Parkinson’s Law states that work expands to fill the time available. For course creators, nowhere is this more true than in the launching of a new course.
I’ve seen creators spend months or even years planning and developing a single course. They start with the best of intentions, but with no milestones to aim for and endless time available, progress—ironically—slows to a crawl.
I spent several months creating my first digital course. That was far longer than I intended it to take, and a big part of the problem was that I didn’t have a timeline to follow. I didn’t know that I needed to compartmentalize my tasks to keep from muddying the project waters. I didn’t know how to prevent scope creep—or how badly it could derail my progress. I didn’t know the importance of single-tasking.
Fast forward a few years and a few dozen completed courses, and I now have a plan that lets me create a brand new course in four weeks or less, without the backtracking, overwhelm, and rabbit trails that can make a product launch take longer than necessary.
I’m sharing my course creation timeline with you in this week’s episode, so you can make Parkinson’s Law work for you instead of against you.
Quick & Easy Course Creation offers up the step-by-step process to follow to take your course from idea to finished in record time.
