In this month’s “Ask the Coach” article I’m answering a reader question about how to build a consistent writing routine, even while managing work and family.
This is the high level view of the 7 tips I shared to help writers start to establish a consistent writing routine and rhythm. Each tip is described more fully in the article, but here’s the list to get you started:
- Begin with sustainability in mind.
- Study your own “resistance threshold.”
- Explore your optimal time of day for writing.
- Trim time from less fulfilling activities.
- Design a writing schedule.
- Build in writing associations or triggers.
- Implement and refine.
In order to be consistent, a useful strategy is selecting a sustainable level of effort for each of your writing sessions.
