I am writing this to you from my bed. One of my favourite places to work, and every time I work from here I wonder why I don’t do it more often.
And also, just so the mental image you have is correct, yes, I have showered, already been properly dressed, been out in the wide world, and then got into fresh PJ’s and back into bed to work and if you haven’t tried this, I highly recommend it.

I didn’t actually mean to write any of that, but the smug feeling is strong this morning and I’d like you to feel it too, so, you’re welcome!

What I am trying to get to writing about, is quick wins.
This time of year is super busy. I don’t quite know when this started, but the summer seems to be in competition with Christmas as to which season will mess with you most.

Please say it isn’t just me, but don’t you feel like you have 4473946 things to do before you even open your eyes in the morning at this time of year?

Me too.

So I give you a simple 10 min routine for Instagram that will keep you visible and connected to your community, whilst also attracting new followers.

This is not a long term strategy, but it’s OK for a couple of weeks when you have all the things to do.

Set a timer and lets go…

As this is going out on Friday, let’s start today. By next Friday, you’ll have posted 2 reels, engaged with accounts, got data from trial reels and attracted new followers, all in just 10 mins a day.

I am going to repeat again that this is not a long term strategy, but when you are tight on time, this works.

Here’s what to do, day by day:
