I’m working on a rather large project for an SEO client. It’s a real estate client. He owns hundreds of websites and has hired me to write copy for 25 of them.
It’s a relatively simple project, but for the life of me, I just can’t seem to get going on it. All I have to do is write the “About” page and the “Photos” page. The project is due tomorrow and I have about 30 pages of copy to turn in.
I’ve procrastinated and procrastinated on this project because I just don’t look forward to writing about it. So, I decided to write this post to see if I could get to the bottom of why I don’t like this project (oftentimes, writing my thoughts down helps to clarify them for me).
Following is why I can't get going on this project, and what I plan to do about it. If you one day find yourself stuck on a project, maybe this will help you.
