Do you take the fact that you come up with great ideas on a frequent basis and turn them into wonderful copy (articles, books or other writing work) for granted? Or maybe you have amazing organisational skills but, because it comes easily to you, you dismiss them as something anyone could do?
What about the things you struggle with? Do you over rate the skills needed to balance your accounts or to pick up the phone for that tricky conversation?
The more time you can spend on doing the things that you do best, the better you’ll get at doing them.
You’ll also be constantly re-energising yourself by doing something you love. But if you let all the niggly chores that you hate overtake your schedule, you’ll have no energy or time left for your writing work.
This isn’t to say that you should neglect all the things that don’t come so naturally. But identifying what needs to be done doesn’t mean you have to do everything. List all the jobs you hate doing and think about other ways you could get them done. Would hiring a virtual PA help? Or maybe you could trade services with another small business (your writing skills for their accounting, perhaps)?
Use your creativity to bring more energy into your writing business and you’ll find you have more time to relax, too…
