The most underrated type of work
Leo Moore
July 01, 2024
One of the many traps you can fall into as an internet business owner is what I like to call ‘redlining.’
This is when you are operating above your current work capacity for so long that you eventually fry your brain.
You know when you’re at your desk all day but then you just get nothing done?
And you feel like you’re working harder but your business isn’t growing?
From what I have found, there are usually a few causes of this.
Neglecting health
Poor planning (doing the wrong stuff)
Avoiding some work you know you need to do
Coping / lying to yourself
Task switching/trying to do too many things at once
When you feel like you are ‘redlining’ the best thing to do is meditate (like I mention in this IG short).
Because the truth is, when you aren’t getting anything done and you’re just burning the candle at both ends, the best thing you can do is take a step back from your desk, get yourself calmed down, and then make a better plan moving forward.
It is the most underrated type of work:
Thinking.
From my experience, when you just can’t focus, your time is better spent getting your focus back:
Meditating
Gym
Walk
Because you can either sit at your desk pretending to work for the next few hours, or you can spend 20-30 minutes doing something completely irrelevant, make a plan and then get back on track.
If you struggle with planning what to do, then you should see if you’re a fit for 1000x Leads.
This is exactly what we help with.
It doesn’t make sense for everyone, but for the businesses we take on, they get an exact plan of what to do every day to generate and systematically convert leads.
