Here we go. Let’s talk about Spongebob once again.
There’s an episode where Spongebob has to write an 800 word essay about what not to do at a stoplight.
So after class, he goes home. Excited to write the greatest essay of all time, or so he thought.
Like every human being, he procrastinates instead. He does everything he can to avoid doing the assignment.
He feeds his pet snail.
Cleans his kitchen, including the garbage can.
Calls Patrick.
Attempts to make small talk with the mailman, who somehow knows that Spongebob has an essay to write.
And that’s when things start to get weird. Starting with the anchorfish reporting Spongebob’s procrastination on TV, to his clock talking to him, his candle coming to life and burning his paper, which only had one word written on it:
“The.”
Turns out the whole thing was a nightmare and he wakes up five minutes before class starts. At that moment, a burst of ideas comes to him, all of which came from his dream, and he manages to finish his essay on time.
So I told that entire story to just make this point:
Great ideas come during the most unexpected times.
In Spongebob’s case, his ideas came from a nightmare. And in the case of writing emails, you’re always going to need new ideas to write about so you don’t bore your readers.
That’s where my book, How to Become an Email Titan comes in.
Appendix five: How to Generate Endless Email Content has eight different methods you can use to come up with new ideas for your emails. And you can easily incorporate these methods into your everyday life, even if you’re always busy.
But before you get yourself a copy of the book, I suggest you get the sample chapters and see if it’s worth your investment.
