MODULE PLANNING YOUR "Doing" time LESSON 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 will drag this process out over weeks, months and possibly years! And we don’t want that to happen! 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 2 2 BE ANTI-SOCIAL 3 2 SET PRODUCTION TARGETS 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 focussing 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. 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. 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, quizes). www.thedoersway.net/production-schedule 4 2 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!
