In the attention age you must use your scarcest resource – your attention – wisely, if you want to succeed.
For repetitive tasks that you don’t want to pay attention to again, record a video as you’re doing the task. Most likely you’re performing the work on your computer, so just start Camtasia recording in the background and speak into the microphone as you’re working.
The recorded video will serve as perfect instructions for an intern or an outsourcing company. All they have to do is follow the exact same steps as they see in the video.
Another option is to create an information product from the procedure that you’re performing. It doesn’t have to be something unique that only you know how to do. There is always a market of people who want to learn directly from someone who has done it before instead of trying to figure it out themselves.
James Brausch is a master at this. His products Create A Blog, Create A CD, Create A DVD, Publish A Newsletter, etc. where all recorded as he was performing these tasks to create other products.
Speaking to yourself and recording what you’re doing may feel strange at first, but when you consider that this is the last time you will be performing this task or you think about the extra money you will earn from an additional information product, I’m sure you’ll get over it.
