Overwhelmed!

[Peter]

I've been reading like a madman in an effort to get things going. I was especially jazzed about the everloss launch! However, I think I've overdone it. Everything is a jumbled mess in my head and I have a perma-migraine. I can't seem to put everything together and my head is just swimming! I pwned mehself! Medic!

"Remember that scene from Scanners...?"

Write it down. Make a plan. Do everything in order of importance and don't forget to factor in time management. lol It's cool to get overwhelmed at launch time; imagine life in Norb's shoes. It'll be ok, remember to breathe!

Ye, write a plan and start it basic, as in don't start off doing like 100 articles 20 squidoo lens etc. etc. just start with the basics and build it from there. (thats if you're doing bum marketing)

We all struggle with this and it's all about how well you can manage your time. Before I go to sleep for the night, I write down everything that needs to get done. Pen on paper and not some word doc. Why? I find that typing stuff out in a word doc. tends to get lost in the files or folders. Having a paper sitting on top of your keyboard, helps you remember . As I finish goals for the day (yes, they're goals) I cross them out. This keeps me motivated and ultimately shows me the way to success.

Focus on one niche at a time. Then you can expand out to multiple niches at a single time, but I still don't recommend this. Never lack quality.

Cheers mate,

Thanks for the support! The primary reason for the cram session is that I just started this whole thing up a few days ago and I want to be online and prepared for the everloss unveiling. I also have a wife that keeps seeing added expenses that she wasn't expecting. She is supportive, but she too is excited and wants to see something up as well.

Well, back to work! Heh.

Thanks again!

Wow! ...this sounds very familiar!

What I try to do at the beginning is...

On printer paper take five sheet and hand write a heading at the top of each one for the major elements of any project. Under each heading I write ALL of the individual task relating to that element. I then organize them 1 thru 5 (or however many pages I have).

Then, start at page 1, go as far as you can until you reach a road block... then go on to page 2 and go as far as you can until you can't go any further there. At this point, go back to page 1 and go as far as you can again... then check on page 2 again and if you still can't make headway there, on to page 3 you go. Continue this method and you will "methodically" work your way thru the project. When you get about 60-70% thru your task, you'll be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel (and no, it's not a train coming at you) and focus on the remaining task to "finish".

No matter what I do, I do all I can to make it FUN not W O R K ! I make it fun by focusing on the fact that I have a map and if I follow it, HOPEFULLY, there's a huge pot of gold at the end of the tunnel just for my hard work! Did I mention that "gold" is the only single color that I like better than "green"?

My problem... is making myself do the list in the first place... I find myself making the list about 25% into it and having to back track what I've done and most importantly... what I missed.

I TRY to live by...

PLAN THE WORK... WORK THE PLAN!

That little saying alsways works for me... (when I follow it) ! I'm sure your doing fine... just a little toast! ( You probably need REST! )

Good luck!

Don't spend too much time planning and thinking and reading and not actually doing.

Sometimes it's best to just jump in with both feet and have a go at it.

Good luck.

[Peter]

Really looking forward to it. I plan to go into overdrive to gets thing ready for this opportunity, sleep and mental state be damned!

The everloss materials are looking fantastic and very professional. You do some damn fine work FrenchToast!

lol I'm sorry I'm sorryyyyy. I've taken my beating...now let me get you some nice comfy flats.

when you are feeling overwhelmed like that...then it's time for a breather. It really is. Take the time to play - guilt-free! Even if it's only for a couple of hours. I find that is the single best thing to do because when you get back to work, you feel refreshed. Some people do physical activity, like going for a nature walk, etc. Do whatever you want to do that isn't work related.

Then once you get back to work, like everyone else posted, put a plan together. Take it one step at a time, it's not a race, and remember, there's enough prosperity for everyone

to your success!

Well, like it or not, life forced me into a break this entire last weekend. While the circumstances of the break were not good at all, I think it did help a bit. On the downside, I'm not prepared for the everLoss release yet.
