Warning: This exercise requires very little (if any) effort on your part. But, will increase your productivity by 300%

Before writing anything, a blog post, sales messages, articles, even a letter to your mother, you need to prepare your subconscious mind first. Once you actually do this exercise you will see an increase in your writing productivity. Instantly.

Here is what I do: After I have finished all of my research and preparing to sit down at the keyboard to begin writing…

I will take all of my hand written notes, research articles, sales copy, the important stuff and spend 30 minutes to an hour pouring over my work. Change nothing. Just read.

Once you are satisfied that you know your material the next step is to find a comfortable soft place to relax. No distractions. If this is impossible do this before going to bed. The main idea is to get relaxed before getting down to business.

As you relax, begin reflecting on your writing assignment. Re-reading your research work and adding it to your assignment. Focus on the finished work while asking your self some questions.

1. If I was the prospect what would be the biggest benefit?

2. What makes this product or service so damn exciting?

3. If this was a commercial what would the catch phrase be?

Then relax even more. Forget about your writing assignment. Just enjoy the quite time.

When doing this during the day and you can’t rest and get quite, don’t worry about it. Get away from your computer and do some chores. Do whatever you can to distract your self from writing or doing any creative activity.

Then, when you feel the urge get to it.

You’ll find that the words will begin to flow from your brain to that blank canvas that most writers dread to look at. With a little bit of practice your productivity will increase by as much or more than 300%.

Test this out yourself. Go ahead, give it a shot.
