I’m a SUCKER for regency romance novels.
But, I virtually NEVER READ… I listen ;).
And I can power through a regency romance audio novel in 3-4 days.
Once I fall down that rabbit hole, then I kinda start craving it… when can I listen to the next chapter?
We all have our quirky pleasures right?
And they’re SO GOOD FOR YOU.
They activate all the pleasure centers in your brain, and that makes you happy.
I have another pleasure – tech.
Yep, I’m a techie geek, for sure.
Yep, I’m a techie geek, for sure.
I can get lost down the tech rabbit holes as quickly and easily as I get lost down the Regency Romance ones.
And then I sometimes convince myself that it’s okay.
It’s tech. It’s important for my business. It’s work. It’s productive.
Right? Wrong.
Right? Wrong.
Maybe you yourself are a tech-lover, and you can spend hours lost down those tech rabbit holes.
Or maybe tech scares the crap out of you, so you spend hours banging your head against it … determined to figure it out.
Maybe you’re telling yourself the same stories: “I’m being productive. I’m working on my business.”
Here’s the problem with that story:
Are you clear about the problem you’re trying to solve in your business?
Then, the tech rabbit hole is a productive and worthwhile place to be for a while.
BUT, if you don’t know the problem and you’re simply diving into a tech rabbit hole, nose first….well, then we have a problem, Freedom-Lover.
“Houston, we have a problem.”
In this week’s Insights video we’re exploring when it’s okay to fall down the tech rabbit hole, and the dangers we face when it’s really … not okay.
In this video, you’ll learn:
- 1:20 – Before you research what you need, make sure you’ve done this!
- 3:05 – Do you REALLY need that fancy/exciting/cool thing? Here’s the question you should you ask yourself before you complicate your world.
- 4:14 – The advice I’m asked about most when it comes to tech tools.
- 4:53 – Shiny isn’t always better.
- 6:50 – Time to ask yourself this important question (AKA time to get honest!)
- 7:57 – How you can get unstuck and moving again.
It’s time to focus, and define your business, so you can get productive and get moving.
Warmly,
Erin
