HOW TO QUADRUPLE YOUR WRITING SPEED (WITHOUT DOING MORE WORK)

Want to quadruple your writing speed while doing less work?

This is easier than you think.

You see, it might sound stupid, but the best way to write faster (and work less) is to get long term clients.

The reason for this is simple.

Starting a new job is hard.

You have to get to grips with the subject you’re writing about.

There’s research to do, things to learn, and other stuff you’ll be unsure of.

But here’s the thing:

Work gets faster the second time.

And the more you write about a  topic the faster you’ll get.

In fact, once you’ve been with a client for a year or two, your work speed increases exponentially.

For example, let’s say you’re writing blog posts.

The first post might take 2,3 even 4 hours to write.

A year later that same work will take about 20 minutes.

I’ve experienced this dozens of times.

This also happens with any type of work you’re doing.

The more you do it the faster you get.

The bottom line is that you should aim to get as many long term clients as you can.

This way you can work faster, do more work, and ultimately make more money.

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT (QUICKLY)

There was a time when I was massively overweight.

Obviously I wanted to do something about this.

(After all, no one wants to be FAT).

But, like most people, I found it extremely difficult to lose weight.

Despite starting a serious exercise program I struggled to make progress.

Then I read one of those stupid, “5 tips to burn fat” articles that are plastered all over the web.

One of those tips was keeping a food journal.

In case you don’t know, this is basically a diary where you write down what you eat.

I did this for a month then looked back over the entries.

After reading these I was both stunned and appalled.

The amount of food I ate was incredible.

Not only that, almost everything I ate was junk food.

I basically lived on garbage like chips, pizza, hot dogs and fast food.

At this point I immediately changed my eating habits.

And from there on out started steadily losing weight.

What’s the point of telling you all this?

Simply that if you want to change something start tracking it.

Whether this is spending less money, losing weight or learning a new skill.

By tracking your habits you will immediately take control of them…

…and start to gradually improve things.

After all, to quote management guru Peter Drucker…

“What gets measured gets managed.”

WHAT THEY DON’T TELL YOU ABOUT PROCRASTINATION

Did you know there’s a mythical land where all achievement and attainment lies?

This land is called TOMORROW.

You see, what most people don’t realize is that you absolutely cannot afford to put things off.

Especially in today’s frantic, fast paced world.

In my experience it’s not a case of simply waiting until tomorrow.

The reality is that you actually might not get a chance to do it tomorrow.

If you wait until tomorrow the entire landscape may have changed.

Tomorrow you’re going to have to deal with new challenges, difficulties and problems.

And what you put off today will simply end up being put off again (and again and again).

This is why minor problems can end up dragging on for months and sometimes years.

Bottom line, never put ANYTHING off.

Do what you have to do and do it NOW.
