And when I was easing into it, I made it quite short - 20 minutes. With me, it's the part about actually getting myself to sit down and pull up my WIP and start writing - once I conquer that, the 20 minutes becomes longer. But in the meantime, I happily deceive my mind by pointing out "it's only 20 minutes". It works really well for me!Bellehttp://msbookish.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-15445743955210051042010-01-25T23:07:40.270-05:002010-01-25T23:07:40.270-05:00I posted about time management today...I tend to c...I posted about time management today...I tend to cut my writing time to do chores, errands, volunteering and ...napping.

Of course, it takes time and delays the posts showing up on the blog. <br /><br />Since I'm in a different stage of life, I have more time than those with young families. Still, a conscious effort is required to avoid procrastination.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

I didn't do the word verification, but I might have to.<br /><br />The one thing that keeps me writing is my heart to do it. I simply have to. But I agree not to let it interfere with family time. It has before. So I know not to let that happen. And I try to write every morning now. I get up way before the rooster. SHEESH. <br /><br />See you Wednesday my friend.
