Take breaks: It's important to take breaks from writing and give yourself time to rest and recharge. Take a walk, do some stretching exercises, or simply take a few deep breaths.
Practice Mindfulness: Mindfulness practices, such as meditation or yoga, can help reduce stress and improve focus.
Set Boundaries: It's important to set boundaries and prioritize your time. Set specific work hours, and stick to them as much as possible. Don't forget to take time for yourself and your personal life.
Stay Organized: Stay organized with your writing schedule, to-do list, and other tasks. Use tools such as a planner or a task management app to keep track of your progress and stay on top of deadlines.
