Listen Later

In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest challenges in writing a book: finding the time to write. If you're a busy professional, coach, or leader with a story to share, this episode is packed with practical tips and productivity hacks to help you carve out time and maintain momentum.

Introduction:

  • Discussing the significance of finding time to write.
  • What happened when I wrote "The 6 Pillars of a Rewarding Life" over three years without a plan.

Hack #1: Environment

  • Setting up a conducive writing environment.
  • Importance of a distraction-free, comfortable space.

Hack #2: Time Blocking

  • Dedicating specific time blocks for writing.
  • Treating these blocks as non-negotiable appointments.

Hack #3: Pomodoro Technique

  • Using the Pomodoro Technique to maintain focus.
  • Working for 25 minutes, then taking a 5-minute break.

Hack #4: Accountability

  • Staying accountable with a coach, writing group, or buddy.
  • Tracking progress and setting clear goals.

Hack #5: SMART Goals

  • Setting Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound goals.
  • Importance of having a clear, structured plan.

Key Takeaway:

"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail." Having a structured plan and finding the right strategies are crucial to writing your book, especially as a busy business owner.
