If you’re having trouble squeezing in your prospecting outreach, try stopping after 10 minutes.
If you know you only have 10 minutes to post or email your content
Try setting a timer for 10 minutes
If you don’t finish
Then don’t finish
And here’s why:
Giving yourself a seemingly insanely small amount of time to write
And then forcing yourself to walk away if you don’t finish
Allows you to:
- Finish
- Or have the experience of walking away and coming back to it with fresh eyes
If you fall under category #2 today
You might find that when you do come back to it
Later today or tomorrow
That it won’t take you but 5 minutes
To finish the whole darn thing
If you’ve got more than 10 minutes:
Try walking away after 10 minutes anyway
And coming back to it
My guess is:
You’ll still finish way faster
And, BONUS:
You’ll almost certainly notice
That you could have explained something in a much simpler way
Making it way faster
For your prospect
To understand
Whatever it is
You’d like them
To buy.

P.S. This trick of “sleeping on it” makes for faster emails that are MUCH more fun to write.
P.P.S. I taught my son this trick this past weekend and it got him to enjoy working on his MATH homework – in the SUMMER!
