Based on my own patterns, I can make it quite clear that freelance copywriters enter a bloodbath of distractions.
Escapism on full throttle.
Before my feet hit the floor, I reach over to grab my digital newspaper and feed my eyeballs with tasty drama, stocks, supply chain shortage articles, and more drama.
It’s no different than eating Oreos for breakfast.
Sweet dopamine and distract myself from the real problem.
The next thing I know, I’m scrambling to get sh*t done. I can hear my mother’s voice in my head saying, “Why do you wait until the last minute?”
Gosh. I guess I need a distraction adjustment.
Escapism and freedom is a spicy land for a barefoot copywriter.
Watch your step and get into a door of success.
It starts by looking at yourself and saying, “Dammit! I’m a copywriter! Not a coder, designer, or Mailchimp email tech guy.”
If you are a freelance copywriter and things are looking like you are next on the chopping block, I suggest subtraction RIGHT NOW!
When you do too much it leads to overload.
Before you know it you’ll be losing your hair, get an ulcer, and start becoming the number one asshole in your house.
Get clear.
Do everything in your power to subtract the pesky tasks, emails, apps, dings, and conversations in your work.
It’s time to start getting the cash.
Don’t put it off!
Slice the fat!
