I'm often asked about how I manage to do as much writing as I do, along with everything else I juggle. There are two answers. First, I write for at least two hours every morning, no matter what. The first hour of my morning, I write. At home, on road, weekdays, or weekends, it doesn't matter. Tired or not, inspired or not, it doesn't matter. Second, I block time, often weeks, occasionally months in advance, as appointments with myself-just as I would keep an appointment with a client.

Here is another power technique is to minimize any unplanned activity. By reducing unscheduled time and unplanned activity, you automatically reduce waste. If you look carefully, you'll see that most people just sort of show up.

They arrive at office, at work, and react to situations. If you press them for their day's plan, you'll find they may have only one or two scheduled activities-one of which is usually lunch-and maybe a few things on a vague things-to-do-list. All unscheduled time somehow gets used up, but if you again press them at end of day, or better yet, at end of week, they cannot tell you where it went. The person who cannot tell you where his or her time goes is forever destined to be unpubished.

Ideally, have your day scheduled out by half hour, from start to finish. I recommend blocking out each hour into four, 15 minute segments. At top of each hour make it a point to see how many of your most important items you can clear. Start your planning with 15 minutes.

Why not try to plan for just one week?

It is a cliché, that those who fail to plan, plan to fail. Cliché or not, it is worth remembering and worth taking time to plan. When you plan, you free up mental energy that is pulling on you because you don't have a clear direction. When this happens, practically no writing gets done.

Do write thing,
