Dear Colleague,
Here is one of real, hidden secrets of those who consistently produce product: make inviolate appointments with yourself to write. You most likely do a fairly good job at keeping appointments you make with others. You have mastered this skill, so why not use it to get things done?
For example, I have to write Spiritual Java course, Dream Achievers course, daily Winning Edge, my coaching practice, there's another novel I'm working on, a newsletter in a different field, seminar planning etc.
I block out several hours days in advance of due date. If I didn't block out that time in advance, I'd wind up desperately scribbling out copy minutes before due date.
Some years back, I was counseling a hypnotherapist new to his practice. I shocked him when I told him to close his practice for a day if he wanted to see more business success. I suggested that instead of seeing clients that he devote an entire day to “marketing”. This was a day that he was to call patients, visit health foods stores, give speeches, and his charity work.
Most of these important tasks weren't getting done because his time was eaten by talking to patients. his little extra time to promote his business paid him back in huge dividends. He had to block out time for himself, so that he could accomplish this.
