Personal Development For Distracted People

  I've been getting a lot of satisfaction from writing blog posts, and some other bits of writing, in 10 minutes flat. But can I apply the same strategy to finishing old jobs off? I have loads of things I've started and parked until I have time to finish them off properly. What if I could get them done in 10 minutes? With what I have learned from writing new pieces in 10 minutes I think the trick is to focus on first getting the job in a state where finishing it is possible, and then giving it total concentration until its done. But I need a get out clause here. Some things simply can't be done in ten minutes. So one acceptable outcome is - this is going to take longer than it is worth. Drop it now forever. Another is, this is worth spending more time on. In either case I need to get to the stage of actually dropping it - i.e., delete previous work and forget forever. Or I need to leave it so I can get closer to a ten minute finish than before.

I’ve been trying to improve the appearance of my blogs recently. To that end, I investigated Elementor. it wasn’t too difficult to set it up with my least important blog. It wasn’t a walk in the park exactly, but with the help of a few YouTube videos I was able to get a much better looking set up than I had before. And it offered the prospect of more improvement to come. I did find that a very rapidly reached the stage where I needed to upgrade to the pro version.

I like to linger on my writing. I enjoy leaving it, coming back to it, and editing it. Then re-editing it. The less pressing the writing is, the more leisurely my approach. The writing that is least important to me, and judging by my stats to everyone else as well, is my blogging. As a consequence, I produce very few blog posts, and what I do produce often stays in draft form for quite a long time. Often indefinitely.
