Learning to work in the middle of chaos takes practice.
I get it: it feels like we never have any time to get anything done with our world today.
That’s why these handy smartphones come in handy.
Using apps like Evernote or even the notes app on your phone allows you to write, take notes, plan out content, and map out ideas from anywhere in your day.
You can jot down a few lines, close the app, and then finish a few hours later.
Example 1: I wrote this article and have done most of my social media content that way all week!
When I say that I maybe spend an hour a day making all my content, courses, marketing and emails, I mean it! It's just spread out across 5-10 minutes here and there.
Example 2: This article took me 5 minutes to write.
You CAN train yourself to connect, communicate, write, and build your business with that much speed and clarity.
When we do so by finding peace amid chaos and being confident to express ourselves without reservations, without worry or fear, without wondering if we said things the right way, things flow for us!
The number one practice that helped me do this was daily journaling in the morning. I would write down everything that came to mind, even if none of it made sense or formed coherent sentences.
Over time doing that, I got a lot clearer with my writing and now do most all my writing during my day from my phone when inspiration strikes, just a few minutes!
I document my video content, my written content, emails, graphics, all that.
It doesn't have to take you all day, and your content does not have to be perfect.
You need to express yourself clearly, with confidence, and without reservations or holding anything back!
Try it out. This week grab your phone and start typing…
Or sit down at your computer…
Or write on a notepad…
Get your thoughts down, then come back to them a few hours later to put it all together.
You might be surprised how easy it is to write and come up with ideas for content.
Don't know what to make content or write about? Try these three things:
Document your process for things you do to share your methods.
Give your spin on topics you share and care about.
Share what's on your heart.
Over time as you do this consistently, your ability to manage your business and content creation will accelerate like crazy, and you'll be able to create content effortlessly.
What would happen if you effortlessly made content every day in less than an hour a day for your business growth? It's possible!
Bonus round:
Did you know that you can build your entire business on a smartphone these days? You don't even need a computer if you don't want one (except for maybe making changes to your website, but that about it really, and most tablets can do that as well with sites like Squarespace or Kajabi (which happen to be my favorite site, membership and landing page builders).
There are no limits to what’s possible regarding schedule, availability, creativity, and focus, except what we allow ourselves to do.
Focus on learning what you don't know and growing in skills.
It’s possible to grow in this skill, but you have to be intentional with it.
There will never come a day that everything is “ordered” and “peaceful” enough around you to start building your business, so you have to learn to work within the chaos instead of waiting for it to stop.
What’s one skill you wish you had more of after reading this article?
