Six
Rules of the Organized Writer |
|
Here are the
six rules of every organized
writer....
|
| Rule
1: Work with Yourself, Not
Against Yourself |
| Understand
your personality and what works
for you. Do what feels right
and what appeals to you—not what
seems to “be organized.” |
| Rule
2: Focus and Pay Attention |
| Whenever
possible, do one thing at a time.
Do not let your mind wander.
Picture the goal in your mind, and
focus on it. |
| Pay
attention to how you spend your
time. Saving just 20 minutes
each day gives you an extra 120
hours a year. Strive to
improve the time it takes to
complete a project. Be
willing to invest a block of time
if it will save you hours of
frustration later. |
| You
can create a new habit (or lose a
bad habit!) in 21 days.
For only three weeks of
effort, you can create a lifetime
of useful habits. |
| Rule
5: Use the Right Tools |
| Make
sure you have the right tools
handy when you need them. |
| Organize
for your work ahead. Don't
organize what's already finished.
You want to save time going
forward not just reorganize what
you already have. |
|
|
Implementing just one or two of these six rules
is certain to increase your
productivity. See for
yourself....
