How do you defrag your brain? Let's give it a shot! I need to lose weight I need to finish that project I need to buy a house I need to get out of debt I need to post a letter Does this sound like you? Is your mind full to bursting and you can't seem to stop the tap, filling it with more thoughts? You need to run a brain defrag. To do this, we're going to address open loops and explain how a weekly MindSweep can help. My tool of the week (AFF link) Canva: https://doug-digital.com/Canva​ (Simple graphics editing) In this video, I talk about the power of understanding your 'Open Loops'. According to David Allen, an open-loop is an unresolved thought or idea that doesn't have a next action or conclusion. How do you deal with these open loops? It's simple! We use what Allen calls a "MindSweep" Once per week, during a weekly review of your tasks and projects, take the time to write down any unresolved open loops in your mind -- this is the mindsweep. Every single thought of "I should do", "I need to do..", "I have to" and anything in between. Write it down. Break it down by every important aspect of your life. Be unrelenting. Don't worry if it's just a word or phrase, as long as you write it down. - Career - Relationships - Spirituality - Wealth - Health - Leadership - Wisdom Then for each item, aim to put down just one single thing that can move that thought forward in your life. It doesn't need to be big, just one simple thing. By doing this mind defrag, by conducting a mind sweep and resolving your open loops, you'll find that - just like a computer hard drive - you'll start feeling your mind be more responsive, your mood may improve and you'll feel yourself rising above the water that you've been treading. -- ??Resources I Use In My Business??

In this video, I explain what is the difference between an editorial calendar and a content calendar. **Tools of the week ?** Hello Bonsai: https://doug-digital.com/helloBonsai​ Canva: https://doug-digital.com/Canva​ (Simple graphics editing) **Follow Me For FREE Marketing Training!** ?Subscribe to Doug! http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqQZu...​ To know the differences between the platforms, we first need to know why you would use either calendar. The editorial calendar is used by digital marketing teams in order to map out core themes, topics, campaigns and brand partnerships for the year a head. Generally presented in a spreadsheet or slidedeck format, an editorial calendar is intended to be distributed both internally and externally; for internal colleagues, an editorial calendar will inform them of overarching content themes for the marketing team, and it can enhance collaboration; for external parties, an editorial calendar informs brand agencies where opportunities for brand collaborations rest, as well as opportunities to buy media space at relevant opportunities. A shareable calendar means that it must be high-level, easily digestible and a well-branded piece of collateral as it will be used to win brand deals. In contrast, a content calendar is precisely the opposite: dense, packed with information and not intended for external circulation. The exact purpose of the content calendar is to give structure to the day-to-day content production process within a marketing team, ensuring content is drafted, written, designed, approved and published while providing the content and marketing managers oversight of their team's workloads. A clearly defined content calendar will often tie into the editorial calendar because content will be aligned with the wider editorial visions for the quarter or month. This alignment gives content teams greater lead times, and allows for better quality and quality control -- rather than chasing collateral on the day of publication.
