You know we always get good quotes to design from

You know we always get good quotes to design from James Clear, author of Atomic Habits!⁠ ⁠ One of our favourite other quotes is:⁠ ⁠ A year from now, you'll wish you started today!⁠ ⁠ Getting started seems to be a big sticking point for a lot of people.⁠ ⁠ How many times have you put something off, then started, and realised an hour or 2 later, you're done!⁠ ⁠ Or almost done, or well on your way, or making headway!⁠ ⁠ Why did you wait so long to start!⁠ ⁠ Many articles have been written with tips on procrastination and tips to overcome this common affliction.⁠ ⁠ Some of our favourite tips:⁠ ⁠ 📅 Diary blocking - make an appointment in your diary to do the task, and at LEAST do the first step. Once you begin, it's much easier to continue!⁠ ⁠ 🏃‍♀️Work Sprints: Meet with a friend, sent a time limit, tell each other what you will each work on, and get to work- no talking till the time up and ONLY work on what you said you would!⁠ ⁠ 🐸Eat that Frog - based on the famous book by Brian Tracy, do the thing that's hardest, first thing! And then you've done the hardest thing already!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #begin #procrastinator #procrastinate #distractions #procrastinationatitsfinest #procrastinating #situation #laziness #stressed #actionsteps #focusforward #bestselfco #anxietymemes #anxietyart

Keren gets many emails from those who we don't kno

Keren gets many emails from those who we don't know and this one, from Phil from @Packhelp (do follow them!), caught her eye and lead to a great new article on our blog about Onboarding Boxes.⁠ ⁠ Go to our blog:⁠ ⁠ https://www.topleftdesign.com/blog and you'll see it.⁠ ⁠ Or here's the full URL:⁠ ⁠ https://www.topleftdesign.com/making-new-hires-feel-welcome-with-onboarding-boxes/⁠ ⁠ If you've never heard of "onboarding boxes" read the article on our blog all about it.⁠ ⁠ And for those who like a bit of well-written copywriting that caught Keren's eye, see below for the original text. Images indicated but not included.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ SUBJECT: The wittiest email you'll read in the next 8 minutes⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ------------------⁠ ⁠ Greetings and salutations Keren⁠ ⁠ You don't know me, I’m Phil, part of the content team at Packhelp. ⁠ ⁠ Here's a picture of me (and my LinkedIn) so you know you're talking to a real person:⁠ ⁠ ⁠ I got your contact details from a guy who was selling USB drives down a dimly-lit alleyway. By that, I mean I got it from Linkedin. ⁠ ⁠ Anyways, I’ll be brief. ⁠ ⁠ I’d love to write a guest post for your blog. ⁠ ⁠ Here's you: pffft, delete⁠ Here's me:⁠ ⁠ ⁠ [PICTURE OF PHIL]⁠ ⁠ You don’t want to put below average guest posts on your blog. ⁠ ⁠ And if you've read this far, it's pretty evident that I don't create 'average' content, as you can see from the following handpicked guest posts written by myself:⁠ ⁠ [LIST OF LINKS]⁠ ⁠ ⁠ I could post more, but this email isn’t about me - it’s about getting a high-quality guest post on your blog. ⁠ ⁠ Now, I can throw you a handful of ideas that are great from Packhelp’s point of view *cough the role of an unboxing experience in marketing cough cough* but here's what you can do: ⁠ ⁠ Tell me about any burning ideas that you’ve just not had the time to get around to writing. ⁠ ⁠ If these kinds of ideas don’t exist, let me know and we can throw some ideas back and forth. ⁠ ⁠ I look forward to your expletive-laden response!⁠ ⁠ -Phil⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #greatemail #copywriting #collaboration #blogging #onboardingboxes #read #readthis #funny #witty #picture #realperson ⁠ ⁠ ⁠

Keren asked our lovely and fun-to-work-with client

We've got a new offer, and the whole idea came fro

We've got a new offer, and the whole idea came from our client and friend, Rachel Collinson - the Donor Whisperer. She's done something similar for her charity clients, with Facebook Surgeries.⁠ ⁠ This idea came with a lot of energy from her, which we love and appreciate!⁠ ⁠ She's had many bad experiences with other agencies and now she's found us she is thrilled!⁠ ⁠ So, here's the offer:⁠ ⁠ If you have any issues with your WordPress website, whether it's the security, SSL, some bug, or glitch - or something else, you book a session with us for £100.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 1. You explain the issues you’re having.⁠ ⁠ 2. We’ll log in and check out what’s going on to make sure we understand the issue.⁠ ⁠ 3. We fix anything that can be fixed in half an hour.⁠ ⁠ 4. We arrange a call to go through what we discovered AND suggest some helpful things you can try.⁠ ⁠ As well as any other stuff we spot that’s easy to sort.⁠ ⁠ Cost: £100+VAT (we’ll invoice you afterward).⁠ ⁠ ⁠ We have a form to sign up and book a session:⁠ ⁠ https://www.topleftdesign.com/wordpress-surgery⁠ ⁠ Or DM us here and we'll send you the link!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ More from Rachel about her experience with us:⁠ ⁠ 🗨️⁠ ⁠ ⁠Over the last 20 years, I've worked with a LOT of different coders and agencies. It's taken me this long to find an agency I can trust when it comes to WordPress. I vetted them by spending my own money on a project. It went better than expected (and I expect a lot from the people I work with). I was wowed by how fast they worked, and the design was gorge. So I'm half hoping they don't get too booked up because of this! </selfish mode off>⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #surgery #wordpress #wordpresssurgery #websitefixes #fixmywebsite #fixyourwebsite #glitches #bug #bugs #websitebug #service
