Description

“It's really important to focus on the big picture story first and not worry about granular details that you can figure out later.” - Savannah GilboGet more done in less time, overcome procrastination, and become a master at time management with these 5 super simple productivity tips that I’ve been using daily for the last 10 years. Here’s a preview of what’s included:[01:07] What is productivity and why does it matter?[04:44] How to time block your days in a way that works for YOU—plus, what this looks like for me (spoiler alert: I’m a night owl so I do my best work at night!).[10:49] Tips for prioritizing your most important tasks so you don’t get stuck in the weeds doing things that don’t move the needle in terms of finishing your book.[17:12] Why multitasking is NOT the answer to higher productivity—and a few surprising ways writers multi-task without even realizing it.[27:26] Cultivating these habits is a gradual process that requires consistent effort. If incorporating all five tips seems overwhelming, experiment with a single tip this week. As you progress, incorporate additional habits and eventually, you'll evolve into a more productive writer.Links Mentioned In This Episode:Story Starter KitClick here to get 15% off a 30+ page manuscript report from The Spun Yarn's beta readers!
