“…set a timer, put it in your calendar, and say like ‘no, every day I’m going to write for thirty minutes.’ And just say that is all I have to do is just thirty minutes. I have found that when I give myself a very short specific time frame, I can get a lot done. Whereas, if I just sit down and anticipate having a four-hour block, I won’t get just as much done.”
