I reactivated my Instagram account 4 days ago. I havenāt posted anything yet.
Who even am I?
Iāve wanted to post things. A lot of things, in fact. I have ideas for posts. Iāve even been āinspired.ā
But I said I wasnāt going to post anything on Instagram on any given day until I sent my email.
And if you havenāt noticed, my emails have been going out late ā at the end of my work day.
Something cool happened on Monday. An huge opportunity presented itself. Itās what prompted this move back to California.
I started packing that night, and itās taken me a few days to get everything done.
So Iāve been distracted with less time to focus on my work.
Instagram posts are easy for me. Writing these emails is more difficult.
I have considered breaking my commitment. Whatās the worst that can happen?
āMaybe if I just post something on IG, itāll give me an idea for an email,ā I tell myself.
But god dammit, I said I wouldnāt do that.
I created this policy for myself ā to stay off of IG until I get my email done.
I made this plan based on evidence of how things have gone for me in the past. I lost days dealing with comments, consumed by conversations that were doing nothing to build my business.
I need the discipline to stick with this new plan long enough to evaluate whether or not itās going to get me where I want to go.
If I bail and go back to doing things the way I used to do them, Iāll get the same damn results I got before.
I left Chicago last night with two suitcases.
Iām in San Diego now and getting back into the swing of things.
So, now that Iāve sent my email, Iām going to get active on Instagram today.Ā
Iāll start with an AMA ā for email subscribers only.
Youāre invited.
I'm going to make a rule for myself, I can't go on instagram until I have worked on a new skill for my looping (for now it shall be beatboxing).
