Writing Rituals - a productivity guide for writers and copywriters.
How much of your "writing time" is lost to distractions and 
procrastination?
How many hours do you lose simply because you are not staying tightly focused on your writing?
And how much more would you earn if your writing productivity increased by 25%, 50% or more?
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.
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.
Here are the 5 ways in which Writing Rituals will help you break down your old work habits and become wildly productive...
#1 – You'll learn how to CLEAR YOUR MIND.
Do you sometimes find yourself starting on a new task, while your mind is still buzzing with other "to-do" items?
#2 – You'll learn how to VISUALIZE THE OUTCOME of every task.
Have you ever got started on a project and then stumbled, realizing you're not quite sure where you are heading?
#3 - You'll learn how to GET FULLY LOADED before you start writing.
Do you ever find yourself stalled in the middle of a writing task, simply because you don't have all the information you need?
#4 – You'll learn how to START WRITING, even when it feels like you can't.
Do you ever have trouble getting started while staring at that blank page?
#5 – You'll learn how to STICK TO THE PLAN, even when the going gets tough.
Have you ever wished you could sail through a writing project without pause, hesitation or distraction?
These 5 Rituals will replace your old, unproductive habits and establish a framework in which you can become remarkably productive as a writer.
Does the Writing Rituals method always work? Is it guaranteed?
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!"
Ray Edwards
Copywriter/Marketing Consultant
"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!"
