Writers know that the first three pages are the most crucial when it comes to hooking the reader. You have to stoke the reader’s curiosity, making them not just want to know what happens next, but have to. It’s biology! Not only that, but the seeds of everything that will happen in your story are planted in the first few pages. No pressure, right? And to make the task even more daunting, ironically, most of what writers are taught to do in those three pages end up locking the reader out, rather than luring them in.
In this class, you’ll learn how to:
Slow down and work more deliberately.
Shrink or eliminate the unimportant from your life.
Focus on your highest-leverage tasks that give you the greatest return.
Schedule less time for important tasks.
Distract yourself from inevitable distractions.
Develop productive procrastination.
Use a healthy diet, sleep and exercise to be more productive.
Strive for imperfection.
Form good habits so your productivity is automatic.
Motivate yourself by understanding why you want to get something done.
