[W124]Ways To Get Over Your Ex

by Kevin Eikenberry, Kev

We'll all been there. Ballplayers call it a slump. Some call it a lull or a funk. These are the times when you don't seem to have as much energy or passion for your work. You can't seem to get as excited (or excited at all) about the tasks in front of you. You are less productive, and you don't feel as good about your work either. Beyond that, the quality of your work you are getting done may be slipping as well.

This situation can be caused by many things and it can affect both individuals and teams. Regardless of the reasons for the situation, there are specific, predictable ways to get past the funk. When you apply these suggestions (and some of them you can apply within one minute of finishing this article) you will lift both your spirits and your productivity, and begin to give you your rhythm back.

Since there's no reason to wait any longer, let's get started!

Get started. Action is the most important force we have. Taking action, whatever it is, will make a big difference. Often our energy is drained by procrastination. Lou Holtz, the longtime football coach said, “When all is said and done, there is a lot more said than done.” Stop talking about it or thinking about it and get started. Do something. Do anything. Get started!

Fake it. Dale Carnegie taught us that if we “act enthusiastic, we'll be enthusiastic.” This is a fundamental truth. If you don't immediately take action, you can begin by getting yourself excited about the task. If you are having trouble getting excited about the task, get excited about getting over your slump. That will motivate you and help you get going.

Start small. The first actions we take don't have to be large. We may even feel a bit daunted by what is in front of us. In fact, the size of the project or obstacle in front of us may have been what caused the slump to start with. The size of your actions doesn't matter. Take a small step right now.

Think big. While you may start small, you can still think big. Having a big vision can help motivate you and get you excited. It can be incredibly helpful to have a big vision.

Set a goal. Of course the “think big” suggestion is related to goal setting. But you can have a big vision without truly having a goal. Again, at this point the size of the goal is less important than having a clear endpoint that is something you really want. I didn't make this the first suggestion, though you could argue it should be. Why didn't I? Because sometimes people procrastinate in setting a goal! You need this step, and if you can get that clear focus at the start, all the better.

Get some help. Sometimes a task is easier if you have someone to work with. Get a co-worker to share the load on your project, and offer to help them in return. Ask a neighbor for a hand. Their helping hand or their camaraderie may be what stimulates you, or maybe it is the accountability that comes from another person saying, “I'm ready, where do we start?”

Get some advice. Talk to someone who knows about your project or task. Ask for the benefit of their experience. Get their ideas about how to proceed. Their advice will be helpful, and you will likely feel some support for your actions.

Have a daily plan. Do a little bit more each day. A big effort today is great, but if it isn't followed up tomorrow you might find yourself right back where you started emotionally and psychologically. Have a daily plan and work that plan. Consistently work on the task or project and you will find your energy and enthusiasm growing. Soon your slump will be a distant memory.

Set a reward. Maybe you will reward yourself with your favorite dinner, or a night out, or a new CD. Pick something commiserate with your task and something that is motivating to you (or your team). It won't be long until you will be enjoying the rewards you set for yourself.

Johnny Cash wrote and sang a song called “Get Rhythm,” and the last chorus goes .. .

Get rhythm when you get the blues
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones
Get taps on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues

All of these suggestions come back to that musical advice. When we get into a rhythm, we get out of our lull and into greater joy… and productivity.

Go ahead, get rhythm today!

Organic traffic is traffic that comes to your website naturally and without being driven there by any specific paid marketing campaign. With organic traffic website surfers are there because they found the site when they clicked on your resource box in your article. The main engine for organic traffic is article writing. To ensure you understand how to start getting your share of these amazing marketing system, type into your browser "organic traffic".

The results you get on the right are paid and the results you see on the left are organic and normally unpaid. Let us examine the methods you can start using right now to start generating your share. Organic traffic usually happens in the same way that you might browse the bookshelf at your local bookstore or library for something in a specific area of interest and discover that little treasure that contains all the answers you're seeking. This is what the Web was all about when it was first created. The main sources of organic traffic include referrals from other Web sites (links), referrals from search engines, and URLs placed on business cards or letterheads. The best way to get organic traffic from referrals from other websites is to write articles that contain useful content that is needed by these website owners. A top criterion for them using your content is they must include your resource box which includes a clickable link to your website in the article.

If the reader of your article likes your information he or she may click on your website link in your resource box to find out more. The trick is to call for action in your conclusion. If your information is genuine, the reader might just click on your website link in your resource box to check your site out and thereby given you an opportunity to sell your products displayed on your website.

Referrals from search engines. Organic traffic from search engines is based on complex formulas and explanations can be compared to the tax laws. I will you some known facts that will get you started immediately. The search engines in order to determine popularity have spiders crawl the web looking for links. Accordingly, the more links pointing to your website from other websites or link directories tells the search engines your site is relevant and must have something interesting for all this other websites to link to yours. Now, how you generate this links and the way they are counted or measured is open to major dispute and false claims.

The best ways to start generating this links is to start writing articles that is relevant to what web surfers are looking for and in the bottom of the article you place your website URL in the resource box. Use the same method you find in the resource box of this article, just use your own words to start getting your share of organic traffic. You submit your article to article distribution sites like Articlesdynamic for distribution to website owners looking for relevant contents.

Submit your articles to at least ten other articles distribution sites. When other website owners use your article you get a link pointing to your website. I have seen one article become so popular that in two months is has generated thousands of links for the writer. Your best bet is to just keep writing unique articles with relevant keywords and submit them to article distribution directories. I know website owners that write and submit fifteen to twenty articles a month. Just imagine the links pointing back to your site and the search engines will reward you with an ever increasing share of organic traffic relevant to your website.

URLs placed on business cards or letterheads or emails. Another effective method to generate organic traffic is to start including your website URL in your business cards, letterheads or emails. Since you have no idea who might need your services, it is in your best interest to invite everyone. I usually include my business card with any bill I pay through the mail. I also include my website in my emails.

Use the above methods to generate organic traffic. Be cautious about scams that promise to give you dramatic search engine placements. From experience the only placement that happened was my money got placed in their pocket with no visible results. You can also buy articles just make sure you're the only original owner. Plr articles sold to hundreds of individuals are a waste. Buy only unique articles. The above techniques will get you an ever increasing share of organic traffic that can become an avalanche as long as you continue writing and submitting unique article content.
