How to Crush Writing Goals #LikeABoss

You’re less likely to write and publish new content consistently when writing feels stressful and overwhelming.

Here is a quick way to banish feeling stressed and overwhelmed to crush your writing goals:

Step 1:

Start your day with grace. Take a deep breath and remember to be grateful for the good in your life.

Step 2:

Use positive self-affirmations to get pumped and focused on crushing your writing goals.

A self-affirmation is a declaration, oath, or contract of intention with yourself.

Positive self-affirmations, or “belief beacons,” create positive focal points that influence and guide our inner dialogue to help us overcome obstacles.

Step 3:

List your top #3 writing project goals in order of importance. 

Example:

• Write a blog post
• Write social post captions
• Write landing page sales copy

Now, pick one writing project and concentrate on 2-3 tasks required to get it done.

For the above example, “Write a blog post,” here are three tasks you could focus on:

1. Choose a topic to write about
2. Outline key talking points
3. Source compelling images or graphics

Next, create a firm deadline to crush your writing project goal.

Then, on your calendar, allocate a 2-3 hour time block to complete task #1.

Last, envision 2-3 big-picture positive outcomes of you crushing your writing goals. 

💡Pro Tip: An easy way to focus on big-picture positive outcomes is to focus on your compelling “why” and ask yourself, “What is the best thing that will happen as a result of me crushing my writing goals?” 

For example, think, “Writing and sharing my blog post will…”

• Deliver value that inspires others.
• Help me feel successful and accomplished.
• Encourage and incite positive change.

Your compelling “why” may also include writing and sharing to: 

• educate with step-by-step or how-to instruction
• entertain
• motivate & empower
• help others with a valuable service or product

With the above quick tip, you can rinse + reset + repeat as often as you need to crush your writing goals.
