The 5MO Practice

5 Minutes to Reflect before Drafting
00:00 / 05:13

Spend 5 minutes reflecting on what you've outlined before converting it to a more formal outline structure you enjoy, or free write to the intention you've unlocked.

When to listen:

  • you've worked through the 5MO

  • you're not sure where to go next

5 Minutes to Plan Revisions from a 5MO
00:00 / 05:31

Spend 5 minutes reflecting on what you've drafted—use a 5MO perspective to check in with yourself on any new insights, analyze what you've written, and map out potential revision options.

When to listen: you're familiar with the 5MO and have a piece of content to revise. 

If you're staring down a project 
wondering if it'll ever get done...
 
Or if you're holding onto an idea,
wondering if it's 
good enough
clear enough
Big enough...

Let's take 5 minutes.

I promise it's enough to get started.
