I think my neurodivergent brain needs NO explanation about the list 5 draft 5. Makes total sense. If i told myself ok I need to list 35 listings this week, I'd feel overwhelmed, I'd start strong then likely not do anymore for days and panic at the end of the week or make myself feel crap for not fulfilling. Create a simple process, allow it to become a habit then you can build from that. It's the reset, I get it 🤗 keep it up x consistency wins.
I first started watching you when I was reselling at the start of the year and thought you were quite unlikeable, you have changed so much in a year and I find you very likeable and have a great mentality. Meant as a compliment, maybe I'm just a bad judge of initial character, but absolute kudos for the self development, credit where due.
Hi, I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I think you’re awesome. I’ve been reselling for about 6 ish years and I’ve learnt so much from you in the last few months. I totally get your new strategy it’s been working for me for quite some time. We all struggle in one way or another although not everyone will admit it. Hat off to you keep doing what your doing xx
Once again, you've helped me out without knowing it. I never thought to do draught listing. I've always done scheduled listing, but I don't think it's good for the algorithm of eBay. Now I can change the way I list. Thanks brother 🙏
I used to list as I go. One item by one. Photo research, then list. I changed to drafting for the same reason as you. It helps to stay consistent. Especially when my mind is on meltdown. I reset at least once a year 😊 I totally get it. I did it, my way.😂 Others do it there way. All the best on your reset, Ricky 👌
I do exactly the same as you Ricky. I upload 5 from my draft bank each morning then list 5 to the draft bank each day. Sometimes I’ll add more live listings each day depending on other jobs. Works for me.
I think this strategy sounds good im very productive some days and upload all at once i used to make a draft..take photos then upload on another day feed the machine i completely forgot.
I'm still starting out. Selling around taxi driving. I'm going to use your new method but going to start with 3. I've got adhd or so Im told over and over lol. Sounds like a good idea filling up the draft bank so on the days I do more I can always have 3 going live a day. Noice.
You're doing so well Ricky and I know exactly what you mean. I think it's a really good way of working and if it works for you then that's great. I really struggle with consistency and procrastination, mental health etc, so know you have to make small adjustments to work through to get motivated. Love your vids and can tell you're a kind, genuine soul. Xx
In my humble opinion, to be successful you have to do what ever works best for YOU. Humans are not robots, we are all different, wired differently and therefore work differently. There is no one size fits all so find a way that works for YOU and do it that way! Ignore the negatives and think only positives is a sure fire way to success!
It's habit forming behaviour, to which you build onto. Check out atomic habits if you haven't already. "Resets" "habit stacking" "habit forming" google terms if its easier than reading the whole book.
That’s exactly what it is. That is literally all it is. This is not about growth. This is not about expanding This is purely about routine Nice to see you get it
Might seem silly but I set a target of 2 a day but I do work 6 days a week as a cobbler .. but I’ve found that difficult at time .. I have my own shop . I’ve just done a cobbling video of your interested
If two day works, that is fantastic! Five is very low still but for me it’s a good target to have while I’m trying to get back onto the swing of it That’s the message a lot people keep seeming to miss. (Not you clearly) I’m not brand new to this game. I’m not looking for best practices. I’m just sharing what’s working for somebody who falls off of the listing side of things i’m sharing my way of implementing a structure to get back into the swing of consistent listing Appreciate you mate
@@RickyResells thanks for the reply . I’m a bit the opposite. Kinda new to it and have learnt soo much off you and the others , hence why I’m willing to do some shoes for free for you have a great day
Another great vlog Ricky, please bear with me as this has taken me a few days to write. You are the same age as my eldest son and I can see so much of him in you.I am 63 and also ADHD but not diagnosed , my youngest son is also ADHD but God bless him struggled through and is a psychologist and through him constantly asking me I got to “speak” with my GP and got a referral but it will be years before a clinical diagnosis that is the state of our mental health service now in the UK . There is nothing wrong with any of us neuro divergents we were/are the artists the seers the empaths of this hijacked world. If I break the head off a bolt I will go right off the deep end and lob a spanner across the plantroom.. That said any major catastrophe I will walk through the gates of hell no problem..I know I have urgent things to do BUT I can easily spot a side quest and do that instead.Yesterday I was waiting for an Amazon delivery it said betweeen 9 am and 10 pm I was prepared to sit and wait all day in one spot for a bloody Beanie hat.I have wrecked my relationships over this as I could not relate to the neuro typical world, Yes addiction is also a killer I have myself battled gambling but still battle alcohol has a grip on me.Once a job becomes boring I have to move on regardless of the financial consequences.On the major plus sides we as a people are also more attuned to our surroundings and people around us. We sense far far more than neuro typicals and can sense when a situation or person is just not right. In any situation we have two sides of our brain acting independently and therefore making what seem rapid on the spot random decisions about people and places but it isn’t and more often than not we are correct.As a final message check your surname.. Mine is German and if you go back it means Defender/Protector.. as in my ancestors were the people who would be the ones aware of and sense what was going on outside the village etc just embrace the fact you are “different” you sense and see more of this world and what is in it than others , follow your dream, go sit in the forest and follow the stream, we were never ever meant to sit behind a desk and do what some person who thinks they have control tells you or I what to do.I hope that you Ricky or others can see that you are far from alone I am just happy for you that you have the diagnosis and can receive the help but direction to guide you through the better life I haven’t had.
Hi mate, thank you so much for the message I appreciate the words that you’ve said and I can relate and understand On your last part, though I am in fact undiagnosed I don’t need the diagnosis to know that I’ve got it. I only want the diagnosis (which I’ve been waiting five years for now) in order to try and get some kind of help Save me from going on the black market for medication Not even that I’m that keen on taking medication, but I just want to see what quality of life it gives and any other advice they can give I’ve raw dog for 37 years now I’m sure I can manage a few more Keep bright, stay positive and all the best mate
Hi Ricky totally get why you draft and it makes perfect sense to me... Just wandering how long approximately does this take as I sell on Ebay and think my listing take to long. Obviously I know it depends on what your selling but just a ball point estimate of time spent. Appreciate you and the time you take to produce video's which help me 4 sure.
How can anyone not understand what you're doing ?, and why you're doing it that way. Petes told me to tell you that next time somebody makes daft comments, just tell them that its better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid, than to open it and remove all doubt. Its one of his favourite sayings lol 😊
I think the issue here is the comment section. I’d have a hard time with comments if I was a youtuber. Some people simply aren’t worth replying to and some comments simply aren’t worth reading. I get it, what you’re saying is quite simple, you explained it perfectly well. To attempt to explain it to “those at the back of the class” becomes a waste of time and energy - they’ll never understand. Some people will simply never get it.
I don't understand the draft thing either. I buy it I list it I pack it all on the same day otherwise your missing possible sales and creating a death pile. We all do it our own way I guess 🤷♂️
@RickyResells hahaha wouldn't know my friend, I've got horrible depression so I force myself to get it done or I'll be up all night beating myself up (behave) about not getting it done. We are all different and do what works for us
Question: ever thought of spending monday just doing listing and drafting 5 for the whole week each day, then you've got the whole week to do whatever.
No, because having time to ‘ do whatever ‘ means unfortunately I will do fuck all worthwhile I’m just using this method to get me back into work It will change again once I’m Rigid
It's surely not more productive it's the same amount of work just spread over 2 days?? Instead of doing the pictures and doing the write up and posting in the same day you just leave out the last bit of posting, I personally haven't posted for 2 weeks and I've had 2 weeks of fantastic sales I'm now buying for next year and about to take 1 month off selling and enjoying Xmas with the wife and kids, whatever Ricky feels better with is better for him, do what makes life easier
It is more productive than when I’m doing zero listings some days one or two another and by the time the week comes round, I’ve only done five listings This way, I get 25 done
Im not trying to teach you how to suck eggs ricky but have you ever tryed ending 10 listings and sell similar i do this daily and it really works for me as for the last 6 weeks ive literally listened 30 new items witch really is not a lot at all and my sales are through the roof and i put this down to selling similar. Great video
Yeah, mate, very common practice of mine only if I de list 10 at the moment I’ll have no items left 😅 the point of this practice is for me to increase store listings again. I’m running under 100 atm. Crazy. Thanks Paul

Happy Christmas Ricky and everyone watching this
Ricky....Remember. You are your OWN Hero....... You do You....& let the Ether worry about Them that do them ;) x
I do exactly the same as you Ricky. I upload 5 from my draft bank each morning then list 5 to the draft bank each day. Sometimes I’ll add more live listings each day depending on other jobs. Works for me.
I admire your patience!! Good idea for listing style, I might just copy you!!

Cheers Ricky Great Routine mate might give it a go myself 👍😊

I have an antenna hairstyle today so i can receive signals from all these UFOs I keep seeing ...
Not just me then 😊
The 5 in the draft bank is a good idea. You're prepared for the next day and can hit the ground running
Just so we are all 100% sure... Can you explain it all once more 😂😂😂
Might have too
@@RickyResells I really don't get how people are confused by the way you work, sounds straight forward
Jesus christ how it so hard to understand.. i think its a great way to work through things . Good on you mate

There is no one size fits all so find a way that works for YOU and do it that way! Ignore the negatives and think only positives is a sure fire way to success!
Makes sense to me .basically its 15 listing. List yesterdays drafts 5 new and another 5 to roll over tomorrow and repeat. Big love. X
It's habit forming behaviour, to which you build onto.
Check out atomic habits if you haven't already. "Resets" "habit stacking" "habit forming" google terms if its easier than reading the whole book.
Thanks, habit stacking seems interesting after a quick read
It’s good to reset and start again.
🫶🏻
I think this is about routine, having drafts makes sure tomorrow and the next day are fruitful... maybe...
That’s exactly what it is. That is literally all it is.
This is not about growth. This is not about expanding
This is purely about routine
Nice to see you get it

Also if you ever need a pair of shoes repairing for re sale or yourself just post them to me I’ll do them for FREE as a thank you for the info
okay so u draft 5 a day..? i didnt get it lol
To not have a draft bank as backup in my opinion is failing to prepare
How can anyone not understand what you're doing ?, and why you're doing it that way.
Petes told me to tell you that next time somebody makes daft comments, just tell them that its better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid, than to open it and remove all doubt.

Love that hope you’re well. Say hello to Pete for me.
Glad your method is working for you but I’d just prep and list 5 a day…..
You crack on Malcolm
Yes bruva 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Bro how are we the same age you look like my father
I’ve lived
Hi Ricky I have just emailed you back
Struggling to find how this guy isn’t getting it…..
Getting what?
I don't understand the draft thing either. I buy it I list it I pack it all on the same day otherwise your missing possible sales and creating a death pile. We all do it our own way I guess 🤷♂️
Must be nice to have a good functioning mentality. I’ll get there one day
@RickyResells hahaha wouldn't know my friend, I've got horrible depression so I force myself to get it done or I'll be up all night beating myself up (behave) about not getting it done. We are all different and do what works for us

It will change again once I’m Rigid
@RickyResells ok just a idea keep up the good work.
It's surely not more productive it's the same amount of work just spread over 2 days?? Instead of doing the pictures and doing the write up and posting in the same day you just leave out the last bit of posting, I personally haven't posted for 2 weeks and I've had 2 weeks of fantastic sales I'm now buying for next year and about to take 1 month off selling and enjoying Xmas with the wife and kids, whatever Ricky feels better with is better for him, do what makes life easier

This way, I get 25 done
first .
Im not trying to teach you how to suck eggs ricky but have you ever tryed ending 10 listings and sell similar i do this daily and it really works for me as for the last 6 weeks ive literally listened 30 new items witch really is not a lot at all and my sales are through the roof and i put this down to selling similar. Great video
Yeah, mate, very common practice of mine only if I de list 10 at the moment I’ll have no items left 😅 the point of this practice is for me to increase store listings again. I’m running under 100 atm. Crazy. Thanks Paul
