When you Have so Many Ideas: Multi-passionate Productivity Hacks
/Hi Dear!
So many ideas, such little time. Such is the life of a multi-passionate. I like to call us energy hummingbirds because we get so excited by so many different things, it can feel like we are speed buzzing from one idea to another.
And while that energy is super powerful, it can also leave us exhausted and overwhelmed from spinning our wheels. So if your motto is More is More, consider these tips to help harness your multi-prong passion into a more productive superpower:
Brain Dump: There is nothing worse than feeling scattered, trying to make sense and keep track of all your ideas in your head. The seemingly obvious (but not always followed) solution - write them all down. For those sudden a-ha's, keep a notes file on your phone or use a voice-to-text memo. To keep things more manageable, try scheduling a daily or weekly timeslot to unload all those creative bits and pieces. Maybe they are amazing offerings, content pillars or future projects, but it won’t be clear if they stay in your head.
Categorize, Strategize, Simplify: Once your ideas are on paper, you will start to see how they can go together. Look for the overarching themes and put alike things in common buckets. Next, see where pieces can be used in a sales funnel or how a client could naturally follow a path from one topic or offering to another. This is the place to sideline anything that seems too complicated, requires a separate system or pulls your core messages in a different direction.
Get Client Focused: It's more than okay to have multiple revenue streams, it's actually beneficial. In fact, the average millionaire has 7 revenue streams! So while you can offer lots of things, they need a common theme and focus so it’s clear to your audience what you do, who you serve and what your mission is. Remember to embody your target client. People need to file you away in their mental rolodex with a specific theme/need they associate you with.
Remember, the point of all this isn't to hinder your creative process, but to practice techniques that allow you to make the most of it! Your work is more than just work; it’s how you express yourself, how you are meant toshine your light. And your seamingly disparate ideas, can often come together in the most magical of ways.
