3.05 Client Q&A – getting it done when you don’t feel like it


Listen Later

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!

If you struggle to get stuff done when you don’t feel like working, this episode is for you! I’m answering three questions from my listeners:

  • Q1 How do I go from rough notes to writing sentences?
  • Q2 How do I edit when I’m scared I’ll realise it’s rubbish? 
  • Q3 How do I get stuff done when I feel unmotivated? 

I’ll tell you all the ways this is totally normal AND what you can do about it! 

BTW Do you ever have questions that you’d love to have answered by someone understanding and knowledgeable? Drop questions in the comments and I’ll answer them in a future episode!
