Day Twenty

Well I am getting a lot better at doing this now. I learned a number of things about product creation today. First and foremost, never create a information product on a word processor. Something about typing on a computer - on a word processor, makes you go slower. I am a fast typer, yet when I am trying to write a book, I am damn slow!

So what I do is write on yellow legal notepads - and man does it ever help! I dono what it is or why I am sooo much faster when writing on notepads, but man oh man do I ever get a lot more done. I also noticed, that by turning the computer off, I get more work done. Even if I am writing on notepads, just having the computer screen on seems to slow me down.

Computers and the internet especially and particularly excellent ways to waste a lot of time. They are full of distractions and make it very easy to constantly be wasting time. When you just have a pen and a pad of paper, you are able to focus much more clearly on the task at hand. I personally prefer to spend one hour writing effectively and then go do whatever the hell I want - rather than spend four hours trying to type on the computer while being distracted.

Overall I got a lot accomplished in a short period of time. I am starting to balance out my life more, relaxing in the day and then doing short, highly effective bursts of work at night. I find I not only get more done but I also work less!

The book on success is coming along nicely, I decided I was going to do a lot more than what most people do. I am really going the extra mile to deliver great value to my readers. It feels pretty good to be writing this book, I don't feel anxious or worried like the other products. I have a really good feeling about this product.
