Document as you go along

[Andy Black]

I was just asked this:

I'm so curious about how you structure your time. You put that thought in my head about the sawmill (and the paid newsletter which i can't really shake btw). I love the idea and am executing it in two groups at the moment.

I see you do it daily. I see your high 'output level'. I don't really see you hurrying in your responses (a pitfall i fell into, which reduces the quality tremendously).

How do you structure your week/your day. How do you combine it with your client work, non-working hours, and stuff? Would love to hear your thoughts on that.


Here was the first part of my reply. I'll come back and add more later.

Yes, don't reply too soon and end up getting dragged into a tit-for-tat message conversation. Slow it down and make it more like an email conversation.



I created this thread a while back:

• Time-blocking my week

It's NOT that neat! Haha. And that was before the Coronavirus and the kids ended up staying home.


Yes, I have high output, because I document as I go along.


AN EXAMPLE FROM THIS MORNING:

1) I checked one of my projects this morning, had a think about it, took some action, then wrote it up for my team in Basecamp:

2) I then posted it to one of my progress threads:

• EXECUTION - Growing an email list with Google Ads

3) I then immediately posted to my paid email newsletter which is like a curated version of all the content I drop in the forum and elsewhere:

I'm literally going to create a new thread in the forum out of this reply.

See what I do?
