Time Management Recap

The best way to plan your day is make a list of things you want to accomplish, making the list the night before and previewing it just before you go to bed.

  

Make appointments with yourself to write. If you're unable to do that due to family, work or other constrictions, carry works-in-progress with you and learn to work in five, ten, twenty minute increments. You can actually edit several pages in five minutes.

  

Don't let time control you. Instead, you control your time. Prioritize, re-evaluate what you're already doing, versus what you *want* to be doing. There's always some little place you can make an adjustment.

  

And most important ... what works for me, won't work for you. When you do find what works for you, make it a daily habit and you'll be amazed at the time you can find.


Former MMRWA member Diana Fox is published in contemporary romance and is currently working on screenwriting as her new passion.
