We are constantly talking about being more creative, being more productive, planning and managing our time. But do we know how important it is to relax and take a break from work?

In this episode, I am talking about the importance of relaxation and how to take a break from the daily routine and leave your body and brain to recover.

The continuous exposure to stress may lead to problems such as headache, stomach problems, high blood pressure and even more serious problems such as heart disease and stroke. So taking a break to relax and have some fun is a crucial part of your life. Going out with friends or walking in the park are just some of the ways you can relax and refill with energy. Listen to the episode to learn more about relaxation and its importance.

Marketing is a very hard work. Especially for someone who is afraid even to call her/himself "a writer". So in today's episode I am talking about when you have to start market yourself as a writer.

Of course, it all depends on your goals. It's not the same whether you want to write just for fun or you plan to sell your books. If the latter is the case then maybe you have to start thinking about marketing yourself as a writer sooner than you have expected.

It takes a lot of time to gather the visibility you will need to market your books. It takes a lot of time to gather followers and subscribers. That's why I am sharing with you my understanding of when you should start market yourself as a writer and to call yourself a writer.

Join me today to learn how can you get the most out of Camp NaNoWriMo as an authorpreneur.

With less than fifteen days left until the first for this year Camp NaNo starts, it's good to do a little planning and start thinking about your authorpreneur life. Building an authorpreneur brand and lifestyle is not an easy task. So you might find useful these ideas.

Of course, not all of the ideas that I am sharing with you are connected with money. You can use Camp NaNo just to create your own writing community or to grow your followrs on Instagram. I will be very happy if you share after that whether you have done any of these.

If you want to talk about this, go to my website, find the episode post and leave me a comment there. You can also help others by sharing your own ideas and suggestions on how to use April Camp and start building our dreamed life.
