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.

 

Slaying Distractions In Real Time

Posted By Stephen Dean on December 10th, 2008

While I’m working on a project, especially in the beginning when I haven’t gotten in the flow, I come up with a lot of distracting thoughts.

“Do a google search for…”

“Check your bank account for…”

“Yesterday you forgot to…”

“I need to buy…”

Sometimes trying to ignore these thoughts are just as distracting as switching to the less important activity. So here’s what I do.

As I work, I keep a notepad file open. Everytime I get a distracting thought, I write it down in the notepad file and minimize it. Then continue writing.

Because I wrote it down, I’m able to stop thinking about it. While it does stop my work progress for a moment, it’s much better than actually giving in to taking care of the task. And really, I’ve already disrupted my momentum just by thinking the thought.

Eventually I get in to such a flow that these thoughts stop.
