TIME TO CREATE!
I cannot stress enough... how important it is to lock-in a production schedule so you can get
this baby out to the world!
Daily distractions, to-do’s and interruptions may (most likely will!) drag this process out over
weeks, months and possibly years! And we don’t want that to happen!
I completed my first course in 3 days because I was forced to... and if you plan correctly and
stick to a few fundamental rules, I truly believe you can create your entire course in less than
a week.
So... here are my non-negotiables.
1. SET A DATE IN YOUR DIARY
Lock in a date that you can have some silence and privacy. Creating your course requires
uninterrupted time and if you’re anything like me... working in solid blocks of time allows you
to get in the ‘zone’ and build momentum. I am a great believer of focusing on one task at a
time and believe multi-tasking is a myth! SO, lock yourself away and you will be amazed at
what you can achieve.
2. BE ANTI-SOCIAL
That’s right! Turn the phone on silent... resist the social media scrolls and be a little selfish!
Darl, you need to focus! And you deserve this time to put your heart and soul into this course
without distractions. Checking emails and messages will break your concentration... and more
often than not... tempt you to ‘just do something quickly’... which leads into the rest of the day
being lost in your regular daily tasks and routines.
3. SET PRODUCTION TARGETS
So, you’ve got 3 days? Let’s not waste them! Divide your tasks (write scripts & talking points,
film videos, edit videos, upload and embed videos) into the number of days you have set
aside... and be sure to allow time for any other resources that you want to create (eg. PDF
downloadables, quizzes).

4. BREATHE AND BE KIND
Your productivity will improve significantly if your mind and body are in the right place. Brew
your favourite tea... start the day with an early morning walk... get enough sleep each night!
Do whatever it takes to ensure you can feel physically well and mentally clear... then take a
deep breath and enjoy this incredible time of doing!
