52 | Throwing (some) courses into the sea

Signed up for too many courses? It's fine to get rid of them.

A few weeks ago, a student in my Grow course shared a sentiment that's all too familiar.

She wrote:
"Having bought too many courses that are on backlog feels super burdensome. I want to just throw them all into the sea, as they represent time I don’t have."

So relatable, especially after almost 3 pandemic years.

Here are my suggestions:

#1: Make an inventory of the things you signed up for
Write it all down in a Google/Word doc (or anywhere you'll be able to find later) with links & expiration dates if relevant. Include free stuff.

#2: Decide which ones are a priority now
A reasonable number. Think 3-4 over the next few months.

#3: Keep other interesting ones for reference later
They're on your inventory list if you need them. Stop thinking about them for now.

#4: Pitch the rest into the sea
Actually delete them. Toodles.

To reiterate, you are allowed to get rid of trainings, classes, webinars, cheat sheets, templates, etc. for any reason, even if you’ve paid for them.

Don’t like the teaching style? Chuck it.

Already know most of the material? No need to keep it.

Not interested? Can't remember why you signed up? Have 17 sales page templates that are all basically the same? It’s fine to delete.

Time to do some fall cleaning.
