When I’m riding on my favourite track, there are hills. Not as big as some in other countries or even other parts of Australia, but big enough for me. In my attempts to improve my average speed over the course, I often stand up when climbing the hills. This is a challenge when I’m already tired from the last 30km. So, I count to switch from sitting to standing. If I count up, I find it harder to get going because I can keep counting without the impetus to stand. So I count down because when I get to 1, there is nowhere else to go, and I stand. Sometimes I find that there are similar problems with getting started or continuing to work on a project. It’s definitely easier to recheck the emails or do a little scoping on Facebook. Even drop into YouTube and watch some ‘training’ videos in a niche I don’t work in, soccer videos, bike racing videos, or anything that I can waste some time with and pretend I’m researching. That’s when I start to count. Not the videos I’m going to watch but the time when I turn everything off and get back to work. 3, 2, 1, write that email. Complete that sales page. Start that video. You get the picture. What do you do to get started? Regards, P.S. There are times when you know you have to get something done and published, but you have only a small window to work with. That’s when creating short videos can work for you. They only take around 20 minutes from start to uploaded as long as you have the written content done. You can have the written content done in a 20-minute window if the idea is already saved. You can have content queued up and ready for use by working in short bursts. All it takes is a little pre-planning and 3, 2, 1, go. See how easy it is to create short videos with this free training. |
