Advice for Busy Writers

Question: How Do You Write A Book While Balancing the Obligations of Life?

Answer: Time Management!

Here is How I Managed My Time So I Could Write A Book While Working as a Full Time Employee and Part Time Graduate Student:

1. Mobile Capture Tool - The Google Docs App allowed me to write down (capture) my ideas throughout the day. Then I referred back to my notes when I had scheduled time to sit down and elaborate. Other people may consider using a physical notebook or the notes app on their phone.

2. Blocking Time on the Calendar - Using a calendar app will allow you to visually see how much time you have to write and prevent overlapping obligations.

3. Set Reasonable Deadlines - You will need to set deadlines for yourself within a *reasonable* timeframe.
