So already, the first thing to do, in my opinion, is to say no often, because nothing is passive. After writing my first book, which took me a lot of time and I had a certain number of goals for this book, I already wanted to enter the world of publishing, see how it worked, what it's like to write a book, how you work with the publisher, so I really wanted to see that and then establish a partnership with this publisher while having a physical book available in all bookstores in fact. Those were my goals. So, I said yes.
But I was offered a second book directly after the first and we used arguments, but the publisher told me: "Well it won't be a lot of work, it will be passive for you because you already uae whatsapp number data have the material, and in addition, we will put someone with you if you want", because I had said no the first time, and I was told: "We can put someone with you to do the majority of the work", basically that I bring my name and my material. And I said no, because the only key ultimately, the only way around that, the fact that we live in a world in which nothing is easy, nothing is passive, is to say no often, so say no often.
Second, simplify as much as possible, try to eliminate as many things as possible. I am currently eliminating a big project from Authentic French, I will have the opportunity to talk about it. I am not doing it with a light heart, it really makes me sad to end this project, but nothing is passive, so we must eliminate and simplify.
Try to plan more time than necessary for projects, that is to say if you think a project is going to take you two weeks, plan a month, really, because it's always like that, it always takes more time. Sometimes you'll be told "yes, Parkinson's law says that a task takes the time you give it", that is to say if you say "I have to write this report in a week", you'll put exactly one week, if you say "I have to write this report in three days", you'll write it in three days.
