The Author Burnout Cure

176. Tiered Writing Goals


Listen Later

When you have a big project or deadline—such as drafting a new novel under contract—setting tiered writing goals can make the difference between enjoying that process and stumbling into burnout. As a bonus, those tiers also make it more likely you’ll actually achieve your goal! 

This week on the podcast, I share my personal strategy for tackling a new book—even while my emotional world is turbulent. 

PS - I’m pressing pause on monthly workshops this quarter. You can access past workshop replays at http://www.isabelsterling.com/resources

The publishing industry is hard. That's why I created The Confident Author Academy. My 6-month coaching program (+ online course) helps you build the mindset & emotional resilience you need to thrive as an author.
