Ep54: Creating a Writing Schedule That Fits Your Busy Life—And Sticking to It


Listen Later

In this episode, learn the secret behind writing your book without feeling overwhelmed by the busyness of life. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a coach, or a busy mom, you’ll learn how to fit writing into your schedule, even if it seems impossible right now.

Key Takeaways:

  • Step 1: Mindset Shift – It’s about prioritizing your writing, not waiting to find time. Writing doesn’t magically happen; you make it happen.
  • Step 2: Be Realistic – Create a schedule that fits your actual life, not an ideal version of it. Don’t set unrealistic goals like writing for hours when you know you don’t have that time.
  • Step 3: Break It Down – Tackle your book in small, manageable goals. Focus on sections, not the entire manuscript at once.
  • Step 4: Find Your Routine – Some people thrive on structure; others prefer flexibility. Find what works for you and stick to it.
  • Step 5: Eliminate Distractions – Don't wait for the perfect distraction-free moment. Instead, work with the environment you have.
  • Step 6: Stick to Your Routine, But Stay Flexible – Life happens, and that’s okay. Just get back to writing when you can and stay consistent.

Special Mentions:

  • My journey writing Six Pillars of a Rewarding Life and how I struggled with momentum.
  • How I finished Evolve Your Skills and Publish to Impact in just 6 months by creating a realistic writing schedule.
  • The importance of repurposing your writing for content in your business—writing your book can save time!
