Writer Unleashed

#11: How To Make Time To Write When You Have No Time


Listen Later

Time is finite. It’s not a renewable resource. We have so much crammed into our day - our jobs, our kids, our spouses, our homes.  And even if we do find pockets of time to write, we’re flat out stonkered by the time we get to our keyboard.

Because, here’s the thing. Writing requires clean focus. We need to be firing on all cylinders. It’s not just about finding the hours to write, it’s the quality of mind we bring to those hours.

But we all have more time than we think. And we have more control over our time than most of us would like to admit. 

On today's episode of Writer Unleashed, we'll explore:

  • Why we don't all have the same 24-hours in a day.
  • The 168 hours in a week paradigm. 
  • Why tracking your time for 7 days will help you find the time you need to write.
  • How to create your writing ritual.
  • What it means to write like a pro.

Notable books:

Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Laura Vanderkam's 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think
