can you keep a beat. But then my granddaughter can remember a song, she just forgets the words. Or in medicine - you can learn about a procedure, but at some point you have to be able to do it. Interesting to think about. 26:09 - Your plug for your Skill Share Course - That's what I struggle with right now. I have the time, but what is my next action step. 37:37 - Watching a video is a lot easier than transcribing it. And transcribing a video is a lot easier than summarizing it. 39:58 - Not video editing, but when I am trying to pull together some of my old journal notes - yeah, first draft, I want to kill myself. OK, so that's encouraging - thanks Thomas. 42:36 - Yeah Martin, when I am transcribing, I don't remember what I heard, and when I'm listening, I can't take notes. 49:22 - I gave my 11 year old granddaughter an old voice recorder so she can hear how she sounds when she sings. Sometimes I record the song she likes, like you do with Spotify AND sometimes I can find an instrumental version, so she can sing solo. 59:50 - Dance routines - that's another thing the kids like to do. Getting them to understand practicing a series of steps and then combining that into a longer routine - well, that's a work in progress. 1:01:47 - That's like my physical therapist trying to explain to me how to get up after I fall.
