We’re Moving To CopywritingDean.com

Posted By Stephen Dean on March 8th, 2009

I’m changing my domain name for this blog. You can find new posts here: http://www.copywritingdean.com

I decided Stephensblog.com wasn’t the best domain for my business. My name (Stephen) is kind of hard to spell. Many people spell it wrong. And it’s spelled differently than it sounds.

Ideally I’d move to StephenDean.com, but that domain is not available and likely not for sale. Apparently there’s a French artist with the same name as me who got it first. (I have emailed about it, but never got a response.)

So what to do…

CopywritingDean.com makes a lot of sense to me.

* It does have my last name in it “Dean.”
* It contains the keyword I’m targeting most.
* It kind of has a double meaning. Copywriting Dean, or Dean of Copywriting. You know?!
* And it better explains my site.

This site currently gets a lot of search engine traffic, and I don’t want to leave it all behind. So I’m going to keep it up for a while and see what I can do with the traffic.

Hopefully I’ll be able to build up links to http://www.copywritingdean.com quickly. If you already have me in your blogroll, I’d really appreciate it if you changed the URL to copywritingdean.com.

If you don’t have me in your blogroll, I’d really appreciate it if you added me :)

Again, thanks for reading everyone.

 

How To Double Your Productive Hours

Posted By Stephen Dean on January 19th, 2009

I just watched this video by Perry Belcher. I was surprised to find we have a similar technique (and reasoning) for keeping organized and focused.

Watch the video if you’d like…

I don’t use post-it notes. But I do jot down thoughts as they come to me for the purpose of clearing them from my head. And I prioritize them similar to Perry’s method.

The difference for me is that I write everything down in a “distractions.txt” file. When I’m working, if a great thought or idea comes to me, I click a shortcut on my taskbar to open the file and type it in. Then I close the file and continue working.

It makes it easier to leave the thought alone until later so I can stay focused.

Hi Stephen, I already commented on Perry’s video on facebook, so to save on typing; here’s what I said:
“one guy i knew used mini post-its and he’d place each post-it on a blank chart, where the y-axis was ‘time to complete’ and x-axis was ‘importance’.
he could then see at a glance what tasks were both quick to complete and important and would knock those off first, then plough through the rest in a similar fashion. it worked really well for him… till someone rearranged them for him… (not guilty)”
