Excerpt from a YouTube interview where Stefan Georgi describes his process for writing daily emails. He favors writing in the mornings (often around 7:30–8:00), sometimes after doing other copy work, limiting distractions (avoiding news when actively writing), and using short focused sessions (about an hour) to stay ahead of deadlines; he also mentions reading (news or a book) as a source of prompts.
Stefan, what's your process for writing your daily emails? Do you follow any particular structure? Like mornings, nights, Write a week's worth in one sitting over a six pack or like bong in a blitz or whatever. What's all the ones.
He does it Smoking a pancake.
Smoking a pancake? Yeah.
All I do, I just write them in the mornings. And if I'm writing, if I'm doing deep work and stuff like that, I'm writing copy. Then. Oh yeah, with a shot of tequila.
Krista said in the morning.
So the shot of tequila, I'll write them around like 7:30 or 8. Hey, I'm almost done here. What's up? No, it's okay. So. Oh, my sister came in to mock me. Perfect. But so, yeah, I don't know, I just write them. If I'm writing copy, then I'll do it after I write copy. Like I haven't written copy last. Last week I didn't really write anything. I sort of took a break. I do have some stuff to do. I'm start even doing my off time. Do a deep work and just put like an hour or so on the next letter I have each morning. Because even if I just spend an hour, I'll be basically, you know, done way before my deadline. So, you know, in that case I'll. But if I don't have. Right. Then I might do it earlier. Like right now. The last week I've been waking up and then looking at trends a little bit. Like, you know, I was like Business Business Insider and TechCrunch and Venture Beat and all that kind of stuff. But I only do that when I'm not writing because otherwise I'll distract the shit out of me. My ADD is going to go crazy. Um, so if I, if I'm writing, I'd rather just write first and then. But based on that, then I'll write emails and then I guess today, yesterday and today I woke up and just read like a book for like an hour. And then I had a bunch of ideas and then that helped me to like serve as prompts for writing, I guess. So, yeah, that's gonna be my last question. There's one more in there. What's the last question? Let's see.
And then, oh, one snuck in on Facebook too, from Steven. I think we can handle that one after you're gone, Marcus.
