Happy Wednesday!

The sun is shining, the windows are open, and Shaun went back to work this morning. I’m not sure if that was a good thing… he still looked pretty sick to me, but insisted he was fine to go and that he couldn’t miss any more time. And after two days of worrying about him and not sleeping very well, I just want to crawl under a blanket and sleep the day away.

I was going to have something new for you tomorrow but have decided to push it back to next Wednesday so that I can tell you about it during the Digital Papers Workshop that was part of my bundle.

So, for now I’ll just tell you about all the new goodies being released this week.

But first, here’s today’s read…

Today’s Read: 5 Ways Action Habits Help Ditch Procrastination

 Way back when, in the time before I discovered the concept of action habits, I used to call myself the “queen of procrastination” and I was pretty proud of the fact that I could put things off with the best, and then work like heck around the clock to get things done on time.

Once I finally figured out that I couldn’t do that anymore – yes, a heart attack or two is a pretty good indication that it doesn’t work – I started looking for ways to develop action habits that help me ditch procrastination once and for all.

Here are 5 action habits that I’ve found to work for me…

Habit #1 – Live By Your Planner!

Right about the time I had some major surgery a few years ago (long after the heart attack), I also discovered bullet journaling. I’d always loved to write and hated planners that didn’t have enough space for what I wanted to record in a day.

Once I found I could create my own planner layout that had enough space for everything I wanted to do in a day, I was off to the races. And I learned to put everything in the calendar – from appointments, to project deadlines, to reminders to do the dishes or wash my hair. You might think those last two are a little strange, but I’ve learned that for myself, if it’s not on the to-do list, it doesn’t get done.

Three Things I’m Excited About Today…

Thing 1 – From Burnout to Bliss from Coach Glue (Plus Bonus)

If you’ve been around here for any length of time, you might remember that after doing about 14 events in six months, by the end of 2020 I was so burnt out I didn’t even want to be in business anymore. And I spent a lot of the first part of 2021 trying different strategies to fall back in love with my business.

Today I chanced on a couple of things – well, actually, I stopped and read a few emails this morning – and came across two things. The first one was an article on the Convert Kit blog titled:

Re-structure your money mindset to help you scale your business and reduce burnout

And the second thing was a new workshop from Coach Glue called From Burnout to Bliss: How to Fall in Love with Your Business Again!

How’s that for serendipity!

This DFY workshop helps you help your audience recover from burnout, re-build and love their businesses and life again. The content covers:

• Lesson 1: Define Your Dreamiest Ideal Clients (And Ditch the Nightmare Clients For Good)
• Lesson 2: Build Precious Balance into Your Biz with Sexy, Streamlined Offers
• Lesson 3: Automate & Systematize Your Coaching Process for (Way More) Ease & Flow
• Lesson 4: Implement Firm-but-Flexible Boundaries & Experience Incredible Work/Life Balance

I’m looking forward to diving into this myself and learning some strategies for when I start feeling burnt out again. It’s on sale for $97 (you save $200) through Thursday, May 5 when you use promo code 97.

Bonus Offer: And of course I have a bonus for you – 2 of them, in fact. Email your receipt to me at ritchiemedia@gmail.com and put BONUS CLAIM in the subject and I will send you the link to choose your bonuses.

Thing 2 – Price Rollback for the Kitchen Sink Plus (Plus Bonus)

Always one to go against the mainstream, why should Melody be any different this time? When everyone else is raising prices and trying to keep up with inflation, she’s rolled the price of the Kitchen Sink Plus membership back to only $27 a month. For that you get:

• All Products will ONLY be available through the Membership – these will never be sold anywhere else!!
• A New Limited Edition Digital Planner
• A New Limited Edition Printable Planner
• A New Limited Edition Lead Magnet
• A Layered PSD File to create your own covers (at least 10 Layers)
• PNG versions of the layers for use on Canva!
• Done-for-You Covers
• Monthly LIVE Workshop
• Surprise additions every month to complement that month’s planners!

Bonus Offer: My bonus for this is a set of new digital papers that complement the month’s planners and backgrounds. I’m a little behind on getting these done, but they will be added to your members area as I get them finished. You will have them all by the time May’s content is ready. (It’s a definite sign of burnout and exhaustion when I don’t even have the energy to make papers, because as you probably know… making digital papers is my happy place!)

Thing 3 – A Live Repurposing Workshop For You (Plus Bonus)

The third thing I’m excited about is this live content repurposing workshop…. And no, it’s not by me!

My friend Jennifer Burke is a content repurposing queen and there are days when I wish she’d get out of my head! The headline for her latest live workshop goes like this…

Are You Tired of the Hamster Wheel of Content Creation?

And if you were on the recent Printable Publishers Round Tables, you’ll know that getting off the hamster wheel and stopping the burnout are what I’m all about this year!

So I was really excited to see that for two days next week – May 10 and 11 – Jennifer is offering a Content Repurposing Mojo live workshop!

Jennifer walks her talk, and in these two live sessions she’s going to show you what she has learned about content repurposing and how to successfully make it a consistent, planned part of your business.

Check it out here and use coupon code REUSE30 to save $30 at checkout.

Bonus Offer: This product qualifies for a bonus. Email your receipt to me at ritchiemedia@gmail.com and put BONUS CLAIM in the subject and I will send you the link to choose your bonus.
