Dedicated ‘work time’ and why everyone needs to do this simple activity

Dedicated ‘work time’ and why everyone needs to do this simple activity

Something I'm experimenting with is using "time blocks" of 20 minutes to accomplish more tasks.

I set a little timer on my Apple Watch for 20 minutes and focus on one specific task for 20 minutes at a time. This helps me from all the distractions I normally have and might help you as well!

How to Stop Feeling Overwhelmed Right Now

How to Stop Feeling Overwhelmed Right Now

Can we all admit that being overwhelmed is not a good feeling? 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

It just feels like everything compounds on one another. Like the mountain just keeps getting bigger and bigger with no end in sight.

This sometimes leads to anxiety building up and then for me I get a little angry because of everything I feel like I need to do.

If you think about it, the process of getting overwhelmed makes sense. We spread ourselves a little bit too thin and that makes it hard for us to accomplish all of our goals.

We have these endless to-do lists that keep getting bigger and it seems like the harder we work, the farther we get from our goals.📋

I want you to think about a half-full glass right now. 🥃

Think about what it's like when you start to pour more liquid into the glass. It fills up, right?

Your brain is the same way. 🧠

You have a finite amount of space in your brain for all of the stuff that you think you need to get done. Every time you add something else, it's just filling up your brain glass even more.

When that happens, things start to fall off to the side right? If there's a finite space then we can't really keep adding stuff until we free up some space.

That's when we get overwhelmed and feel like there just isn't enough time ⏳

That's where this activity comes in... you're going to want to grab a pen/pencil and a notebook. You're going to want to put aside 5-10 minutes and just do this one simple activity.

🛑 STOP READING UNTIL YOU GET YOUR PEN AND PAPER 🛑

You're going to spend the next 5-10 minutes just writing down every single thing that is in your mind.

Seriously. Go get the pen and paper if you haven't yet.

All of the thoughts you have should be written down in the notebook. All of the unfinished projects, all of the household chores, all of the phone calls you haven't made yet.

Write them all down in this notebook so that you can visually see exactly what has been on your mind lately. 📝

Doing this might make you feel a little overwhelmed and that makes sense... I mean look at all the stuff you have to do!

After this, you're going to need to set up a plan of action. I personally like to do the little things first. The stuff that'll take like 5 minutes or less.

✅Then CROSS THOSE THINGS OFF YOUR LIST. ✅

The process of crossing these things off is huge, every single time I do it, I feel a little bit less overwhelmed.

You'll also see that you are clearing up some more space in your mind.

Once you're done with this activity, come back to this post and let me know what you learned in the comments down below.

How to deal with ‘not getting many likes’ on our videos

How to deal with ‘not getting many likes’ on our videos

It's a weird thing when you start creating videos for your business or your personal brand.

No one pays any attention. No one bothers to click on the "like" button, or to leave a comment or share your video.

And that's okay! When you first get started with creating videos, they're going to suck! It's not the end of the world. It's just the beginning of a new journey you are going on, and no one is great when they start something.

The good news is that you're starting. That you are putting yourself out there and you are starting to share your gift and your message with the world. As you create more, you're going to get better.

So the next time you create a video and no one "likes" it, don't let it get you down. It's not the end of the world.

A weird thing will happen if you continue creating. People will start to pay attention. They'll see that you didn't just create 3-4 videos and quit. You'll have hundreds of videos that you are sharing your message with the world. You're going to get pretty good at it when you get to this stage. 

But you've gotta get through the awkward beginning stage that is right now in order to get there.

Keep creating. I'm rooting for you.

Is it still worth it to pay for fans on Facebook?

Is it still worth it to pay for fans on Facebook?

In today's podcast I talk about whether or not I feel it's worth it to pay for "Page Likes" over on Facebook.

In my personal opinion, yes. You can acquire 10,000 fans for $1,000 if you are getting fans for $0.10 a piece. As long as you take the time to provide valuable information to your fans, and you are targeting people in your buyer demographics, it makes sense.

I do not recommend just getting fans for the sake of having them though. You want to make sure that the people you are targeting in your ads are people who could become leads or customers for your business.

Otherwise you'll just have a bunch of people who aren't qualified to buy your product or service.

Learn to Take Breaks When You're Overwhelmed... Just DON'T QUIT!

So we all get to a point in our business and life where we become overwhelmed.

At this point it's important to remember not to quit. Things are only hard for a little while and will get better. That's why it's so important to take breaks periodically from your work.

Otherwise you'll get super overwhelmed and will experience burnout.

Who should you be creating content for?

Who should you be creating content for?

Who are you creating content for? http://WhosChrisHughes.com  

Ever thought about the content you create and how you can make it better?   It all starts with knowing your audience and knowing what would benefit them. One thing to keep in mind is that you had to go through a rough patch to get to where you are at right now, and so do they.  If you can think back over the last 3-4 years, what did you go through?  

Joseph Campbell calls this the "Hero's Journey" but you don't need to know that.   In its simplest form, you have overcome some obstacles to get to where you are right now. If you aren't happy with where you're at right now, don't worry you still are on your journey.   

Can you think back to a few months ago when you were learning something? Something that you might have gotten on YouTube to watch a tutorial on?   What you learned can be a video for you. I know, you might be thinking that someone already did a video on that, so why should you.  

Well, people want to hear your voice. They want to hear and see your story. 

If you aren't taking the time to tell your story (through video) you are missing out.   There is no better time to be alive when it comes to content creation. You can pull out your cell phone and start creating right now. 

You can start building your audience right now.  It all begins with the decision to . You don't need anyones approval or anything. Just start.
