Productivity Crisis and I figured it out! Live with Doug Cunnington of Niche Site Project #Best Education Page #Online Earning

hey what's up stuff Huntington here and

I'm going live and hopefully in a second

I'll be able to confirm that I could

hear myself over here and today I'm

going to talk about this small

productivity crisis that was sort of

stressing me out for a couple days and

going live and I realized it I think in

like yesterday so when I'm a short hike

yesterday which actually I live streamed

from like the destination up there where

I was at hey Dennis and uh

welcomewelcome

doing doing pretty good here it goes

hopefully gonna do a very short update

today quick little live stream and then

head out but I definitely was getting a

little stressed out over the last couple

days and it wasn't it wasn't really sure

why I've been I mention it for people

that that watch these live streams

occasionally people like Dennis Dave

Nick people like that tejana

I've been taking the afternoons off

in like this week in great part so

really busy in the morning take the

afternoons off try and go to the gym

yesterday I went on a hike but I was

like sort of stressed out and and it was

I don't know kind of wore me out so

here's what was happening there are

there's old like we all have like

ongoing projects and little things that

were working on I'm trying to do fewer

and fewer projects that actually turns

out to really help your your stress

there they Nick what's up and Sean

thanks for joining up so the fewer

things you're working on

well that that usually helps you you

think you want to do more stuff and like

increase your productivity but really

like the less you do that's that reduces

the stress so I had like a couple like

ongoing

little projects and I'll I'll mention

some of them so like I have several

YouTube videos some of them I shot and

they were screenflow's some of them were

live streams and others were just you

know general topics there's a lot of

there's a lot of even like webinars and

live trainings that I publish on YouTube

and there's some value in having a

description in YouTube so I hired

someone to help me like summarize and

transcribe portions of it really to just

get the ideas across not really to

transcribe the whole full the video so I

had these are completed right so it took

weeks for this to work to be done and I

have a lot of those documents just

sitting in my Google Drive and see how

the air from me

what's up so basically I have them

sitting there and I know they're there

all I need to do is like copy and paste

and do a light edit for almost all of

these there's you know some 20 plus

videos I don't even know how many there

are right I just don't have a bunch a

big pile of stuff that I need to work

through

and technically each one would probably

take me like under five minutes to do

but I have the pile sitting there

another portion of it is I have these

YouTube videos that do have descriptions

already and I hired someone to help me

basically write like short like very

short under 400 word blog post just so I

could like publish those post unhitched

I project so it's very interesting

there's a set of people like you find

people here that watch on YouTube

primarily video consumers and don't

necessarily read the blog there's a

bunch of blog people that don't watch

any of the videos so there's some

opportunity obviously there's overlap

with some people but a lot of people are

one or the other depending on how they

consume content maybe they're at work

and they can't watch YouTube but they

could be

blocks or something like that so I know

there's value in public cross publishing

and making sure that you know I have a

bunch of videos where I have like

natural traffic on my site and people

can watch stuff comment and consider the

content on my site on the platform there

versus on YouTube so I have several of

those sitting there also additionally

there's just some work that I need to do

on like a few of my niche sites again

each of the tasks really only takes a

few minutes to complete less than five

minutes for each one of those to be done

but because I have like a big pile of

stuff like I'm not I'm not touching it

and I just know that every day when I

wake up like oh I should get to that

stuff but I have a bunch of calls that

I'm trying to work on and talking to

students and then there's a few things

that I have to do to keep up with the

email next thing I know I'm trying to

stop my my day like noon or 1:00 or so

like it's past noon right now but I'm

still sitting here and I'm not at the

gym the point is I figured out there

were these like partially done things

then right so here's the part of the

stressed me out because I was walking up

to the a.m. yesterday afternoon it was

like you know wasn't listening to any

music or podcasts or anything I was just

walking like being in nature and stuff

which I enjoy

so was walking and then it occurred to

me there were several other things that

I wanted to get started on like shooting

more YouTube videos that are basically I

want to get my videos placed in like

suggested in the suggestion like videos

section for other people's videos so

there's a lot of strategy behind that

there blog posts that I want to write

there are things that I want to write

just in general

I'm thinking about starting those new

things but then it occurred to me I

don't want to add more to my pile I need

a complete thing so if I can complete

you know adding the descriptions to the

YouTube videos that's not my plan I

stopped thinking

about it of course if I produce more

YouTube videos I'm just you know

creating that again but of course I can

add a system around it so it's not the

sort of manual process that I'm working

with now or is at least a little more

streamlined the other part is you know

again the blog post for the YouTube

videos can I mean that's a simple thing

for me to finish up go ahead and take

care of it in fact one of the viewers

tejana is the person just helping me

with that and we have an opportunity

there to you know just have her blog

directly on their site project draft up

something and then I can go and put in

my own words

after that so basically I'm talking

about not having unfinished projects in

the pile because that's really stressful

when there's too many things going on I

realize hey all I need to do is probably

spend about two hours working on all the

YouTube descriptions and then I'll be

done with that piece of work it's very

like a simple thing but I just realized

hey I should not start trying to do more

YouTube videos while I'm still trying to

catch up with the other stuff so I'm

sure like I've done that with niche

sites where I'm like there's a site

that's you know on the cusp of you know

getting traffic and really making some

money and then you know trying to start

a new site or two new sites or three new

sites or I know I need to do more you

know content for a stipend so I'm doing

keyword research for a future site where

you never catch up and you never finish

and like having things incomplete

everyone's different but for me having

stuff that's incomplete sucks so anyway

I basically figured out I just need to

catch up after the launch after you know

all the students are like on point

things are working I know at that point

this is a good time to do some of this

ketchup busy work and then in probably

the middle of next week I hope maybe I

should hold myself to that give everyone

an update the middle of

next week maybe by end of day Wednesday

I should have most of that stuff

completes far fewer meetings yesterday

or next week and if I just like town

that out

maybe wake up early a couple days

that'll be awesome so okay so a couple

questions

brittany asks do i use any project

management tools not really to be honest

with you I don't even though I'm a

project manager I don't most of the time

that stuff is overkill for like what I'm

trying to do I will mention that like

when I'm going through the lunch I have

like a big checklist more or less of

what I need to go through but I also say

a lot of it is kind of internalized so

you know made mistakes like putting the

incorrect date in emails and stuff like

dumb mistake forgot to do it it's in the

list the list is you know dozens of

items long very very thorough and you

know each email is outlined and there

you know there are pieces in there that

are helpful I stored in a Trello board

and I could just I have a template so I

could just copy it over to another list

and then check check it off but I mean

my primary like project management tool

is a spreadsheet my simpler is better

okay Deb said if you if you have a big

team I think asana is a great tool for

using or to use for like really pure

sort of project management but depending

on what you're doing if you're if you're

doing like I guess like a Kanban type

layout then Trello is you know the

obvious solution for that okay Dennis

says I use a master task list that is a

living document each week you write the

tasks for the week on the whiteboard

that's perfect that that works really

well we need to ask how old are you I am

38 Dennis says next month is going to be

crazy we'll be posting 50 our

calls for two different sites yeah

that's a ton of stuff going on and

Dennis with us a lot I I'm in a similar

boat maybe not that many you know what I

just had several dozen articles written

and they're being posted on one site but

I'm like ramping up another writing team

so I just hired two writers this week

I'm hiring another one

hopefully today and I'm hoping I can you

know beef up the content on particular

site I've referred to it in the last

couple months so we focused on one site

first we're almost done with that Lois

Ogden and I are almost done with that

particular site and the content and then

for a site that I have myself my own

site that's one where I'm like ramping

up the content production and I have a

an editor working on that she's very

fast she's she's really fast she knows

WordPress I'm paying her more than it

had been at the you know nine to ten

dollar rate but she heard a new

WordPress and she was a writer that was

good at editing so cool

so basically the tie everything in a bow

I had unlike the productivity issue I

had was I had unfinished work that I was

I knew was there each piece is like

simple to do so I knew I could let go

and you know try to get ahead but

because there was you know 50 items in

each one of these sections maybe not

that many but there were over 20 I was

like I don't want to start that because

I just I can't get the frame of mind and

it's the end of the day so I just I

wasn't working on it but I realized that

if I try to start something new without

finishing previously started projects it

was gonna kind of stress me out so once

I finished the other stuff up I'll

probably have a fresher frame of mind

there's fewer things on my plate and

I'll be able to hop in hopefully you

know do

writing like I'm talking about you know

published more YouTube videos and that

sort of thing

so before I jet any questions out there

I me another thing when I go to the gym

it's uh it's a good day to go to the gym

like to sit in the sauna it's very hot

in there under good days it's very hot

in there the other day I went in there

and they must have turned it off over

the weekend it was cooler and it was

like it was hotter in my car like on the

way to the gym because I was sitting out

in the Sun yeah Dennis's beer time yeah

it is nearly it's almost beer time it's

afternoon somewhere and I think we're

actually gonna head my wife and I are

probably gonna head up to local brewery

one I could actually walk - it's called

outlaw so get ahead there when she gets

off work later today it should be fun

and alright it looks like there are no

questions so thanks everyone for joining

today I hope you're productive and you

know you finish your projects so all

right cool have a good weekend and we'll

catch up Monday see ya
