﻿Day 1

Subject: [firstname]: Thanks for signing up!

Dear [firstname],

Thank you for signing up to this short e-course on overcoming procrastination. By this time next week you'll have a clearer idea of how you can overcome procrastination and live a more productive life.  Over the coming days I'm going to be sending you a LOT of information.  Be sure to check your inbox every day and mark my messages as “important”. You should also set some time aside every day to read my messages and act on the information they contain.  Don't put this off.

Specifically, we're going to talk about:
* Why people procrastinate.  
* Why you should set goals – and how to make sure you stay on course to achieve them.
* Ways of breaking things down so large tasks don't seem so daunting
* How to determine what tasks you should put first, and what tasks are OK to leave until later
* The sort of people you should hang out with if you want to kick your procrastination habit for good
* And much more besides!

Of course, if you want to get a head start on all this, I've put together a no-holes barred manual that covers all this in detail. You can read all about it here: [link to sales page].

I also want to congratulate you.  By signing up for this course and reading this first e-mail (instead of putting things off) you're taking the first step on the road to a brighter future where you can accomplish more.

I'm not going to lie to you: Overcoming procrastination is hard.  Why?  Well, because procrastination is natural. Newton’s First Law of Motion says that a body at rest will stay at rest until compelled to do otherwise.  It's the compelling that can be the problem!  

We'll tackle that during the coming days.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

PS. Tomorrow we'll cover the three main reasons people procrastinate.  I'm willing to bet the reason you keep putting things off falls into one of these categories. Be sure to check your inbox tomorrow.
