If your work involves writing, you know how it feels when you become distracted, start procrastinating or in some other way lose focus on what youshould be doing.
You know that you need to keep writing and get the task completed, but for some reason your mind won’t cooperate.
And for every minute you’re not writing, you’re losing money.
These productivity challenges apply to people writing copy,web site content, blogs, white papers, business reports and other non-fiction.
Fortunately, following the The Football Formula - Your Inside Track to Punting Riches I describe in Writing Rituals, you can turn things aroundvery quickly, and achievea dramatic increase in your productivity.
So what’s happening? Why can’t we just knuckle down and do our work?
That’s a good question.
The key is to understand that all those distractions are symptoms of other problems we have with our work and work environment.
We open the door to distractions only when we fail to prepare for and execute each writing task in a clear, uncluttered and structured way.
That’s what the 5 Rituals are all about. They will help you stay focused on your work and dramatically increase your productivity and, of course, your income.
“Just finished inhaling “Writing Rituals” - outstanding insights into more profitable writing.”

Isn’t it enough simply to use a To-Do list or a Time-Management program?
No, it isn’t.
While to-do lists and time-management programs have a role to play, they don’t do enough to address the underlying problem.
And that problem is bad work habits.
We are used to the habits we have. We are comfortable with the way things are. We don’t want to change.
Under the influence of bad work habits,tools like to-do lists won’t make any difference at all. They just reinforce what you are already doing.
What you need to do is attack and dismantle underproductive work habits and rebuild from the ground up.
Only then, with new ways of working in place, will your to-do lists and time-management systems have a positive impact.

“I first used your Writing Rituals several months ago when I had a complicated video script to write. Using your system, I organized, got all my notes together, and put them in order. When I actually wrote the script, it flowed really quickly. The client loved it and hardly made any changes.
Then, I hate to admit it, I went back to my old ways, just diving into projects without systematically organizing. That may be okay for smaller projects, but not for larger ones. Recently, I had a project that was difficult and my mind was swirling and I got a headache. I was so frustrated. I took a break and while I was running some errands, I remembered your Writing Rituals. I returned, applied the system, and soon I had the project finished and finished well. Believe me, I won’t forget to use your system again! Thanks, Nick!”

A habit is a repetitive behaviour that we pick up for better or for worse. Some of our habits are good, others are bad. (And almost all of us have some bad work habits which urgently need addressing.)
A ritual is also a repetitive behaviour, but it is conscious and deliberate. And it has a deeper meaning.
Patting your pocket to make sure you have your wallet before leaving the house is a habit. So is scratching your nose when someone asks you a difficult question.
But laying out snacks before a sports game or movie on TV is a ritual. It is a deliberate, conscious action, marking a particular moment in time. It has a deeper meaning.
That’s what I want to achieve for you with these 5 Rituals.
I want you to be deliberate in how you approach and work on every new writing job you get.
Yes, if you apply each of the steps and repeat them until they become true rituals, you will undoubtedly see an increase in your ability to focus, write quickly and avoid distractions.
Try it out for 8 full weeks. If you are not satisfied, you’ll receive a full refund. No quibbles. No hassles.
“I just wanted to drop you a line and say “thanks” for the Rituals. Although I have been very blessed in my writing practice, and I love what I do… I find myself constantly struggling with distraction.
I’ve never missed a deadline… but I have probably shaved a few years off my life because of procrastination-induced stress.
Now, thanks to your book, I have an understanding of why I behave this way. Even better, I now know how to overcome this problem once and for all. I really appreciate this book — so again, thank you!”

P.S. When writing this guide, I thought about it over the course of several weeks, took notes, planned the project, and then gave myself 6 days for writing. But by applying all 5 Rituals I managed to reduce the writing time to just 3 days. That’s an amazing increase in productivity. Buy your copy now…
“Brilliant! Nick, you’ve found a way for me to wrap my head around what it is I do every day - and gave me a framework for how to find more joy in writing for my clients.
I was formally trained as an anthropologist, and have studied rituals all my academic life. But, it never dawned on me to ritualize my work as a writer.
Despite the fact that I knew rituals are transformational; that they take the participant from one state of being into another…I never chose to apply them to the work I so dearly love. My perspective is forever changed. Thank you!”
