Switching You Off - It's Nothing Personal

Switching You Off - It's Nothing Personal

Hi WA Friends !

I'm going to switch you off for a while. This is nothing personal. Simply it is the fact that I am getting overwhelmed with the amount of notifications I'm getting.

Every day I receive more than 30 emails from WA and feel compelled to read each and every one of them for fear of missing something. However, I find that I'm reading a lot of information that I know nothing of and haven't covered yet in my training so far. Whilst I understand that knowledge is power I need to construct my learning process by mastering the basics first and then broadening my knowledge. I can't just absorb everything and it is causing me a lot of frustration and actually derailing me somewhat.

I need to worry about following the training, building my website then worry about all the other stuff. I find that when I'm overwhelmed I become the worlds biggest procrastinator as I'm always trying to decide what to do for the best. Of course I want to have a great website that brings in a lot of traffic, I want to monetize it in the best way possible but I need to wait. I need to keep things simple and build gradually and I don't feel I can do that with constant this constant distraction.

I hope this will also free up some of my time to really focus on content production which is something I'm neglecting, only managing 1 post per week which is not enough in these early days.

As I said, nothing personal but I really need to focus.

Take care.

Cheers,

Paul
