Ok, I am about to enter week seven of my 12 Week Year and the needle is certainly moving more and more each week.
Think about it how many books and programs have you bought and ready that have actually given you results?
In the opening paragraph, the author outright promises that results are available in a very short space of time, which immediately got my ‘self-development bollox’ radar on red alert.
Of course, it is not one book, it is everything diet, family, coworking space and just growing up.
Where I went wrong this week.
– Not planning the week properly (and I paid the price at the end.)
– I slacked off meditating in the morning and lost the delicious clarity I get with this practice.
– ‘Working’ at night and pissing about with my phone in the evening.
– I ate sugar to feel better and, well feel shit.
Even with this I kept going and made more podcasts, blogs, sold more Trello course places and sent more UpWork proposals than last week.
Where I have found the most time.
You may recall I said I was not going to share goals what was coming up. This has saved me HOURS of listening to my own bollox, and I am sure other people are delighted to be spared my ill thought out whining.
Every week I sit down to write this email and the first thing I want to tell you is ‘my goal this week is to sell 10 sailing boats and write 100 blogs.’
All that ‘I’m going to dreaming’ energy has gone into execution and working out where I am falling short.
App For That
Hence the recommendation of the writing app below, for a load of technical reasons this has helped me sort out the app wanking I was doing everywhere else.
It is built by someone who is a writer as a side project so really works, I mention this as the place I was losing the most traction and focus was actually writing and sending it somewhere.
The speed and enthusiasm that I write with means two strong posts a day are easy for me.
What has not been easy is checking and proofreading and organising the results of my research.
One last thing…
Every Thursday 09:30am – 11:30am we have our ‘Write Club’ here @Work Hubs in Euston.
Come and geek out, if you a pro or just want to try and get a blog post onto your site more often this is a great place to hang out and I’d love to welcome you.
Have a GREAT week and thanks for reading!
Love Bernie!
P.P.S. – Don’t you hate people who have a photo with someone big and then use it every chance they get?
