Day 4: Holding Steady

Marketing

• No adjustments to the ads yet. Laid groundwork with testing / refinement during previous launches and in between. Once you have a foundation and some momentum with the Amazon Ads this can provide a stable base to build on.
• No pre-order for next book, going to build the skill of getting this next book done without a hard deadline. Also want to compare performance versus the pre-orders.

Productivity + Crash

• No words today; been waiting until the end of the day, when energy has been waning. Not a big deal, but need to make an adjustment before that becomes a recurring theme.
• Understanding whether you’re a burst writer (e.g., writing a book in a week to hit a deadline) or consistent writer (every day, five times a week, etc.) is key to boosting your overall productivity and mitigating unnecessary stress. Experiment with alternative approaches as they can be useful in certain scenarios (I’m trying to write more consistently here) or help you build little skills that augment your core approach. But build the bulk of your productivity system around your strengths and natural work tendencies rather than fighting them.
