Next I want you to make a short<br \/>\nnew post about it in the forums:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/scotthyoung.com\/members\/?page_id=10\">https:\/\/scotthyoung.com\/members\/?page_id=10<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Why am I giving you work?<\/p>\n<p>Because I know you made the investment into this course for a reason<br \/>\nand I know that reason wasn&#8217;t just to scan my emails and hear my<br \/>\nvoice. You actually want results.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s always a gap between thinking about ideas and actually doing<br \/>\nthem. By taking on this mission (because homework is way too dreary)<br \/>\nyou&#8217;ll be able to cross that gap and start making huge improvements.<\/p>\n<p>Why am I insisting you write about it in the forums?<\/p>\n<p>Because when people work together on ideas, there are synergies.<br \/>\nIn the past when doing these trials, we had dozens of members each<br \/>\nmaking great suggestions to each other. That meant that after<br \/>\nposting the person walked away not only more motivated, but with<br \/>\ntools and tricks that she hadn&#8217;t thought of before.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>But look, I really don&#8217;t believe in the &#8220;do as I say, not as I do&#8221;<br \/>\napproach to life, so I&#8217;m not going to be sitting around either.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve set my own 30-Day Trials and I wanted to walk you through<br \/>\nexactly what I&#8217;m doing to implement some improvements to my own<br \/>\nproductivity system.<\/p>\n<p>Several times in this course I&#8217;ve done documentation of my 30-Day<br \/>\nTrials in this course.
