I just played a song I used to listen to when I was 20 years old, called “Big Calm” by Morcheeba, and every time I hear it, it sends shivers down my spine.
Not only does it ignite a massive creativity spike in my mind, but it also inspires most of my designs. It’s something every creative person is looking for…. that spark source that gives them a creative edge.
And I’m glad, we’ve got specific music that can do that…
Anyway, here’s the challenge:
Write an entire email in less time than the length of the song.
Can I write the entire email in such a short timeframe?
Can I offer you a quick tip in two minutes or less?
The answer is yes.
Why would I want to do that?
Because there’s something magical about being forced to write in fast bursts like that.
It compels you to write without editing, which is crucial for allowing your mind to generate ideas you otherwise wouldn’t.
It allows for a natural flow.
And guess what?
Play the song five times, and in about ten minutes, you’ll have five emails written down that could cover about five days worth of content.
Listen, it doesn’t have to be emails… it could be social media posts, replying to comments, or jotting down all the tasks you’re supposed to do for the day.
Whatever it is, what I’m trying to tell you is this…
Write in fast bursts and see how much you can accomplish in such a short period.
Compared to someone who needs ten minutes to warm up, you can be miles ahead.
Try it.
It works like magic.
P.S. Yes, you guessed it right. This quick tip was inspired and written using this challenge.
