Staying consistent with podcasting becomes especially challenging during summer months when family obligations, home repairs, and world events compete for attention and energy.

• Summer creates unique challenges for content creators with disrupted routines and family priorities
• Home repairs and family health issues can quickly derail a podcast schedule
• World events and news cycles create additional distractions that drain mental energy
• Downloads and listener engagement naturally dip during vacation seasons
• Batch recording provides a buffer but requires significant advance planning
• Recording shorter episodes can help maintain consistency with less production time
• Finding creative recording spaces like your car can work when home isn't quiet
• The 23-minute episode length balances monetization potential and listener attention spans
• Involving older children in the podcast process can create both bonding and productivity
• Focusing on progress rather than perfection helps maintain momentum
• Remembering your "why" provides motivation during challenging periods

Be good or be good at it.
